CLASS OF 1922
Your dry snooper has been bouncing around northern New England on a vacation, and after a lethargic interlude in Saxtons River came to Hanover, where these sonnets are being written.
First to say whom we missed. Charles Hopkins, a Prom Committee boy who has made good as a realtor, paid a short visit to Hanover early in October. This item we owe to James Campion, who has received an appointment as society editor for the Twoter, And further, Van Vleck H. Vosßurgh, Duke of Bridgeport and its dependencies, was here in Hanover for several days on a holiday. We failed to connect because of successive mishaps.
We did see Doc Bill Angell at the Norwich game, and can give good report. Very likely many of our mystic circle attended that fiesta, but there was a big crowd and these old eyes are weak.
We spent a day in Manchester visiting John Carleton and Bob Booth. John has an apartment in the same building inhabited by Mr. and Mrs. Booth. Both of these young practitioners showed a city clerk how a squire conducts business. Another squire we visited was Sterry Waterman, St. Johnsbury legal tycoon. Sterry and this department attended the Hobart game with Mr. and Mrs. H. West and were their guests at supper. Later that evening we visited Eaton Leith, who entertained in our honor.
Kip Orr spent the summer in Hanover, and is here at this writing. By now his mystery story, "The Dartmouth Murders," must be available at any bookstore, (advt.)
Having just issued a Twoter, our editorial pate has few facts within it, and we ask forgiveness for chronicling our personal peregrinations.
After the appearance of said Twoter we heard from Harvey Moses, who gave us these morsels:
Herm Carlisle has a son and Bob Baldwin a daughter. Don Sweet has been moved to Providence by reason of his Springfield firm having been taken over by National Dairy Products. Mose himself had a nifty trip to some of the United Fruit Company plantations in Cuba during the summer.
From Joe Herren comes a letter that we would like to reproduce here in full. He is still the backbone of the economics department at Alabama Polytechnic Institute, Auburn, Ala. Mrs. Joe is likewise a member of the faculty of said college, in the capacity of nutritionist. Joe is a member of the Kiwanis Club, and is, we gather, going ahead under full steam. He cites us some living expenses which are unbelievably cheap.
It is our intention to issue another Twoter during the winter, and we therefore beg that you forward all bits of gossip without delay.
Bunny Bunnell, Akron tire craftsman, furnishes us with the information that Dave Camp is prettily situated with the A. T. & T. in the city of Quebec. Dave and spouse welcomed a daughter not long ago, says our informant. Bunny visited him and avers that Dave's touch with the Frenchmen is perfect. Butch Spiel was seen in Akron this summer peddling printing to Firestone. Mr. and Mrs. Jere Robinson greeted No. 2 recently, and now point with pride to a son and a daughter.
Those tasteful little cards that Stan Miner issued a few weeks back were intended to wheedle us into dues-paying. The Twoter will be better nourished if some few of the citoyens pay up.
Dick Wood gave lectures, (1) "The Governments of Canada and the United States" and (2) "The Westward Expansion of Canada and the United States," to open a series of lectures of a popular nature at the University of Maine.
Mrs. Thomas Mathew Hayward has announced the marriage of her daughter Virginia to Chick Hopkins at New York on September 30. The Hopkinses will live on Beach Road, Westport, Conn.
Russ Putney was recently informed by the Athletic Council that by virtue of his efforts with the 1918 Dartmouth football team he is entitled to a D and may hereafter have a letter-man's rating with respect to football tickets. The Council seems to have adopted War Department policy on war honors.
Larry Leverone motored from Cleveland to Keene, N. H., his home town, in eighteen hours last summer. Our stocking-cap is off to this feat.
Carter Hoyt, merchant, 40 Westminster Road, Newton Center, Mass., informs us that Andy Marshall is keeping the Bostonians in close formation. Carter continues to palm off the furniture of C. F. Hovey and Company. His family has been increased by the birth of Barbara on December 21, 1928. Carter, Jr., was born in 1927. I hold on Carter's behalf a challenge of a secret nature directed to Bob Burgess.
Ike Miller, trust officer of Merchants and Illinois Bank, Peoria, 111., has just completed the construction of a new home, "The Knolls," and is now seeking help in the construction of a rock and flower garden adjacent thereto. He offers any of us bed and board for manual help—he has all the free advice he wants.
