Class of 1922
Imagine the Secretary's surprise to get a letter dated Oct. 30 from Gene Hotchkiss in Chicago, containing what '22 information was available in that vicinity. Gene, bless his soul!, remembered that the dead line for ALUMNI MAGAZINE notes is the 10th of each month. His letter starts:
"Bearing in mind that Nov. 10 is yourdead line, I am writing to say that there isnothing much new among the '22ers inthis territory. As far as I know, they are allin good health, but I haven't heard of anyof them falling into a bucket of dough.
"The only ones I see regularly are thePsi U gang— Taylor, Davidson, Pierce andWagner and Loosh Sherman and JackBlunt. Spiegel and Spiel never show up atthe luncheons—they must be very busy.Aschenbach, of course, is coaching footballand teaching at New Trier, so can't getdown town. By the way, two of Walt's boysare playing pretty regularly now on theBig Green—Campbell and Dostal.
"Carleton Blunt '26 was out in Los Angeles a short time ago and saw quite a bitof our Will Faust Nicholson. Nick is a director of the Western Golf Association andwas out there for the tournament."
Right here the Secretary shows his great discretion and ends the quotations from Gene's letter. There are more words, but not for distribution in this family publication of wide circulation! But for this much we are grateful and wish that other memin filling up the space each week. Remember—it's all interesting to your classmates.
And Gene's reference to Walt Aschenbach's boys is interesting. So far, that's about as close as any '22ers have come to sending boys to college, as far as I know. Spectators at the Dartmouth games can attest to the worth of Campbell and Dostal, the two Aschenbach-trained football players. It would be interesting to know how Hanover himself. One of the youngest graduates I know to have a son in the college is my fellow Barrington resident, Ralph Koelb. A member of the class of 1920, he has a son a freshman at Hanover now.
Without an exhaustive search of the records, I would say Bob Cate is the father of the oldest son in our class. The Cates have a boy 13 years old. They also have a daughter about two months old.
All boastful parents are invited to submit their statistics!
Members of the class living in the East have watched Campbell and Dostal and the other Big Green football players with great enthusiasm these recent week-ends. There was a handful of '22ers at the Brown game in Providence, including the Secretary. But he sat on the Brown side of the here, a Brown man, who sits on the Dartmouth side of the field at Hanover.
Others at the Brown game were Watson, Porter, Dwight, Morrissey, and Threshie. As well as W. G. Aborn '93, and Johnny Aborn, aged seven, father and son of the class Secretary.
The night before the Harvard game the class participated in the Dartmouth dinners held at the University Club and had an encouraging representation at its table.
Lacking an official list from Len Morrissey, who capably made arrangements for '22's part in the gathering, I recall that Dick Stetston, Frank Horan, Bill Mann, Cliff Watson, Carter Hoyt, Mike Adams, Nick Carter, Cedric Porter, Dick Willis, and Morrissey were there.
We were seated near the class of '21 as well as other classes near our time, and there was considerable enjoyable visiting back and forth. Dick Willis held forth at the piano and also led a few assorted quartets.
As this is being written, the Princeton week-end is ticking away its last minutes. Reports on any gatherings in New York before, during, or after this game would be welcome.
Professor Richard George Wood reports a change of address, but he didn't have far to move. The new address is 560 Beech St., Manchester, N. H. The old address was 503 Beech St., Manchester, N. H.
Charles S. "Chick" Hopkins reports a new job and a new address. He is now a real estate representative of the Gulf Oil Corporation in New York and lives in Cos Cob, Conn.
Dr. Gaylord West Anderson has been named professor of preventive medicine and public health at the University of Minnesota. He lives at 1621 East River Road, Minneapolis, Minn.
Bob Booth was recently elected second vice-president of the United States Eastern Amateur Ski Association, which held its annual business session at Hanover.
With deep sorrow, the death of Jimmy Austin is announced. The Necrology section of this issue carries an account of his death.
Secretary, 26 Walnut Road, W. Barrington, R. I.
