1922*
Greetings Troters!
Recent press reports tell us that Fred Vogel has formed a partnership to operate the Green Mountain Tissue Co., at Bellows Falls, Vt. His business background lends itself perfectly to this new business as his former connections for many years were with the Brown Company and San Nap-Pak Company. Our best wishes go to Fred in his new venture.
Our Boston whip has hastened to report on the annual night-before-the-Harvard game class dinner at the University Club in Boston. The faithful in attendance were:
Ray Atwood, Dave Caldwell, Dick Litchfield, Bill Bullen, Nick Carter, Len Morrissey, Ced Porter, Carroll Dwight, Haskell Cohn, Oscar Rice, Ham Spiers, Walt Sands, Fran Leland, Jack Aborn, Hal Green, George Stanley, Elmer Ardiff, Ted Dyer, Matt Cassin, Dick Willis and Bob Hight. Our thanks to Haskell Cohn and his committee.
A good letter from Frank Horan tells about his politicking for the Democratic state committee in New York. One of the things that Frank enjoyed best was arranging for a luncheon for Johnnie Sullivan, '21, new asst. secretary of the U. S. Treasury, whose political career began with those stupendous campaigns for election as mayor of Hanover. Frank goes on to say that he has recently bought a house at Cornwall, Conn, for summer use and I gather that he was swayed in this decision because Joe Talbot is in charge of Connecticut's finances.
Announcement has recently been made of the engagement of Anne R. Truesdale, of Westbury, L. I., to our own John Wood. Heartiest congratulations and best wishes! Johnny, as you know, is a vice president of B. Altman & Co., New York.
Larry Campbell, of Barre, Vt., ranks high in your Secretary's estimation for making use of the dope sheet to full advantage. Some of the highlights from Lar- ry's response are to the effect that he is in the real estate renting business and a member of the local Rotary Club. In addition, he is a trustee of the Barre City Hospital and devotes considerable time to that worthwhile work. As vice president of the Vermont Hospital Assoc., he occasionally runs into Jim Hamilton and, as a trustee of the Barre Building & Loan Assoc., has frequent dealings with Sterry Waterman, w. k. St. Johnsbury attorney. Sterry, by the way, is the chairman of the Vermont Social Security Board and spends most of his time in Montpelier.
Your Secretary had occasion in late October to be in Chicago and, being a faithful reader of the MAGAZINE, recalled that there was a Dartmouth table reserved daily in the men's grill of Mandel's store in the loop. He found Gene Hotchkiss and Spic Saunders ably representing '22, and enjoyed the hour's visit with them. He also had occasion to see Ted Davidson but because of lack of time was unable to make other contacts.
George Shattuck is now principal of the Norwich Free Academy, Norwich, Conn, and lives at 120 Broad Street, there.
Lloyd Fogg has resigned from the zoology department of the University of New Hampshire and has become assistant professor of Histology and Embryology in the Boston University Medical School in Boston. His new home has been established at 17 Glenwood Avenue, Newton Center, Mass.
One of the letters recently received by your Secretary was postmarked Diablo Heights, Canal Zone. Ralph (Mike) Adams was reporting that this last summer he transferred his business connection and is working on the new locks project for the government. Mike had planned to go down for a year only but liked the job and the personnel so much that his family is now joining him for possibly a two or three- year stay. Mike says "If any of my more affluent classmates are in this vicinity on a cruise this winter, the Adamses would be delighted to see them and to show them the Canal Zone or the night life."
Clarence (Sandy) Sanders, hailing from Houston, Texas, has a lot to report. He has been elected a Fellow of the Geological Society of America and the Society of Exploration Geo-Physicists. Sandy is treasurer of the new Dartmouth Alumni Assoc. in Houston and has participated in making arrangements for banquets and fishing trips for the group. Spike Hamilton, '23, has been Sandy's golf partner several times.
Bob Bartlett is teaching at Hingham (Mass.) high school and, as announced in the columns recently Roy Hill is the new principal.
Before we know it, our Twentieth Reunion will be upon us. Your Secretary has been giving a lot of thought to the appointment of a reunion chairman and committee as we all recognize the importance of having a well run party with plans for wives and children this time as well as for ourselves. In many ways the Twentieth will be one of our most important class gatherings. Bearing in mind all these points and giving consideration to other angles, including geographical location and ease of communication with Hanover, your Secretary has prevailed upon Carter H. Hoyt, of Boston, to be our Twentieth Reunion Chairman. The composition of the committee to work with him will be announced in an early issue.
Joe Ross lives in Albany, N. Y. at 664 Hudson Avenue, and suggests that whenever there are class dinners or meetings or gatherings, either in New York or Boston he be advised because he would like to swell the attendance. Boston and New York whips, please take notice.
Ted Robie has recently published a medical brochure which has been well received.
Phil Gove has also had several papers published as a result of his recent research in England.
Dalton Brown is now connected with Dry Dock Associates on a big construction job at the Norfolk Navy Yard and has established his residence in Apartment E-4 at 200 Western Branch Blvd., Portsmouth, Va.
In the October issue, an announcement was made of the Bill Mann's new heir and ruler of the roost. The potential '65er is named John Evers Mann.
Herm Oliver, of Buffalo, has recently sold the department store carrying his name and is now devoting his full time to the Buffalo Lithograph Co. as secretary and treasurer. Some months ago, I spent a very pleasant evening with Herm and hope to do so again before too long.

Do You REMEMBER WHEN?
The Class elected John Walter Thornton first president of the class. John is now a real estate broker in the golden city of Los Angeles. Hardy Ferguson was elected vice president, and Dick Stetson treasurer. F. H. Sargent Jr., who was made Secretary, stayed at Dartmouth only one year, as did John Thornton.
J. V. McDermott (Gubby) and P. H. Threshie (Phil) were the respective chairmen of the basketball and hockey teams. These were post-war months and intramural sports were the fashion.
Norman Hapgood, author and editor, came to Dartmouth and expressed the opifiion that the League of Nations would be successful in reducing armaments and preventing the breaking up of the nations into small factions. O tempora, O mores!
We all drank in his words, and all but the tough minded, always in the minority, agreed with him. Where are we now? I mean the Wilsonian idealists? Selling insurance? or working for the W.P.A.? And do we now believe in Union Now?
Sixty members of 1922 went out for the various competitions, and some of the boys who later made good were Frank H. Horan, my esteemed legal and philosophical friend, Sylvester Bingham, scholar extraordinary, R. P. Booth, who does such a fine job on the alumni fund, J. H. D. Zuckerman, and others.
I must in candor say that this is all heresay to me as I did not join our estimable class until the fall of 1920, but although the DAILY DARTMOUTH makes mistakes, it never lies—so I fancy the above, though not pulsating with drama, is correct.
Secretary, 517 15th Ave., Bethlehem, Penna.
Treasurer, 16 Sunset Hill Ave., Norwalk, Conn.
