If you don't think that the Boston gang isn't overflowing with the "On to Hanover in June" spirit, you should have attended the " '20 Club of New England" dinner last month. From 7 P.M. to early the next morning the 50 present talked nothing but Reunion. The dining room of the University Club was decorated with big Dartmouth 1920 banners and the band interspersed Dartmouth songs with the dance numbers. The photographer muffed the picture which we hoped to run this issue. Who was there? The Ayres, Bernkopfs, Dorneys, Buschmanns, Bennetts, Cratherns, Elliotts, Harveys, Hodgkins, Kitfelds, Lees, Paul Hutchinsons, Raynor Hutchinsons, Macombers, Robertsons, Hib Richters, Sargents, Strattons, Worths, Tillsons, Willeys, Paul Richter, Morrill, Morey and Wallace.
It is with a great deal of sorrow that I report the death of the wives of two of our classmates:
Mona Whitlock Chilcott died on Feb. 5, 1940, of Addison's disease in Bernardsville, N. J. Mona, prior to her marriage resided in Wayne, Pa., and attended Miss Shipley's School in Bryn Mawr and Colonial School in Washington. She leaves three daughters, Barbara, fifteen; Joan, eleven; and Diane, six.
Louise Crathern Russell, wife of Almus and sister of Charlie Crathern died in Mitchell, S. D., last fall. Unfortunately further details are not available.
Jim Robertson has been appointed a member of the employees' committee of a minimum wage board to investigate conditions applying to women and minors employed in the dry cleaning industry in New Hampshire.
A very unique letter was received recently from a member of the Class. It fell in this category because the writer stated he wouldn't be with us in June. However, he had a good reason as Commencement at Olivet College coincides with ours and it is imperative that its president, Joe Brewer, be on hand. Joe says in part:
"I keep running into Dartmouth men of various vintages but it is only occasionally that I see some of the gents who were in Hanover when we were. Hersh Chandler and Laddie Myers I sometimes see in Chicago. While as a college president I am necessarily peripatetic I never stay in any one place long enough to do much more than essential college business. But I am hoping to get over to Detroit for a meeting of the Dartmouth Club on February 17 when I understand President Hopkins will be there.
"I am enjoying my work here enormously. I think I have never been quite so busy but I can assure you there is never a dull moment. We are trying, a little desperately it sometimes seems, to make some sense out of college education, particularly the liberal arts variety, and in spite of everything that is arrayed against this process, I think we are slowly getting somewhere. I wish you and some of the other boys would stop in and see us. There is always a lot going on here. It is a sort of three-ring circus, and I think you might be interested to see how different a college can be from most of what we knew in Hanover.
"Again I wish I could be with you in June but there it is, and hard as I have tried, I have not yet learned how to be in two places all at the same time. The 48-hour day is the most that I have been able to manage along these lines so far."
On the other hand, Wes Carr says he fully expects to be among those present. Wes is with Westinghouse and reports that he sees very few '20 men, the nearest being a brother of Johnny Moore's. Wes has two boys, both bound for Dartmouth, if they can make the grade. How many of us fathers have the same thought.
Mary Robertson pens a note to the effect that she and Jim received a card from Jerry Stone (Larchmont, N. Y.) proclaiming that a new quarterback was born on Dec. 14—Jerry Jr. This calls for some Deke punch next June.
Ted Weiss forwarded a cut from Marketing Magazine of H. W. Newell discussing Kelvinator business with one of their executives. Maybe Hike will furnish the ice cubes next June.
Zack Jordan passes on the news that he is Canteen Manager for the Lockheed Aircraft Corp., Burbank, Calif. He also lives in Burbank. Also, Johnny Bedford is a lumber salesman located at 227 Park Ave., East Orange, N. J. John hasn't been heard from in some time—he better get reacquainted by being in Hanover June 14-16.
The classes of '20, '21 and '22 are going to have a combined class dinner some time in April at the Dartmouth Club, (N.Y.C.). Registered members will get a notice but if you aren't certain that you're on the list get in touch with Haas, Alpine Terrace, Ridgewood, N. J. For our class it will be more than a routine affair as it will offer an opportunity to discuss Reunion plans and to get the "On to Hanover" movement really under way. Carl Newton is scheduled to show his prowess as a magician, possibly pulling a couple of Reunion "Annie Oakleys" out of his, or your, hat. However, this won't mean too much as the tax in June will be a record low with no sacrifice as to quality.
Only 75 days until the 'so "Okies" invade the Hanover plains.
