1922
A very successful dinner was held at the Dartmouth Club in New York City on April 22nd. The classes of '20, '21 and '22 participated and low and behold 32 stalwart Twoters were present and able to account for themselves. In fact, we outshone the other two groups each of which had about 25 members present. After a social period around the bar and a fine dinner, the evening got underway under the capable stewardship of Doug Storer, with Ort Hicks as backstop. Eddie Earl '17 did a swell job on the piano, then Ross McKenney, woodsman advisor to the Outing Club, told some good stories in French-Canadian dialect as "Batiste" and later described some of the woodsmen's activities of the D. O. C. Carl Newton, outstanding barrister and well-known exponent of the art of legerdemain accomplished some of his amazing stunts under our interested noses. Dale Carnegie, you know—the fellow who knows how to make friends and influence people—was then introduced and gave us a fine talk. The prize of the evening, however, was awarded by acclamation to none other than our own Arthur Norton, who was the only guy in the whole gathering that correctly and immediately gave the answer to one of Dale's geometric problems.
The following Twoters announced their presence—Healy took the count and swears he identified everyone: Len Bernheim, Rex Malmquist, Charlie Earle, Larry Healy, Chris Suttmeier, Ben Wilson, Bill Haas, Bob Dewey, Al Lyon, Frank Horan, Dalton Brown, Harry Bruckner, Jack Dodd, Killie Kilmarx, Lloyd Barnard, Ted Robie, Harry Griswold, Roger Eastman, Cecil Goldbeck, Bruce Cunningham, John Fancher, Bob Armstrong, Art Norton, Johnny Johnson, Ralph Reid, Doc Pullen. Chuck Canfield, Bill Morrell, Bill Wilkinson, Bert Hauser, John Dana and Andy Marshall.
The pepper and enthusiasm of this bunch was great to see. The New York committee for the dinner are to be congratulated on the work they did to insure such a fine turnout.
Al Lyon has recently been promoted to assistant regional manager of the eastern district for Montgomery-Ward and Co. He has moved from Pittsburgh to West Road, Short Hills, N. J. Al and Mary recently were luncheon guests of Charlotte and your Secretary in Bethlehem.
Larry Henderson, famous corporal of Company I's first squad, announces the arrival of a new heir, Charles Franklin by name. Congratulations to the Hendersons!
Ralph Totman is housemaster at the Brookline (Mass.) High School and lives at 15 Claflin Road. It won't be long before he and Dorothy are spending their summer in Alstead, N. H.
Cece Goldbeck is writing a novel which will probably be published next fall.
Dick Beyer is a Concord, N. 11., resident and from a recent letter we learn that he is minister of the Old First Church there. His wife, Hazel, Richard 14, Beverly 12, and David 9, make up the family.
Another Concordite dropped me a line recently—Andy Heath by name. Andy is engaged in publicity work for the State of New Hampshire and reports that on January 21st a daughter Laura Kate arrived. Andy Jr., 11, and Frederick 9, hold down the fort with Mr. and Mrs. at 51 Franklin Street.
The annual dinner of the Dartmouth Alumni Club of Boston was held on April lath at the Copley Plaza and Twoters present were all too few. The roster included Mai Clarke, Dave Caldwell, Carter Hoyt, Carrol] Dwight and Haskell Cohn.
Al Crampton is the Boston Representative of Weeden and Company at 24 Milk Street.
Haskell Cohn has been keeping your correspondent tipped off on various Boston area activities and from him we learn that Ced Porter and his wife have left for California on a combined business and pleasure trip. By the time these notes appear in print, the Porters will probably be back home again and we shall await Ced's report.
Dick Litchfield was in Hanover recently on a business trip.
Following the New York dinner mentioned earlier in these notes, Larry Healy, Charlie Earle, and I had the great pleasure of telephoning (with Healy's compliments), and talking to Howie Almon and Valeria at their home in Berkeley, California.
A few weeks ago I ran into Jim Maze in a St. Louis hotel. It was great to see him again and we chewed the fat that evening until my train time. Jim is an officer of W. H. Maze Company, outstanding Peru, (111.) nail manufacturers. Unfortunately he and Sarah have no candidates for Hanover but are the proud parents of Marth 14 and Fannie 12. Jim says the Maze family will be on deck for our twentieth in '42.
When you receive this issue about June 1st, the Alumni Fund Drive will be underway. Let every man resolve to do his full share in this annual campaign. It's not too late to mail your check!
Now I would like to add a personal word. It has been great fun to write, or I should say attempt to write, these monthly columns during the past year. I sincerely hope that you have enjoyed them and have obtained something of personal value. The MAGAZINE has been subscribed for by just about half of us but next year it will go to everyone. This should mean, in the natural course of events, an increasing closeness of fellowship and class and college interest. It will also give me, as your Secretary, even greater confidence and enthusiasm, for as Frank Horan and Jack Aborn can undoubtedly tell you, a Secretary's job is made so much easier (insofar as this column is concerned) when he knows it reaches the entire class. On the other hand, even with the best of reporters and scouts, the column cannot maintain a reasonable level of interest unless each of you do your part in periodically writing your Secretary with news of your activities or those of other Twoters.
I keenly look forward to greeting you all again in the fall. Best wishes for a pleasant summer and happy holidays! '22 UP!
