1922*
GREETINGS TWOTERS: Based upon the latest reports from Rex Malmquist, our energetic treasurer, more men have actually subscribed to the MAGAZINE and paid their dues this year than in recent periods. I feel sure that this is accounted for primarily through the fact that the MAGAZINE is reaching all members of the class and that our experience this first year with the 100% basis has definitely merited its continuance even though the class treasury itself has not broken even.
A year from this month our Twentieth Reunion will be the focal point of our June interests, and beginning with the issues of the MAGAZINE next fall interesting dope and plans of the Reunion will be faithfully reported.
Now, here is the dope for the home stretch:
Bob Cate has recently and proudly passed on the word that his boy, Bob Jr., is entering Dartmouth in the class of 1945. Congratulations!
Kip Orr, on leave of absence from TheNew Yorker has been in Key West writing a book which will do for the Florida Keys what "The Dartmouth Murders" did for Hanover.
I recently heard from Ed Kaplan, who is in the men's apparel retail business in Ware, Mass. He and his brother own this successful business, with additional stores in Athol, Gardner and South Barre.
Ced Porter announces the formation of his new law firm-Dike, Calver & Porter, 73 Tremont St., Boston. Our best wishes!
Herb West spoke before the Dartmouth Club of Wellesley in February and several Twoters were on deck.
Bill Gallagher, educator extraordinary, and Dick Litchfield, the tent-maker, are both recent arrivals in suburban Wellesley, the latter building a house.
Announcement: Ason, Daniel Lee Brown, March 2, to the J. Regan Browns of Greenfield, Mass. Reports have it that Regan has recently been elected President of the local Rotary Club. Best wishes.
From far off Oswego, Oregon a letter has just reached me from Ray Wason, who is continuing his building construction business there.
Carroll (Jake) Lawler, Greenfield, Mass., theatre manager and secretary of the Democratic town committee, filed papers for his candidacy for the Democratic State Committeeman from the Franklin-Hampshire district.
As recently reported in these columns, Cliff and Madeline Watson recently moved to Charlotte, N. C. It was your Secretary's great pleasure to see them both during April on one of his trips south. They are both enthusiastic about their new home and their hospitality to me was unsurpassed.
Don't forget the Alumni Fund. It's nottoo late to send your check.
A brief note from Jim Moody about the development of some "interesting things," which I hope he will write me about soon. I am an inquisitive devil and hate to be kept in the dark. Jim's new address is 4646 Louise Ave., Encino, Calif.
Joe Talbot, former state treasurer, is now the Workmen's Compensation Commissioner for the Fifth Congressional District, Waterbury, Conn. Joe has four youngsters, the latest addition being a boy now about ten months old.
Frank Hutchins is still holding forth in the advertising business in Rochester, N. Y. The list of the accounts which his firm handles reads like excerpts from "Who's Who." I was glad to hear from you Frank, and some way, some how, we ought to connect on one of your many trips through Bethlehem. What say?
Charlie Tapley has authored and recently sent me a little booklet about his home town of Danvers, Mass., and surrounding countryside. It is his own handiwork and a corking job.
Word from Carroll Dwight tells of the arrival of their third child and second daughter, Susan, on March 12. Congratu- lations!
Louis Thomas, after ten years of teaching at Central High School, Manchester, N. H., has become affiliated with R.C.A. Manufacturing Cos., in Camden, N. J., and at the time he wrote me he was living at the Plaza Hotel in Camden. Let me know when you are permanently settled with new address, Louis, and any more dope about your new job that you can send along.
Earle Smith, longtime Portland, Me., resident, has been transferred by the Brown Cos. to its Berlin, N. H. office. Earle has been connected with the accounting department of that firm for years and now has the title of Chief Accountant. Earle and Esther have two girls—Shirley 6, and Sylvia 9.
Have you sent your check to Bob Boothfor the Alumni Fund?
Bob Almy is Professor of English at Miami University, Oxford, Ohio. Bob bemoans the fact that he sees very few Twoters, but does not let that fact lessen his great interest in the college.
I think all you fellows will be glad to know that I have again heard from Don Donavanik of Bangkok, Thailand (Siam).
Frank Wright is the pastor of the United Church of Milton, Vt. In addition to his work in this large parish, Frank is an officer of other local organizations.
Charlie Hart, American Optical Cos., Southbridge, Mass., was elected to the Southbridge school committee a year ago and is a past commander of American Legion Post No. 31. He and Genevieve have three children—Charlie Jr., 12, Elizabeth, 7, and Katharyn, 3.
Some time ago Gene Hotchkiss sent me a long newsy letter about doings of various Twoters in the Chicago area. He mentions that Roy and Dot Ball, visitors from Flint, were guests of the Leslie Wagners. Jim Hamilton, our famous hospital executive, was another visitor to the Windy City. Gordon Hinners, son of Ralph, has applied for admission to the college this fall from New Trier High School where Wally Aschenbach is football coach. Gene's term of office as President of the Chicago Alumni Assoc. expired in March, but both he and Moodie Spiegel remain on the Executive Committee.
Note to Butch Spiel: Where is that letter that was promised me?
Don't forget your subscription to theAlumni Fund.
Well, we come to the end of our column for this year. It has been an enjoyable experience, and I have had the pleasure of hearing from and seeing a good many Two ters during the year. I shall look forward to the fall when I greet you all again, but honestly will welcome the few months respite from meeting the 10th of the month deadline for these notes. Sometimes when I don't feel that I have very much dope for you and think it will be hard to fill the column, something always turns up so that at least the length of the monthly column has been reasonably respectable. Naturally, the more frequently I hear from you all, the better the news.
A pleasant summer and happy holidays to you all. '33 UP!
Herb West, take it away.
