1922
GREETINGS TWOTERS!
I hasten to pass on to you all the great news that THE TWOTER— The Working Man's Friend—is to be revived by Frank Horan. Two or three issues of this long quiescent but potent publication will reach your avid hands this spring and during the course of this famous news sheet, the monthly notes in the MAGAZINE will be restricted, as nothing should interfere with the revival (temporary though it may be) of Frank's brain-child. We sure are the lucky guys, and are deeply appreciative of Frank's willingness to appear on the scene again first-hand. Let's give him a great big hand!

On one o£ my Western tours during early March I had the great pleasure of seeing Ben Rassieur after a lapse of many years. About a year ago, he formed a new company known as the Paulo Products Cos., 2907 Washington Ave., St. Louis, for the heat treatment of metals. Note to Ben's friends—his home address is 33 Ridge Top, Richmond Heights, Mo.
Still sticking with the Rassieur family, I also paid a visit to T. Edward (Pat) Rassieur, who is operating the Central Mine Equipment Cos. in St. Louis (Ben's old company) and whose home is at 7286 Crevling Drive. Pat wasn't in Hanover very long, but was interested to hear of some of his old friends.
Unsuccessfully, I tried to reach Harold (Doc) Colton, sales manager of the Falstaff. Brewing Co. of St. Louis, but I shall hope for better luck next time.
And just a few days ago (that is, in early April) I had the great pleasure of spending a delightful evening with Bob Turnbull in Detroit. A few cocktails, an elegant dinner, a drive to some of the city's interesting points and a wind-up at a night spot, surrounded a great deal of conversation and made the evening a memorable one for me. Bob and Edna live across the river in Windsor, Ontario, but his daily activities are devoted to the Specialties Distributing Corp. in Detroit. Doctor Wally Shipton and advertising man Johnnie Shea were unable to join us for the evening, though I hope that I shall have the pleasure of seeing them when I head West again.
Remember the Alumni Fund,
After many years of painstaking, arduous and effective work Bob Booth recently has resigned as Class Agent. In order that we may continue to benefit from his counsel he will remain as a member of the class Executive Committee. Bob's resignation has been accepted with real regret and the high standards set by him in his outstanding leadership of the class in the annual Alumni Fund campaigns have made the choice of a successor a difficult one. No Twoter is unaware of Bob's high place in the annals of 1922.
Your Executive Committee announces the acceptance by Jack Dodd of the important post as Class Agent. As an earnest novice amongst far more experienced class agents, we are confident that Jack will have the support of every Twoter. Our thanks to Bob for a job well done and our greetings and best wishes and pledge of support to Jack as he undertakes his new responsibility to the College and to the Class.

A Wah-Hoo-Wah for John McKoan, Worcester (Mass.) physician, who has been promoted to the rank of colonel as of last December 15. He has been placed in command of an evacuation hospital in Africa, according to the latest word received by his family. John was commissioned a first lieutenant in '28, promoted to captain in 1930, to major in 1935, and in March of '41 to lieut. colonel. At the moment, his rank is the highest of all Twoters in our armed forces.

The annual dinner of the Dartmouth Alumni Ass'n of New York was held on the evenings of March 17 and 18 with the older classes attending on the latter date. Although the attendance was somewhat smaller, enthusiasm ran as high as in past years, and your secretary was delighted to see so many Twoters at the buffet supper at the Dartmouth Club. Messrs. Dodd, Miner, Goldbeck, Bruckner, Wilson, Busher, Johnny, Johnson, Reid, Morrell and Marshall listened with close attention to another of Prexy's phenomenal informal talks. It is a pity that more members of 1922 living in the metropolitan New York area could not or would not for one reason or another avail themselves of this outstanding privilege and the chance to renew ties of friendship, good fellowship and loyalty to the College in these important days.
See you next month!
