1922
Your secretary is glad to have the opportunity again to say hello to you all. There is a lot of satisfaction in seeing some of you as I travel around the country and particularly to receive the various notes that reach my mail box during the year. At the same time there is a lot of hard work involved in writing this column, particularly if there is a lack of news and letters.
A few weeks ago you all received a letter and information sheet and to those of you who have not replied may X urge that you let me hear from you with whatever items there may be of interest concerning your family, job, etc.
Several loyal Twoter wives were good enough to write me during the last year, apparently considering their spouses too modest. I should very much like to have my mail supplemented in this way again as they were very good correspondents. Also don't forget that we can use snapshots.
ANNOUNCEMENT: Bill Bullen has agreed to accept the chairmanship of 1922's 25th Reunion Gift Committee, taking the place of Had Pinney who has resigned. Within a short time you will probably be hearing from Bill as the plans and campaign get under way. Begin to plan for this in your budget. It will be the opportunity of your lifetime to really do something BIG for Dartmouth. The mention of Bill's committee will be carried in these columns at a later date.
You will be interested to know that Major Johnny Carleton arrived in Manchester in late August for a twenty-one day leave, after having spent seven or eight months in England. The major, as you know, is in the Air Corps.
Harry Griswold, public relations ace of Walgren Drug Cos., formerly of Seagram's Distillers, has taken the opportunity during the past summer of visiting his children in camp near Hanover and of browsing around the campus.
Bob Booth is to be New Hampshire chairman for this year's National War Fund drive to be conducted in October Larry one, within recent months, has answered the call of New England. He has moved to Keene, N. H., after having spent some time in Chicago The Marshall family spent a very enjoyable week in early August with Nan and Carroll Dwight at Lake Sunapee in N. H Bill Dodds, Paterson, N. J., retail merchant, was elected to the board of the local Citizens Trust Cos. several months ago Eddie Johnson is with the East River Savings Bank in New York and responsible for their mortgages in that borough where the tree grew.
You have all heard from Jack Dodd, class agent, on the excellent results of our class participation in the Alumni Fund drive which ended last June. With the final figures available it is interesting to recall thaL we missed our quota of $4BBO by only $110.87. This is certainly an outstanding improvement over former years and represents a dollar increase of about 28 per cent over the preceding period. It is a source of satisfaction on the one hand to realize what a good job was done, but on the other it can only act as a stimulus for getting into that 100 per cent plus bracket next year. Let us all resolve now to do our full share.
Mike Adams, as you may recall from previous columns, was in Panama with his family for some time on Government work but early this year was transferred back to Washington. His family returned to Concord, Mass., for a while. I am not sure that I have Mike's present address or his duties with the war department—a good letter from you is in order, Mike.
Loosh Sherman wrote me some months ago about his activities in the war. He was one of a group of about 350 men who were given Chief Specialist (G) ratings from the Bureau of Aeronautics. His training took place in a gunnery school in Florida, and Loosh was then sent to Puerto Rico. His letter indicates that he teaches squadron personnel how to hit from the air with flexible guns. Ap- parently Loosh has gained a great deal of satisfaction from his training of the younger men in aerial gunnery. At this writing it is not known whether he has received his lieutenant's commission or not.
Hal Frederick is boss of the Harold W. Frederick Cos., 618 West Second Ave., Spokane, Wash. For some time Hal has been very busy with war construction work in the Northwest and advises, via Howie Almon, that he has been living in Spokane since 1928, is married and has a five or six-year-old daughter.
