1922
Lest there be any misunderstanding as to the authorship of the excellent profile on Bob Booth in last month's column, we wish to proclaim to all and sundry that the magic initials—F.H.H.—should have been appended to the article, but were not, through printers' error.
The profile originally scheduled for this issue is being postponed for a bit because I found quite an accumulation of news items and bits of information regarding the boys that it seemed to be about time to go visiting again.
I have received several swell letters from Jim Folan who is a corporal in a bombardment group of the Army Air Forces. Jim has been stationed in a good many spots throughout the country since his enlistment in the fall of '4.2 at Fort Devens, Mass. His latest address is Charleston, S. C., and I am looking for another good letter from him before long.
Late flash from the Windy City—those in attendance to hear Prexy at the annual banquet of the Chicago Alumni Association held late March were Bill Pierce, Butch Spiel, Modie Spiegel, Ted Davidson, Spic Saunders, Les Wagner, Jack Blunt, Ralph Hinners, Jack Taylor, Walt Aschenbach, Swede Swenson and Gene Hotchkiss.
Rex Malmquist recently has bought a new house. It's an important address for the Malmquist family and the class—ls3 East Avenue, Norwalk, Conn.
Internationalist Hamilton is living up to his fame. He and Sal have spent a recent holiday in Mexico (Jim also lecturing for a couple of weeks). Their postcard to the Marshalls pictures a crowded bull ring at Monterey.
Warren Daniell—Millinocket (Me.) paper tycoon—is the father of six husky offspring. That sure is a gang to be proud of! One of Warren's friends, a Marine officer just back from the South Pacific on furlough, reports running into Godfrey Canty, a lieutenant in the Seabees. Dan's local activities include chairman of the local War Fund drive, ration board member, plane spotter, etc.
Jim Cravens of the Houston (Tex.) insurance firm of Cravens, Dargan & Co., took leave of his business almost two years ago and entered the Air Corps—a captain now, he is in the Personnel Division of the A.A.F. Central Flying Training Command with headquarters at Randolph Field.
Retailer Ed Kaplan sends best greetings from Ware (Mass.).
Lieut. Col. John Wood is presently assigned to Headquarters, Army Air Forces, with an office in the Pentagon building. He is living at The Anchorage, Connecticut Avenue at Q St., Washington, D. C.
Clarence Sanders reports a new address— -2413 Colonial Parkway, Fort Worth, Texas. The versatile Booth displayed his prowess in fields removed from law when he and his partner won the New Hampshire duplicate bridge tournament during the past winter.
Herb West spoke at a winter meeting of the Dartmouth Club of Springfield, which was held in late December at the Longmeadow Country Club.
Leonard Probst has been appointed a member of the N. Y. State Probation Commission by Governor Dewey. Len is a N. Y. lawyer and a partner in the firm of Probst & Probst.
Back in February Charlie Hart sought nomination to the Southbridge school committee. Scouts have not advised your correspondent Of the outcome as yet. Charlie, by the way, served 4s a member of the school committee for three years and last year lost out in nomination for re-election by a very close margin. He is a past commander o£ the local American Legion post, is vice chairman of the town Public Safety committee and is a member of various other city and charitable groups.
And hearty congratulations to Gene Hotchkiss upon his election to the Alumni Council from District III! 1922 takes deep pride in the distinction accorded one of its best known members! His untiring work for Dartmouth, his unfailing friendships for Dartmouth men, and his unswerving loyalty to the college, all have tended to make his election for this fugh post a fitting reward for his energies. Three cheers and a skoal for you, boy!
Didn't the picture of those floating duck boards on last month's cover give you a slight nostalgic feeling for Hanover Plain?
AT RANDOLPH FIELD in the Personnel Division is Capt. James R. Cravens '22.
Secretary, 1837 Arlington St., Bethlehem, Pa. Treasurer, 16 Sunset Hill Ave., Norwalk, Conn.
