1922
Besides the officers, the Executive Commit- tee consists of Alfred E. Davidson Jr., 2610 Simpson St., Evanston, 111.; Andrew Marshall2nd, 1837 Arlington St., Bethlehem, Pa.; and Herluf V. Olsen, Hanover, N. H. Feel free to communicate to anyone of the committeemen your suggestions or criticisms relating to affairs of the Class.
I am honored by election to my office and shall try to follow the example of my predecessors, each one of whom has contributed his bit to the growth in stature of the Class. I am not unmindful of the spot I am in as a result of following in the immediate footsteps of the best class secretary of 1947. Incidentally, if you missed it, go back to page 22 of the July issue of the ALUMNI MAGAZINE and read the citation given Andy Marshall with the award.
My traveling is pretty much confined to non-stop trips between Boston and a small town in Louisiana. Accordingly, it is certain that I shall not have the opportunity Andy had of seeing many of you here and there on his travels. That means that I shall be largely dependent upon your voluntary reporting for news to fill this column. Write me about yourself and about classmates. Clip and send me newspaper items that refer to members of the Class, including yourself. You are wrong if you think the membership of the Class is not interested in news of you.
It is not too late to present the followingslant on our 25th Reunion by the weaker sex.Lack of space kept it out of the July issue.
A WIVES' EYE VIEW OF THE 25TH Nan Dwight Allie Hoyt Charlotte Marshall Dot Stetson
THURSDAY
Twenty-five years of waiting for the big reunion and we couldn't wait another day! 12:30—Fran Leland, Ted and Charlotte. 1:30—Carroll and Nan Dwight, Mary Gay and Peter. 2:30—Carter and Allie Hoyt and Barbie plus Charlotte Marshall.
In this order arrived the committee and distributed themselves in the farthest corners of Smith, Woodward and Ripley. Already installed in Bullen's Bar they found Kimball, Threshie and Wagner. Hoyt opened the office for business determined to get cash on the line before the first drink.
To each family he distributed: 1 gorgeous green gabardine sport shirt. 1 neat foulard necktie printed with 1922. 1 stunning plastic bracelet featuring the Dartmouth Indian head and for the small son 1 Dartmouth T-shirt.
Rooms were assigned—the foresighted soon filled the allotted space and, noting the bald heads arriving, Phil Kimball set up his toupee concession —No. 1 in line, Phil Threshie! Thus, handsomely clad and full of reunion spirit, '22 got under way.
FRIDAY
Sunny and fair. The morning was spent in awaiting the arrival of Marshall, who had been practicing in Springfield with Baldwin, Hotchkiss and Kenyon. Kimball, self-appointed "vice-president in charge of Mrs. Marshall," was glad to be relieved of his problem child.
Greetings, group photographs, cocktails and supper in the tent—the President's reception in the beautifully lighted garden, a peek at the senioralumni dance—Wally Lord's music—beer free for '22 and seniors, vocalizing in the tent—and it was Saturday!
SATURDAY
Misty! All activities diverted to the gym. Charlotte, as taxi starter loaded the gals into cars for the dinner at the D.O.C. House while the men were free to walk to their banquet in the rain. We ate lobster and were instructed in skiing by the Class of '97. At Webster Hall we learned how to row for Yale from the Dartmouth Players. Then more beer, competitive harmonizing in the tent and it was Sunday!
SUNDAY
Clear! Colorful commencement exercises in the Bema. Barbecue at Oak Hill. Class picture (order one for the home and one for the office). Fathers' and sons' baseball game. 11-5—draw your own conclusions. Those who still could not bear to leave gathered at the Olsens for a sing featuring Bob Hight's spectacular strumming.
So ended our big 25 th and the gals want to go on record as being more than ever glad to be related by marriage to Dartmouth men.
Thanks for bringing us, boys! It was super!
A picture of Alden James appeared in aJune issue of The New York Times with theannouncement of his appointment as directorof advertising of P. Lorillard Company. Thatwas undoubtedly an important step upwardfor Jim. For the last twelve years he has beenassociated with This Week magazine andprior to that was eastern manager for Atlantic Monthly. Jim authored "Careers in Advertising" somewhere along the line.
If you crave advice on how to vote, apply toCharlie Earle, the recently appointed DistrictLeader of the Pelham Manor RepublicanParty Advisory Committee. When not politicing, Charlie carries on as vice-president ofMuir and Company, Inc., an advertisingagency in New York.
When in Denver be sure to go see the Denver Bears of the Western League play base ball. I have no idea how much of the admission price will reach his pockets, but Will F.Nicholson is vice-president of that club.
A picture of Herb West recently appeared on the literary page of the Boston Traveler. Under the picture his recent book The Mindon the Wing was described as "a pleasant guide for people who enjoy reading and who only incidentally collect first editions." Herb was hospitalized in August as the result of a slight heart attack and at this writing is still in Dick's House. According to latest reports, he is much improved but is unlikely to be teaching when College reopens in early October.
Louis Thomas, who serves in the advertising department of RCA International Division, took the vows with Grace Martin on February 24, 1947. In answer to the query as to what had happened to him during the last year that he hadn't reported, Tommy made the succinct but enthusiastic reply: "Got Married."
Sometime during the past summer (my informer gave no dates) Col. and Mrs. Walter I.Miller put up at the Hanover Inn as did also Dr. and Mrs. Raymond J. Millemann. Whatever the reason, it is unfortunate the two couples could not have arranged their Hanover visits to coincide with Reunion dates.
THEY'RE PROUD OF POP: Carroll and Nan Dwight with children, Mary Gay and Peter. Carroll is the newly elected Treasurer of the Class of 1922 and will be heard from presently by his classmates.
