1923

One turkey down and one to go. That's a more cheerful tally than the football scores, though the Big Green put up a good and game fight. We'd like to hear whom you met at the games or around a punchbowl afterward.

Did you catch the important news on pages 24 and 25 of your ALUMNI MAGAZINE last month? '23-wise, it ran thisaway: one of our most newsogenic mates, Charlie Zimmerman, has been appointed chairman of the regional organization on the Hopkins Center Project national committee, with three more sidekicks as chairmen of regional committeesJoe Millar, Miles Mills and Horace Taylor.

And, speaking of officers, here's a short refresher on spots currently held down by '23: Irish Flanigan and Charlie Rice on the Alumni Council; John Moore, Alumni Association; Jules Rippel, Memorial Fund Chairman; that man Rice again as first vice-president of the Connecticut Alumni Association; Ed Lyle, president of the Dartmouth Club of New Haven; Hal Fitz, president of the Dartmouth Club of Washington, D. C.; Kully Williams, secretary of the Dartmouth Club of Rockford, Ill.; George Weston, secretary of the Dartmouth Club of Springfield, Mass.; Jim Brown, president of the Dartmouth Club of the Mohawk Valley (at Utica, N. Y.); Fred Fisher, secretary of the Dartmouth Association of Oregon. It looks like "23 up" among the alumni organizations!

Visitors at the Inn in October (and what better time is there in Hanover?) included: Frank Doten, George Fuller, Walt Friend, JoeMillar, W. W. Kimball, Nevin Carson, LeonSargent, R. H. Emerson, Charlie Zimmerman,George Weston, and D. A. Jefferson—all accompanied by their wives.

You probably read in the October issue of the resignation of Don Cobleigh as assistant professor of music. His accomplishments as director of the Glee Club for 13 years will be long and pleasantly remembered. Don's kind of music will be missed by us all.

Quoting a recent report from the Class Memorial Funds Committee: "Among classes approaching their 25th Reunion, the greatest interest focuses naturally on 1923, now in its final campaign period. With almost $50,000 now on hand, they are working to complete their solicitation "A word of support for Jules Rippel's magnificent job to date is certainly another piece of coal for Newcastlebut it will help him considerably if you'11 send along that legal tender right away.

It's been some time since the publication either here or in Irish's Skiddoo of a list of '23 fathers with sons now at Dartmouth. Since you ll all be interested, here's the most recent one available: Kenneth B. Hurd, Louis J. VanOrden, William W. Kimball, James M. Osborne, Phillip A. Segal, Walter A. Friend,Truman T. Metzel, Lawrence T. Barnett, Dr.Carl V. Granger, Rev. John Cummings, Howard P. Emerson, Russell P. Carpenter, PaulF. Carver, Sherman M. Clough, Ralph E.Duffy, George W. Ferguson, Walter C.

Cap Palmer opens his latest letter with enthusiastic congratulations to Irish Flanigan for originating and promoting '"23 Night," and sends this account of the Southern California get-together:

"Kudos to Bill Conrad, whose persistent salesmanship got the Southern California delegation together for the first time since graduation. Place, LA University Club. List: Conrad, (who hustles business for contractors W. A. Simpson Co.—anybody need a new planetarium?); Red Hoag (back from the Army and the Alcan Highway, in charge of construction for the Dept. of Water and Power in the Hollywood area); Hi Streight (sleek downtown attorney, mostly corporate practice); KarlLundberg (immigrant from Rockford, raising dates and grapefruit on his ranch near Indio); KarlStadlinger (the Burbank Hippocrates); RalphStaley (just finishing a new whodunit novel); and Cap Palmer (recovering from a self-inflicted gunshot wound after The New Yorker's review of Fun and Fancy Free). Nothing spectacular went on—we just drank, ate, drank, reminisced, drank, and got generally caught up on events: but it was as relaxed and pleasant an evening as any seven guys would want to spend. There'll be more, especially if some of you gentlemen from the East drop by and give us an excuse, and Bill will try to sink his hooks into Bevo. Larry Brooks, HankFreeman, Jirn Moody, Tom McKnight and DarrellNeale from nearby; and Fred Bryan, Parke-rChambers, Frank Damon, Johnny Harkins and Frank Roby from the outlying counties. Note—to ensure congenial company, there will be a 1923 table marked off at all future alumni affairs; flock to it."

Thanks to Cap for this swell report which shows that '23 Night has been established as a successful annual event from coast to coast.

And now Jim Broe takes over to give you a blow-by-blow account of the '23 party in Boston on the Harvard game weekend:

At 6 p.m., Friday, October 24, at the Copley Plaza, Irish called an open meeting of the Executive Committee with the Chairman of the Memorial Fund and the Chairman of the 25th Reunion present. All classmates here had been individually invited and the response was enthusiastic. The meeting was short and effective. There followed a weekend of sociability, reunion and warm spirits which resulted in the renewing of old friendships despite the changes wrought by maturity.

Irish and the Committee held open house at the Copley throughout the entire weekend and no finer hosts could be had. In addition, there was an informal and impromptu class dinner late Friday evening at Locke Ober's famous restaurant and a cocktail and luncheon party at noon Saturday, before the game at the Hotel Commander, Cambridge, which included wives, families and friends.

The following is an incomplete list of those attending all or some of the parties:

Fred Bailey, Sherm Baldwin, Howie Bartlett, Carl Bowen, Heine Bourne, Jim Broe, Chick Burke, Ted Caswell, Russ Carpenter, Sherm Clough, Ed Crowley, Frank Downey, Irish Flanigan, Walt Friend, George Fuller, Cleary Goss, Ly Harding, Nat Harmon, Sam Home, Haub Haubrich, Pete Jones, Stuie Knight, Bob McMillan, Frank Mackedon, Walt Maroney, Ivan Martin, Truman Metzel, Babe Miner, John Moore, Paul Morgan, George Musk, Fred Reed, Charley Rice, Jules Rippel, Howie Sammis, Joe Schiffenhaus, Phil Segal, Mort Stern, Ted Taylor, Len Truesdell, Ken Way, Bill Welch, Bill Whipple, Pen Whitcomb, Charlie Zimmerman.

LEFT TO RIGHT, ALL LEFT LATE: You pick 'em out of this photo, left over from the Broe-Knight post-annual dinner party in the Commodore last spring Johnnie Allen, Bill Whipple, Sol Levine, Ruel Smith, Dick Kershaw Bill Kelly, Stuie Knight, Brooks Palmer, Ardie Herz, Stan Ungar, Bill Gates, Bill Corrigan, Graham Whitelaw, Fred Fisher, Jim Broe, Ed Crowley, Jim Doyle, Ted Hellwig, and John Moore. Hardly a sober face amongst them, is there?

A FLYING START: Hovering inches above the street in downtown Grand Rapids, John W. Dregge '24, as chairman of the Community Chest in that city, leans from a helicopter to shake hands with a department store president who made the first gift. Dregge, an active Dartmouth alumnus, is also regional chairman for the Hopkins Center Project.
