1922

Greetings Tuioters!

Another month has gone and June is well up over the horizon. Our 25th will be here before we know it. YOU can make reunion chairmen Leland and Hoyt happy if you'll tell 'em now that you are coming. Send your card or letter to

E. F. Leland Jr., 273 Summer St., Boston, Mass., or to Carter H. Hoyt, 40 Sewall St., West Newton, Mass.

Since last month's report in these columns Fran has heard from more Twoters and at this writing (February 3) the count stands at

Men Wives Children Definitely coming 52 37 40 Very probable 20 14 11 Grand total 72 51 51

Of course these numbers will be greatly increased during the next month or so. I know its difficult to make one's plans way ahead, as family and business considerations vary but please give Fran or Carter some word just as soon as you can—why not TODAY!

Additional committee men to those mentioned last month are: Rex Malmquist, registrar; Stan Miner, costumes (with Carroll Dwight); and Bob Hight, music.

The present long distance champ for a "probable" at Reunion is Wes Nutten of Los Angeles, followed by Bill Perry of Salt Lake City. Come on you Chicago gang—tell Fran you're coming.

And now, another request before I get into the notes. Cecil Goldbeck tells me the replies to his request for biographical items are coming in slowly. Something like 80 have been received up to late January. To make the job a success or even possible at all, requires the cooperation of 225 Twoters. If youse guys weren't so damn modest, the book would be printed by now!

Please aid in this important class undertaking and send your dope to Cecil Goldbeck, Coward-McCann Inc., 2 W. 45, New York City.

At the time o£ the Alumni Council meeting in Chicago a dinner was held on January 24 to all alumni and their ladies. The class of 1922 was well represented by Davidson, Spiegel, Sherman, Hinners, Wagner, Weare,Aschenback, Hotchkiss and their wives, with Taylor and Sharpe on their own. Spiel, Saunders and Blunt were out of town or previously committed. I'd say that was a darned good turnout by the Windy City boys.

Bob Cate has been appointed manager of the New Haven (Conn.) Veterans Financial Service Center. This is a private enterprise supported by banking and lending institutions in central Connecticut. Bob brings to this important job a wealth of experience, as he has been field supervisor of the State Veterans Reemployment & Advisory Commission and during the war served as major in the state guard. Son, Bob Jr., class of '45, was graduated last September summa cum laude, was elected to Phi Beta Kappa and is now working for the Department of State in Washington. Daughter Betty, 9, and son Thomas H. 1 1/2, help to keep big Bob and Evelyn on the beam.

Joe Perkins, ex-proprietor of Southern House in Brookline, of fond memory to many Boston Twoters (including this correspondent) is now dispensing hospitality at the Danvers State Hospital, where he reports the guests much easier to handle.

A fine letter from Clark Bristol of Montpelier, Vt., tells of his work with the American Fidelity Cos. there. He gets down to Hanover frequently (lucky guy!) and runs into various Twoters on his travels around New England.

From San Diego comes word of the November gth marriage of Parker Meade to Arna C. Richter. They will live at 324 Granada Ave., San Diego. Hearty congratulations!

Dick Litchfield has been elected president of the Charles River Dartmouth Club. Alumni in the towns of Wellesley, Needham, Weston, Natick and Dover comprise the membership of this group. It is an active gang and frequently obtains speakers from Hanover. On a recent New York trip, Dick lunched with BillMorrell and saw Bill Haas, Jack Dodd and Stan Miner.

Fred and Maude Vogel of Bellows Falls announce the arrival of Diana Maude, 6 lbs. 21/2 oz. on Nov. 8, 1946. Hearty congratulations! A short time ago at a Dartmouth Club meeting in Springfield, Vt., Fred met Twoters TommyByrne and Dick Beyer.

Dick Willis was top man in New England in rg46 for the New England Mutual Life Insurance Cos., of Boston.

Jim Martin, long time teacher in the Orange (N. J.) high school has been granted a year's leave of absence to rest. He is recuperating in Tucson, Ariz.—l2s W. Congress St., is his address, and I'm sure he'd like to hear from you boys.

Ernie Spaulding delivered two papers at the December meeting of the American Historical Association in New York. "Records and Record Keeping in International Government" and "The Record of Foreign Policy for theScholar" were the subjects. Thanks, Dick Wood, for the dope.

I regret to tell you of the sudden death in late January of Sam Sparhawk. He will be missed by a host of friends. Other details may be found in the In Memoriam section of this issue.

Things to remember—Write Fran Leland or Carter Hoyt today that you are coming to Reunion—and send your biography and information to Cec Goldbeck at once. June 13-15! It won't be long now! See you next month!

REUNION DIRECTOR for 1922's 25th this summer is Chairman Fran Leiand of Boston.
