1918

Not having heard much lately from DickWhite, Wash. D. C., (Executive Sec. of the Amer. Assn. of Nurserymen), former roommate of Doc Ray Barrett, Doc George Daniels,Rev. Clint Carvell, Les Brown and LarryWallis, we can't report what Dick Jr. is now doing; but he did graduate from Dartmouth and M.I.T* and his daughter is a grad of Oberlin Whitey (P. G.) White, consultant of trusts anci estates (White & Cos.) occupying the famed Palmer Bldg. in Atlanta, Ga., said sometime back "for more than 20 years, I always thought I belonged to the Class of 'l7, but having been adopted by '18, am delighted to help a bit." (And having roomed with Steve Lehman, Ty Turret and Chet Conlon, we don't consider you adopted Whitey, but a full blooded '18er and will,see you in June in Hanover) And while we're on the Whites, Doc Husky Leon (in Boston), roommate of Leon Dodge, hasn't reported of late what young Leon 111 and Louise are now doing And pondering good old ScottyWhipple, we pause with reverence to the grand old roommates of Scotty, three of whom have gone ahead; Mike Pounds, Bob Munson and Hal Ross—and Nuts Poole who, of course, is very active in Albany.

Walt Wiley, who conducted wonderful memorial services for our class at the 20th Reunion and who, in Pete Colwell's questionnaire a few years back, terms the nature of his business "human engineering," writes an interesting letter from Instanbul, Turkey, where he is a pastor. Parts of his letter follow:

". ... It is 10 months since I arrived (letter dated 11/14/4*7)—have not only become acquainted with members of the Church but also conscious of neglected fields—we have met in the chapel of the Dutch Legation for 90 years—there are considerable groups of British and American businessmen and consular officials and their families that have neglected to write Church into their calendars at all. Books are the only things which may come to us by mail without elaborate customs formalitythe Pan American clippers, now on two-direction round-the-world flights twice a week, and Damascus to New York once a week, and Istanbul to Rio de Janeiro twice weekly, keep one or more lay-over crews here continually except in winter. These crews are fine examples of American physical manhood and womanhood. I see them occasionally in the hospital or at the hotel but only on Easter day have any of them come to church. Turks take notice of this, and also of how much liquor members of the investigating commissions could consume while travelling around Turkey, and comment upon it .... have you read LeCompte du Nouy's new book Human Destiny? I am fascinated and stimulated by his picture of the spiritual ends of the great evolutionary process. In these he sees God shaping His creation ever more completely into his own image."

Out of 29 classes reported on as of 12/20/47 for Class Memorial Fund, '23 stood at top with $57,000; '22—2nd with .$29,000; '19—3rd with $28,000; '21—4th with $26,000; and '18—5th with s25,000—and it's that $25,167.17 (exact amount as of 12/20/47) which we hope will be swelled by generous contributions of '18ers before our June reunion to a total of $40,000.

Les Merrell sent in a new address of 25 W. 43rd St., N. Y Bronson Tucker reports he is Dist. Mgr. of a cotton co. in New Bedford, Mass Dan Shea and Frank Clahane have been making a real contribution to the Dartmouth Admissions System from LangRobinson (Springfield, 111.):

". . . . am retired from the army and am; trying to make an honest living the hard way—daughter Sally is a freshman at Wellesley, which is the next best thing ,to having a son in Hanover. We hope that Martha, Sally and myself can make the 30th next June, and I'm planning it that way—miss the '18ers in Wash., but still have Gene Clark and Bill Dutelle to call on when I get nostalgia."

All over the land and one in particular from Judge Clarence Opper, comes the tear sheet from Look magazine as of 12/23/47 which lists on the page "Look Applauds" our own distinguished Lester B. Granger, about whom it says:

. he gets his results with personal contacts of key people in leading cities to enlist their cooperation. He also works among Negroes themselves and he urges them to earn their place in industry by training for jobs and doing their own part to promote fair employment practices. What's needed above everything, he once said is a 'driving will to put over ideas' "

One of the great men in the life of Brooklyn, N. Y., died on Dec. 16; Borough President, Lewis H. Pounds, father of our beloved MikePounds, deceased. He gave of himself to the upbuilding of the community and enriched the lives of all who knew his splendid spirit. .... Indeb ted is the class to Al Gottschaldt for the Reunion Roar sent out to everyone in the class last month—and grateful too is the class to Tom Shirley and Eddie Ferguson for the careful planning of our forthcoming June Reunion, our 30th—we have the sworn testimony of Bob Fish that he and Mildred, Bobby, Joanie, and Connie will all trek from Tucson, Arizona, to our reunion only four months away.

We are at the moment looking at '18's 25th Anniversary Record Book so beautifully compiled by Pete Colwell and specifically at the page headed Thomas J. O'Connell, whose family has been and is still making history at Dartmouth. In that completed questionnaire of three years ago are listed six children (Carol Ann, age 20, was in the Waves; Tom E. (19) 2nd Lt. A.C. bombadier; Jesslyn M. 18, a Cadet nurse, Jeffrey 16, Brian 14, Patricia 6. We repeat that this questionnaire was filled out three years ago Where it refers to clubs and hobbies, it states: "Worcester Players Club" and hobbies, "golf, bridge, amateur dramatics." His roommates were Russ Ohnemus, the smiling Irishman, Cap Hartley and to the question "were you an athlete"—he adds "well,—?". We had the privilege of meeting this wonderful family on the campus a few years back. We say "wonderful family" not only because they are just that but because they have made Dartmouth history in that young Tom was president of the freshman class last year, and Jeffrey was president this year. On Dec. 27, the day of the big snow, daughter Carol Ann was married. Commenting to our classmate Tom a year ago, about the son then president of his freshman class, Tom confided as to how since childhood these children had been taught to stand on their feet, enunciate clearly and discuss intelligently a subject of current interest before the assembled family. When you know Mary (Tom's wife), you'll Jknow the man that made this family despite Tom's boasting; but well he might, because it's a wonderful family.

From Al Gustafson—"Al Jr. made the basketball team at Center College, was pledged DKE—daughter Betsy Ann was selected as AllCity goal guard for the second consecutive year, plays on the Ky. Home School Team, private girls' school, Louisville," which reminds us that Al had as his roommates Penn Carolan and our own F. Dusossoit Duke (and change it to simple Duke if you will, we like that vieux Belgique Dusossoit flavor) Bits from the 1918 Roar of Aug. 1, 1919: " '18 had about 70 men back in June; a class meeting election resulted in the following: Pres. StanJones; V.P., Bill Bemis; Sec. Cliff Meredith; Treas. Dusty Rhoades—report of ex-acting Treas. Chandler was- submitted and the class has good financial standing. Class enjoyed a banquet at G.A.R. Hall and saw the first installment on Cassebeer's Pictorial Review. Collection now totals 50 views and flashlights, of the murder of J. Barleycorn 'over the river' last June have already been added to next reunion's collection." In receiving last month, the splendid Reunion Roar, beautifully laid out by Al Gottschaldt, you will see that interesting class slides will be seen at our 30th reunion in June Let us not forget that this is one of the toughest years ever for Dick Holton who again is running the Alumni Fund for the entire college with an objective of $375,000. Let us not forget that Dave Garratt has ably assisted Dick as far as 1918 is concerned. What a wonderful thing it would be if everybody immediately (yes, today) sent their check to Dave Garratt for as large a contribution as they had ever made to the Alumni Fund! Well: a few can hold out to June 30th. Dave's blood pressure couldn't stand up under too great a shock.

Last December, Chet Conlon was visiting Bennie Mugridge and we had the pleasure of talking with Chet on the phone. Chet has lived all over the world and was headed at that time down to Miami and would certainly head up the State during his stay there to see Johnny Thayer in Del Ray Beach—your man if you're looking for a place to stay or a good house to buy in Florida A Merry Christmas covering the American Scene was beautifully done by our own Dusty Rhoades for the American Insurance Group A very pretty and attractive/daughter has Red Wilson in his Judy,, doing so well at the Little Red School- house in N. Y., where we understand Red has been on the Board of Directors and doing a fine job Mary Olive Jones, has enriched her life and the lives of many of "mama's friends" by keeping up correspondence with all the old and lovely dear friends "mama" had while living—a delightful reverence for things past, and a beautiful way to not only keep alive the memory of "mama" but to bring great pleasure into the lives of those lingering elderly people long friends of Mary Olive's family while living in Wash., D. C. Mary Olive and Stanley gave their customary, delightful egg-nog party on Christmas Day. The Earleys had the pleasure of ushering in New Year's Eve as guests of the Stanley Joneses at the University Club (where HaroldGlendenning and Francis Christy are members) and later joining in a faint toot or two at midnight between champagne sips—ah, quelle vie! Stanley, still famed for Gimbel's N. Y. newspapers columnar advertising of years gone by, has been doing a delightful one for Macy's, under the heading of "Exploits of Macy's famous taster."

While thinning blood was leaving '18'ers about the country little defense against the cutting winter blasts, Old Timber Top Shea was basking on the hot sands of Miami, missing no blondes and thinking of no bonds 'lB UP FOR A DELIGHTFUL WEEKEND AT HANOVER IN JUNE ....
