1922

Elsewhere you will read of the grand success of the 1948 Alumni Fund campaign. As members of the Dartmouth family we can take pride in the overall accomplishment and as members of the Class of 1922 we can take pride and satisfaction in the particular results produced by Stan Miner and his staff of able assistants. In landing our class fourteenth in the ranking based upon percentage of objective, Stan & Cos. elevated us to a place of distinction. Many hours were spent in planning and carrying out the campaign which turned out so successfully. Certainly, Stan and his boys are due thanks from the rest of us for the good services that placed the class in such an enviable niche in the records.

Surely one of the particular advantages of holding class office is the opportunity to be present at the annual class officers' weekend in Hanover. The 1948 class officers' meetings were held May 14 and 15. Carroll and Nan Dwight,Odie Lee and I were housed at the Norwich Inn. We had hoped to be joined by Stan andCatherine Miner but the new deal with his employers which made Stan Supervisor of Employment for the New York Telephone Com- pany interfered to prevent them from coming. Your correspondent attended the Friday afternoon session for Memorial Fund Chairmen. We were joined by the ladies for cocktails and the informal dinner at the Inn on Friday evening, following which, Carroll attended the session for Class Treasurers while I attended that for Class Secretaries. Together we attended the joint meeting Saturday morning and with Oley Olsen were present at the joint dinner Saturday evening after which we joined the ladies for a pleasant visit with Oley and Elspeth at their home. It was a full schedule and left little time for mischief but it was a thoroughly worthwhile and enjoyable weekend. So that we could prove that the class was represented, Carroll and I made certain that our faces appeared in the group picture.

During the summer, the following from our ranks made it back to Hanover and sought shelter at the Inn: Haskell and Harriet Cohn with daughters Marjorie and Susan; Normand Marian Crane; Doc and Joan Pullen.

Tony Hanlon should not find time hanging heavily on his hands. Besides presiding as Justice of the Berkshire County Probate Court, he recently was elected a member of the board of trustees of the W. B. Plunkett Memorial Hospital and served as chairman of the 1948 Red Cross Fund campaign for his native Adams, Massachusetts.

George Weed has retired from his duties as director of athletics at the Peddie School to devote his time principally to teaching in the mathematics department, although he will continue to coach track and cross-country.

Bill Shirley reports with pardonable pride that son Wayne is making an excellant scholastic record at Hackley School in Tarrytown, N. Y.

Ike Miller is on the prowl. He returned from Europe in April for a brief breathing spell before departing for Hawaii, Japan and Alaska. Ike has to do with cost control for the U. S. Air Force. His family welcomes him home from his travels at Alexandria, Va.

At his home in Pittsfield, Vermont, WinRanney is recuperating from a heart upset. It is that ailment, the remedy for which is rest aplenty. Win has to remain in bed for six weeks or so and stay away from his teaching duties for a year.

A few weeks ago Jack Hardy dropped in on me at the office for a short visit. He is a member of the board of directors of St. Croix Paper Cos. and was in Boston to attend the meeting. His second son, Dan, finished at Exeter and will enter Haverford College this fall.

Louis Gluek Jr. starts on his senior year at Dartmouth and his first year in Tuck School this fall. He and his brother, Bud, spent the summer in Europe while the old gentleman stuck by his vats.

Steve Kenyon flew to London and back recently in the interests of an advertising client. His camera shots of the crown jewels seemed to irritate the guards standing by. Prominent signs forbidding pictures had failed to impress our amateur photographer, possibly because they were printed in English. Incidentally, Steve retained the pictures.

Dick Wood points out that the March issue of Minnesota History lists Gay lord Anderson as a member of the Advisory Committee for the Minnesota Public Health Project. He will serve well for Andy is an authority in the field of public health.

Again as I face the task of furnishing notes for nine issues of the ALUMNI MAGAZINE during the current academic year, I deputize each one of you a news gatherer.

Not enough subscriptions have come in yet to warrant sending the 25th Year Book to press. I hope this will remind some to send a check for $10 to Carroll Dwight. I think we will regret it if this project is not carried out.
