1922
With the air full of politics, I will start these notes with a couple of timely items. Turn to page 24 of the September 27 issue of Time for a picture of Will Nicholson and a news item of his astounding political success. Without previous experience in the art of seeking public office, Will confounded the experts by taking from a formidable opponent the Republican nomination for U. S. Senator from Colorado. It seems safe to assure Will that his fortunes in the general election will be followed with intense interest within the Class. From an August issue o£ the Newport (N. H.) Argus-Champion one learns that, in his quest for the job of Governor of New Hampshire, Sherm Adams '20 has "quiet, cultured" (those were the very words) Attorney John P. Carleton as his chief campaign aide. Incidentally, John recently was elected Alumni Representative on the Dartmouth Outing Club Board of Trustees, an office which there is every reason to believe he will fill in a quiet, cultured manner.
The award of merit of the American Hospital Association was bestowed upon Jim Hamilton in September. This honor came to Jim, one time president of the Association, upon the occasion of its fiftieth anniversary convention.
October 9 has been set as the date for the wedding of Jill Taylor and John Heath in . Glencoe, 111. (That is in the future as these notes are written but will be in the past as they are read.) Those of us who attended the 25th Reunion remember Jill, the attractive daughter of Jack Taylor.
One of the trade papers speaks well of a new price list issued by Canfield Paper Cos. on which Chuck used "Dartmouth green" the cover.
Instead of a junior year here, Frank Hotchkiss is attending the University of Zurich, Switzerland, but will return for senior year at Dartmouth next September. After an NROTC cruise to Pearl Harbor last summer, the twins, Jim and Gene, are back in Hanover for junior year. Gene, the old gentleman, looks with favor upon the fine scholastic records his boys are making.
I was terribly sorry, as I know you will be, to learn that Spic Saunders has had a rough time with an arthritic condition. After a siege in the hospital he has returned to his home where he manages to conduct his business over the telephone. Incidentally, his home address is 432 South Crescent Street, Park Ridge, Ill.
Bill and Isabel Pierce have abandoned Highland Park to take up residence in Tucson, Ariz.
Nig Hayes takes considerable pride in his status as grandfather. He has three grandsons, two of whom are twins born a year ago September. A world of scheming is going to be required of Nig to get the boys to Dartmouth. Their dads are Oklahoma University products.
Ted Robie is exultant over the realization of a plan he long has had in his mind. He has acquired the backing and facilities of the Orange (N. J.) Memorial Hospital for giving his therapy treatments on an out-patient basis to psychiatric cases that do not require hospitalization. Ted has been consulting psychiatrist at that hospital for many years.
Zeke Shoup reports from Wichita that he and Adelaide have Verner Jr., age 7, Francis E., age 5, and Merrill E. 11, age 2. What it takes to clothe, feed and house the brood is nothing to be sneezed at in Zeke's opinion.
Charlie Hart is Assistant Export Manager for American Optical Company which would seem to be enough to keep him busy but Charlie finds time to carry on outside as president or the local Community Chest, vicechairman of the Democratic Town Committee, chairman of the Advisory Committee of the Cole Trade High School, and director of the Taxpayers' Association. Charlie Jr. is in his junior year at Dartmouth, Betty Lou is in high school and Kappy is in elementary school where she leads the cheering. Not to be outdone, Genevieve is an active officer in the Parent-Teacher Assn.
Last May I had a nice visit with Herb West in Hanover. The year of rest after his upset had done him a world of good. He looked hale and hearty and was enthusiastic about his painting, a hobby he pursued during convalescense. Herb complains that his doctor won't let him play tennis any more.
Don't treat lightly that bill for the current dues you received a while ago from Carroll. A healthy condition of the treasury is much to be desired. Dues are our only sources of revenue.
I regret the need to record the death of Lloyd Flagg. He passed away July 13 at his home in Buffalo. His obituary will appear in the necrology section of this or a later issue.
Secretary-Chairman, 38 Newbury Street, Boston 16, Mass.
Treasurer, 111 Laurel Road, Chesnut Hill 67, Mass.
