1920
You may congratulate Dick Wellington, when he attains the age of 50 on December 3; Eric Hauser for the same accomplishment on the 9th; and Ed Curtis on the 24th.
Class Agent Al Foley was plumb in the center of Dartmouth and Twenty affairs for three days running, October 14, 15, 16. In New York on College business, he communed informally with the following brethren in his room at the Biltmore and at the Dartmouth Club the evening of the 14th: Paul Canada,John Felli, Beardsley Foster, Bill Fuguet, PhilGross, and Dick Pearson. The next night Al did a job with his customary flair at the Dartmouth Night ceremonies in Gotham; then caught the night flier back to Hanover so as to play host on his Connecticut River bluff to such Twenties as could find his hideaway after that Saturday's game with Colgate.
We wormed a smattering of news out of some of the boys in the Biltmore. Bill Fuguet must have made a smashing success of his last spring's confab with Sam Stratton, because daughter Cynthia is now officially enrolled in the freshman class at Middlebury College. Meanwhile Bill has hit to all fields in another league, with an honorable mention from the Photographic Society of America in the International Color-Slide Competition and a first prize in the Canadian International Competition. John Felli's daughter No. i, Jeanne, was married last spring; daughter No. 2, Nancy, is attending Scudder School.
When the clans gathered at the Foley establishment in Norwich, roll call found the following present: Betty and Sherry Baketel (with their usual entourage of attractive hangers-on), Paul Canada and Miss Dorothy Wilson of Bronxville, Dolly and Roc Elliott,Marian and Beardsley Foster, Ann and Altrey, Dorothy and Freddy Hamm, FrankMoulton, Doris and Norm Richardson, Robinand Dick Pearson, Dorothy and Harry Sampson. Statistics on Paul Canada show girth reduction from 212 to 188 pounds between June 12 and October 16. A throw-your-hat-at-it poll conducted in 30 seconds by this correspondent has revealed that an impressive proportion of the Class married gals named Dorothy.
New Grandpa: Norm Richardson, whose son Carl has a daughter Mary Elizabeth, six months old. Having put in his time at Harvard, Carl is now doing a good job of farming up in Gilford, N. H., where old man Norm, conveniently nearby, lends a helping hand once in a while.
Fred Hamm may be seen in the East more frequently than heretofore, now that his daughter Shirley is enrolled in Bennett Junior College in Millbrook, N. Y. Fred has dissolved his Blakely Printing Company, but is staying with the industry and will represent the Inland Press of Chicago in a sales capacity. On their way back from Hanover, he and Dorothy "holed up" for a week at Castle Park, Mich., and worked off part of that vacation credit that they've been accumulating for too long a time Sherry Baketel, after putting the Canaan place under wraps for the winter, stopped off for a look at Ginger Bruce on his way south. He found the old second baseman fractured in a frightful number of places as a result of his automobile accident, but still grinning the broadest grin in the Class of 1920 and planning how and when he will resume his usual activities.
Louise Pope, daughter of Roger and Marjorie, was married October 2 in the First Church, Congregational, Swampscott, Mass., to Richard Hood Southwick, son of Dick and Martha Bill Carter fills in a few details about daughter Kitty's new husband. The lad, Douglas Stevenson, is a member of .the Class 1949 at Dartmouth. He was a B-24 pilot during the war, with many missions over Germany as a part of his experience. A New York City fellow, his present home (and Kitty's) is in the somewhat less imposing but none the less congenial Wigwam Circle.
Professor J. Almus Russell of the Bloomsburg (Pa.) State Teachers College is listed in Roger Butterfield's recent book The American Past, A History of the United States from Concord to Hiroshima, 1775-1945, as one of the several authorities to furnish information, pictures, and assistance in the preparation of the volume. As handsome a picture book as comes along in many a long day, Almus may well be proud of his contribution to its success.
A systematic—and apparently influentialcitizen of Rutland, Vt., is our own John Hill. His home telephone number is 10, his business phone 1010, and his home address (new), 100 A North Main Street. Just to really polish off his numerical achievements, he captured 1920 for the number plate of his car, and that he is really proud of. He drove the car to Hanover for the Colgate game, planned another trip over the mountain to see what the Green could do about Columbia, and got down to Boston for the Harvard game between times. John's daughter Virginia was married on October a.
Adie Stern's boy, Edwin Jr., is getting a big belt out of his freshman year at Lehigh, while sister Patricia "finishes" not so far away, at the Baldwin School in Bryn Mawr. These arrangements made it easy and natural for Adie to join the kids for the season's first look at the football team, when the Green played Penn in Philadelphia Barbara Murray, one of the prettiest faces discovered at the Macmillan Company, left the organization on October 2 to be married. She is a niece of 1920's George Page and is fully conversant with the old boy's leisurely life up in Bellows Falls, Vt "Artists Look at Pennsylvania," an article in the National Geographic for last July, contains four handsome plates which are the work of Paul Sample. "For a year and a half," says the accompanying text, "fourteen of America's leading artists roamed the Keystone State, studying its industries, scenic beauties, folkways and historic monuments. The composite result is an objective, full length portrait of Pennsylvania." .... JohnnySunderland's boy, Jim, who went to Carleton College in Minnesota a year ago, so as not to stray too far from his Nebraska home, first looked the situation over in the East. He had two preparatory years at Lawrenceville School.
If we have our military record straight, 1920 still has five men serving with the armed forces, the Army leading the Navy, 3-2. The West Pointer of- the lot is Col. Charlie Cowles, who until this month was on our roster as a Lieut.-Colonel, and who is now located at Fort Benjamin Harrison in Indianapolis. Lieut-Col. Charlie Mills is to be found in New York, and Major Les Patterson at last accounts was in North Carolina. By the law of averages, Captain Jake Gorton, naval aviator, should be about set for his annual move, but there has been no word of transfer from his Pentagon headquarters or his Arlington, Va., home. Commander Eddie Taylor, physician, U.S.N., can be reached at the San Francisco Naval Shipyard, although his home address remains in Long Beach, California.
All of us want to improve our Alumni Fund showing in 1949. Won't you send Al Foley your ideas on what to do and how to do it?
