1922

By the time these notes reach you in published form, the 1948 Alumni Fund will have been launched and well under way. Of course, Stan Miner will master mind our part in the campaign but don't overlook the importance of the services that will be rendered by these assistant agents: Howie Almon, Harry Bruckner, Bob Clark, Ted Davidson, Rog Eastman,Louis Gluek, Nig Hayes, Harvey Moses, GeorgeStanley, Stew Steams, Charlie Throop, PatTobin, Bob Turnbull and Dick Willis. The assistant agents are strategically placed to cover the field efficiently. We can make their work lighter by contributing early. We can give Stan and his co-workers pleasure and satisfaction, the only compensation accruing to these jobs, by contributing liberally. Let's make this the year in which 1922 goes over the top early and impressively!

Hugh Kilmer is top man of the Storm Trysail Club. Hugh, whose home is in New Rochelle, N. Y., was elected commodore of that blue-water racing and cruising organization at its annual meeting in February.

Jim Cravens, our lone represenlative in Texas, chose insurance as his field upon leaving college and has been away from that field only once and then to serve in the Air Corps during the war. Jim dreams of a trip some time soon to show Hanover and its surroundings to Mrs. Cravens and their three children.

Haskell Cohn has written an article on the subject of "Gifts of Life Insurance Policies," which was published in the February issue of Taxes. It is an article of particular interest to those engaged in the field of estate taxes.

Announcement has been made of the en- gagement of Miss Dorothy Kaiser to FrankHutchins. Miss Kaiser is a graduate of Katherine Gibbs School and a resident of New York.

I enjoyed a short but pleasant visit with Jim and Sally Hamilton one day in February. They made a brief stop in Boston on their way to Hanover where Jim was scheduled for his annual lecture at Tuck School. Jim has an understandable enthusiasm for his work as a consultant in hospital administration, a field in which he has become a real authority. In addition to consulting, he conducts a course at the University of Minnesota.

Roy Ball was in Boston in February for a weekend with his daughters who are in schools nearby. Unfortunately, I was away at the time and missed receiving his 'phone call and the possibility of a visit with him.

Herm Carlisle and Spenny Smith attended the recent hardware convention in Boston. Their time was so taken up there was no opportunity to see them. I knew they were here, because Kay and Marje called at this office one noon when, unfortunately, I was out to lunch. I felt flattered until 1 realized that the primary object of their visit was to see my associate who is Marje's brother. Spenny and Marje were guests at the Hanover Inn in January.

Jim Maze reports that daughter Martha is engaged in ministering to the mentally ill in Hartford, Connecticut, as a visiting nurse and that ' daughter Fannie is attending Oberlin College. Jim is gradually losing his hair worrying about getting enough material to make enough nails to fill his orders.

Les Wagner's son David, after discharge from the Navy, has returned to complete his work at University of Michigan toward the master's degree in History he will receive in June. He is an ambitious lad and will work for a doctorate before entering upon a career as a pedagogue.

After finishing at University of Illinois, Jean McCasky married an alumnus of that institution and last Christmastime made the RalphMcCaskeys proud grandparents. Ralph has a son, Roddie, who is a junior at New Trier and a basketball player.

Ralph Hinners can boast of two sons in the musical clubs. Gordon is a soloist and George a pianist.

As reported in a previous issue, Larry Henderson is domiciled in Phoenix, Arizona. Larry Jr. is in his second year at the University of Arizona.

Their daughter having picked December 20 for her wedding date, Ted and Edith Davidson had more things to do than just Christmas shopping in early December. Les and NancyWagner were present at the ceremony. Ted Davidson Jr. is in his first year at Hanover.

On the evening of February 6, the Chicago Alumni had their annual dinner at the University Club with John Dickey and Tuss McLaughry as guest speakers. Thanks to a good letter from Ted Davidson, I learned that 1922 was represented by Ted and Edith Davidson, Harry and Mary Griswold, Ralph and Catherine Hinners, Gene and JeannetteHotchkiss, Ralph and Elizabeth McCaskey,Jim Maze, Spic and Mildred Saunders, LesWagner. There will be another chance for a get-together of the Chicago brethren on April 3, when the Musical Clubs are scheduled for a concert.

Andy Marshall and Cecil Goldbeck are working together on the 25th Reunion Book. It seems to them, as it seems to me, that we need material from more classmates before publishing the book. Before you read these notes you will have received a follow-up communication from Andy and Cecil. Please supply the requested information if you failed to furnish it as a result of mailings made by Cecil last year. It will take such a little time on your part and mean so much to the success of the book.
