1920
Class Agent, ALLEN R. FOLEY Box 315, Hanover, N. H.
The New Year is upon us. May it be a happy one for all members of the Class of 1920! Here in Blind Brook Lodge we were favored (dubious word) with a white Christmas; now 1949 starts off whiter still. Christmas greetings, much appreciated, came drifting in with the snow from Gerry Baron, Adie Stern, Dick Kimball, the Leo Ungars, the A1 Freys, the Don MacKays, the Sherry Baketels, the A1 Cates, the Ray McPartlins, the Stan Newcomers, the Sherm Adamses, the Fred Hamms, the Roc Elliotts, the Gerry Stones, the Paul Richters and the Bill Carters. Additional festive note: Cards also found their way to the Pearson domicile from the one-time Janet Frey and the erstwhile Marian Adams, now Mrs. Harte and Mrs. Freese respectively.^
Al Frey, when heard from, Was on his way, if he could find a plane that would fly, to see how the young folks were getting on in Kansas City. Stan Newcomer and Grace had done their holiday traveling around Thanksgiving time, whipping into New York for their semiannual round of the theatres. Stan must have gone home full of pep, because he forthwith tackled the Memorial Fund problem with renewed vigor, reminding us all—as we quite properly should be reminded—that we have both responsibilities and opportunities in that quarter. Roc Elliott, best of all class treasurers, has a claim of his own on our billfold, if not our bank account, in order that class dues receipts may cover the increased cost of our group subscription to the MAGAZINE. ROC is gratified by the promptness with which many Twenties pay their bills; would welcome, from others, their contributions to the class till. It's never too late, gentlemen.
Careful students of the November issue of the MAGAZINE doubtless dug out the news that five sons of 1920 won admission to the class of 1952 and buckled down to business last fall. We've previously reported the good word on that score received from Tom Dudley about his son Thomas Minot Jr. More recently we've been rounding up what dope we could on the others from their properly proud poppas. Bing Whitaker's boy, another Junior who answers to the call of "Whit", is getting along fine, busy already on the Jacko art staff. Bing himself, active in the Charles River alumni group, has seen something lately of GeorgeMacomber, Johnny Moore and Chet Wiley.
The last of the above, Chet, is another with a son in the freshman class. Events leading up to the admission of the younger Chet Wiley made up quite an interesting sequence. He had been captain of the state champion track team at Newton (Mass.) High School way back before our 25th Reunion. Immediately upon his graduation he signed up with the Army Air Corps, joined the Regular Army at the war's end and spent a year as a weather observer on Okinawa. Then came the question of Dartmouth. Failing to make it on his first, try, young Chet "didn't bat an eyelash" (in the words of his father), but put in a fine scholastic year at Tabor Academy and on the strength of that won his place in the class of '52. Previously unreported are the two grandchildren of our Chet, a son Dick Jr. and a daughter Susan, born to Chet's daughter Audrey, who is Mrs. Richard Hart.
Eastern Mass. certainly had the lion's share of this freshman quintet, inasmuch as TudorBradley sent his boy Nicholas to Hanover from Taunton, Mass. Previously the elder brother Tudor Jr., who served in the Pacific as quartermaster aboard an L.S.T., had come back from the war and reentered University of Maine where he is now a senior. Younger brother Nick, building up a fine scholastic record at Taunton High, polished off his extra-curricular career by becoming commanding officer of the high school Cadet Corps. Tudor Sr. makes his living as manager of the Massachusetts Division of Employment Security, serves as a director of the Taunton Community Chest and also as a director of Family Service Inc. Mrs. Bradley (Jessie), a mite lonesome with both the boys away, has resumed her old profession of schoolteaching, which she finds as congenial as ever.
Pending receipt of direct word from TedFellowes about his son, Ted Jr., we note that the lad won his numerals as a 175-pound center on the freshman squad.
Now let's take a look around the entering class up at Sam Stratton's Middlebury College. Besides Bill Fuguet's daughter, whose admission was recorded in an earlier issue, the Middlebury '52 roster includes David Page, George's boy, the third of the NathanielHenry Whitesid.es, Priscilla Anna Kay, daughter of Paul, and Nancy Jane McAllaster, whose father John supplied these gleanings from the official college handbook. Anybody putting two and two together might also conclude that the Middlebury sophomore, William John Tracy of Bristol, Conn., is almost certainly the son of William E., Dartmouth 1920.
Paul Kay is very happy indeed about his youngest daughter's admission to Middlebury. She likes it very much, and he likes it because she does. Paul is as busy as ever with his Port Chester, N. Y., insurance business, which takes him through Rye two or three times a day on his way back and forth from home to office. He is president this year of the Port Chester Rotary Club and is giving an advanced course in insurance at Sarah Lawrence College. We have still another "advanced" lecturer in the Class, incidentally. Charlie McGoughran, who in 1947 lectured to Harvard students at the time of the annual fall fracas, did his stuff for the faculty of the Harvard Business School when hostilities were renewed late in October, 1948. Or so rumor has it, in any event.
The Class has fine representation among the chairmen of alumni interviewing committees, who are doing such a grand job from year to year maintaining the quality of the Dartmouth undergraduate body. Serving as chairmen in their respective regions this year are Tudor Bradley, Paul Canada, A1 Cate, Tom Davidson, Clint Johnson, Dick Kimball, Dick Welch and Abe Winslow. Many others in the Class, of course, are putting in an almost equal amount of time as part of the personnel over which the chairmen preside. And Sherry Baketel has really taken on an extra-heavy load, serving as Alumni Councilor for the interviewing committees of the entire Eastern Pennsylvania-Southern New Jersey region.
Raise the 50th Birthday flag this month for the following: El Cheney on the 10th; TedMarden on the 15th; Stan Conway, on the 20th; and Charlie Cheadle on the 22d. Charlie has moved from his long-time haunts in northern Illinois and is now fruit farming in Rosati, Missouri.
Finally, a little girl who deserves a big hand this month is Robin Pearson, who bought her aging spouse the brand new Quiet Deluxe portable on which these notes are being typed. No matter how they sound, they look better than they ever did before.
