Class Agent, roger c. Wilde 1870 Merchandise Mart, Chicago 54, Ill.
George Chandler Cavis left the Class on December 14, for "that undiscovered country, from whose bourne no traveler returns." Services were at the Church of the Good Shepherd in Waban on the 17th. The large attendance was a tribute to the affection and respect of his friends and neighbors. Our Class was represented by Bill Fowler, WaltLundegren, Reg Miner, Don Morse, TomNorcross, Bill Perry, Hubert Ripley, DanRuggles, Chan Symmes and Tom Cleveland. Chan had been in the investment business in Boston. He and his wife Jean, with their son George Chandler Jr., made their home in Waban for many years. During the war, Chan and Jean gave liberally of their musical talents for the patients at Cushing General Hospital in Framingham. "Froggie" had been at home during the summer and fall under a doctor's care, but his passing was sudden and unexpected. He and Jean were regulars at Class functions around Boston and his keen humor and never failing good fellowship were always bright spots at those gatherings. We extend to Jean and Tad the sincere sympathy of the entire Class. "Froggie" was a little fellow with a big heart, who created a great deal of happiness for everyone with whom he came in contact during his far too short span of life. He will be long remembered and very much missed in the Class.
We are always picking up bits of information about Classmates which we should have known. Rog Wilde sends in a clipping from the December issue of Hotel Bulletin which shows a cut of our Bill Marcy chatting with two other dignitaries. Bill is described as a member of the Hotel Statler Corporation's Board of Directors.
Werner Janssen, we learn from a full page in the Oregon Journal, is a casual, woodchopping, yoghurt loving gent. For Yoghurt fanciers, here is his recipe, "Pour an ounce of culture (on sale at health stores) into a quart of whole milk in a Mason jar. Fill another jar with warm water and roll the two tightly in woolen blankets. After six hours of fermentation, the milk culture will be semi-solid. Then cool in the ice box." Sounds something like the buttermilk" we made for over 20 years from a Bulgarian culture Charlie Stearns, our freshman English Prof, brought back from abroad before World War I. We lost it one winter night when it froze in the refrigerator. Werner, strangely enough, likes it with prunes and so did we.
There is quite a delegation of '21ers plaving key roles in the interviewing of candidates for admission to Dartmouth. Mick Shoup is Alumni Councillor for the entire region of Wyoming, Utah, Colorado and New Mexico. Don Mix has the western Massachusetts region as Councillor. Other Classmates who are Chairmen of Interviewing Committees include Dan Ruggles, Bob McConaughy, FreddyFrcderiksen, Harry Chamberlaine, HerrickBrown, Clarence Sanders, Ed Halsey, ChuckMoreau, Maurie Cole, "CD" Bassett, BillPerry and Bill Alurray. Many others are also serving on the Committees which these and other Dartmouth men are heading up. It's an important chore and one which the College deeply appreciates.
Cliff Hart, A.1.A., our New York correspondent, reported on the very unique and enjoy- able party in the big city on November igth. Doug Storer, a globe trotter in his own right, acted as host to the '21 gang at a cocktail party in "Believe-It-or-Not" Ripley's Central Park West duplex. Secretary of the Navy JohnSullivan was guest of honor in the environment of Chinese trophies, gongs and pagodas .... Ripley's famous collection .... which covered the walls, floors and ceilings. Chinese boys in mandarin coats were everywhere, serving cocktails and hors d'oeuvres to the prePrinceton celebrants. Moving on to the Dartmouth Club, the crowd was joined by EddieEgan, Chairman of the New York Boxing Commission, Gene Tunney and Dr. Dixie Fish (Boxing Commission M.D.). There also, were Prexy Tom Cleveland and Dan Ruggles of the Boston Lodge. Cliff Hart acted as toastmaster and introduced the speakers. JohnnieSullivan presented a very interesting postelection survey, in a manner calculated to appeal to the "good loser" majority of his audience, couched in the lucid and flowing rhetoric which won him the Mayoralty of Hanover in 1921. Tom dusted off his best and most sincere you-boys-did-it speech when referring to the great Green Derby victory of last June. Classmates present or eventually accounted for included Ort Hicks, Gus Perkins, RexKing, Coot Carder, Borden Helmer, Abe Weld,John Sullivan, Jack Hubbell, Ed Luedke, DavePlume, Bob Loeb, Larry Nardi, Homer Cleary,Leigh Tracy, Doug Storer, Hoy Schulting,Ralph Steiner, Carl Sullivan, Dan Patch, RedKarlin, Cliff Hart, Tom Cleveland, Dan Ruggles and Ernie Wilcox. Guests, Eddie Egan, Dr. Fish, Gene Tunney, Jeff Hart '51 and Albie Collins *52. The Princeton game next day was a completely satisfactory climax which was almost hysterically enjoyed by one and all. Seen at Palmer Stadium were Tracy and Leigh Higgins, and Tracy Jr., the SkinnyMoores, the entire Kent McKinley family just in from Florida, and Dr. Neil Forbes, prominent Astoria, L. I. obstetrician, whom we see far too seldom because of his confining duties (no pun). A card from Floyd Wilson brings the news that he has been living in California for some time at 411 W.B. St., Ontario, Calif. Elmer Gardner has moved to 22nd and Irvine, Costa Mesa, Calif. Bob Mac Donald's new address is 2519 Ridgeway, Evanston, Ill.
Greater New York Classmates and visiting firemen note this date and time—Saturday, February 26, five o'clock at the Dartmouth Club of New York—Homer Cleary at the piano, Dartmouth movies and the famous '21 quartet. Cliff Hart again is in charge of arrangements, with a distinguished committee of classmates and their wives. You can't afford to miss it.... and don't forget to bring the little woman.
