1919
First call for the 1950 Alumni Fund—you are all familiar with its importance to the College, and with the fact that Dartmouth, as you and I knew it, simply cannot operate in these days of rising costs all along the line, without the all-important support of the Alumni. A suggestion to make things simpler for Rock Hayes and his hard-working assistant agents—give him an indication or a pledge EARLY, NOW, of what you intend to give, even if you can't send in the money at once, and get the check in by June 30. Also, dig up one '19er who hasn't contributed lately and get him to send in something,—as Rock has told you, we can easily walk off with top honors in our group (1917-1925) if we can get a few more classmates to kick in. And don't forget that a memorial gift to a departed classmate is not only a splendid gesture, which keeps his name alive on the roster of the class, but helps in the over-all class standing.
Paul (Champ) Clements, Harry Hillman's greatest downhill runner, sends a card from Sarasota, Fla., indicating that he and Adelaide have moved to the South for an indefinite period.
A rather belated report from another of the'19 doctors indicates that E. Willis Hainlenis now in Utica, N. Y., as Acting Director ofthe Broadacres Sanitarium, as of last July.Quoting,
"Got a regular Chamber of Commerce welcome from Jim Capps, Utica's number one Civic booster, since when I've been privileged to see frequent newspaper shots of him dedicating airports, welcoming dignitaries, and such We had a Dartmouth night at the 'Mohawk Tribe of the Dartmouth Nation' where we heard Capt. Price Lewis' description of the cruise of the 'Morning Star' which, by the way, is good entertainment for any Dartmouth conclave. Dropped in on Frank Pedlow at Albany, whom I hadn't seen since 1917, and found him absent from his office trying to separate incompatible couples. I asked his secretary if his red hair had turned to gray, but she told me—with giggles—he hadn't any. Al Googins stepped on my toes at the Colgate game, in an effort to get near Bob Lewis, who was sitting near me—in alphabetical order as of yore—only this time by arrangement of Professor McCarterThanks, Willis for your report and the bestof good fortune in your new job.
That champion class secretary, Ernie Earley of the old class of 1918, somehow has time to keep tabs on a few '19ers and notes that Eddie and Eleanor Heydt enjoyed a wonderful drive through Mexico during January and February and had a marvelous time seeing all the sights. Ernie also saw Teto Webster ('19 s newest papa) recently and believe he is correct when he states that Teto is the only member of our class who has the Daily Dartmouth bound and preserved of the four years we were in college (some of us didn't quite make four years). It should be a most intersting record of 1915-1919.
Recent visitors in Hanover include Nickand Dot Sandoe, the Howie Coles, Jock andEdna Murray, Bill and Doris Cunningham and John Chipman—a. mid-winter visit to Hanover is strongly recommended to all of you, even if you can't ski, if you ever could.
Late last year Art Stackpole transferred his business from the Boston Office of Will, Folsom & Smith to New York and is now located at 25 West 43rd Street. Art's organization specializes in public relations work and fund raising for hospitals and he is currently engaged as director of news and radio publicity for branch and field offices.
A delayed acknowledgement to Bill Hoard, publisher of Hoard's Dairyman, Fort Atkinson, Wis. for his nice letter and his appreciation of the Class Birthday card. Bill hopes to attend more 1919 gatherings in the future —how about Ann Arbor next October 7!
The Treat Distributing Co., Los Angeles (Ballantine Ale & Beer) is, of course, operated by San and he and son Sandy are having a lot of fun working around the clock building up the business. It would seem as though San had picked the right climate for Ballan tine's.
The eminent Pittsburgh merchant SamEwart also enjoyed hearing from the class via the birthday cards and writes further,
"I am now 52 and feel about 32??? My hair is totally white and I certainly look much more like a banker than a department store laborer. Currently, as you know, I am Department Manager and Buyer of the Men's Clothing Department at the Joseph Home Co. It is a good business, as businesses go, but you can get just as many stomach ulcers here, as in your business."
Class daughters—Bill White's entered Skidmore and John Chipman's is attending Middlebury.
The picture of the 1919 freshman football squad appearing in this issue came from Greif Raible (pardon the misspelling of your name, Greif, in the March issue, it wasn't the Secretary's doing) via Tom Bresnahan. Any of you who have pictures of the 1915-16 era or later, for that matter, please send them in for future printing in the MAGAZINE— they will surely be returned to you.
The annual father and son get-together was held over the weekend of February 25 and was adjudged a success by all. The highlight was a luncheon on Saturday at the Dartmouth Outing Club house, run by MaxNorton and emceed by Bill McCarter. Stearns Morse, Dean of Freshmen, spoke informally, and informality was the theme of both the luncheon and the weekend—just an opportunity for the old man and son to see each other (plenty of the mothers were in Hanover also and they were most welcome). It was at a time when Hanover was having its first real winter—lots of snow and very cold— a real old-fashioned winter setting. In attendance were Carl Cavanaugh with Jim, Dan Featherston and Dan Jr., Max and JohnNorton, Ray Adams with Forrest R. Jr., WinBatchelder and David, Jim and Robert Capps,Paul Halloran with Dick and David, HowieWright and Alan, Maurice Hall with Danforth and Richard, Ray Hinds and Ray Jr., Jack McCrillis with Jack Jr. (the latter remarked, "Do all '19ers still have their hair?" He should see Bird, Munro, White, Jackson and other members of the skin-head club), Dr. Dennie Sullivan with Edmond and a younger son Basil, Nock Wallis and Samuel, Chet Caswell with Chester Jr. and HerbFleming with Richard. Other class sons attending were Bob Pilsbury, Murray Hawkins Jr. Clinton and Robert Mauk, William Davis and Dr. Donald Cole. Ken Huntington, who ran the affair and did all the preliminary work, was in town, and rates a big hand for the successful afEair. Spider Martin likewise checked in and a surprise and welcome weekend visitor at the Inn was Fred Celce with Ginny. Fred Jr. was at the Hanover Ski School and his proud parents came up from Holyoke to see how he was making out. A late arrival was Cotty Larmon who couldn't make the luncheon but stopped in later.
Give early to the Alumni Fund, give as much as you can afford, but, above all, give something.
