1922

The initial article in a national news service weekly feature called Life in the U. S. A. is a story about the Bob Baldwins, chosen as the typical New England family. To the interviewer Bob acknowledged two big hobbies, his family and his job. He and Elizabeth have the normal desire to see Catherine, 21, and Bob 111, 15, adequately educated and able to care for themselves. Bob's success in his chosen field of insurance is evidence of the thorough manner in which he has pursued his other hobby. Self-reliance is the principle by which Bob has been guided in his own life and is the principle underlying the training of his children. Champions of the American way of life, Bob and Elizabeth consider one of the most significant changes in that way of life since their marriage to be the steady rise in the cost of living, to which many of us will say amen.

Harry Bruckner, Tom Lend, Bill Morrell and Ted Robie were in attendance at the annual meeting of the New Jersey alumni in March.

Bud Winkler has a real salesman in the person of his daughter Gretchen, who, in competition with other debutantes, has just been awarded the top prize for the amount of advertising space sold for the Vincent Show program.

Les Richwagen appeared in my favorite daily paper several times during the recent annual meeting in Boston of the New England Hospital Assembly, of which he is president. Herm and Kay Carlisle, Carter and AllieHoyt, Killy and Betty Kilmarx were among the guests at the Hanover Inn in March.

At Dads' weekend at Kimball Union Academy in February I found Clif Akey visiting his son John and Bob Dewey visiting Bob, Jr. Fathers of Dartmouth freshmen were invited to Hanover for that same weekend and I had hoped to be able to run up there for a short look around to see which 1922 dads were attending but the KUA program was much too full for any such excursion.

A copy of The Economist, covering the 38th Annual Convention of the Investment Bankers Association held last December at Hollywood, Fla., clearly indicates that Jack Blunt was in attendance for the badge and ribbon showed on his lapel in one of the pictures of Jack it carried.

December was a momentous month for Spic and Mildred Saunders, for it was the occasion for both their children to embark upon the sea of matrimony. Ken, Dartmouth '4B, was married on the 10th and Ann on the 17th. It is one big Dartmouth family now as Ann's husband is a senior at Hanover and the son of Wallace Kimball '23. Curtis and Ann are living near the campus while he completes his college career.

The newspaper coverage of the case was so broad and thorough that probably it will be news to practically no one to read here that Bob Booth was a defense counsel in the trial of Dr. Sander. Bob figured prominently in the preparation of the case.

Ralph Totman, presently domiciled in Blairstown, N. J., expects to move soon to Alaska. Tottie is judge advocate in the Air Force.

At the Alumni Fund kick-off dinner in Boston on March 29, Gray Bates and your servant were present and in attendance throughout. About half-way through the after-dinner speaking program Andy Marshall crept in through a rear entrance. Weather conditions had caused the late arrival of his plane.

The Alumni Fund is vital to the College. Support it generously.
