1918

Isn't this nice—a scribbled note we discovered from Stumpie Barr to King Rood's Peggy "We appreciated your payment of class dues and your contribution to the Alumni Fund last year and hope that you will wish to continue to be regarded as a regular member of the class." Reply ... "Thank you so much, I'm proud to be included in the '18 rosterChris '55 seems to be turning into another loyal Dartmouthite." ... Remember Dick Woolworth's Dad who came to our last reunion? He was Dick's Dad—and was such a devoted Dartmouthite and a great benefactor to The College. Mrs. Woolworth writes Stumpie Barr, "I'm enclosing my check for $10 for two years for the ALUMNI MAG. on which was your note telling me that I am now regarded as an honorary member—l am deeply touched and assure you I feel honored. As you know, Mr. Woolworth was so interested in the class of 1918 and derived such pleasure from the association with '18 men with whom he came in contact. I like to think I can best honor Mr. Woolworth's memory by continuing in the same manner, if not as substantially."

Be sure to look up Johnny Thayer when you go to Delray Beach—just a mashie shot from the beach on the main drag to town and he's with R. Bruce Puckett, 1210 E. Atlantic Ave., Delray Beach. Then when you're in Stuart, Fla., be sure to look up OttoKubin the realtor, and as you read this Marge and Phil Boynton are looking ahead another 8 to 10 weeks when they'll start driving to N. Y. to stay with the Glovers or other friends, driving then to Fla. to enjoy themselves for the whole month of Feb. We miss hearing from Mai Breed and his card of Oct. 3 says ". . . Still with the New Eng. T & T Co., moved to new home in Lexington, Mass. Have been out sick last 3½ mos. including operation, now recuperating, up and around, not yet ready to go to work. . . ." Thrilling it was to get a postcard from John C. Campbell Jr. postmarked Hanover, for John's hangout is Duluth, where he is Pres. of the Forest Products Co.; and says, "Have a son John C. 3rd in the Marines after 2 yrs. at Yale—youngest son Robert N. enrolled as a freshman at Yale this year."

When Carol and Jim Morse were doing London and Paris last summer, they sat in a Paris restaurant, and 2 tables from them were Ruth and Bats Young. New York City class dinners Thurs., Dec. 6 and Thurs., Jan. 10. . . . 'Twas our own Richard Holton, Vice Pres. of the East N. Y. Svgs. Bank (10th largest in America, 84 years old) who gave the leadership for '18s record contribution to the Alumni Fund of $15,409. —Dave Garratt pushed the class Memorial Fund to $38,011—Stumpie Barr pushed the number of dues payers up to a new high—have you sent in yours? ($5. D. L. Barr, Dartmouth College, Hanover, N. Zulich (John S. the 3rd) adopted by A1 and Margaret ever since he was 2 weeks old will some day go to Dartmouth, we hope to carry on that fine family tradition. ... A great tribute was paid to Steve Mahoney's son by one of his classmates who said that Steve's son got all A's in Eng. and Philosophy and only once did he slip to a B, and even then the Prof, felt perhaps it was a blow to Steve's son so he let him sit in on another course to try to rectify matters.

AT THE D—ARMY FOOTBALL GAME—seen were Janet and Jules Van Raalte, Anne and JohnnyJohnston, Edith and Dick Holt on, Lenah and FatSheldon, Pat and George Stoddard, Mary and Tommy O'Connell, Mildred and Jay LeFevre, Kate and Ev Young (will be at Delray Beach, Fla., in Feb.), and we were only an hour's ride away with distinguished guests Stan Jones and Dan Shea, who had arrived for that weekend with the slogan "frig the host"—so after some prodding and being squelched we relaxed and enjoyed some good golf (Shamus) and nature. (Stan & self often on the fairway.) It's a great tribute to the unique and successful farm operation of the Sibbernsens in Bennington, Neb. that foreign correspondents seeking to educate their own are routed to touch taken care of. The weekend of the Syracuse game the Youngs and LeFevres all gathered at the Ship's Lantern Inn where they were hoping to meet the Stoddards. Mildred and Jay have for years shown great interest in the Greer School in Saugerties, N. Y., where children from broken homes are taken care of. The weekend of the Syracuse game in Hanover, Stumpie Barr reported that HarveyHood, as Trustee, was in town, also he had a phone call from Cort Horr, and he understood Louis Huntoon was around town. Hal Doty was there for 3 or 4 days before going on to Boston for the Harvard game.

Wonderful, wonderful weekend at the Harvard-Dartmouth game—some comments by Edith Cooley:

". . . Well, the out of town boys who attended the '18 dinner outnumbered the Boston locals, so everyone who appeared at the cocktail party was greeted with, 'Where were you last night, you bum!' There was much kidding when Marty Straus and his wife were there, about Tintair—for those who had enough hair and no gray noticeable (Tommy Groves, Louis Hunto on, etc.). Guess everyone who saw Harvey Hood asked him about Mt. Washington—a free season on the cog railroad etc. and a rent-free chance to camp out for the summer. The Strauses went to see The Painted Wagon, in which, I believe, they own some part. It's excellent, the critics say. The Stump Barrs did not come, as Ethel is in the hospital. Dick Holton said that Hal Doty conducted an anti-Taft campaign at the dinner. It was nice to see Rosie with Hort Chandler at the game, and then to have Elizabeth drop in at the cocktail party. It was nice to see Amv and BillPepin and the Stew Teazes, and we missed BillReilley but suppose his daughter's wedding kept him busy. . . . 'Twas the best cocktail party ever."

Thanks a lot, Edith. Hort Chandler certainlydid a wonderful job.

In addition to doing a beautiful job inrunning the whole thing, Hort wrote us asfollows:

"We had a fine time Fri. night at '18 dinner. I must admit some of us Boston 'regulars' get upset when 16 people at a dinner such as this show and only 8 were from the Boston group. Present were Dick Cooley, Chaunce and Harv Hood. TomShirley, Ed Stanley, Reed Montgomery, Bill Pepin and it was a great pleasure to welcome Con Horr from Chicago, who is as regular as the regulars. He always manages to find btisiness in the East at football game time. Jack Slabaugh on from Akron, Hal Doty from Cleveland, Ed MacDoivell from Plattsburg, N. Y., Doc Rolf Syvertsen from Hanover, Marty Straus, Bill Christian and Dick Holton from N. Y. We missed Ed Ferguson, distinctly a regular, and George Rowell was sidetracked.

"At the game were Helen and Stew Teaze, also Louis Hobbs. 'Twas good to see Reed and JaneMontgomery with Tommy Jr., and from New York were Jasper and Ann Johnston and Jasper's brother and wife, Marty Straus and his charming spouse, and Bill Christgau. We were certainly pleased that Jack Slabaugh brought Thelma along so we could get acquainted with her, and Em Morse brought his lovely Carol and son from Chicago (why have they been keeping these lovely ladies under wraps for so long?)—last but not least, as far as I am concerned, were the Chandler gals, Elizabeth and Posy—and also spotted at the game by eagle-eyed Eddie Fergoosen was Doc Angell (chrm. Board Trustees, Glover Memorial Hospital) in the stands with wife Kath 'a well known oil painter.' "

Everybody thanks you for that very enjoyable Harvard weekend, Hort. Nobody has a better time than good old Bill Christgau and, he added:

"This was a great, great party and lots of fun to see Alberta and Amos Blandin, Betty and RayBaldes, George von Kapf and his daughter, and with Dick and Edith Holton was Mary Louise and believe it or not with a Harvard man—was Edith in great form! Hal Doty was the only Democrat there and sitting beside me in the stands was Allan H. Ward '18 whom we haven't seen since College. In fact his questionnaire at the 25th was somehow not sent in. Hort certainly deserves a lot of credit for a wonderful weekend, and ensconced in the lovely Currier and Ives room it became known that this was Edith and Dick Holton's 28th anniversary so corks popped and the Holtons treated the party with champagne."

Em Morse and Carol drove up to Em's old hometown of Medford, Mass., where, said Em, "we lived on the wrong side of the track." Being from the same hometown ourselves, we would like to see now the expression on the faces of some of those Medfordites as they see Em as a top buyer of one of the biggest industrial organizations in America: Lever 8r05.... Willie Stedman '19, highest scoring ace in his day in snaring the dolls on Bostons' Tremont St. told us our virile Stanley Jones was playing squash with distinguished Gene Tunney a few years back and really had him hanging on the ropes as Stan served up that wall board of his that tore out their innards. ...

Back in Hanover for the first time in 34 years will be Bill Wright, all the way from Deeth, Nev., for the Cornell game and with son Johnny, Ist string guard on the Andover team, and at this writing we know John will give a good account of himself at the Andover-Exeter game Nov. 10, week before Cornell game. What a treat this would be for Linda! She'll be on with Bill for one of these trips soon. ...Hort Chandler reported running into Ken Jones at the Sandwich, N. H., fair—"the biggest one-day Fair in New England." ... From George Hull, "Went to D. dinner here in Wash., D. C., when Admissions Director A. I. Dickerson gave a fine, sincere talk. Am trying to sell Georgetown houses, which originally cost $3000 for $30,000 and occasionally succeed. The public seems to prefer to give its money to anyone rather than Harry."
