1920
The post-reunion, wish-I-could-have-beenthere letters are still coming to hand. ShortyStickney, too long a.w.0.1., "hopes in the future to be among those present at all functions." "Too much business" interferes with Art Pfeiffer's Dartmouth activities, but he hasn't given up trying. George Loehr and Rus Keep both had Dartmouth sons graduating at the wrong time in June; now Rus Jr. has tackled the books again in Harvard Law School. Tom Glines, who has resumed work after a long enforced vacation, is happy to be busy but wishes his improvement might have come early enough to allow him to make the Thirtieth. Dean Travis "can never get to a reunion because they come at an impossible time for me, up to'my neck in figures, getting ready to close our books and determine how to distribute earnings." (Ah, there, chum, hats off to anybody with an "earning" to distribute!) Dean sat directly in front of Charlie McGoughran at the Army game, and both of them were equally pleased with the wonderful weather and the alert Dartmouth team.
Sal Anclretta, one of the most missed in Hanover at reunion, has written to explain the why of his absence.
"I had planned on the reunion—had a room reservation and a plane reservation. However, when I started to fly on Saturday morning they told me I could not get in at Lebanon and the nearest place they would set me down was Montreal. (Ed. Note:"They were right, brother, say those of us who weretrying to keep our feet dry in the tent.) So I had to sweat it out until it was too late to get there inasmuch as I would have had to leave Sunday morning to get back here. I even went to the extent of brushing up on a few numbers that I hadn't played for years but it didn't do me any good."
Some of the missing links in the Andretta career were forged for us by an article which appeared in the Hartford Times in August:
"Hartford-born, Andretta oversees the annual expenditure of $180 million in a department employing 30,000. He came to Washington in 1935 to assist the then Attorney General Homer Cummings of Stamford, now dead, in organizing an antitrust division.
"He became executive assistant to the then Attorney General Francis Biddle in 1945, and administrative assistant to Attorney General J. Howard McGrath a year ago.
"Andretta, now 52, formerly was president and a director of Pallotti, Andretta & Co., of Hartford and New Haven. His father, the late Antonio S. Andretta, had held both offices before him.
"Graduated from Dartmouth College in 1920, Andretta studied banking at the Tuck School of Business Administration and Finance and then took his legal degree at Yale. He was admitted to the Connecticut Bar in 1923, then entered general law practice.
"In 1926-35 Andretta served as secretary and trust officer, then as vice president of the Riverside Trust Company, Hartford. He was a chief quartermaster in the Naval Air Reserve in 1918."
New Home News. Buttons and Eva Hill have finally achieved a lifetime's ambition and settled themselves for good at 20 Dartmouth St., Rutland, Vt. Whether they had to cut their own road through and pace off the right number of house lots, in order to get the street properly named and the number exactly according to plan, has not been made manifest; but Buttons, long a man of influence up there in the hills, now has things the way he wants them, with his allegiances proclaimed on every letter sent to his home address... . The Hersh Chandlers, who were supposed to be in Hanover in June, came back from Florida at that time to find that a well-intentioned realtor had sold their Glencoe, Ill., home from under them, as per their own instructions. The speed of the sale took them somewhat aback, however, and they spent reunion time locating new quarters in Evanston.
Random Secretarial Ramblings. Dropped in at the sumptuous Broad St. offices of SherryBaketel in Philadelphia, to check how the insurance brethren are thriving; then lunched at the equally sumptuous Union League Club across the street, escaping unharmed—regardless of political affiliation—because of Sherry's protective presence.. .. Paid a call also at Frank Moulton's law office on the Main Street of Littleton, N. H., and liked that one too. At noon on a Saturday, at the height of a lovely foliage season, the Squire's outer office was comfortably studded with clients, neighbors, or hangers-on, while mingled Yankee accents were passing the time of day within. Frank was facing the usual mountain of weekend work with the grin that bracing White Mountain air seems to have established as permanent.
Another bit of foliage foraging led the secretarial Ford to Governor Sherm Adams' lakeside door on Columbus Day. No answer to the bell, but the Governor was probably no farther away than the nearest golf course, inasmuch as milk, butter and eggs were sitting on the doorstep, awaiting his return. It is reported that there is now a second Adams grandchild and that son Sam is this fall enrolled in St. Paul's School—rumors that should either be confirmed or denied by the gubernatorial pen.
Telephoned John Moore and Hal Bernkopf. John has Portal 1 seats for the Harvard game; must have taken seven or eight families and herded them all together, because he was too far from midfield and from luckier classmates even to exchange Wah-Hoo-Wahs between the halves. Liz Bernkopf had to do the talking for the family, Hal being a Saturday worker. Especially interesting was the news of their visit to Hyde Park a week earlier, when they were house guests of the John Roosevelts and renewed friendships firmly established while John and Hal were neophytes together at Filene's. Liz now does two columns a week for the Boston Globe, the newer of the two containing shopping advice for housewifes under the heading "So You're Going to Go to Market."
Roc Elliott's boy Dick is using his Dartmouth education to good advantage, teaching chemistry (he probably mastered the fundamentals with John Amsden) and serving as assistant football coach at Lawrence Academy, Groton, Mass. Freddy Buschmann, reporting to Treasurer Roc on a trip to Virginia Beach with stop-off in Richmond to see the LeeHodgkinses, put his congratulations in the form of pure poetry: "Glad you were reelected; seems no deficit has been detected." And that's for sure. Roc was able to deposit $260 of dues money in the class account one October morning; is still grateful for additional contributions to sweeten the kitty.
Retiring Class Agent Al Foley not only gets his picture in papers like this one. His most recent profile adorned the special Dartmouth issue of the Harvard Crimson on October 27. We quote, him and them:
"My secretary says that anyone who reaches the age of 40 and is still a bachelor is either a wolf or a drunk. I claim I'm neither. The plump, grayhaired man who runs Dartmouth's new experiment, a laboratory course in current events, puffed on his corn-cob pipe. 'A man can't take on too much in life,' he said. 'Something has to go.'
"Foley has long been interested in giving Dartmouth seniors a key to the understanding of today's news and newspapers. The Great Issues program in its five years has seen Foley on the steering committee for three. 'We make them read the New York Times or Herald Tribune every day,' said Foley. 'Most of them take the Times which surprises me. I always thought the average student here was more the Trib type.' "
