1922
When these notes come to your attention it certainly will be "later than you think" with respect to our reunion. I can't imagine plans more thoroughly worked out than those of Walt Sands, Gray Bates and their helpers. They have worked long and hard to provide everything needed to create the framework of a weekend that will have an appeal for wives and children as well as ourselves. It's going to be there for the taking so come and get it. To the many members of his fan club I point out that Phil Kimball will appear.
While idly thumbing through the February issue of The Journal of Accountancy I happened upon the announcement that MaxKenyon has succeeded to the editorship of The Internal Auditor, a periodical of the Institute of Internal Auditors, Inc. Max, a Certified Public Accountant, is asistant comptroller for Colgate-Palmolive-Peet Cos.
Miss Dorothy May Copeland and Warren F. Daniell Jr. were married in Darien, Conn, on March 18. Warren '49 is a civil engineer with the New England Electric System.
An engagement of lively interest to Dartmouth folk of our time is that of Mary Ann Neidlinger and Robert D. Kilmarx. The announcement was made by Pudge and Mrs. Neidlinger on March 18. Bob is attending Harvard Law School, having graduated from Dartmouth with the class of 1950. An August wedding is planned.
Does anyone know the present whereabouts of Robert E. Coventry? Glens Falls, N. Y., is the only address on my records and that doesn't seem to be it now.
As a sort of reunion warm-up, the Boston division of the class held a cocktail party at the University Club preceding the general Alumni dinner March 7. Attending were: George Stanley, Fran Leland, Gray Bates, Carter Hoyt, Carroll Dwight, Al Crampton, DickLitchfield, Walt Sands, Nick Carter, Jim Carroll,Ced Porter, Len Morrissey and your scribe. As usual, Bob Hight and Dick Willis were unable to join us because of membership in the orchestra that played for the dinner.
Our fathers' and sons' weekend did come off as scheduled on March 16-18. Those of us who were there to enjoy it are indebted to Olie Olsen, Ted Davidson Jr. and Dave Angell for making the arrangements and sending out the notices. Happily, I think, it was kept in- formal for the most part. A cocktail party and dinner at the Inn on Friday evening was the nearest thing to a formal event. A nice feminine touch was added to the cocktail party by the presence of Nan Dwight and daughter Mary Gay. GaTthered at the dinner table were these fathers and sons: Duke Vos-Burgh and Peter '52, Al Lyon and Maury '52, Ted Davidson and Ted Jr. '51, John Fancher and John Jr. '52, Bill Angell and Dave '51, Bob Booth and Tom '54, Carter Hoyt and Carter Jr. '49, Carroll Dwight and Peter '54, your secretary and Bill Jr. '54, and Olie Olsen with Wes Nutten III '51 and Fred Weare '51 as sons adopted for the occasion. After dinner, most of us attended the freshman talent show in Webster Hall where the audience was no less enthusiastic than those of our day. Nearly everybody watched the track meet with Brown on Saturday afternoon and had the particular pleasure of seeing Sam Daniell win the 600 and John Fancher run a close second in the 1000. There was a delightful concert in Webster Hall on Saturday evening by the Dartmouth octet and octets from five other colleges. We fathers were quartered in a fairly concentrated area in the Inn. For the most part we ate together in informal groups and stayed up together much later than is my usual custom. Stan Miner was a most welcome addition to our Saturday night session. Killy Kilmarx was in town that Saturday, also, but a foregoing paragraph will explain why he had a chance to do little more than say hello around. John Fancher's older son Lee came to town on Saturday on his way for induction. This could be only one man's opinion, but I count that weekend as one of the pleasantest in my experience. I hope it is established as an annual event so long as there are sons of '22 in Dartmouth.
The current issue of the incomparable Horan Twoter came today. Enclosed with mv copy were not one but four fund pledge slips —a subtle touch.
Chick Busher, the sly schemer, figured out a way to tear down an old building, remove and relocate its tenants, build a new building on the site, obtain tenants for the new building and thus to provide the New York Tele- phone with a modest amount of conveniently located space, the request for which had started Chick off. The end result was the award to Chick of the check offered as a prize for the best Bronx deal of 1950.
Bill Angell as chairman, with Gene Hotchkiss and Killy Kilmarx, make up the nominating committee which will present a slate at our business meeting at reunion time. Please feel free to pass your suggestions to any one of the committee members. To be elected are a secretary-chairman, a treasurer, a class agent and three members of the executive committee.
There isn't much to be added to that which Stan Miner has told you already about the Alumni Fund. I can do little more than say that the financial need of the College is real and critical. Be as generous as you possibly can. Give early.
COME TO REUNION. KIMBALL IS COMING.
