1920
THE HONOR ROLL (the same being the list of Sure Bets or the next thing to it, for Reunion attendance, June 22-24, some with wives, some with sons, daughters or even grandchildren, but all with tongues hanging out to savor the good things that only Hanover Plain can offer): Sherm Adams, Johnny Allen, John Amsden, Ben Ayres, Sherry Baketel, Doctor Baketel, Hal Bernkopf, Irv Blaine, Eddie Bowen, Ted Cart, Bill Carter, Al Cate, Sam Center, Hersh Chandler,' Jim Chilcott, Hal Clark, Ed Curtis, Horace Dalrymple, Tom Davidson, Tom Dudley, Roc Elliott, Gugger Fiske, Al Foley, Al Frey, Jim Frost, Phil Gross, Fred Hamm, Bun Harvey, Henry Hayes, Buttons Hill, Howie Hitchcock, Paul Kay, Scout Lee, Spud Lind, George Loehr, Frank Lord, Don Mac Donald, Don MacKay, George Macomber, Frank Mayer, Jack Mayer, Joe McDonald, Charlie McGoughran, Mugs Morrill, Frank Moulton, Laddie Myers, Stan Newcomer, Carl Newton, Jim Parkes, Dick Pearson, Grosvenor Plowman, Roger Pope, Bill Quinn, Paul Richter, Jim Robertson, Harry Sampson, Dutch Schlobohm, Dick Southwick, Ken Spalding, Bob Steinholz, Al Stillman, Gerry Stone, Red Tillson, Bill Tracy, Dean Travis, Leo Ungar, Eb Wallace, Ted Weis, Bud Weymouth, Bing Whi taker, Nate Whiteside, Les Willard, George Winter, Harry Worth and Chet Wiley.
And that is just the beginning—a fraction of Twenty's Turnout that will make the echoes ring. Frank Moulton and AI Foley, taking turns at spreading the word, have guaranteed comfortable quarters, good cheer and sprightly entertainment, all at low cost. So, if you haven't yet signed on the dotted line, take another look through the list above and ask yourself if another chance to say hello to this gang isn't more than worth the price of admission.
The missing members will be in the great minority (we hope and believe) but many of them will be with us enthusiastically in spirit. Different reasons will keep different classmates away. A Baltimore bulletin, for example, brings the good news that Bob Van Iderstine is making a nice comeback from his coronary of a year ago, but that crowds and full evenings aren't on his program yet. So he's started already to look forward to the 35th. The Van I's have just now moved from their house to the easier activity of an apartment at 4 Upland Road in Baltimore. Bob Dow, much as he had hoped to be back, reports that reunion week will find him almost alone on the job at the admissions office of Washington Square College, N.Y.U., just as the summer term is starting. Bill Shea will be in an even less accessible spot. His research and analytical talents in the mining field (with C. Tennant Sons & Co. of New York) will have taken him to Chile late in June. Another on the "haveto-be-careful" list—but who keeps in good spirits, regardless—is Lloyd Granger, father of three fine girls and a boy, the last attending Bloomfield College in New Jersey. Lloyd him-self practices dentistry in East Orange.
Obviously sincere regrets emanate from the Lee Hodgkinses in Richmond, whose reunion attendance record has been unbroken up to now. But daughter Joyce's marriage to John Graydon Legg of Leesburg, Va., a graduate of the University of Virginia, takes place at King's Chapel in Boston on June 27. Lee and Ann became grandparents with the arrival of Lee Howard Bruemmer (daughter Janice's boy) approximately a year ago. Final item of Hodgkins news is that they are breaking ground for a new home, where all Twenties will be welcomed with open arms before so very long.
Charlie Stevens and Paul Richter fought the good fight for civic service in their respective school board elections this spring, but both succumbed as luck would have it to the pluralities of older hands. Charlie, professor of romance languages at Rutgers, has lived in nearby Highland Park, N. J., since 1934 and has a son David at school there. The ConcordMonitor's account of Paul's entry into the local school contest speaks of him as active in Masonic affairs and treasurer of the board of trustees of the First Methodist church.
The Boot and Shoe Recorder records:
"Worcester, Mass.—Arthur Pfeiffer, president of Pfeiffer's, Inc., makers of casuals and slippers, has recently completed a combination business and pleasure trip to the Hawaiian Islands. With Mrs. Pfeiffer he spent a week in Washington. Then he flew to Phoenix, Ariz., to visit his son Bruce, who is attending school there. Then he and Bruce continued on to Los Angeles and by plane to Honolulu. On March 1 they returned by air to San Francisco. Mr. Pfeiffer contacted various representatives of the company along his route and reports that his stay in Honolulu resulted in a number of style and merchandising ideas that will be profitable to his company."
If you happen to be browsing through your copy of How to Multiply Your Life InsuranceSales, compiled by Mervin L. Lane and copyright, 1950, by Prentice-Hall, Inc., take an especially attentive look at the chapter entitled "How to Make One Dollar Do the Work of Three" and note that its author is H. Sheridan Baketel Jr.
The Standard Accident Insurance Co. of Detroit has announced the appointment of Hal A. White, formerly executive secretary of the company, as vice president of Standard and also of its affiliate, the Planet Insurance Co. Hal will be in charge of production for both companies.
Red Small's new job is that of chief of the Laboratory of Chemistry in the National Institute of Arthritis and Metabolic Diseases. Red's fine record is well known to all Twenties, but the Bethesda (Md.) Tribune sums him up crisply as "author of some 60 scientific papers and an authority in the field of morphine alkaloids." Red says that's all well and good but the important news is that he's running well up in the Grandfather Sweepstakes, with a total of four grandchildren on the family roster.
Nate and Mildred Whiteside's daughter Barbara was married April 7 in Grace Episcopal Church, Hinsdale, Ill., to Robert Warren Harris. Hinsdale is still home to any Whiteside, and that's where the Harrises settled down after a wedding trip to the Smoky Mountains.
Doc Miller is new chairman of the medical advisory committee of the Worcester Society for District. Nursing... . Reunion Chairman Frank Moulton has accepted service on the zoning board of Littleton, N. H....HikeNewell and Carl Newton give the Class welcome representation on that new committee that will help make the Inn a better-thanever place to live in... . John Beranek, northwest regional agent for the Alumni Fund, has doubtless learned that Reuel Phillips has come back down off the Idaho steppes and relocated in Spokane.... George Winter will have one of the easiest trips to Reunion, if he sets out from that spring-summer-and-fall home he acquired up in Falls Village, Conn., not so long ago.
Here's a glad hand for two long-lost brethren who have just lately checked back in with word of their present whereabouts. CarrollDowries is located in Galesburg, Ill., where he serves as factory sales representative for Spitz Laboratories of Philadelphia. The Reverend F. Philip Frazier, continuing his long and fine service as a missionary, is now to be found in Hominy, Okla.
If you've read this far, will you bear with your secretary and read these last words of the 60,000-odd he's written in this column during the six years since he took office? Please don't fail the Class and the College on the Alumni Fund this year. Our dollars were never more badly needed; probably we've never had more of them put by to draw upon. If you had a figure in mind to send to Hanover, can't you persuade yourself to up that figure just a bit as you prepare to write the check? Remember, however well or ill we do at other times, we have a reputation for making the grade in reunion years.
Secretary, Blind Brook Lodge, Rye 17, N. Y.
T reasurer, 1 Windmill Lane, Arlington 74, Mass.
Class Agent Box 315, Hanover, N. H.
