Mrs. Hayward Retires As Manager of DDA
MRS. ELIZABETH W. HAYWARD, who has been Manager of the Dartmouth Dining Association for the past 15 years, will retire from that position at the end of the 1951-1952 academic year. Her successor will be Miss Jeanette Gill, manager of the Dartmouth Outing Club House, who will take over her enlarged duties at once while Mrs. Hayward is on leave during her final year. Miss Gill will also continue to direct the operations of the DOC House, and Mrs. Hayward will maintain her association with the DDA in the role of special consultant.
At a testimonial dinner, held in Tuck School's Stell Hall on June 11, officers of the College and DDA associates gathered to express their friendship for Mrs. Hayward and to honor her for her service to the College. Halsey C. Edgerton '06, Treasurer Emeritus of the College, spoke briefly and on behalf of those at the dinner presented Mrs. Hayward with a traveling case. President Dickey, who was out of town, was represented by Mrs. Dickey; and President Emeritus Hopkins, also away, wrote a letter of tribute which was read.
Mrs. Hayward became Manager of the Dartmouth Dining Association in July 1936, after dining management positions at Deerfield Academy, Avon Old Farms, and the Women's Educational Industrial Association in Boston. Under her supervision a new era in College dining service began with the opening of Thayer Hall in 1937. In' addition to this new upperclass dining center and Freshman Commons, Stell Hall at Tuck School was also operated under her direction. During World War II she was responsible for the feeding of 2,000 Navy V-12 trainees, the all-time peak for daily meals provided by the College.
Miss Gill, who takes over as head of the DDA, became manager of the DOC House in 1932 and has made that spot famous among Dartmouth men for its good food. Before coming to Hanover she was with the student dining service at the University of Tennessee. During World War II she held the rank of Major in the U. S. Marine Corps Women's Reserve and was in charge of feeding thousands of Marines stationed in the East.
AS A TOKEN of friendship from Hanover associates, Mrs. Hayward receives a traveling case from Hal- sey C. Edgerton 'O6, Treasurer Emeritus. Dean Morse is at the left and Willard M. Gooding 'll at the right.
