1922

On June 1 Walter Edgar Sands and the former Doris Louise Graham celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary with a reception at their spacious home. A host of the couple's friends attended and it was a very happy and pleasant affair, with Doris appearing very like a lovely bride and Walt looking pretty sharp in his present streamlined condition. No one seemed to enjoy the occasion more than their children, Frank, Bob and Sylvia. Gray and DotBates, Carter and Allie Hoyt, Dick and MaryLou Willis, Odie Lee and I were among the many present.

Tom Lenci's son, Gordon '56, proved himself a valuable member of the varsity soccer team when he scored two goals as Dartmouth defeated University of Massachusetts in the first athletic contest of the current academic year.

Alden James, who has served as director of advertising and member of the board of directors of P. Lorillard Co., was elected vice president of that company, effective July 1.

We attended the Dartmouth-Holy Cross game at Lynn. Undoubtedly there were others of 1922 there but we saw only Killy and Elizabeth Kilmarx, Dick and Mary Lou Willis. Perhaps many could not resist the temptation to stay at home and watch the game on television in real comfort.

Frank Horan, Stewie and Louise Stearns,Stan and Catherine Miner were guests at the Hanover Inn in the late summer.

The Bullens had their sons home on overseas furloughs during the summer and fall, but not at the same time. Marine Pfc. Jed was home first on his way to California from where he will be shipped to Korea or Japan in October, which is in the future, as these notes are written. A/3C Bill Jr. of the Air Force came home in September on his way to Newfoundland.

On or about July 14, a Taunton, Mass., paper devoted space to the recognition of the birthday of a local boy, John S. Johnson, who was born at Middleboro in 1901. As was there recorded, Johnny married Elizabeth Brown in 1928. The couple was blessed by the arrival of John S. Jr. (Dartmouth '50) in 1929, Edward in 1930 and Mary in 1934. For the first six years out of college, Johnny was associated with Dennison Manufacturing Co. and for the next three years was connected with King Leather Goods Manufacturing Co. In 1931 he cast his lot with United States Rubber Co., became a recognized authority on problems of the manufacture and distribution of tires, and rose to his present position as assistant to the president. During World War II, Johnny served as director of the tire division of the War Production Board.

An article about the White River Valley Clinic recently came to my attention and from it I learned that Bill Angell is a prominent member of the staff. After relating that Bill attended the Dartmouth and Harvard Medical Schools, interned in Ogden, Utah, and practiced for twenty-six years with his dad in Randolph, Vt„ the article mentioned that his hobby is painting. There was no mention that Bill was the bugler for Company I of nostalgic memory for those of us too young to receive pay for participation in the SATC freshman year.

This is the time for me to make my an- nual plea with respect to the payment of class dues. When you consider that the sum billed you includes a subscription to the ALUMNI MAGAZINE, it is clear that only a modest amount comes to rest in the class treasury. We need a broad response to keep our treasury healthy. If you haven't paid the current dues please send Carroll a check now. It is not too early to remind you that an informal gathering is planned for'the weekend of March 12-14. Space has been reserved at the Hanover Inn upon which you can draw by making your own reservations. As was true at our party last March, it will be very informal and, judging by the previous party, very pleasant and relaxing.

GOOD TO COME BACK TO: Lois and Bob Booth '22 have plenty of reason to visit Hanover, with their son Allan now a member of the Class of '57.
