1918

Ken (Senator, A. Harold) Kendall, was named chairman of the N. H. Tri State Comion by the Governor. Ken was host at his VErv old home on East Surry Road to members Of the Keene City Council; buffet luncheon served by a caterer, and guests were shown The beautiful antiques and Hampshire pottery. With Ken's permission, we hope later to run a picture of his charming home.... For about two months Steve Mahoney was travelline to the Coast, Gulf of Mexico, and through Florida. We were all glad to see him back November 9.

Quick-Lunch-Prof Bob Fish writes "This is not to report to you about me. i do want to register Wat I have seen Ray and Hazel Dart who live in a lovely home on the Muirlands and are doing fine (Ray is with Hill, Richards & Co., investments) And I'm also passing you an editorial from the New Rochelle Standard Star regarding our own George Davis, that may not have come to your attention previously. Id recommend reproducing It in full; it would make one excellent column of class notes, and there's no one in 1918 who is better entitled to such emphasis. Hope you agree

It should be a privilege and an honor tor all of us to assist Dick White in his efforts to encourage '18ers to leave something for the College in their will or a life insurance policy. The Executive Sec. of the Amer. Assn. of Nursery Men, having its huge convention at the Waldorf Astoria in N. Y. City, (Or.) Richard P. White, told the convention sales had reached an estimated half billion in '52. Thoughtful Dick sent us, as well as Hort Chandler and Jake Bingham, the National Chamber of Commerce report, showing a picture of our rugged cattleman, Bill Wright, Natl. Chamber director and partner and manager of Mary's River Ranch, Deeth, Nevada, who told the House Subcommittee on Public Lands that the ranching business is plagued by too much government. Bill's doing a wonderful job.

Alert Pres. of Secretaries Assn., Dick Pearson '20, sent us a clipping on Gene Markey, who has reactivated his film company "Markfilms" and his first production will be a screen translation of his book Kingdom ofthe Spur, a story about an American cowboy who becomes a cattle baron in Mexico. The picture will be filmed on location at Durango in the spring. A word of advice to you, Gene - get brother Deke Bill Wright off Mary's River Ranch long enough to jump into your film the son-of-a-gun is photogenic for men, women, cowboys and Congress.

Stan Jones and his wife M.O. were guests of the Dukes in Nov., and Stanley said they had a delightful time with "Hoppy" and his jovial wife at dinner. Said M.0., "We were lucky getting a corner room at the Inn. Joey stands at the big windows and looks out over the campus as the boys stream to and from classes - also looks up and down Main Street and it keeps him contented. Had dinner with Adele Ives and Alberta and Amos Blandin."

Good news, Shorty Alden in the Veterans Hospital, Providence, R. I., said in a letter feeling pretty good again, and quite relieved hurricane missed the Cape." . . . Our alert, generous roving reporter, Cort Horr, had a delightful visit with Ethel and Stumpie Barrin Minneapolis, where Cort gave them a blow-by-blow account of reunion. ... The Glencoe (Ill.) Union church was the setting for the beautiful wedding of Ann Belding, daughter of Rose and Hi Belding. Hi, a Blyth & Co. Chicago banker, does a wonderful job on the portfolios of some of our largest life insurance companies.

It's a tough job to reach the top in any league, and the Brewers Assoc. of America is no exception. All '18ers will be delighted to know that T. Reed Montgomery was elected their Pres., and in a letter of Oct. 30, he said, "Have been to the convention in Chicago, and visited daughter and grandchildren in Dallas, saw the Rice-S.M.U. game, and the MinnesotaNorthwestern game weekend in Dallas was the Colgate game, and I'm sorry I missed the '18 reunion."

Ellen and Duke (duSossoit — no '18er can drop that name) just back from a N. Y. visit, both looking wonderful as usual, arranged a perfect party at Keene's for the homecoming '18 annual reunion for the Colgate game. Though it was Oct. 17, Duke had even arranged a cerulean blue sky, hot sunshine, no biting wind at all, with drinks and lunch outside on a simply beautiful day and Duke and the Keenes did a wonderful job. Duke had arranged with Amos Blandin to announce that on that very day and standing right there in the group Pixie's (Bryant) father, 86, and mother, had been visiting there that very day in celebration of their wedding anniversary, and all joined in a warm toast. It was a lovely setting. Tom had wanted Pixie and her family to see the gorgeous foliage in Hanover. To celebrate the occasion, Tommy's son Clark was an entering freshman, living at Hot; Woodward, with Don Scully's John, unknown to each other, and recalling when Tommy started with Lymie Poole in Richardson. Said Tommy, "Wish I could entice Lymie and Marjorie to join the gang."

Those present at that grand Colgate weekend, not already mentioned, were Alberta Blandin, CortHorr (and the Earleys had the pleasure of driving Cort to Hanover), Bill Christ gau, Madeleine and Don Scully and son John (sons Don and George already finished at D), Marjorie and Phil Boynton,Carol and Em Morse, Evelyn Col-well (with her new camera wonder will it measure up to the old trusty Brownie?) and Pete, Ruth and CurtGlover (Green Key son Johnny was selling black derbies "Beat Colgate"), George von Kapff, Lucyand Al Piper and their welcome guests, Margaretand Rolf Sy verts en, Pat and George Stoddard (it was George who sparked the wonderful tribute to Dick Holt on in the life he has given to Dartmouth), Helen and Lou Cousens (we're sad we missed their doughnuts and coffee at Keene's), artist Catherine Angell and Doc, and son Norman, Marion and Dave Garratt (people are still talking about the pleasure of your Navy boat trip, Dave). Helen and Paul Miner, drove right up to the Hanover Inn, luckily got a room, relaxed around there two or three days, had a wonderful time.

Carol and Em Morse had invited '18ers to enjoy their warm hospitality after the game. They had been building another wing carpenters around for weeks, ,and those who enjoyed the singing and adagio dancing were Marion and Dave Garratt, George von Kapff,Curt and Ruth Glover, Marjorie and PhilBoynton, Pat and George Stoddard, and "Crisco" - and what a sumptuous feast: apple cake, chocolate cake, ham and turkey and a lovely buffet! Day before at the Yankee Pedlar at Holyoke, enjoying the luncheon were Helenand Ted Hazen (they have a beautiful whitewashed brick house, set among apple trees, with pheasants flying up from the road more later), Eddie O'Connor, Curt and RuthGlover (Ruth driving through the Alps last summer found three martinis made the steep winding roads more pleasant), Cort Horr and Bill Crisco, Robbie Robinson and son, Bill '43 (we missed Helen). Bill, Theta Delt, got a couple of Jap zeros in the war, now lives in Southampton, handling the town newspaper - son Jack a Deke pledge, on the freshman football team.

Also enjoyed at the Yankee Pedlar were Louise and Larry Wallis, who have just moved into their new ranch house and are having the fun of doing lots of the finishing themselves. Besides Louise's big job in the Dramatic Dept. in Mt. Holyoke, where Larry is a professor, she is taking up color theory, which will be put to use in the new house. So many wanted to come to this Colgate weekend reunion. Hazel and Doc Ed McDowell, frequent visitors to Hanover, were there just three weeks before Rose and Eric Ball had so wanted to come, also Marge and Al Rice - A1 was doing his annual hunting down in North Carolina - Al Ward was driving east from Los Angeles - were you at Harvard, Al? - and missed very, very much were Ethel and Stumpie Barr, and Jean and Ed Booth, but Ed was busy doing a wonderful job for the Class.

The Harvard game as seen by Chris"Crisco": "A great success for '18 anyway. Alas, poor Indian! I knew him well. If they only passed when they ran, or ran when they passed! Visited Steve Mahoney on way to the train at Back Bay met Eddie Ferguson who's in wonderful shape was never so happy to see a guy! Soon came my old pal, JohnnyCampbell, '18h, gave up a dry cleaning laundrymen's convention and showed. Doc Angell and son Norman were there. Marty Straus flew in later. Nipper Knapp made the party kept our tongues moist.

Good, old faithful Dick Holton got in from Cuba at midnight, up at 5 and at game, what a guy! (as V.P. of the East N. Y. Svgs. Bank, Dick was on the SS Nieuw Amsterdam —N. Y. State Bankers Assn. Convention aboard ship en route to Cuba. Every time the meeting got quiet Nipper would get us started again with another shot of elixir. DickCooley and Eddie Ferguson had a wonderful turnout from Boston out of 48 potentials, eight Bostonians made it. Was good to see Stub Stanley out, also faithful George von Kapff, and new Pres. of the Natl. Brewers Assn. (Pres. of 125 yr. old Boston Beer Co.) Baron Reed Montgomery. Oh yes, had a glass of milk to start and was nearly thrown out of the U. Club - was served at once when I yelled "Hoods Milk." Cort Horr, Chaunce Hood, and Em Morse, loyal sons of D. were there a prodders committee was suggested of 20 to get out maybe 25 at such a gathering. Saw Lou Huntoon, and Duke duSossoit. I'll forgive Tom Shirley a little if I can credit him with the best cocktail party at the Commander since '49, when my Rosie kissed all the boys.

Others there not already mentioned were Edith Holton, daughter Mary Louise and her Harvard beau David, the welcome CharlieBeneschs - guests of the Holtons; Olive andTommy Groves, Doc Angell's wife Catherine,Chaunce Hood's wife Carolyn, Barbara Hood,Kathie Ferguson, Carol Morse (Em's wife) and good old Phil Sanderson and son-in-law, Lt. Beams. Ken Jones looked as good as ever.. ..

Others: Edith Cooley, always so cheerful and a charming hostess, and genial Dick Cooley;Priscilla and Tom Shirley (their heart was at Hanover, where son Bob was on the freshman football squad —later played against the Yale freshmen). Marion and not-so-Fat Rowell (took off 57 lbs.), and charming daughter Dorothy. My life saver, Doc Syvertsen, was there, and wonderful to see Joe Quincy out with his lovely wife, Dorothy. Missed were daughters Judith, Sally and Mary. A real quiet gentleman from Vt., Norman G. Knapp and his lovely lady Helen, and charming daughter Sarah with guests were there. Cort Horr had quite a party with him. Twink Stowell, honorary '18 (Pres. Underwood Corp.) and wife, also son and daughter-in-law, and Pres. of the N. Y. Dartmouth Club, Carl Ray '37 and wife. Cort Horr, who wished that Judy and Marion were also along, could be dropped in any town in America (we did at Hudson, N. Y.), and he can start doing business. For over 31 years, Cort's been travelling and he has established an enviable reputation in the trade. His honors have justly come to him because he has earned them. Through his courtesy the week of the Colgate game, we were taken through the new Dorothy Draper decorated Deke house, filled with brimming youth, flowing beer and pretty gals in not so. pretty Bermuda shorts. Of the Harvard game, said Cort: "We drove to the Commander, where they had a delicious spread laid out at a lovely service bar, and able Tom Shirley treasured the party in his usual high-class way, with ever dependable Priscilla at his side."

As the old year slips away, the needless fears are ours beyond recall, and ours once more the fair, clean page, the New Year brings to all. RandolphM. Ruddelmeyer has become a barfly in Syracuse, N. Y. Randy moved to Syracuse last winter when all bars in Buffalo refused to serve him any more. Jake Bingham sent us a picture of Ralph Norton's goodlooking son marrying the attractive Miss L. Hall. . . . Elizabeth and Herm Smith have a pretty, new daughter-in-law, when son Leonard married Skidmore's Dolores Chambers, of Mt. Kisco. Herm was reappointed by Gov. Gregg, a member of the Atlantic States Fisheries Comm. . . . Remember Ray Peppard? His son is among the 16 doctors _ interning at Mary Hitchcock Hospital. . . . Nice picture in the newspapers of the attractive daughter of Leon Dodge, in her wedding gown. Hubie McDonough's oldest daughter, Ann was married recently.... Cbunce and Elizabeth Wales' daughter, Cornelia, was just married.
