1920

If you are pleased more than somewhat with our improved though still imperfect record on the Alumni Fund, give a thought in passing to the matter of class dues. The Fund helps to support the College; the dues are all that the Class has to lean on. Among other things, they bring you this MAGAZINE. So send Treasurer Roc Elliott your check for the modest five bucks billed to you, in case you discover yourself to be in arrears.

In connection with the Fund, it was good to read in the October issue that Twenty, Agent Stan Newcomer was one o£ fifteen class agents who "won special praise for setting a new record in both contributors and dollars. As for Roc, he gently bemoaned the fact that this was the first year in a long, long time when pressures, both business and domestic, prevented him from injecting a personal note into his annual class billings. The domestic pressure in question centered on the pending move from his hilltop home in Arlington, Mass., to a recently purchased place in Duxbury. Roc will become a South Shore commuter about December 15.

Reports are now as complete as they'll ever be on the Navy game wing-ding boat trip down the Chesapeake, post-game get-together at the Tommy Thomson home, and so forth. Tommy himself has been a most reliable and entertaining correspondent in this connection. Sherm and Rachel Adams, Sherry and BettyBaketel, Sal and Pat Andretta gave the Thomson party a touch of Twenty atmosphere; but Tommy's daughter Mary and husband, son Tommy Jr. and wife were also on hand, as were various others from all over the place. Tommy had "regrets" from certain classmates; and, says he, "my wife sent regrets too." Reason: She was attending daughter Barbara who revived a lot of flagging spirits on that particular Black Saturday (October 3) by making it the birthday of Harold W. Lamb Jr. out in California. "That," says Tommy, "is the first grandson as against five girls. His daddy is skipper of a LSMR (Rocket ship) that is roaming the waters around Japan and Korea. This, of course, puts Barbara at the head of the class even though it is her first baby. He is 19 inches long, which sounds like a hurdler; he'll go to Dartmouth if the Navy doesn't get him first."

Sherry Baketel, who went down to Annapolis from Baltimore on the chartered steamer but abandoned ship in favor of the aftergame gaiety at the Thomson homestead, wrote that Bing Whitaker's was the only familiar Twenty face that he spotted on the S.S. Whatever-It-Was. Lt. Col. Carl Mills was definitely aboard, however. Twenty's contribution to the picture athwart this column, with its four generations of Charles Millses. He reports himself "still in the Army at 58 years of age." He is attached to Headquarters of the Transportation Replacement Training Center at Fort Eustis, Va. Mrs. Mills has been quite ill since late in 1952, but Carl takes courage from the success his son Charles the Third is enjoying in Denver and from the happy marriage and nearby residence of his daughter Martha, who is located at Hopewell, Va. Dutch Schlobohm of Hampton, another of Twenty's growing delegation in Virginia, is known to have purchased his passage and was almost certainly present as the excursion boat rocked its way down the Chesapeake.

The Big Green admittedly was not at its best in Annapolis. A happier tale was unfolded weeks later in the Yale Bowl, where the Jack Mayers, the Hal Clarks and DickPearson were among the Twenties who said hello to each other.

A unique and appropriate memorial to the late Bill Fuguet has been sponsored and financed by his widow Dorothy. Known as the Fuguet Commentarial Color Slide Seminar, it offers seven of the leading camera clubs in New York the opportunity, through four sessions, "for the judging, analysis and discussion of color slides from the viewpoints of personal expression in art, picture content, and technical quality." Ribbons and plaques are to be awarded as prizes. The seminar has been heralded by the local papers as a proper tribute to Bill, who reached the top of the heap in color slide work; and Dorothy writes that the first session October 22 was gratifyingly attended by 200 or more fans. Young Howie Fuguet is making out well in his third year at Phillips Exeter and Cynthia teaches fourth grade in Sharon, Mass. Dorothy's new home address is to be 60 East 9th St., New York.

Claude Farwell, dealer in real estate, is happily located in the lovely town of Groton, Mass. Claude came back to the sizable family homestead there in the early '30s, after some years of teaching at the Wooster School in Danbury, Conn., and has been making a comfortable go of it ever since. It was from Lawrence Academy in Groton that he originally set out for Dartmouth, along with Ed Naylor and several others. Now Ed, one-time accountant in Boston, is also back in Groton. He has been active in the Nashoba Club, over which Claude presided shortly after it made its entry into the Dartmouth alumni fellowship.

New York Herald-Tribune dispatch fromChicago dated September 23:

Sherman Adams, assistant to President Eisenhower, told a group of leading advertising executives today that the present Administration will not be subject to "undue influence" from any special group, whether business or labor. He spoke at the closing luncheon of the 44th annual meeting of the Association of National Advertisers. "This government of yours," he said, "is going to stay in the middle of the road. If it gets into the ditch, either on the Right or on the Left, it will take a long time to get out."

Ben Potter, co-publisher of the Rock island (Ill.) Argus, got AP mention far beyond the limits of his own journalistic neighborhood last summer, in the course of a printer's strike in his neck of the woods. Ben felt so strongly about the attendant violence which rocked residential Rock Island that he submitted voluntarily to lie-detector tests and offered through the Argus a $2500 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the bombers who set off two powerful explosions on July 8.

Wade Smith has a year-old granddaughter - a proud accession to the family of son Warren, Dartmouth '45. ...Jake Gorton takes Zack Jordan at his word and accepts the latter's challenge to show up for the 35th Reunion. Puts in a plug for Danny Bender to make an appearance also. ...Al Frey played host to the Marketing Theory Seminar which came to Hanover for its fourth meeting this fall. Marketing problems and techniques were the subjects of discussion... . Sam Stratton's fine Italian hand was involved in the amusing story Red Smith ran in his October 30 "Views of Sport," based on Middlebury's financial report for the football season of 1907. Dave Austin '04 was the Middlebury coach that fall. He earned $25 a week and operated on an overall budget of less than $1000 Latest publication to run a snapshot of PaulSample: The Key Reporter of Phi Beta Kappa. Paul is shown with Harold G. Rugg at the time the retiring librarian's portrait was presented to Baker Library.

Johnny Allen writes: "Milestones this tall: - Our twelfth wedding anniversary in September; sixteen years with the General Insurance Company in October; an unwelcome present of 55 years from Father Time in November." When his friends ask about Dartmouth football, John tells them what a beautiful library they will find in Hanover.

The sad news of Johnny Prentiss' untimely death has been received and an account of his life is to appear in In Memoriam.
