1921
February, the month when you wonder if they'll have any snow in Hanover for Winter Carnival and then recall a certain house party or a special girl. Whatever did become of that cute little trick? Oh, well that was decades ago probably she's a grandmother now. So you buy a valentine for your wife, pause to pay your respects to Abe Lincoln and George W. who started us all off on the right track, and then settle down to work on your income tax blank. When you jot down your contributions during 1952, there's that Dartmouth Alumni Fund item again. Probably you'll be hearing from Rog Wilde or some other classmates pretty soon about the 1953 Fund. You always did want to give more generously to the College but there were so many other demands. Now your '52 tax is computed, so you experiment with a few supplementary figures and perhaps find that every additional $3 you give only actually costs you $2 because you save $1 in taxes. Maybe your case is different but exactly what would be the net cost to you of joining the Century Club or even the McKinley Club? No hurry, of course, five months to go, but —well, $20 each month would do it that is, make the Century Club. Sixty-five 1921 men made it last year. Why not try?
The above is an unsolicited boost by your secretary because there's something about this job that tends to bust all your vest buttons off with pride in the accomplishments and character of the Class of 1921. We're right up there with the classes who have done and are doing the most for Dartmouth and for all its worthwhile objectives. Let's keep it 21 Up!
News items are slightly on the skimpy side at the moment but Mac Johnson, while examining the New York Federal Reserve Bank in November, dropped in at the Dartmouth Club of New York and found Cliff Hart, BillCodding, Abe Weld and Ingham Baker staging an impromptu '21 gathering. Apparently Bill embarrassed Mac somewhat by digging back into the history of Attleboro, Mass.
Bob McConaughy, president of an investment company of that name in Salt Lake City, is about to offer Connie Keyes and Guy Wallick desk space in his publicity department, especially if they will work on Chick Stiles to come to Jackson Hole, Wyo.
Fred Sercombe, our attorney member in Portland, Ore., solved our mystery as to the identity of Fred H. Schroeder of that city who registered at the Hanover Inn as Class of 1921. The answer is that Schroeder is '21 at Washington State and neglected to note his college. He is now a Dartmouth booster.
Phil and Florence Noyes have four children and five grandchildren but are lonely in their Fairhaven, Mass., home since their only daughter entered Lasell Junior College last fall. Phil Jr. '49 lives with his wife and three children in Yakima, Wash.; Edward, with wife and two offspring in Springfield, Mass.; while Donald is an Army Corporal in Germany. George and Madeline Harris are in the same fix with five children away from home. George B. 3rd is a Lt. (j.g.) in Navy Air, stationed at Pensacola since his return from Korea; Joel is an Engineering Senior at University of New Hampshire; Judith at Stephens College, Columbia, Mo.; and Marilyn at Walnut Hill School, Natick, Mass. George is glad to have Bob Burroughs back on the job to help run their insurance agency in Manchester, N. H.
Mr. and Mrs. Milton H. Linnell Jr. of Longmeadow, Mass., recently announced the engagement of their daughter Nancy to Paul Graves Sanderson Jr. '52, son of Dr. and Mrs.Paul G. Sanderson also of Longmeadow. Miss Linnell is a Mt. Holyoke graduate. Paul Jr. is now on the faculty of Suffield Academy. A June wedding is planned. Harry Chamberlaine's younger daughter Janice, a senior at Mt. Holyoke, also became engaged in December to Mr. Scott Pierce of Rye, N. Y. The prospective son-in-law attended Taft School, Yale University, and is now studying at Miami University. His father is president of the McCall Corp. and a trustee of Miami University where JBeta Theta Pi began. Right all three men are Betas. Miss Catherine Mosher McCabe, 2nd daughter of Gene and DorothyMcCabe of Westport, Conn., acquired an engagement ring in December from Mr. Edward H. Concannon, son of Leo Concannon of Waban, Mass. Catherine graduated from Goucher College in 1952. Her fiance is Dartmouth '48, Phi Gamma Delta, Dragon, and attended Tuck School. He served with the Marine Corps in the last war and is now with Young and Rubicam, Inc., New York. Gene as you know is V.P. and General Sales Manager for Tide Water Associated Oil Cos.
A considerable number of our '21 men travel about. Werner Janssen, Ort and LoisHicks, Chick and Kelly Stiles all registered at the Hanover Inn in early December. DeweyGruenhagen, now of L.A., stopped at the New York Dartmouth Club for a few days. Herrickand Avalita Brown ran into Ellis and LucyBriggs at the La Guardia Airport restaurant on a Sunday just before the Briggs' left for Korea. Ellis' daughter Lucy, Smith '52, and son Everett, Dartmouth '56, were having a farewell meal with their globe-trotting parents. The Browns accepted their cordial invitation to join the party and exchange news of the Class and the College.
While en route to Tulsa and Texas about December 1, your secretary met Shepard Lowman, a geology professor at R.P.1., who turned out to be an old friend of ClarenceSanders, our consulting petroleum geologist in Fort Worth. A 'phone call later to Sandy from Dallas disclosed that he would not return from a trip to his old home town, Minneapolis, in time to have a visit. He has been the only '21 man in Texas but Addison Warner has just transferred from his investment business in Chicago to Borger, an oil and natural gas town in the Panhandle.

John R. Means, who was lost to us for awhile, can now be reached via P.O. Box 1201, Pass-A-Grille Beach, Fla. Philip E.

Schultz, still with the Central National Bank, Cleveland, 0., shifted his residence last fall to 20855 Almar Drive, Shaker Heights 22, O.
Jack Hurd, the black-hearted scouedrel who sneaked my picture by nefarious means into last month's ALUMAG, has promised to get out a new geographical list of 1921 men in this month's Smoker so why give you any more?
CLOTHES MAKE THE MAN: Bill Alley '2l, shown with his grandson William McKinley Alley 11, knows what the well-dressed Dartmouth-man-to-be wears.
