1920
Admittedly Treasurer Roc Elliott's current balance sheet is a pretty sight; but, paradoxically, it ought to be better than it is. As our - 35th Reunion (in 1956) approaches, we have committed ourselves to the publication and free distribuion of a Class Directory - our first printed document in ten years. And the three Als - Foley, Frey and Cate - who will compile and design the booklet, are already plotting their inroads into Roc's tidy bank balance. So, if you haven't already put your five on the line to pay this year's class dues, be assured that there is plenty of room for it in the cash drawer and that it is in fact essential to the end in view.
Twenty broke into the local news of Hanover from a new angle on October 18. ArtPierce, until recently a manpower specialist at the Pentagon, changed his course and moved into the delightful spot of Superintendent of Schools for New Hampshire's Union 22, comprising Hanover, Enfield, Lyme and Orford. Never a man of many words, Art comes up with one of the year's prize understatements when he says, "It is nice, of course, to be in this part of the country." In Washington he had the impressive title of Deputy Chief, Plans and Policy Branch, Directorate of Manpower and Organization for the U.S. Air Force. Previously he had held down with great credit school superintendencies in Bangor, Maine, Southbridge, Reading and Wellesley, Mass., so he comes to Hanover amply equipped to keep the local system on the beam. The Pierces are already settled in an apartment at 60 South Main St.
Reports are likewise at hand, showing that several other Twenties have recently uprooted themselves and staked out new claims. FerdSabourin, who long played an almost lone hand for Dartmouth in Great Bend, Kansas, still maintains his office there but has established his new headquarters in Denver. Already he has been seeing something of ZackJordan and he's checking off the monthly Dartmouth Club meetings on his calendar. Not so very far away in Pueblo "A.B." Prescott is practicing as osteopathic physician and surgeon. He wrote some months back to .say that Dartmouth is still much in his mind and that he "wished we were not so far from the College, for we have missed much by not being able to go back." Charlie Mills, who retired from his post of U.S. Army colonel in Virginia last February, turns up now in his old home town of Minneapolis. He has Colorado connections too, because son C. B. Mills III lives in Denver with his wife and C. B. Mills IV, 22 months old. Our Charlie, #2 in this impressive dynasty, is still a U.S. Government employee and covers a lot of ground as regional vehicle manager for the Post Office Department, handling maintenance for all post office trucks in Minnesota, North and South Dakota. Home address: 2101 East River Terrace, Minneapolis 14; office, Room 250, 733 Marquette Ave., Minneapolis 2.
The Freddy Hamms are beginning to think that their address on Sea Gull Drive in Vero Beach, Fla., may become a permanent one. Dorothy collects the family mail daily at P.O. Box 3050; says Fred "is doing pretty well, thank you." Jim Frost, according to one of his former teachers, has earned a service retirement from the public schools of Connecticut. The energy that Jim has never lacked is still much in evidence and he is said to be operating part-time now, selling audio-visual materials to schools. He ought to be good at it, because he long made films and recordings his educational specialty.
Jim Frost Jr. is following in his father's footsteps in the profession of schoolteaching, and other sons of Twenty are racking up new achievements at different age levels. Kim Swezey '50 is an important cog this year in the alumni interviewing service, as it operates in sizing up the would-be freshmen from the Long Island area. George Southwick, second of Dick's boys to enroll at Dartmouth, is said by his old man to be generating more enthusiasm than ever as he wheels along through his sophomore year. Warren Goodnow, son of Charlie, is president of the senior class at Winchester, Mass., High School.
To quote (but not to elucidate) the EasternUnderwriter of New York:
Provident Life & Casualty of Chattanooga has announced the appointment of Keane & Warner, Inc., 150 Broadway, New York, as its general agents for non-cancellable disability lines. This is one of the largest exclusively A. & H. agencies in the metropolitan area with a sizable annual premium volume and a steadily growing clientele of brokers. Keane & Warner, Inc., is the first appointment made by the company which recently made its debut in the New York market for non-cancellable A. & H.... The fiscal year now closing was the best in Keane & Warner's history and the highest yearly percentage of increase was shown to date.... Reuben Warner, vice president of the corporation, is a Dartmouth graduate whose association with Bob Keane dates back to 1945. He began his insurance career as a full-time agent with the James Elton Bragg agency of Guardian Life, serving from 1930 to 1942. Thereafter he served for two years in the Army during World War 11. Like his partner, Mr. Warner has a large following along William Street in agency and brokerage offices.
More hot dope from the insurance front, as reported by the Wayne, Pennsylvania, Suburban Times:
National recognition in his field of business was accorded H. S. Baketel Jr.. of Darby Road, Bryn Mawr, through the publication of an article by him in the leading trade journal in the field of life insurance under the title of "We're Not Being of Service if We Omit Educational Needs." In the article, which appears in The Insurance Salesman magazine, Mr. Baketel tells that a sound college background is becoming a necessity for the youth of this nation.
Good letters from Dave Davidoff and LeoDowling have gone too long unacknowledged. Dave has been one of the closest-mouthed gentlemen in the Class these thirty years and more, and even now he settles for this gem of brevity: "The world has dealt with me kindly, but the constant demands of mv profession seem to have left me very little time for outside activities." Those in the know in the Boston area amplify that terse statement by saying that Dave ranks "way up there" in medical circles. Leo, commenting on his academic adventures after leaving Dartmouth, reminds us that he graduated from Catholic University of America and took his LL.B. degree at Yale Law School. Nevertheless, "my Dartmouth connection is something I cherish highly, and you may be sure that the College lies close to my heart." Leo's law firm, well known in Hartford, is Dowling & Cosgrove at 410 Asylum St., down the street from the imposing bulk of the new Statler.
If you were a regular reader of the BostonGlobe through the late spring and summer, you would have followed the travels of Haland Liz Bernkopf around and about Europe - Paris to Switzerland to Holland and way stations. Most impressive was the food consumed en route as reported by Liz in her "Letters from Europe." An example from a perch 6000 feet up the Matterhorn: "Dessert was divine. A tartlet made of crisp cookie dough, filled with the most delicious vanilla cream, topped with half a poached apple, a cherry and rosettes of whipped cream." But, on the other hand, "We have fallen so low as to take hot milk and sugar in the breakfast cofEee. It is so bitter as to be undrinkable otherwise."
