1922

Fran and Lucy Leland spent the last two weeks of August at a villa on Lake Como, Italy. They flew both ways.

Meager information from a source in Detroit indicates that Roy and Dorothy Ball took a trip to Europe during the summer. My informant sent me a clipping showing the ultra modern building recently constructed and occupied by King Cigar Co., the concern which Roy operates so successfully. The new building provides double the space of the old quarters.

Dan and Mary Daniell must be pretty proud of son Jere for being valedictorian of the Dartmouth Class of 1955.

Sons of 1922 currently in the campus news are Tom Booth and Bob Rex, tackle and fullback respectively on the football squad and seeing action.

On a recent trip to Canada, Stan Miner had an opportunity to spend some time with Dave Camp and was kind enough to relay some information. Employed by Bell Telephone Company of Canada, Dave is supervisor of traffic for that country. He and Mary Jeanne Elder were married in Beebe, Quebec, on July 2, 1927. Their daughter Marilyn earned her Ph.D. from McGill last June as their son Thomas was being graduated from McGill Law School. They vacation summers at their camp on Lake Memphremagog and Dave's winter sport is curling.

Substituting for Gene Hotchkiss who was unable to attend, your correspondent, accompanied by Odie Lee, journeyed to Hanover for the meetings of Class Bequest Chairmen held September 16-17. We stayed until Sunday to watch some of a tennis tournament being played on the college courts and happily ran into Bob and Lois Booth who were there to do some watching, also.

The Hugh Kilmers and John Hazeltines were among the late summer visitors at the Hanover Inn.

Jed Bullen, who received his Marine discharge last April, is taking his senior year at Newton High School. Bill Jr. and his bride are expected back in this country any day now. He will finish out his Air Force enlistment at Westover Field.

About Reunion: The demands on eating and room accommodations in Hanover by seniors and their guests on Commencement weekend are such that it is no longer possible for the 25-year-class to hold its reunion at that time, which means scheduling it for the following weekend. In turn, thereby, that second weekend becomes hopelessly overcrowded if an attempt is made to hold all class reunions upon it. To relieve the situation, the College, starting last June, asks three classes to hold reunions early in the week between the two weekends. Last June, the Classes of '09, '10 and '11 experienced the midweek system and realized good attendances.

For the reunions of their classes in 1956, the officers of '20, '21 and '22 have been requested to consider the dates June 11-13 (Monday-Wednesday). On first thought the question arises as to whether the dates might prevent attendance by some who would not be able to take the week days away from business, but it seems unlikely that would be so with dates set well in advance. Actually it is likely there are some who will be able to attend on the week days but would not make it on the weekend because of conflicting graduation exercises and Saturday weddings. The usual program, including the President's Reception, Players Show and Alumni Luncheon, is scheduled by the College for the midweek reunions and the three classes are offered a greater choice of dining facilities and use of the most desirable dormitories. These considerations plus the very important fact that it would appear to be in the best interest of the College prompted your officers to accept June 11-13 as the dates for our class reunion in 19.56 with the assurance that '20 and '21 will do likewise. We hope our action meets with your approval and that you will make every effort to attend.
