1922
With its record-breaking Alumni Fund performance, an enjoyable reunion, graduations and weddings of many sons and daughters, our class has had an eventful summer. And with the unusual honor of a class son as Dartmouth football captain this season, wTe look forward to a most interesting autumn.
Jack Dodd did a magnificent job as our Alumni Fund Head Agent. Jack deserves the sincere gratitude of the class for the enthusiasm, energy, and ability he gave wholeheartedly to our common cause. Our contribution of $20,045 set a greatly increased new high for the class and far surpassed the objective of $16,310. Our performance in percent of objective placed the class in 15th position among the 72 classes participating in the Fund. And if that is not just cause for class pride, what is? Every classmate, every contributor, and particularly Jack and his well organized group of fifty assistant agents can and should be justly proud of this achievement for Dartmouth. Our number of contributors increased markedly over the preceding year but if any classmate who did not contribute this year should read these notes, get ready for next spring because Jack and his group will be seeing you. There are no forgotten men in the Class of '22.
And while gratitude is being justly expressed, Steve Kenyon deserves genuine appreciation for the fine job he is doing as editor of our class news letter. Not an easy job, it takes considerable time and effort. The only recompense is the eagerness with which the letter is read. And Steve can be completely assured that while the circulation is select rather than large, "The Twoter" has no peer in reader interest.
Our class was well represented by sons at the College commencement exercises in June. Five sons of '22 received their degrees in the class of '56. The happy young graduates were: Foster L. Aborn, Alan R. Booth, Anthony W. Carleton, Charles T. Morrissey, and William B. Norton. The proud — and possibly relieved parents — Jack Aborn and family, Bob and Lois Booth, John and Alicia Carleton, Len and Margaret Morrissey, and Art and Dorothy Norton were all present and all seemed to have survived the four years without apparent depreciation.
Class daughters were also degree recipients in June. Bill and Sally Pope attended commencement at William and Mary College to see daughter Sue receive her degree with a major in education. Ozzie Holland was present at Hood College to see one of his daughters receive her degree. Ozzie also has another daughter at Centenary College. And there must have been many other class sons and daughters going out into the wide world last June. If Daddy won't write to tell us about them, maybe Ma will.
The class shares a unique and proud distinction this football season. Captain Bob Rex, son of classmate Bill Rex, will lead the Big Green and lead it well. At fullback in the Blackman V-formation, Bob is the blocking back who spearheads the attack and clears the path. First-hand reports from teammates describe Bob as "a team guy all the way" and "a football player's player." With congratulations to Dad Bill and with genuine personal pride all of us will cheer the Big Green more than ever this fall.
In the Class of '60 entering the College as freshmen we do not know exactly how many class sons we shall have but we are certain that Harry Bruckner's Harry Jr. and Bill Bullen's Jed will be among them. There is a touch of Hanover nostalgia in the fact that Harry Bruckner Jr. and Bob McCarthy, nephew of George McCarthy, will be freshman roommates. Bill and Odie Lee Bullen may not commute to Hanover every weekend, but with Jed there as a freshman and son Bill back there from the Air Force as an upperclassman, if you don't find the Bullens at home in Waban, it is just possible they might be in Hanover.
As a prelude to his son's matriculation, Harry Bruckner literally went back to college this summer. He spent eight weeks in Hanover, living in a dorm, eating in college dining rooms, attending classes, and really hitting the books. Harry was in a group of approximately fifty Bell System executives selected to attend a special summer session conducted for them by the College. The curriculum designed by the faculty was directed towards enlarging the horizons of telephone executives for their present and future responsibilities.
Apparently one duty in gathering these notes is the new experience of perusing the social columns hunting for news of class sons and daughters getting married. And this summer the experience has been tremendously rewarding never saw such a bevy of pretty brides as the class pledged this spring.
When Alan Rundlett Booth '56, son of Boband Lois Booth took Miss Beatrice Marie Edgcomb as his bride in the Congregational Church at Laconia, N. H., on June 22, the ceremony was performed by Bishop John T. Dallas, beloved friend of our class. Tom Booth '54 was his brother's best man and six of the ushers, including Tony Carleton, son of John and Alicia, were recently graduated classmates of Alan.
Our Mr. and Mrs. King E. Fauver saw their son, Scribner Lee Fauver, married to Miss Ann Babbitt of Southport, Mass., at Friends Meeting House, Central Village, Mass., on July 20. John K. Fauver was best man and L. Benjamin Fauver was an usher. Miss Babbitt was graduated from Mount Holyoke College; the bridegroom from Deerfield, the College, where he was Phi Beta Kappa, and Harvard Law School.
Dr. and Mrs. Egon E. Kattwinkle saw their daughter, Miss Ellen Lucille Kattwinkle, married to Ensign Stephen Armor Wilson USNR at the Second Church in Newton, Mass., on June 30. Among the ushers were the bride's brothers, Norman and John. A Mount Holyoke graduate, Miss Kattwinkle received her M.A. in teaching from Radcliffe. Mr. Wilson was graduated from the University of California School of Engineering and is presently attending Aviation Electronics School.
As parents of the bridegroom, Steve and Vi Kenyon were present at the wedding of Stephen M. Jr. and Miss Helen Tomys on August 18 in Ridgewood, N. J. Steve Jr. and Miss Tomys were the crew under Capt. Steve Sr. in many sailboat races. After a honeymoon at East Chatham on the Cape, the young couple will live in Ridgewood, N. J. Steve Jr. served three years in the Navy following his graduation from Colby College in 1952. He is associated with the New York Life Insurance Company. During the summer, Steve and Vi also went to Newport to see their other son, Elliott (Colgate '55), graduated from Officers Candidate School and commissioned an ensign in the Navy.
Stan and Catherine Miner saw their daughter Miss Catherine Sawyer Miner married to Roland Thomas Murphy. '55 at the West Side Presbyterian Church in Ridgewood, N. J., on June 24. The bride, a graduate of Mount Holyoke College, is a member of the faculty at Emma Willard School, Troy, N. Y., where her husband is also on the faculty.
Paul and Elizabeth Peters saw son Seaver, Dartmouth '54, married to Miss Sally Ann Stanford of Melrose, Mass., in the Unitarian Church at Melrose on June 30. Seaver's brother Paul was best man. The bride was graduated from the University of Maine in June. Seaver, known as Pete to his classmates and well remembered as a hockey player, is a lieutenant in the Air Force stationed at Otis Air Force Base.
Jack and Fran Dodd announce the engagement of their daughter, Miss Nancy Katherine Dodd, to Edwin Albert Horst, son of Mrs. Louis N. Horst of Amherst and Sunderland, Mass. and the late Mr. Horst. Nancy, a graduate of Wheelock College, is teaching in the East Orange school system. Mr. Horst, an Amherst graduate, served two years in the Army and is now with the Bell Telephone Labora tories.
So the summer went and now the football season is just around the corner.
Apropos the Harvard game, we have received the following cordial invitation from Bill and Odie Lee Bullen: "Twoters and their wives are cordially invited to the Bullens' home, 199 Collins Road, Waban (Newton), Mass., for punch and lunch before the Harvard game on October 27. If you can let us know that you are coming it will be helpful, but if you come to Boston on the spur of the moment don't hesitate to join us even though you haven't had the chance to give us advance notice. The time is 11:00 A.M. to 1:15 P.M. It takes about twenty minutes to drive from our house to the Stadium. Do come if you are in these parts that day. Odie Lee and I would like ever so much to have you."
Twoters going to the Yale game on November 3 can join classmates and families at a "bring your own" picnic lunch prior to the game by following these instructions received from Rex Malmquist:
New Yorkers: Leave the Parkway at Derby Ave. When you are almost at the Bowl cross Forest Road (still on Derby Ave.) and turn left into Central Ave. Turn left again into the parking lot. On your right is a big field house. Get as near to it as they will let you. Look for a 1922 marker on a pole.
New Englanders: Leave the Parkway at Dixwell Ave. Route 10. Follow Route 10 to Derby Ave. Turn right on Derby Ave., pass the Walter Camp Memorial Arch, turn right into Central Ave., turn left into the parking lot. On your right is a big field house. Get as near to it as you can. Look for the 1922 marker on a pole.
General Headquarters will be on the bank which is south of the field house, west of Central Ave. and north of Derby Ave.
Let's support our Captain Bob Rex and his Dartmouth team in every game we can get to this autumn.
Dean and Ex-Dean: Dean Joseph L. McDonald(left) at Class Day exercises with Lloyd K.Neidlinger '23, who enjoyed the luxury oflooking on without any worries.
