1918

Prof. Bob Fish (Quick Lunch, he once said about it: "I ran a rather lucrative course review business as the best way of cramming for my own exams"), whom Gov. Osborn of" Arizona appointed to the Arizona Power Authority Commission, and who talks of the enjoyable cook-out at the Johnny Johnston's some weeks back, with Evie and Pete Colwell and Miriam Morrison, was in and out of N. Y. City Medical Center, in six days, after a routine operation on his elbows relieving irritation. Momentarily in N. Y. City, and with the city's climate the big question mark, Mildred and Bob are liquid enough to jump to Florida or the West Indies for the cold months. The old master was the healthiest looking man at '18s N. Y. City dinner Oct. 25.

The Duke is in - elected without electioneering, for he was in the Hitchcock Hospital but now is fine with a brand new stomach. While Fat Hardie (was in Hanover around time of Holy Cross game) and Ed Healy (played on Hallas' Chicago Bears, later pres. of their alumni) were together a while back, they got in a mood to talk with the Duke - grabbed the phone — no answer on the Hanover end.

While in Hanover, for the Columbia game, Jake Ringham took in Shaw's "Getting Married" in which his daughter Jane had the star role. She'll be the triple star next June when she marries and leaves Hanover - the lucky guy is Dick Fawcett '57. How wonderful for Jake's wife, Ruth. Happy to say (recovering slowly from a heart attack last summer), she received a testimonial from the Squirrel Islanders for the work that she'd done gratis for the last 10 years for the Booth Bay Record with an interesting weekly column. She deserved the ten U.S. Savings Bonds and the handsome leather filing case. Congratulations, Ruth.

The class extends sympathy to Bill Bemis, whose wife Alice passed away Oct. 12. Bill, a partner of the distinguished Cleveland law firm, Baker, Hostettler and Paterson, and long devoted to the best interests of the College, serving on the Alumni Council, has in recent years given much of his time to the famed Flamingo Hotel on Biscayne Bay, Florida of which he is Pres.... We received a card from Frederick Howard, brother of George E. Howard, ex '18, who passed away July 85.

1918 dinners in New York City (HarveyHood, Fat Sheldon, Eric Ball, Nuts Pool and Fats Hardie have promised to take in one or more of these) are on Jan. 17, Feb. 28 (with wives, delightful pictures of undergrad. days) and April 24. About 40 classes have gone over two years without any meetings in New York City, — loyal '18ers, however, look forward to, and enjoy, the five '18 dinners each year.... Betty and Ed Booth honeymooned in Bermuda last June, and with Ed on sabbatical, they plan, after Christmas to head for Europe and work over the Continent pretty carefully.

Andy Ross, up at Vermont Academy recently, enjoyed seeing Ed Booth and bride Betty, whose son also attends the Academy. Ed must be very happy; his son Phil '47 won the 1956 Lamont Poetry Selections of the Academy of American Poets with his collection of lyric poems entitled "Letters From a Distant Land." Phil is doing an outstanding job in the English Dept. at Wellesley College, has an M.A. from Columbia.

Helen Colby (feeling much better too) with Bill Colby enjoyed tremendously the tour of their Wellesley daughters, Cynthia and Ann, through England, Scotland, France, Spain and Italy. Bill has been reappointed to the Chairmanship of State Board of Public Welfare; reelected as Secretary of the N. H. Bar Assn., and Delegate to Am. Bar Asso., also member of 1956 N. H. Constitutional Convention, and Secy, to Natl. Conference Convention on Uniform State laws. Bill had a nice visit with Lymie Burgess (looks forward to practising law beginning now for next 20 yrs.) some months back, and did look forward to seeing some '18ers at the A.B.A. meeting in Dallas last Sept.

The man whose college record indicates he "did a little track, some tennis, active in DCA," and who, since retirement from Norfolk County Agricultural School, Walpole, Mass. (served for 25 yrs. as Head of English Dept.), was recently relaxing at Portsmouth, N. H., as a part-time teacher, has been named Head of English Dept. at Sanborn Seminary. That's our own Les Brown - and Les was the old roomy of Clint Carvell, Ray Barrett, George Daniels, Bugs Wallis, and Dick White - who wrote to over 400 former students of his while in service in World War II; and did an outstanding job. Not only does George Moulton Davis congratulate you, Les, but '18 is proud of the job you have done.

It was rare, good fortune for the Class of 1918 to enjoy (through his old friend SteveMahoney) the friendship of Spike Puryear. Spike attended Colorado U. one year, and Chicago U. for one year; played football, basketball, boxed, and wrestled. (He and Christgau in a slow motion wrestling match held Princetonians spellbound, in N. Y. City one night). During the years when Spike was Ass't to the Pres. of a huge Texas Co., we enjoyed his company immensely. His wife Winifred passed away a few years back, and in 1952 Spike wrote us that after he had been ill most of the time for seven years, the doctors discovered he had been walking around with a badly broken spine. Well, Stan Jones enjoyed Spike, and Spike enjoyed Stan. Some months back, Stanley sent him the book "Bugles and a Tiger" - and Spike's comment in a short reply, was "I have learned that position and large income are not essential. So many of the things I thought were important, now seem to be rather silly. I still face an uphill battle, but am not too discouraged. One of the things that has kept me going is the continuing loyalty and friendship of men like you. I consider I'm very rich because of my friends."

As of 10.4.56 Spike says, in part, "I have been forced to enter the Prescott Community Hospital. My broken spine has healed, but arthritis has taken its place 1 am in great pain most of the time, and my doctor hopes this can be corrected by exercise. I may have to go to some good sanitorium in California. ... I made a new will in which I left a substantial part of my assets to Dartmouth, and I also sent the Alumni Fund a small check. From here on, it looks as if I will need my income to take care of my personal requirements - I know you and my other classmates will understand." Got a minute? Want to drop Spike a little note or postcard? It's Evard S. Puryear, c/o Prescott Community Hospital, Prescott, Arizona. If Spike never leaves a dime to Dartmouth, he will have well repaid all of us with the joy of his friendship. But think of him — not a Dartmouth man, yet wanting to do so much for Dartmouth College! Are we who have shared the rich comradeship of a Dartmouth heritage any less loyal?

Thoughtful Bill Christgau went to the Chi Phi house and dug up young Cliff Daniels, and took him to dinner at the Hanover Inn, and was big Cliff touched! His letter — "... I must not only thank you for feeding him, at the Inn (the kind of a meal I'm sure he certainly doesn't buy for himself), but must also say that I think that's one of the nicest gestures I have heard of in a long time.... I'm getting a great kick out of watching the one grandchild with whom my daughter has presented me, grow up. She, however, won't be going to Dartmouth unless Dartmouth goes the way of Harvard and becomes panty-waist enough to admit girls." Adeline and Cliff, and maybe daughter Catherine will be on next June at Hanover to see young Cliff get his diploma. Maybe we'll have the pleasure of seeing you in New York, Cliff?

And A Report To The Class, which Dick White, '18's Bequest Chairman, sent out Nov. 5 also seemed like a great masterpiece. Says Dick, in part, "We would guess that a minimum of $250,000 and a maximum of $400,000 is in sight, from our class." How wonderful it would be if '18ers cooperate as much as they possibly can with Dick White, so the College may some day be able to do for others what it has done for us.

At the '18 dinner N. Y. City, last Oct. 25 were Red Wilson (V.P. and Dir. of Tri-Continental Financial Corp., son Dixie started at Berkshire this fall and likes it) and Marty Straus (says the six-week response to Tintain's offer for direct-mail purchase by TV was so great that it was decided to go into a heavy merchandising campaign with TV spots being bought up as fast as available). Others at the N.Y. City '18 dinner were Russ Smith (son is a freshman at William and Mary),, Dan Shea (led the huddle with cupped ears, listening to Bob Fish), Ned Ross, HowiePark (he happened to be in N. Y. City that night - maybe in a week's time he was in Alaska or Venezuela), Paul Miner (with Helen arrived Oct. 12, on Stanley Jones' 57th birthday, thoughtfully presenting him with a small gift, as the writer and Dan Shea sat by and cheered), Wart McElwain, Foxy Grandpa Bob Knowles (old roomy of EddieMader - we'd like to see the old so and so), and Johnny Johnston (just back from his mills in the Carolinas with Anne, where they enjoyed plenty of golf).

Setting the fashion as a stooge of Brooks Bros, (bringing back the vest) was highly groomed Quick-Lunch Prof. Bob Fish. Also groomed to the teeth, sporting a vest, was Gerry Geran, whose health habits are a good influence on the '18ers who drink too much coffee and 7-Up. Others at the dinner were Roger Howland, class chorister (and that covers all who appeared in vests), Henry Hesse (used part of his vacation flying to Denver where daughters Alice and Barbara are in business; had a nice chat with Chuck Hilliker, and Johnnie Cunningham on the phone; they were off hunting), Bob Hebert (what a man at piano after a bottle of 7-up), and V.P. and Comptroller of the E.N.Y. Savings Bank - the man who's kept 1918 as one of the topnotch classes for giving the most to Dartmouth College - RichardArthur Holton.

Something was wrong at that dinner, and it wasn't long before everyone was asking, "Where's Chris?" Soon the phone rang - good old Chris ringing from Waban, Mass. He'd been to Hanover and was going to Harvard for the '18 dinner there.... Everybody's been wondering when we'll see the slimdowned figure of Pete Colwell we've missed so long!

A wonderful time was had by everyone at the Harvard game weekend. Attending the '18 dinner at the University Club, the game, the cocktail party after the game, and the Blinstrub's party, were Catherine and Doc Angell, Milly and Stan Bates,Betty and Ray Baldes, Elizabeth and Hort Chandler, and daughter Rosemary (Harvey Horton Chandler was sick so Sandy Piper Chandler and her mother and Lord Admiral Roberts were there), Edith and Dick Cooley, guests Mr. and Mrs.Coggeshall, and Lois, Marge and Phil Boynton,Don Davis, John Donohue, Kathy and Ed Ferguson, Ken Jones, Walt Fuller, who promises to be back at the reunion in 1958, Caroline and Chaunce Hood's son Billy Hood, and his New Hampton pal Roger Hyde, Cort Horr and CarlRay '37, and Twink Stowell H '14 (and D '18 honorary) with his wife, Barbara and Harvey Hood (Harvey, however, missed the '18 dinner at the University Club - the first Harvey ever missed — he was entertaining the Trustees of Dartmouth College), Alice and Louis Huntoon and their guests, Mr. and Mrs. Voorhees, Hazeland Ed McDowell, and friends, Helen and NipperKnapp, and son Norm Jr., Bobby White and Sarah, Carol and Em Morse, Beer Baron ReedMontgomery (has sold out) and Hitty and sonTom, Priscilia and Tom Shirley, Edith and lucky Stub Stanley, Hubie McDonough, Charlie McCarthy, Bob Shirley, Johnny Campbell and RussMonroe.
