1922

Twoters never were given to bragging. In college, ours was a small war-torn class. Since then the clan has generally been content to let the record speak for itself. But, when the bells ring with pride we can't help hearing. Now hear this: 83 of our classmates have pledged or given $353,187 to Dartmouth's Capital Gifts Campaign. That puts '22 in second place among all Dartmouth classes. Not bad for a gang that as Hanover undergraduates had only two sputtering jalopies and one synthetic fur coat. And the rest of the clan have heard the tocsin. They won't let Dartmouth down.

In Hanover on October 24, Bill Bullen saw Prexy Hopkins drive a green and white draped bulldozer to demolish an old building thereby signaling the start of construction on the Hopkins Center. Lest Twoters get ideas, Hoppy is not available for further bulldozing: his Bulldozer Operator's Permit was good for only 24 hours. Many classicists in our clan will appreciate the inscription on the blades of Hoppy's bulldozer: "Initium rapidissimum in tertium saeculum Dartmuthiense." For gray flannel classmates, Bill Bullen says it means "A Running Start into Dartmouth's Third Century."

Our George D. Busher has been appointed a trustee of Fordham University. Following graduation with us, Chick received his LL.B. from Fordham Law School in 1926. He is vice president of the real estate firm of Eugene J. Busher, Inc. in the Bronx where he is also a trustee of the Bronx Savings Bank, former president of the Bronx Board of Trade and 1957 Bronx chairman of the Greater New York Fund. Congratulations from the clan, Chick.

Twoters back to Hanover for the Penn game: Bob Booth, Jack Dodd, Tony Hanlon, Gene Hotchkiss, Killie Kilmarx, Phil Kimball, Bill Rex and Len Morrissey. Many were accompanied by good looking young women in their early thirties but it is hoped these class wives will excuse the scribal oversight of not being listed this once. With the 13-12 score one had to keep his bifocals on the gridiron.

At Brown in Providence were Elmer and Frances Ardiff, Haskell and Harriett Cohn, Dick Litchfield, your scribe and scribess.

Frank and Dorothy Hutchins report a most pleasant visit with King and Annie Lee Fauver at the Holy Cross game in Hanover. The Fauvers are indeed a Dartmouth family with sons John '50, Scribner '53, and Louis '61, and daughter Mary Lee at Smith. Frank says King, our Elyria, O., lawyer and director of the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland, looks the same as in the 1922 Aegis. Why can't we all look that way?

Years ago said we'd never do it again but we did. Sitting in the doleful rain at Harvard were Haskell and Harriett Cohn, Len and Margaret Morrissey, Walt and Doris Sands and daughter Sylvia escorted by a Harvard student.

Before the Harvard game the Dwights - Carroll, Nan and daughter Susan — had a delightful get-together: Gray and Dorothy Bates with Egil and Judie Stigum '56, Bill and Odie Lee Bullen, Bob and Grace Clark, Haskell and Harriett Cohn, Carl and Maggie Davis, Alie Hoyt and daughter Nan (Carter was out of town), Fran and Lucy Leland - married just 35 years ago, Len and Margaret Morrissey, Walt and Doris Sands with sons Frank '58 and Bob '59 accompanied by Celi Marsters (youngest daughter of Al Marsters '30) of Dana Hall and by Julie Bryant of Skidmore, and Dr. Dick and Doris Stetson.

Walt and Doris Sands hied off to Newport, R. I., in late October to see son Frank '58 receive his commission as an ensign in the Navy. He is now assigned to the Chief of Naval Operations at the Pentagon. Son Bob '59, a senior at Tuck School, is Colonel of the Dartmouth ROTC regiment. He was awarded the citation of distinguished military student last summer at Camp Devens. With daughter Sylvia a freshman at Vassar, Walt and Doris now have only the cat and the dog at home.

New addresses:

Rev. Richard F. Beyer, 38 Bank St., St. Albans, Vt,; Franklin H. Dow, 1080 Edgewood, Jacksonville 5, Fla.; George S. Hawley, Director of Industrial Relations, The Ray Bestos Div., 75 East Main St., Stratford, Conn., or 232 Golden Hill St., Bridgeport 4, Conn.; John P. Mathews, 6401 Eli Drive, Tucson, Ariz.; John R. Salmonsen, 4742 Hazel Ave., Philadelphia 43, Penna.; Louis A. Thomas, Manager, Technical Services, Astro-Electronic Products Div., Radio Corp. of America, Princeton, N.J., or Edgewater Park, Beverly, N. J.

When changes of address arrive from the college as bald notices (any consanguinity with baldness being completely coincidental) one never knows whether the classmates involved have been dispossessed, promoted, capital gainers, or retired. Maybe some of the migratory Twoters might write and let us in on the secret. Meanwhile, good luck to all at their new abodes.

Merry Christmas to all the clan including, of course, parents, wives, children, in-laws, and especially to our class grandchildren.
