Mid-March brought the usual fine gathering of the clan at the Hanover Inn for the Twoters' annual little reunion. Classmates and wives included Bill and Odie Lee Bullen, Bob and Grace Clark, Haskell and Harriet Cohn, Carroll and Nan Dwight, Frank and Betty Horan, Carter and Alie Hoyt, Fran and Lucy Leland, Bill and Betty Mann, Olie and Elspeth Olsen, Walt and Doris Sands. Student sons John and Tony Horan, Walt Jr. and Bob Sands also joined the group. Eager to get back to Hanover, some of the Bostonians—the Bullens, Dwights, Hoyts and the Sands - went up a day early. The clan attended a reception in the new dormitories on Choate Road and also enjoyed seeing a large scale model of the new Dartmouth, the College as it is to be. As customary the weekend was marked by the comradeship and relaxation that make these little reunions so thoroughly enjoyable.

Congratulations to Modie Spiegel and chalk up another honor for our class. Modie has recently been elected president of the Dartmouth Alumni Council of Chicago.

Thanks to Steve Kenyon and his highly interesting newsletter, our Twoter, we have all read the letter from classmate Phya Donavanik Montri, our dean of Dartmouth men in Thailand. Because Don had many friends in contemporary classes, they also would undoubtedly be interested. Hence these excerpts:

I have just been back from Europe. I went there to attend the Navigation Congress and the International Savings Bank in London and Ostend respectively. And when I came home I resigned the position of Chairman of the Port Authority of Thailand. Now I am more or less free because the Port work was very bad because I had to do the whole organization for three years and also to do away with corruption which was in vogue at that time. I am still Chairman of the Bangkok Metropolitan Bank, Commissioner of Thai State Railways and Honorary Advisor to the Government Savings Bank.

I have five children, two boys and three girls. They are all men and women now and they are all married, so I think at times I wish to live in retirement, but all my friends want me to work still.

A few months ago, Jim and Gladys Rutherford '24 of Novelty, Ohio, passed through Bangkok and they came to see me. I gave them a Thai dinner and took them out to see the country. They have had a wonderful time. I hope you and your family are all well.

Bob Clark has been appointed manager in charge of a busy new branch of the People's Saving Bank of Bridgeport, Conn. The new bank is located in a rapidly growing section near the Bridgeport-Stratford boundary. Congratulations and the very best to you, Bob.

What's happened - only one change of address this month - are we really settlin' down? Steve and Reine Tredennick are now settled in their new Beacon Hill home: 56 Chestnut St., Boston.

Children's corner - to avoid violent objections, hope none of them read that — but the fact remains that the progenies of our clan are doing many things of interest to the original Indians and Squaws. The Hanover sector is busy. As captain of the Dartmouth tennis team, Bill Bullen Jr. is spending Easter vacation in the "sunny" South leading the team in seven matches as preparation for the Northern schedule of fourteen matches. John Horan completed a successful season with the College squash team, winning eight of his eleven matches. Brother Tony Horan is active in dramatic work at the College. Walt Sands Jr. is with the Glee Club on its spring tour - as Walt Sr. was of yore - and brother Bob Sands is on the Lacrosse team. Away from Hanover, Anne Bullen (Mrs. Warren C. Bosworth) and her husband together with son and daughter are on the move from Tuckahoe, N.Y., to Panama City, Canal Zone. The three Dartmouth sons of Gene and Jeanette Hotchkiss are busily building careers. Son Frank who after graduation from the College attended the graduate school of city planning at M.I.T. and the University of Zurich, has been appointed an associate in the architectural firm of Victor Gruen Associates. Frank will be senior planner and co-ordinator for his firm in charge of the St. Paul, Minn., Urban Revitalization Project and a 5,000-acre master planning study for Caracas, Venezuela. Gene Jr. is working for his Ph.D. at Cornell and will go into college administrative work next fall. Jim is with Stein, Roe and Farnham, Chicago investment counselors. Nancy Hoyt will be graduated from the Eliot Pearson School at Tufts in June preparatory to teaching. John Morrissey is with I.B.M. in San Francisco and Charles is across the bay at Berkeley studying at the University of California. Ted Spiegel '53 is associated with Modie in Spiegel, Inc., in Chicago. Ted is Head Class Agent for '53. Thus tempus fugit.

This spring all Twoters will hear either from the workers on the Capital Gifts Campaign for the College or from Jack Dodd and his class agents on the Alumni Fund. None of us will hear from both sources but all will hear from one or the other. In either case it is Dartmouth in need of your help and your loyalty.
