1922
Jack Dodd's election as president of the Dartmouth Class Agents Association at the Class Officers meeting in Hanover during May highly honors our clan. All Twoters will delight in the nominating committee's citation:
In two years under the leadership of Jack Dodd the class of 1922 has .turned in spectacular (Alumni Fund) performances, increasing from just over $15,000 given in 1955 to some $22,000 contributed last year. The number of contributors has also risen in each of the last two campaigns and in both 1956 and 1957, under Jack Dodd's energetic leadership, the class of 1922 has set class records in both participation and dollars.
Congratulations, Jack, and Twenty-Two Up!
Bill and Odie Lee Bullen, Carroll andNan Dwight, Steve and Vi Kenyon, Len and Margaret Morrissey represented the class at the meetings. As usual the discussions were informative, inspirational and most enjoyable.
Twoters are naturally taking an active part in the Capital Gifts Campaign. Bill Bullen is Special Gifts Chairman for the Greater Boston Area. Steve Kenyon is a Division Chairman for Manhattan. Stan Miner is a Team Chairman for northern New Jersey. GeneHotchkiss is on the Executive Committee and Modie Spiegel is on the Leadership Gifts Committee in Chicago. Many other classmates are also serving loyally.
Johnny Johnson is receiving community honors. He was immediately designated first choice as next president of the board of education in Pelham, N. Y., when the citizens' nominating committee learned the present incumbent would retire. Johnny will be elected to the school board presidency - if the community appreciates him as his classmates do - in balloting at the annual school meeting in May. Johnny and Betty with sons John '50, and Edward and daughter Mary have lived in Pelham for 22 years. Johnny's business headquarters are in New York where he is assistant to the chairman of the board of the U. S. Rubber Co.
Bob Booth and his associates in the well known law partnership of Wyman, Starr, Booth, Wadleigh and Langdell in Manchester, N. H., have changed the firm name and moved to a new location. The name of the partnership is now Booth, Wadleigh, Langdell, Starr and Peters. The firm also moved from 45 Market St., Manchester, to a new building at 95 Market St. With several good sons of Eleazar in the partnership its professional talent is, of course, obvious but Twoters naturally can't resist pride in seeing the name of classmate Bob at the head of the batting order.
Thomas J. Byrne - our Tom - will retire this June from his position as Superintendent of Schools in Windsor, Vt. Tom has dedicated 36 years to teaching and has been superintendent for 23 years. All classmates honor Tom for the work he has done and our best wishes accompany him.
As president of the Vermont Bar Association, our photogenic Federal Judge Sterry Waterman looking keen, alert and congenial as always, was recently pictured in several Vermont papers.
Ralph Reid has written to Johnny Johnson an interesting account of a Carribbean and South American safari the Reids enjoyed this spring. From Jamaica, Ralph sent best wishes to all Twoters.
Twoters with new addresses are: Raymond P. Atwood, 19 Edgefield Road, Waban 68, Mass.; Thomas N. Barrows, Route 2, Box 2, Carmel, Calif.; William J. Delaney, 38 Howe St., North Haven, Conn.; Earl Fredericks, c/o Irving E. Stroh, 157 Church St., New Haven, Conn.; Stephen H. Tredennick, President and Treasurer, Tredennick Co., Inc., 5 Whitney St., Saugus, Mass., or 56 Chestnut St., Boston, Mass.; Charles E. Townsend, Schneider Cardon, Ltd., 1224 St. Catherine St., West Montreal, Canada; Norton R. Younglove, 5132 Ballard Ave., Seattle 7, Wash. Happy landings to all.
With victories over Army, Penn, Colgate and Williams and a lone loss to Princeton the tennis team captained by class son Bill Bullen Jr. is having a fine season. The Williams match, a close 5-4 affair, evoked praise from the daily Dartmouth: "Paced by the strong performance of Bill Bullen the Indians nipped the hard playing Ephmen." When the Dartmouth thus praises, nothing can be added.
The clan shares another high honor - again reported by the Dartmouth — in the election of class son John R. Horan '59 as president of the Inter-fraternity Council for next year. His duties include running the weekly meetings and general supervision of the Council's activities. John is also president of Alpha Delta Phi for his senior year.
Another class son, John Mann - Bill andBetty Mann - will enter the College in the class of '62 this September.
At the Hanover meetings all classes discussed the scope and quality of class notes in these columns. As a result your scribe is going to make an honest effort henceforth to improve and to condense our class notes. 'T won't be easy 'cause improvement doesn't come naturally in the late fifties. But if in dotage we can veer away from anecdotage and nostalgia, maybe more news can be presented with less verbiage. Printing costs for these class notes are high and words are expensive - about ten times more so than in our Twoter, Steve Kenyon's excellent and eagerly read newsletter from which we'll continue to get all the class news. Any thought of class prestige being indicated by the relative quantity of notes from a particular class in these columns is economically questionable. Ours was never one of the larger classes. We only claim unsurpassed loyalty to the College. So don't shoot the scribe if he tries to practice word economy. See what we mean about clarity and conciseness — just wish us luck and hope for some improvement - but don't expect too much.
Happy summerin' to all the clan but you'll enjoy it more if you first consider and act for Dartmouth and her needs.
Secretary, 46 Myrtle St. West Newton 65, Mass.
Class Agent, Apt. 3-G, 5 Roosevelt PL, Montclair, N.J.
