1922
Where, oh where, did summer go? Streaked by like a jet and now the leaves are colorful and the twilights are crisp again in Hanover.
Most regretfully, class notes for the new academic year begin with sad news. We have lost three classmates: Harry Aronson, Russ Barton and Ralph Reid. In case you did not see the notices, their deaths were reported In Memorian in the July issue. The class will miss Harry, Russ and Ralph and we all share deeply in bereavement with their families and friends.
The clan rejoices in the election of two classmates to the Dartmouth Alumni Council. Jack Dodd, last year's president of the Dartmouth Class Agents Association, has been elected to the Council as a member at large for a three year term. Jack will serve on the Council Committee of the Alumni Fund. Wally Mountcastle, Secretary of the Dartmouth Club of Greater Miami, has been elected as a representative of the southern states for a two-year term. Wally will serve on the Council Committee of enrollment admissions. Congratulations to Jack and Wally from all Twoters.
Thanks to Frank Horan and Dick Wood comes the report that Prof. Herb West received a top award from the Chicago Book Clinic at its annual exhibition of bookmaking last spring. "For a Hudson Biographer" written and illustrated by Herb won the citation. Naturalist and novelist, William Henry Hudson (1841-1922) wrote "Green Mansions," "Little Boy Lost" and many other books. Published by Westholm Press, Herb's book contains hitherto unpublished material about Hudson, including correspondence with R. B. Cunninghame Graham and others, his will and the genealogy of the Hudson family many of whom spent their lives in Argentina. This is the ninth book Herb has published.
Congratulations from the class to our George D. Busher. His appointment as a trustee of Fordham University has been reported in New York papers. Following graduation from Dartmouth Chick, as Twoters know him, received his law degree from Fordham. This recent appointment adds another honor to his many administrative and civic distinctions. Besides being vice president of Eugene J. Busher, Inc., 349 East 149 th St., New York, Chick is a director and former president of the Bronx Real Estate Board and the Bronx Board of Trade. He is also a member of the advisory board of directors of the Manufacturer's Trust Co., a trustee of the Bronx Savings Bank, former director of the New York Chapter of the American Red Cross, honorary chairman of the New York City Department of Commerce and chairman of the advisory board of the Bronx Community College. The clan takes pride in Chick's accomplishments and in his deep loyalty to Dartmouth.
Several families of the clan had sons receiving degrees last June. Frank and BettyHoran, Walt and Doris Sands and Sterry andFrances Waterman proudly endured Hanover's coldest Commencement Day seeing their sons receive bachelor's degrees. John Horan will go on to Yale Law School. Bob Sands, who in receiving his commission as a second lieutenant was cited for the highest military honors in his class, will return to Tuck School. Tom Waterman was commissioned an ensign and will serve in the Navy. Ken and Mildred Lynde saw son Edward receive his degree at Brown. And three class sons are known to have received their master's degrees: Donald Aronson from Columbia Graduate School of Business, John Blunt from Tuck-Thayer, and Alex Clark from Harvard Business School.
At the meeting of the Class Secretaries Association in Hanover last May, our Frank A. Hutchins was reelected a member of the Advisory Board of the ALUMNI MAGAZINE for a second term of three years.
New Hampshire papers report "James A. Hamilton of Minneapolis, an authority on hospital administration and widely known Dartmouth alumnus, has been elected a trustee of the Tilton School." Also a late August report places Jim and Sally in Hanover with Sally recovering from illness from which complete convalescence is hoped long before these notes reach print.
Ten of our clan at least are still agile enough to move about and to acquire new addresses:
Howard P. Almon, 5820 Wilshire Blvd., Los Angeles 36, Calif.; John E. Blunt, Room 1180, 208 South LaSalle St., Chicago 4, Ill.; James V. Carroll, c/o Jack Conway & Co., Hingham Square, Hingham, Mass., or 8 Brown Ave., Third Cliff, Scituate, Mass.; W. Carl Davis, 46 Beach St., Cohasset, Mass.; James W. Martin, 714 - 31st St., West Bradenton, Fla.; Will F. Nicholson, 655 Vine St., Denver 6, Colo.; N. Osborne Siegfried, 6 North Pearl St., Buffalo 2, N. Y.; Charles S. Tapley, C. R. Tapley Insurance Co., 88 Pearl St., Boston, Mass., or 30 Washington St., Danvers, Mass.; Ray Wason, 409 Somerset Ave., Taunton, Mass.; Norton P. Younglove, 206 Homemaker Center, Bellevue, Wash.
And one of these days some enterprising Twoter's going to send in an address from Alaska.
For once, had enough news this month to say a lot more but had to put some of it in the icebox. Got a hankerin' to see some good football? Watch the Big Green.
Class President Charlie Rice '23 with wife Jean, second to none in Dartmouth loyalty.
