1922
The Class is fortunate in the acceptance by Carter Hoyt of the request to become our Head Class Agent on the Alumni Fund. Carter succeeds Jack Dodd who at the request of the Alumni Council is now Chairman of the Alumni Fund Committee. Carter brings excellent qualifications and long experience to the task. Well-known by all classmates he has always worked loyally on class and college activities. He has worked on the Fund for the past 38 years and for many years he spearheaded the activities in New England. In allegiance to the College and the Class all Twoters will naturally be happy to assist him. And most understandingly, Carter will be genuinely inspired by his Dartmouth family consisting of his gracious wife Alie, daughter of Herbert L. Trull 'OO, their son Carter Jr. '49, and daughters Barbara and Nancy who are loyal Dartmouth girls.
Seat-squirmers at the New Hampshire game in Hanover included Bob and Lois Booth, Bill and Odie Lee Bullen, Russ Putney, and Jack and Sylvia Taylor. Jack and Sylvia had spent some previous days enjoying early autumn in Hanover. Despite the nerve tingling contest no fainting occurred among classmates and wives.
Albert E. Cole retired from the New York Telephone Co. on July 12. Bert entered the Bell Telephone System a few weeks after his graduation from the College and had a career of 38 years chiefly in the Traffic Department of the New York Company. The best wishes of the Class accompany Bert and Hazel into the years ahead.
Bert was one of ten Twoters who entered the Bell System shortly after graduation. The others who are continuing their careers there are: Jack Dodd, Larry Healy, Stan Miner and Bill Morrell of the New York Telephone Co.; Harry Bruckner and Brews Marean of the New Jersey Bell Telephone Co.; Elmer Ardiff and Len Morrissey of the New England Telephone and Telegraph Co.; and Harold Wellman of the Bell Telephone Co. of Pennsylvania.
Sadly the Class has received belated notification of the death of Leo S. Hayes on January 31, 1959 in Tucson. Leo was with us during freshman year. He then transferred to MIT where he received his degree. He spent his career as a mining engineer in Peru and Argentina and more recently in Arizona. Records fail to indicate any known survivors but classmates will undoubtedly remember him as a freshman.
The candidacy of our civic minded Robert J. Clark to represent his district in the Connecticut General Assembly was stated during August. The Danbury press used the occasion to note some of Bob's many laudable qualifications. Classmates would add many more commendations, but here are a few excerpts:
Mr. Clark of the Hawleyville district has lived in Newtown since 1925 and his family has lived in the town since 1806. He is a graduate of Dartmouth (why do they fail to say in the great class of '22?). He is a former selectman and was a member of the Newtown Board of Education for fifteen years. He is a board member of the Booth Library and a member of the school building committee. He has run a farm in Newtown for thirty years. A former officer of the Newtown Savings Bank, he is an officer of the Peoples Savings Bank in Bridgeport. (And grossly negligent is the failure to add that Bob is the husband of charming Grace and they are the parents of Alex '55. Good luck, to Bob and Grace from all the clan.)
Richard G. Wood, chairman of the Vermont Civil War Centennial Committee, introduced Dr. Quincy Wright when the latter gave the feature address at a commemoration of Stephen A. Douglas and the Campaign of 1860. The commemoration at Brandon, Vt., included dedication of an historical marker at the home where Douglas was born in 1813.
Laurence C. Campbell at a meeting of the Barre, Vt., Rotary Club described the trip to Africa he and Elizabeth took last winter. Larry showed fellow Rotarians some of his many slides covering the trip from New York to Brussels, Libya, the Congo, the Union of South Africa, visiting Johannesburg and Cape Town, and then by safari to Basutoland. Over dirt roads they traveled 3,500 miles into the Congo. From there they flew to the Mount Kilimanjaro area and later continued on to Ethiopia, the Sudan, and down the Nile to Cairo. Before flying home they also visited the Holy Land, Athens, Rome, Paris and many other cities. Whew! Thank heavens Larry and Elizabeth got out of the Congo in time.
Charles S. Tapley was photographically front-paged a few months back by the Danvers (Mass.) Herald. The occasion was the 110th anniversary observance of the Danvers Savings Bank. Charlie, the great-grandson of Gilbert Tapley, first president of the bank in 1850, was shown making a presentation to a young lady.
Some of our braves and squaws have moved to new tepees: Harry W. Griswold, Route 1, Spider Lake, Hayward, Wis.; John C. Hazeltine, Commissioner, Community Facilities Administration, 1626 K. St., N.
