1922
With cymbals we proclaim no less than ten class sons presently representing '22 on the Hanover Plain. We claim one graduate student, one senior, three juniors, four sophomores and a single freshman. (Have to be careful with that word "single" concerning today's college boys and girls. Some of us antiquarians have heard mention that times have changed. But we're sure our freshman is really single.) Robert G. Sands '59 is our graduate student studying for his M.B.A. at Tuck. Bob lives at 201 Chase Hall. Our senior representative is Harry Bruckner Jr., 303 Woodward. The juniors are Louis B. Fauver, 410 Russell Sage; Anthony H. Horan, 210 Woodward; and David W. Zuckerman, 5 Lord. The sophomores are Charles F. Henderson, 425 Topliff; Alden James Jr., 305 South Fayerweather; John E. Mann, 204 Streeter; and Joseph F. Sackett, 111 Hitchcock. Our freshman is Richard P. Suttmeier, 108 Topliff. Now that you know who they are and where they live, sometime when you are in Hanover why not drop in and say hello. Or better still, to realize certain things remain unchanged, invite some of them to dinner at the Inn. They might accept. But don't invite any bill-paying parents to a meal at the Inn. They'd not only accept, they'd overeat.
Class Chairman Bill Bullen, according to one of greater Boston's better gazettes, the "Newton Graphic," was an unusually busy fellow the third week of January. That was National YMCA week, and Bill is vice-president of the Newton YMCA and chairman of its public relations committee. The Graphic said Bill and his colleagues had arranged a busy schedule of special events and attractions for the week. This is another facet of Bill's unsparing interest and work in causes that benefit others.
A warm welcome from the clan to Bob Dewey's wife who prior to their wedding was Elizabeth Mann Boswell. Bob and Libby, who is Mt. Holyoke '23, were married in Rio de Janeiro where Bob is resident vice-president of the American Motorists Insurance Company. Good luck from all of us to you two.
Baylcck Atherton, says the "Nashua Independent," has celebrated the twenty-fifth anniversary of his association with the New England Mutual Life Insurance Co. Blay is president of the New Hampshire Society of Sons of the American Revolution, past president of the New Hampshire Senate, past president of the Nashua Rotary Club, and a 33rd degree Mason. With their three daughters and eight grandchildren, Blay and Kay last autumn also celebrated their thirty-fifth wedding anniversary.
All of us will appreciate the following excerpt from a note written for Ham Spiers' family by his wife Jeannette: "I can't think of anything that would have pleased Paul more than the thoughtfulness of the Class of 1922 in contributing to a fund to purchase a book for the College Library with Paul's name inscribed on the bookplate. Will you please extend our grateful appreciation for this loving tribute."
Concerning the Memorial Book Program we all know, of course, — or do we? - that when a classmate passes away the class secretary notifies the Director of Special Collections at Baker Library and sends a memorial card to our classmate's wife or family. The card says: "In the Name of Our Beloved Classmate (name inscribed) the Class of 1922 has contributed to a Fund for the Purchase of Rare and Beautiful Books to be placed in the Dartmouth College Library; A Suitable Volume will carry our Classmate's Name inscribed upon its Bookplate as a Living Memorial." Contributions to this Memorial Book Program are made from our class dues which also pay our subscriptions to the ALUMNI MAGAZINE.
Thin as a blade of young grass is this month's new address department: Francis H. Horan, 179 East 70th St., New York 21, N. Y.; John L. Merrill, Hunterville Ave., Rye, N. H. But wait 'til wild geese have the moon on their wings again, then more of our lads and lassies will wander once more.
Of many compliments to our class, one of the nicest came from a classmate's good wife after she had returned home from our 1959 Little Reunion at the Hanover Inn. She wrote: "What many happy hours we have had with 1922. We are very fortunate to have such a congenial, merry class. I feel I am part of it too." That testimonial - name of donor furnished upon request - says all there is to say about these annual informal gatherings at the Inn. This year our Little Reunion will be on April 22 and 23. Don't stay away be- cause your wife can't come with you. Get a note from her and you'll be returned intact. But she'll be missing a lot of fun if she lets you solo. Last year we had seventeen wives in the group. This year we hope for more. For reservations the telephone at the Inn is Hanover 410.
