1922
Regretfully, class notes once again start with sad news. As reported more fully IN MEMORIAM, we lost two classmates when Dick Cole died in early January at his home in Philadelphia and Dr. Lloyd Fogg passed away in late February at the Newton-Wellesley ley (Mass.) Hospital.
With Jim Hamilton and family all of us sadly join in bereavement at the loss of his beloved wife, Sabra Martin Hamilton, who passed away February 11 at the University of Minnesota Hospital, Minneapolis. Funeral services were conducted February 13 at the Plymouth Congregational Church, Minneapolis lis, and burial services were held February 17 in Hanover at the Church of Christ. Sally, whom many of us knew and admired, and Jim were married in August, 1934. For the past several years they made their home at 330 Prospect Ave., Minneapolis. Their three daughters are now Mrs. John Sweetland of Minneapolis; Mrs. Walter J. McNerny of Ann Arbor, and Mrs. James S. Mott of Hudson Falls, N.Y. Sally is also survived by eleven grandchildren. Sally is memorialized by the Sabra M. Hamilton Foundation, 425 Harvard St., S.E., Minneapolis, Minn. At the services in Hanover, Olie and Elspeth Olsen represented the class.
From the "Plainfield (N.J.) Courier-News" comes good tidings of Dr. Norm Crane. Excerpt: "Dr. Norman T. Crane, retired president of the Plainfield Board of Health, was honored for his work at a testimonial dinner. He was highly praised for his service during ten years on the board including three as its president. In a plaque presented to Dr. Crane he was extolled for his 'unsparing efforts to improve the lot of his fellowmen' and for his 'unselfishness in giving his time to board work.'" Congratulations, Norm, and thanks Bill Morrell, for sending in the news.
For marked success achieved with The Friends of the Dartmouth Library, Prof. Herb West has been warmly complimented by President John Dickey. Herb is director, secretary, and guiding light of this unpublicized group of 400 men and women, some of whom have no connection with the College. With the sole purpose of enriching Baker Library with priceless originals and rare books that would not otherwise be obtained, Herb started this activity over twenty years ago when he enlisted the interest of many friends and alumni. Since then, rare books, documents, and letters worth hundreds of thousands of dollars have found their way to the Library through the Friends. The group pays its own way through membership fees and the material presented has cost the College nothing except the expense of cataloguing. As President Dickey said, "Since 1938, thanks largely to the efforts of Professor West, the Dartmouth library has had friends with a capital 'F' whose aspirations for it are matched only by their resourcefulness and their generosity. Fortunate is the college with such a library and such a library with such friends."
It was far from an unlucky number for '22 at the annual dinner of the Boston Alumni Association in February at the Hilton-Statler: Gray Bates, Bill and Odie Lee Bullen, Haskell and Harriett Cohn, Carroll and Nan Dwight, Carter and Alie Hoyt, Fran and Lucy Leland, Walt and Doris Sands. Count them, but not even minor dyspepsia reported.
Elmer Ardiff recently returned from a business meeting with good news of our Bruckners: Harry and Margaret and their children, Harry Jr. and Barbara, are all reported in good health and happy. Harry Jr. is a Dartmouth senior and Barbara is a Mt. Holyoke junior. Even the oldest grandpa in our clan would admit that a Dartmouth senior with a sister at Mt. Holyoke is a man to be envied. And the grandmas in our class might agree that a Mt. Holyoke girl with a brother in Hanover is definitely distingué. But let's get off the College Highway and get back to the parents, Harry and Margaret. They recently enjoyed a Mediterranean cruise proving that happiness is not confined to "when you are sixteen going on seven-teen." For the record it should be clearly stated that Dartmouth-Mt. Holyoke relationships were not part of the agenda at the business meeting where Ard and Harry got together.
Happy springtime news about the Miners- Stan and Catherine have announced the engagement of their daughter, Constance, to Robert C. Rhines, son of Dr. and Mrs. Chester E. Rhines of Glen Rock, N.J. The young couple are both graduates of Ridgewood (N. J.) High School and are now college seniors, Connie at Mt. Holyoke and Bob at Dartmouth. Best wishes from the clan to the two of them.
Proletarian comrades - that's you, you and yuh-it is regrettable to report suspicion of deviationism in the clan. Nig Hayes has let us down. Completely lacking the intolerable situation of possible envy within party ranks, Nig's obvious success as vice-president of the First National Bank and Trust Company of Oklahoma City has been generously accepted by all comrades. But when one of our class admits he's not as young as he used to be, that calls for consideration by our supreme soviet. And that is exactly what Nig did in the Saturday Evening Post of February 27. He is quoted in an article "Oasis for Golfers." subtitled "A million-dollar-a-month building boom keeps once-quiet Palm Springs, Calif., growing. Here golfing addicts can live in luxury almost on the fairways." The first of these attractive country clubs with eagerly sought adjoining homes is known as Thunderbird. Now coming to the painful quotation, the article says "Kent B. Hayes, an Oklahoma City banker who is president of Thunderbird, feels that golf carts have helped the boom immeasurably. 'The average age of our members is fifty-seven. The legs of a man that age could probably stand no more than two or three rounds a week if he had to walk. But now with the carts, the same man can ride and play every day.' " It is expected that Nig will receive strenuous protests from some comrades such as RedBoyd, Gunny Gunnison, Tony Hanlon, Os-carcar Rice and others who play infantry golf. They will resent his statements that legs such as theirs, which for obvious reasons have never received any previous attention, are growing older and that it's time for them to become cartborne. And as for fifty-seven-year-old males, gosh Nig, they're only boys.
Not only the birds are beginning to migrate
