1923

Karl Klaren writes that his eye is doing well. His present doctor is Maynard Wheeler '25 and he couldn't be in better hands.

Fred Bailey was sleeping Wednesday night March 30, in the Middlebury Inn, Middlebury, Vt., when he had a coronary thrombosis attack. He could not secure the services of a physician and the next morning drove to the Rutland Hospital where he was put to bed for three weeks. Joan Haubrick dropped over to Rutland several times to visit Fred. He is now home and takes a walk each day around his Brookline neighborhood. He wants his 1923 friends to know he will be soon out and around as if nothing had happened.

The trustees of the Fannie E. Ripple Foundation, of which Jules Ripple is president, recently issued a report covering their operations for the six years, May 1953 through April 1959. During this period the trustees distributed over $3,600,000 through grants to hospitals, societies for the relief and care of aged women, and medical schools. Dartmouth College received $150,000 towards the cost of the research space for laboratories for research concerning heart disease in a proposed new medical sciences building for the Dartmouth Medical School. The assets of the Foundation total $21,096,706.

Ed Flindell has joined the 1923 Retired Gentlemen's Club. He sold his general insurance business and in March bought a house in Hancock, N. H. So Ed and Kay are leaving Summit, N. J., and will become New Hampshire residents in May. Ed's son-in-law, Dick Peters, has had a serious illness but is now quite well recovered. He and Nancy with their twins live in Chelmsford, Mass. Hancock is not too far away.

We are indebted to Karl Klaren for information on Jack Jennings. Jack has been in the treasury department of A.C.F. Industries for over twenty years. The Jennings live at 1255 Christine Circle, Scotch Plains, N. J. Their daughter Martha is married to Michael Farrall who teaches political science in State Teachers College in Wisconsin. Grandson Gregory visited his grandparents this spring. Jack has not visited Hanover since 1952.

John Moore is manager of the uptown office of Monroe Calculating Division of Litton Industries with his office across the street from the Dartmouth Club of New York. John was president of this club in 1945 and is again on its Board of Governors. John Jr. is a junior at St. Michaels College, Burlington, Vt. Daughter Helene is Mrs. Robert Sinclair. Daughter Valerie is a student at Oak Knoll School for Girls in Summit, N. J.

Fred (C. F.) Marden is now on the third year of his leave of absence from Rutgers University in New Brunswick, N. J. He is serving as Reconciliation Master in divorce cases in the Supreme Court of New Jersey. This, according to Fred, has been a most enlightening although somewhat frustrating experience. He expects to return to his old post in the sociology department next September, teaching Marriage and the Family, and Minorities. His next project will be to revise his text book, "Minorities in American Society," originally published in 1952, which has a modern adoption.

Fred writes,

My wife Freda, Brooklyn born and Barnard educated, is executive secretary of the New Jersey Association of High School Councils, a post held since giving up her work as Dean of Girls in New Brunswick High School. Our son Philip, Rutgers 1955, is working toward his Ph.D. in Sociology at University of Illinois, having acquired a wife and making us grandparents of an adorable granddaughter, Leah.

For the past few years, we have been vacationing at our place on Winona Lake, near Ashland, N. H., and always visit Hanover a few times while, there.

Art Little and Glen Elliott represented Dartmouth's greatest class at the Rhode Island Dartmouth Club's annual dinner dance in Providence in April. Art says Glen is in fine shape and keeps busy as ever guiding the destinies of his local and southern plants of Rhode Island Textile Company.

This month the secretary bows to Art and Edith Little of Pawtucket, R. I., for his omission of the Art Littles in a spot high up in the Grandparents' Derby. They have seven and rate a prominent place on the list. In the October 1958 issue there is a never-to-be-forgotten picture of Art and his four sons taken at Steve's graduation. During the-tenyear stretch of tuition payments to Dartmouth College the Art Littles were always on hand for the 1923 winter reunions. Their four sons became very well acquainted with many of our Class. It would not be remiss to note here what they are doing. Pete and Sylvia, with their five children, Peter Jr., Steven, Susan, Christopher, and Jeffrey, live in North Attleboro. Pete is associated with Art in the John W. Little Company, as General Superintendent. Art and Fay are the proud parents of Debbie and make their home in Needham. Art is with Otis Elevator in their Boston office. Steve and Frankie, with son Jon, are in Bologna, Italy, where Steve is completing the final year of work toward his M.A. at Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies. After three years of graduate work Lester (still a bachelor) will be taking general and oral exams this month for his doctorate in Medieval History. If all goes well he plans to work on his dissertation next year at (Flanigan, please note) the Vatican Library.

Art is one of our Vice Presidents. He can always be counted on to do an excellent job for the class whenever one is assigned. If there ever was a selection of "royal family of sons of 1923" this family of Art's and Edith's would take high rank in such competition.

Your secretary asked Art for information about himself and Edith for a write-up in this issue. Art answered and ended his letter with this remark, "There's more than enough here about the Little family and besides I'd much rather read about somebody other than myself."

As of January 1 Herb Behan, assistant manager of the life and accident departments of the Traveler Insurance Company was transferred from the Boston to the Springfield office of the company. Herb will be missed in Boston where he always attended the 1923 Boston meetings and Alumni meeting. He will be an asset to the Springfield group.

Secretary, 170 Washington St. Haverhill, Mass.
