1922

The sad news that Bill Morrell has passed away is received just as these notes are being mailed to Hanover. A more complete report will appear in In Memoriam in this or a later issue.

Thirty-nine was the number in our little reunion group who after a pleasant cocktail hour enjoyed dinner together at the Hanover Inn's Tavern Room on Saturday evening, April 15. The diners were Bob and LoisBooth, Bill and Odie Lee Bullen, TommyByrne, Bob and Grace Clark, Haskell andHarriet Cohn, Jack and Fran Dodd, Carrolland Nan Dwight, Frank and Betty Horan with son Tony '61, Carter and Alie Hoyt,Fran and Lucy Leland, John and Mary Masland who is the daughter of our esteemed contemporary Max Norton '19, Len and Margaret Morrissey with sons Charles '56 and Len '48 and wife Winnie, Olie and ElspethOlsen, Ced and Emma Porter, Walt andDoris Sands, Dick and Dot Stetson, Herb andKarin West, Dick and Ruth Wood.

John Masland, Provost of the College, was our guest speaker. He spoke interestingly and informally on the development of the College and the graduate schools in regard to faculty, curriculums and future plans. John's talk, highly appreciated by those of the class family fortunate enough to hear it, was followed by a question and answer period.

With customary camaraderie and complete relaxation all other aspects of the little reunion weekend ran true to form. Some folks played some bridge but not without kibitzers. With special interest everybody visited the Carpenter Art Gallery to appreciate the paintings recently acquired as gifts from classmate Modie Spiegel. Many also visited the new Medical Sciences Building. As might be expected, aesthetical Bill Bullen and Carroll Dwight even watohed - but not for long - a student rehearsal of Hamlet. But without exception everybody talked plenty and no one complained of loneliness. Candidly, there were a few snide remarks here and there about classmates snoring too sonorously as early as 11:30 P. M. At that hour this is the first time such charges have been alleged against any Twoters. Gosh, how we have changed - for the better.

Donated by our Modie J. Spiegel and Robert S. Engelman '34, the paintings exhibited at Carpenter represented the largest addition in many years to the College Art Collection. They include numerous paintings by artists who achieved recognition during our own unforgettable years, the late 20s and early 30s. Conceived in depression milieu, the paintings show an empatbic sense of humanity and penetrating perception of those dreary days. The collection includes works by Nicolai Cikovsky, Grant Wood, Raphael Soyer, Georges Schreiber, Joseph Hirsch, William Ward Beecher, Joe Jones, Luigi Lucioni, George Biddle and Umber-to Romano.

With appreciation to our Dr. Gaylord Anderson, Mayo Professor and Director of the School of Public Health at the University of Minnesota, for a clipping from the Minneapolis Tribune and a folder from the Congress of American Hospital Administrators the clan is brought up to date on illustrious classmate Jim Hamilton.

Excerpts from the folder:

The James A. Hamilton Hospital Administrators' Award was made possible by a contribution to the American College of Hospital Administrators from the alumni of the course in Hospital Administration of the University of Minnesota as a tribute to their professor and teacher, James Alexander Hamilton, Director of the course at that university. Mr. Hamilton, a former president of the American College of Hospital Administrators, has been a leader in the development of the educational program of this professional society and has had a long and distinguished career in the hospital, health and education fields. The James A. Hamilton 'Hospital Administrators' Award will be granted annually at the time of the American College of Hospital Administrators' Congress on Administration to the author of an outstanding book in the field of administration. Winner of the first James A. Hamilton Hospital Administrators' Award (a medallion and a cash prize) is sociologist Melville Dalton, author of the book, "Men Who Manage."

Woefully incomplete, it omits some very important facts about our Mr. Hamilton. It fails to mention that Jim is Dartmouth '22, Tuck '23, that he had — and hopefully still has - an excellent bass voice and that he was - but probably isn't any more - a very handy man around second base and shortstop.

No easy job to get news from Gaylord Anderson about his own doings — one would almost think he was a native of northern New England instead of Minnesota. But this time he does write the following long letter quoted in totality: "I am keeping fairly quiet and behaving myself, aside from a couple of trips during the past year to Berlin to study certain aspects of the use of oral polio vaccine in that city." Goldern it, Gaylord, tell us more.

Big news from New York concerns Alden James, new advertising director for McCalf's Magazine. Since 1959 he has been associated with Outdoor Advertising, Inc. as a senior vice president and director of sales. There is no doubt that he joins McCall's with a keen sense of the advertising field for behind him are over 24 years of experience. He was connected with P. Lorillard Co. for ten years as advertising vice president and then This Week magazine for fourteen years. He was named executive vice president of the latter in 1956. The James home is now located in Greenwich, Conn., on Beechcroft Road.

Forego your newspapers, forget your magazines, fling aside your bestsellers, but be sure to read every word in our class family newsletter. Those of us who wrestle strenuously with words can appreciate the fine job Steve Kenyon does on our Twoter. It's required and rewarding reading for all classmates.

All Twoters will be pleased to know Dr.Ronald P. Hallett of Boston's North Shore has been paid a well merited tribute in Che columns of his hometown Gloucester Times. In summary, the article says that our Doc, son of Dr. Edward B. Hallett, has been practicing medicine in Gloucester for the past thirty years. After graduation from Gloucester High School and Worcester Academy, he served as a naval aviator for 17 months in World War I. After college, he attended Dartmouth Medical School for two years and Boston University Medical School where he received his M.D. He interned at Salem Hospital and a New York maternity hospital. He is an Associate Surgeon at the Addison Gilbert Hospital, Gloucester. He is prominent in local affairs and served as a member of the Gloucester school committee for 16 years. At Dartmouth he was a member of the track team (and as Twoters know, an excellent runner). He has always shown great interest and enthusiasm in local athletic contests. Doc and Helen who live on Beach Road, Gloucester, have four children: Edward, Barbara, Ronald and Mary Ann. Good indeed to hear of you, Doc, but please don't enter any 440 time trials now.

From the wives of Mike Garvey and ChadChadbourne come notes of appreciation regarding the class memorial books program. Gisele Garvey writes "Thank you for your wonderful way of remembering your classmates. In Michael's case it is particularly appropriate because he loved books. Men write books, men read books, books help mold better men." Verne Chadbourne writes "Please accept my appreciation for the memorial gift that has been made by the Class of 1922. It is a beautiful tribute and the boys and I wish to express our thanks. It is truly a living memorial."

Shades of Junior Prom, they're still dancing for Dartmouth - one snapshot shows Steve Kenyon spry and satisfied as if he'd just won the waltz prize, the other shows smiling Stan Miner swirling around the dance floor with a young girl named Catherine Miner - undoubtedly his daughter. Both snaps sent in by Gilbert Sykes '36 were taken at the Ridgewood Country Club during Bergen County Dartmouth Club's dance for the benefit of the scholarship fund. They could have danced all night - probably did.

A most happy occasion for Johnny and Anna Shea when they saw son Philip Raymond married to Mary Ellen Shea on April 8 at Miami. Health and happiness to the parents of Che groom and best wishes to the newly weds.

As the pouring of concrete into this column ends, there is still one very important subject, the Alumni Fund. Right now in early May, the results for '22 are so far so good. But they do not warrant complacency and we have a long way to go. We'll meet cur objective only if every Twoter gives thoughtfully and realistically. And now is the time.

That's it till autumn. Have a good summer, stay out of the mid-day sun and be sure there's water in the pool before you dive.
