1918
We are sure that the class is very proud of the fact that we made 100% of our quota of our objective for the Alumni Fund (more money than the class has ever given before). We wish to congratulate Tom and BettyBryant and their some forty associates for the outstanding campaign of solicitation of funds. We also wish to thank the 256 contributors who made it possible for us to reach our goal. Let’s just say it was a job well done!
Bill Montgomery has heard from several members of the class that there seems to be a misunderstanding about the date of the next T8 Reunion. So let’s clear up any mis- understanding by the following notice:
1918’s 46TH REUNION June 15, 16, and 17, 1964
Just fifty years after matriculation in 1914. Ten classmates have already “signed up”. Plan now to join them and notify Bill Montgomery, Keyser Rd., Meredith, N. H.
Barbara and Harvey Hood are planning to invite all members of the Class of T8 to their home for a luncheon before the Dart- mouth-Harvard Game, which will be held on October 27. We are greatly indebted to them for their generous offer. We hope that many of you will find it possible to attend. If you have never been to one of these luncheons, let us say that it is something you shouldn’t miss. If you have been, we don’t see how you could persuade yourself not to come again. We are indeed fortunate to have the opportunity of enjoying again the gracious hospitality of the Harvey Hoods.
After the game, Eddie Ferguson is run- ning the usual cocktail party at the Hotel Commander. Just go to the Commander im- mediately after the game and ask to be di- rected to the 1918 Room. There will be no organized pre-game dinner or other gather- ing on Friday evening, October 26.
lilg, UU 1 iiuajr V filing, VUUUUGeorge Stoddard, who is an Associate Member of the American Watercolor Soci- ety and an Artist Member of the Society of Western Artists, held an exhibition of his paintings at the Chaffee Museum of the Arts in Rutland, Vt, from July 29 through Au- gust 19. We quote in part the brochure which was sent out announcing this exhibi- tion: “Mr. Stoddard has exhibited in shows and galleries in the East, at which awards were received. His realistic paintings are in collections ranging from New England to California, Ontario to Arizona. While spe- cializing in watercolors, he also works in oil and other media.” Then there was a list of 31 watercolor paintings which he displayed. We received a note from Elmer Robinson T4, which we quote in part, “This was really quite a show! Beautiful things and a good attendance.”
It is with regret that we announce the passing of Gerald A. Poole on May 30, 1962 in Odessa, Tex. The cause of his death was a heart attack. Gerry had retired from the Gulf Oil Corp. when he reached 65 and had not been in robust health for the past year or two. He served on the Ector County Independent School Board from 1937 until 1943 and on the Odessa College Board of Regents from 1949 until 1952. He is sur- vived by his wife; one daughter, Mrs. Joe Creamer of San Rafael, Calif.; one son, Jerry Poole of Odessa, Tex.; and seven grandchildren. The “In Memoriam” gives the detail of his active life.
On June 29 Gov. Rockefeller announced the reappointment of Jay LeFevre, New Paltz, Ulster County, N. Y., as a member of the Council of State University College at New Paltz, for a term ending July 1, 1971. As you remember. Jay is a former member of the U.S. House of Representatives where he served two terms and a former member of the New York State Bridge Authority. He is president of A. P. LeFevre & Son, Inc., a building materials firm.
Dick White received a citation from the Society of American Florists at its meeting held in Boston on July 16, 1962. We quote in part from the citation: “The Society wishes to recognize the outstanding service and contributions to floriculture and orna- mental horticulture made by Dr. Richard P. White. He has made major contributions to horticulture through his teaching work and through the numerous research papers which he has published. His trade associa- tion and civic activities have spanned a mul- titude of organizations in many of which he has held top offices. His many honors have included the George Robert White Medal of Honor from the Massachusetts Horticultural Society.” Dick, we are all proud of you and your outstanding achievements.
A note from A 1 Gottschaldt which we quote in part: Bee and I have just logged over 8,000 miles in the car were away some live weeks, passing through sixteen states and Mexico. Among the high spots was a luncheon that Bill and Kay M'udgett_ gave in Palo Alto on the Stanford cam- pus, which gave us a chance to reune with them and Mildred and Bob Fish. Afterwards we mo- tored over to Los Altos Hills to see the magnifi- cent site where the Fishes are encamped. Spent an evening with Ray and Hazel Dart. Ray is still on the job in the investment field. He and Hazel live in a charming home in an equally charming community. The Mudgetts, "Fishes, Darts, and Gottschaldts are all on record as planning to at- tend the Class Reunion in 1964. P.S. Our eldest grandson, Buzz Pratt, enters Dartmouth this fall. Is he the class' first grandson to enter?
Question: “Is he?”
Mildred and Bob Fish gave my son, Rob- ert Shirley, his wife, and two children a very happy day at Los Altos Hills in the middle of June. This meeting produced some very fine photographs of our young San Fran- cisco family which we have enjoyed a great deal. Bob is still struggling with arthritis. He had to miss the Seattle Fair because of his condition. His courage is good and we are sure that he will work out of it as he has done in the past. He writes that Paul Reps’ new address is Box 2934, Honolulu, H.I. Paul has been doing considerable writing and adventuring during the years and he hopes that Paul will contribute to either the class letter or this column sometime in the future.
The May 16 issue of the Concord Moni- tor and New Hampshire Patriot carried a column describing the evening when JimLangley was given a Yankee Quill Award by the N.E. Professional Chapter, Sigma Delta Chi, for a lifetime of public service as Monitor Publisher. He was one of five veteran newspaper bosses thus honored and was grumpy as a seal in solarium about all the fanfare and laudatory remarks heaped upon him. But he enjoyed it.
The Springfield Republican on May 27 carried a column headed “Superior Judge Speaks at WNEC Commencement.” The column carried a picture of Donald M.Macaulay, part of which we quote: “Donald M. Macaulay, Justice of the Massachusetts Superior Court, will be the speaker at the 41st Commencement exercises of Western New England College on the evening of June 6. Judge Macaulay is a 1924 graduate in law from the college, which was at the time known as the Springfield Division of Northeastern University.”
Gene Markey was elected a member of the Jockey Club at a meeting of that organi- zation held on May 15. We quote in part the write-up from the local newspaper an- nouncing his election: “Admiral Markey, who races a small string of horses in France, is a noted author, playwright and film pro- ducer. He long has been a keen student of racing and is a familiar figure at tracks both here and abroad.”
We understand that Lou Huntoon has re- cently been at the Pratt Diagnostic Clinic in Boston for a check-up of his arthritis. Changes in addresses for the following classmates:
