1922
Forty-four bald and bifocaled years beyond our vintage of 1918, the pea-green freshmen of ’66 are now papooses in Hanover. In 2006 will they all orbit private satellites back to their Fortieth Reunion? No matter, they won’t enjoy it more than our class family of 140 in Hanover last June. If memory ticks, future blurbs in these notes may effuse some reminders of that happy get-together. But right now a current crop of summer news awaits harvest.
First, and most sadly received, is the report that friendly Zeke Shoup has left us. In Memoriam has a more complete ac- count of his passing and our loss. Zeke was proud of the College and the Class.
And especially this year, the College and the Class have good reason for additional pride in the splendid achievement of the 1962 Alumni Fund. As General Chairman, Jack Dodd did a superb job. With his dedi- cated guidance, the Fund passed a new mile- stone in daring a deed for Dartmouth. Breaking past records, more than 21,000 contributors donated $1.2 million. In his two years as General Chairman, Jack has given unstintingly of himself. He has brought the Fund to a new vista of excellence for the College. In 1961 he directed the Fund to its first annual total of $1 million only to surpass that attainment by a 20 per cent increase this year. The Class acclaims Jack in this accomplishment for Dartmouth and Fran for her support and encouragement.
The Class also delights for its share in this magnificent performance. It’s a small, war-born class but its 231 contributors gave some $27,000 thereby surpassing its objec- tive and setting a new class record. It was not easy and deep gratitude is due to Class Agent Carter Hoyt and Dartmouth wife Alie. Sharing similarly in the accom- plishment are 40 additional Twoters who as loyal workers, in John Dickey’s phrasing, “put both heart and shoulder into the 1962 Alumni Fund.” And last but certainly not least, sincere thanks from the Class to all Twoters who made it possible.
“Frank Horan, it is a deep pleasure to acknowledge your brilliant achievements and your service to this College with the Dartmouth Alumni Award” thus ends the citation. If by chance you missed it and no classmate should the complete text ap- peared in the July issue. Bestowed by the Alumni Council last June, the award honors Frank for his distinguished career and his uncommon devotion to the College. To which the Class proudly adds its felicitations and thanks to Frank and Betty.
Congratulations again to Honorable Judge Sterry R. Waterman, newly elected president of the American Judicature Society. Sterry received this distinguished honor at the so- ciety’s golden anniversary meeting held in connection with the American Bar Associa- tion convention in San Francisco. Dedicated to the improvement of court administra- tion, the society added further distinction to Sterry’s notable legal career. Appointed by President Eisenhower in 1955, he is judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit: New York, Connecticut, and Vermont. He was a member of the orig- inal committee which sponsored and pro- mulgated the Uniform Commercial Code. After twenty years of service, in 1958 he became a life member of the National Con- ference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws. He is also a member of the American Law Institute, Institute of Judicial Adminis- tration, the American Bar Association, its section of judicial administration, and past president of the Vermont Bar Association. The College, the Class, and particularly Sterry’s good wife Frances should share with delight in his latest honor.
By forwarding this good news about Sterry, no less than a quartet of Twoters prove they still read newspapers. Grateful acknowledgments are due to Ray Atwood,BUI Bullen, Frank Horan and Dick Wood.
A warm welcome from the class family to Dr. Edith M. Lentz who married James A. Hamilton on June 1 in Minneapolis. Dr. Lentz received her Ph.D. from Cornell and is a social psychologist specializing in medi- cal fields. For the past eight years she has been on the faculty at the University of Minnesota where she is an associate profes- sor of Hospital Administration. During the summer Jim and Edith lectured in Tokyo and Hong Kong. They then went to Manila for a month. There, Jim was director of a Hospital Administration Seminar run by the national government in cooperation with the World Health Organization. Before return- ing to the United States in September, Jim and Edith also lectured in Sydney, Aus- tralia, and visited Tahiti. Health and happi- ness from all of us.
Bill and Betty Mann saw son John E. and his pretty bride Bethalyn B. Hutchins mar- ried at an August wedding in St. Matthew’s Episcopal Church, Worcester. Bill and OdieLee Bullen, Carter and Alie Hoyt, Fran andLucy Leland and Dick and Dot Stetson gave the blessings of the Class to the newlyweds. Beth, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edwin I. Hutchins, attended Wheelock College. John prepared at Roxbury Latin for Dartmouth where he is a senior. The best wishes of ’22 go with John and Beth now and always.
And once more before the frost bites the pumpkins, thanks again from the Class to Bob and Grace Clark and their willing help- ers for all they did to make our Fortieth Reunion so enjoyable.
