1918
The Class of '18 was well represented at the annual Dartmouth Alumni Dinner held in Boston the first week in February. ClintCarvell gave an impressive invocation. Harvey Hood was at the head table with the other trustees from around Boston.
We are sorry to report that Curt Glover spent part of January in the hospital after a gall bladder removal and a patch job on his old stomach ulcer. He is reported to be in good shape again and has spent most of the month of February in Florida. He and Ruth spent a pleasant evening with the AlGottschaldts at their Miami home.
Phil and Margie Boynton plan to sojourn to Florida around February 17 and will see the Paul Miners while there. Jim Salisbury, the ex Johnson and Johnson executive, is planning to be in St. Petersburg, Fla., most of the winter. He is toying with the idea of going to Rome and travel through Southern Italy during this next summer. George Arnold also is in Florida. His address is 33 Palm Square, Delray Beach. Rumor has it that the Howie Parks have bought a permanent residence in Florida. The Dr. EdMcDowells have bought a new home in Clearwater, located about ten minutes from the Paul Miners.
Recently we received a long letter from Stew Teaze writing from Rancho Mirage, Calif., which he describes as the winter golf capital of the world. He writes that he enjoyed reading Stan Jones' classic notes in the January issue of the DARTMOUTH MAGAZINE and his word pictures made it almost possible to imagine that he was there. He writes further that the Coachella Valley in which Stew lives now has fifteen golf courses. In true Californian zeal he goes on to say that this is a grand place to bask in the sun while resting between golf courses. He would welcome any classmates who would like to play on any of the courses.
The Phil Sandersons are planning to leave on a six weeks' trip to the West Coast to visit their daughter, Shirley, the latter part of March. We are sure that you will be glad to know that Phil received a promotion and is now a Public Information Officer at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard. He will still continue his assignment as editor of the Periscope, which is the official house organ of the shipyard. The class joins me in extending our congratulations.
The class will be proud to learn that Mrs. Elizabeth Hilliker of Denver has established "The Charles E. Hilliker Memorial Endowment Fund" to provide annual prizes for outstanding essays written by students in the Great Issues course. Elizabeth has established a very substantial and perpetuating endowment fund. The first Hilliker awards for the Great Issues will be given in lune 1962. Each student in the required course for seniors must submit an essay at least 3,500 word's long, giving a critical analysis of one of the themes explored in the course during the year. The class thanks Elizabeth for this outstanding gift to Dartmouth College. It certainly will give substantial support to the Great Issue course which President Dickey has worked so hard to establish as an important part of the undergraduate curriculum.
The following appeared in the Concord Daily Monitor on February 10:
Colby Named to Two Boards
Governor Powell today announced reappointment of Attorney Willoughby A. Colby of Concord to two state boards. He said he had asked the Executive Council to confirm his reappointment to the N. H. Commission on Interstate Cooperation, and the Commission to Study Uniform State Laws.
The Governor explained Colby had won national repute for his contributions to interstate neighborliness while serving on these two state agencies.
With Bill Colby receiving these appointments and with Amos Blandin receiving the Alumni Award for Distinguished Legal Service, the class of '18 seems to be participating in a major way in the affairs of the State of New Hampshire. We certainly are proud of them both.
We think that Tom Bryant and the class should be complimented on the progress that has been made in setting up an organ ization to work on the Alumni Fund Drive" Approximately thirty of our classmates have agreed to help out. This represents about 10% of the class. Tom is out to win the Green Derby for '18 this year. All indications are he is going to make it. If you haven't the time to help out, the least you can do is to send in your donation promptly as soon as you are asked to do so.
The following classmates have recently changed their addresses:
Homer D. Lininger, P. O. Box 669, Tucson Ariz.; David E. McCoy, 6117 Overlea Road Fort Sumner Hills, Wash. 16, D. C.; John E. O'Gara, 509 North L St., Lake Worth, Fla.; and Sewall C. Strout, Cumberland Foreside, Portland 200, Me
The Transcript Telegram of Holyoke Mass., carried on February 3 a picture of Gerald (Pierpy) Geran with the following quotation:
Above is Gerry Geran former Holyoke man residing in N.Y.C. in the employ of the U. S. Government. He was the first American hockey player in the National Hockey League almost 45 years ago. Geran starred in hockey at Dartmouth, played hockey in Montreal with the Wanderers and with the Boston Bruins.
He should be happy that the City of Holyoke still remembers his achievements.
Jack Slabaugh has agreed to prepare the notes for the May issue. We are sure that you will enjoy them.
Thomas B. R. Bryant is the new ClassAgent for the Class of 1918. The 1962Alumni Fund gets under way this month.
