1911
1911 's acclaim goes to that outstanding member of 1906, Nat Leverone, for his magnificent gift of the new field house to the College. The name LEVERONE will linger long in the annals of Dartmouth.
It will be March when you read these notes. Winter will be nearly gone and signs of spring will be showing, when according to legend a young man's fancy turns to certain things. In the case of 1911 that is when classmates begin to look to the joys of comradeship and reuning with one another in the beautiful north country of New Hampshire in June. The place is the Mountain View in Whitefield, the home of the Dodges now in the fifth generation. We shall be there when only the early arrivals among the summer guests will have arrived and we will find ourselves scattered about in the choice rooms that shortly will not be available. Schuyler, who is enjoying a successful season as Manager of the Breakers in Palm Beach, has taken time out to renew the Dodge invitation as follows: "I am delighted to know that we shall again have the privilege and opportunity of en- tertaining the Class of 1911 at Mountain View. We shall be very pleased to welcome you and the members of the Class on June 26, the opening day of our social season. All arrangements will be the same as last year. With all best wishes in which Ginnie joins me."
Our sympathy goes to AI Hormel in the death of his wife Winnifred on Jan. 12, in Bowie, Md., where they had been with their daughter, Mrs. Holt Watts Jr. Al will remain with his daughter for a few weeks, then will visit his son John in Cleveland and stop over with his old roommate, Wee Kimball, on his way to West Yarmouth, Mass., where he will spend the summer.
Gabe Campbell, following his wife's death and his own illness, is living at the Ashbrook Nursing Home, 1610 Raritan Rd., Scotch Plains, N. J.
The Crow's Nest, home of Stan and Sibyl Eaton in Staunton, Va., was the scene of a golden wedding party staged by their sons and their wives who came by plane and train from Los Angeles, Chicago, and Indianapolis. A second dinner party was given by their friends and neighbors.
Les and Marion Gibson are back in their usual winter haunts on the "Gibby," docked at 221 N. E. River Drive, Fort Lauderdale, Fla. Lyme Armes '12 is also aboard.
He is gone again. Troy Parker sends in another address, Crosson House, King's Mill Road, Chapel Hill, N. C., and telephone number is 968-0523, for the next six months. He invites us to stop over and that should go for you too.
Make your own decision about Ed Keeler, whether he was unfortunate to have been hit or is fortunate to be alive. As he was about to cross the street in front of his office, an auto rounding the corner at a high rate of speed knocked him down breaking his leg just below the knee and causing bad bruises and scalp wounds.
Our architect and engineer, Cap Caproni, gives us the low-down on the construction industry and the effects of the uncertain business atmosphere. He said: "The last two years were not so good, there was a slow-up of work, but the outlook for 1963 is very promising, with excellent leads from high-class, responsible concerns. We expect to close up our share of work. Right now we have enough work for three months for our thirteen men. I may get to Florida in February."
You will hear more of Bones Tindall's hobbies that he developed during his convalescent periods from heart attacks since 1946, but meanwhile he writes of the Dartmouth contingent from Rockford, Ill., in 1907. He and Ed Keeler are the only remaining men from among Art Knight, Ray Taylor, Ray Carmichael, Willard Earngay and Earl Craig.
Friends of John and Margaret Pearson will be glad to know that Mig's throat operation at the Eye and . Ear Infirmary in Boston was highly successful. John is authority for the statement that the minus 15 degree temperature for four successive days is rated as the most bitter period of any winter in Hanover in the 20th Century.
Marjorie Pierce's grandson, Deane F. Mosher, who is a sophomore at Dartmouth, continues his straight A record which brought him the coveted Churchill Award, and records him as being at the top of his class. Marjorie's vision is improving slowly following her cataract, operation.
The College has received a check for $1000 from the Arthur H. Gray Estate, to establish the Arthur H. Gray 1911 Memorial Fund, the annual income of which is to be utilized for the Alumni Fund. This annual income is to be included in the contribution of the Class of 1911. After the death of the last known survivor of the Class of 1911 the principal and income of such Fund may be utilized as the Trustees of Dartmouth College may determine.
This is the practice that has been followed by the executive committee of the class in transferring the sum of ten dollars to the Class Memorial Fund in memory of each classmate upon his death. This 1911 Fund is now in excess of $27,000.
A Christmas card was the first word from Howard Randerson in several years. The envelope bore the return address: "International Research Bureau Genealogy-Probate Research, P. O. Box 801, Albany, N. Y."
Ben Ayers' son Kim '39 was at home for Christmas from Libya where he had been for over a year doing an "off-shore" job for Esso. He and Jean have built a cottage on Lake Winnepesaukee where they will spend their summers with their three children. Their home is 72 West Meadow Road, Wilton, Conn. While Kim was finishing Thayer School Jean was a secretary at Tuck and had the doubtful pleasure of typing 1911 class notes.
Hen Seaver is still running an insecticide and fungicide business with his son Bob in the Hudson Valley, but after reading "Silent Spring" he does not know how much longer they will be in business! However perhaps his hook-up with Quaker Oats Co. in the dairy and beef feed business may keep them going. Apparently he feeds 'em on one hand and poisons 'em on the other.
Ruth Backus will soon be on her way to Madrid as she is due to leave March 20 with a Wellesley friend to do Spain, Portugal, and England, returning on May 10 on the "France," in time to attend her fiftieth reunion at Wellesley.
We feel sure there can be no disagreement on the part of any 191 ler that WeeKimball's first issue of 'Leven Up was a masterpiece that sets a standard that will be difficult to maintain in future issues. We know the many hours of work he spent with Els's help in planning and the preparation and tremendous volume of correspondence that led to its completion. We quote from Lyme Armes 'l2 who edits that model of journalism, the 1912 Billboard: "Your monumental January edition of 'Leven Up appears to me to be the most solid, complete and comprehensive news-letter of record. Your two-way directory is a real innovation." If that is what others think of the pattern that Wee has set let's rally around and show our appreciation by responding to his requests. But - in the process, don't forget that the class notes section of the MAGAZINE has to be kept afloat.
