1929

It is Labor Day - a time when we shift gears, so to speak, in anticipation of the fall activities. Your secretary is reminded to begin the 36th year of recordation of these notes for the Class of 1929. As his thoughts roam over the years of the Dartmouth ex- perience, the faces and personalities of many men come to mind. One wonders where they are - what they are doing - what they are thinking. This is not idle curiosity — it is only human to be interested in people, especially those with whom we have shared some of life's experiences. We realize that these notes can only scratch the surface of this wonderfully interesting story which will never be told. All classmates may not be close friends but they do share a common bond which is the stuff of which friendships are made. We feel privileged to share with you a few of the etchings made by classmates which are available to us. May we become closer in the years that remain so that Twenty-Niners will be known always as the friendly gang.

We pause for a moment to reflect upon the life of a great man whose influence upon our generation of Dartmouth men is im- measurable. It is the life of Dr. Ernest Martin Hopkins which so regrettably came to an end this summer. "Hoppy," as he was affectionately known to all of us, will remain always in the spirit of Dartmouth College.

We shared a memorable experience this summer on the shore of Moosehead Lake in Maine. We were the guests of Larry andMary Lougee at their camp in the wilderness. A highlight of the weekend was a party which included Nat and Amy Barrows,Chris and Jane Born, and Ed and PollyFowler. It was a neighborly party because the Barrows and the Borns have staked out claims on the north and south extremities of the Lake. The Fowlers, who live on Governors Island in Lake Winnipesaukee, and the Reddings were impressed by the beautiful scenery of this new frontier of the Class of 1929. Besides the attractions of the scenery and the wildlife, it does afford facilities for golf for anybody who is hardy enough to climb a mountain.

Speaking of travel, Joe and Bea D'Esopo recently celebrated the 30th birthday of the Dartmouth Travel Bureau. Under the capable aegis of Joe and Bea, this Bureau has become world famous for its gracious and dependable service. Joe also conducts a Hertz Rent-a-Car department in conjunction with the Bureau. Their daughter, Mary Ann, who is a senior at Bryn Mawr, has become a valuable assistant as a world traveler. She spent this summer in Spain, teaching geology and geography in a village school north of Madrid. Joe acknowledges that Bea is an expert in everything from what to wear in Karachi to the rate of exchange in Kama-kura. Both Joe and Bea have traveled to every nook and corner of the world.

Dan Marx, another Hanover resident, has a valid claim to fame by virtue of the fact that his wife has been elected president of the Women's Club of Hanover. Dan is a professor of Economics but this does not rate the headlines and a picture in the local newspaper.

It is fitting Election Year news to report the election of our own Dr. Frank Foster to a term of three years as an Alumni Trustee for Phillips Academy at Andover. Frank who over the past years has had busy life as an active participant in civic and church affairs in West Newton, Mass., is also a past president of Andover's Alumni Coun- cil. Add to this his commitment to the Department of Internal Medicine at the Lahey Clinic in Boston - and occasional sorties into public print as we saw in a recent New York Times Magazine - and there is a mighty busy guy to behold.

Don Simpson, who lives in Marblehead, Mass., has been appointed as Dean of Suffolk University Law School in Boston. A former assistant attorney general for Massachusetts, Don has been occupied over the years as a professor of law.

Dwight Allen, who represents Connecticut General Life Insurance Company in Amherst, was featured in an advertisement which appeared in Time magazine recently. He was introduced to the nation with a handsome picture as being the type of man who represents the company. He is a life member of the company's top prestige group called the President's Club.

Harry Baehr was married to the former Jo-Ann Price last May. His bride is a staff reporter, specializing in religious news for the New York Herald Tribune. Harry is an editorial writer for the same newspaper and is vice-president of the Brooklyn Eye and Ear Hospital. They returned recently from Hawaii to live at 135 Willow Street in Brooklyn. Undoubtedly, they would welcome all Twenty-Niners attending the World's Fair.

We heard from Bud Terrio recently. Bud is sales manager for Bay State Offset Printing Co. and lives in Lexington, Mass. Bud and Katherine have three children. Their son, Stephen, is following Bud's footsteps as an athlete at Lexington High and hopes to enter Dartmouth. Daughters, Linda and Deborah are attending Framingham State Teachers College and Colby, respectively, each of whom is distinguishing herself as a member of the Dean's list. Bud now restricts himself to golf, having suffered a serious knee injury two years ago.

Ed Canby, of Sedona, Ariz., a professional photographer, has become a painter. The Nestler Gallery recently held a one-man show which featured 35 of Ed's paintings. He has won several prizes, one being first prize at the 1963 Wind River Artists Guild in Dubois, Wyo., a national exhibition. The newspaper release quotes Ed as saying, "My feeling for the freedom and spaciousness of this part of the country is an integral component of all my work."

Dr. Stan Friedberg is now the president of the 400 member medical staff at Presby-terian-St. Luke's Hospital in Chicago.

Dr. John Dickey delivered the Commencement Address at Bucknell University last June and received the honorary degree of Doctor of Civil Law. Another distinguished classmate, Dud Orr, was the Com- mencement speaker at Rivier College in Nashua.

Dud and Jean Orr's daughter, Carolyn, was married to Robert Howard Mattoon Jr. in August. Carolyn was graduated from Wellesley in 1963 and has been studying philosophy the past year at Yale University Graduate School. Her husband is a graduate of Dartmouth and is doing graduate work at Tulane University.

In August, we received the announcement of the engagement of Miss Mary Carlton, of New York and Woods Hole, Mass., to Gerald Lincoln Swope, son of Gerry and MargeSwope. Miss Carlton graduated from Radcliffe in 1959 with a magna cum laude in English. Gerald is an alumnus of Swarthmore and Babson Institute and is now with Price Waterhouse & Co. As you perhaps know, Gerry, the father, is international counsel for the General Electric Company and chairman of the board of the Marine Biological Laboratories, of Woods Hole and Boston.

Do not forget to make your reservations with Bing Carter for the class reunion the weekend of the Yale game. Hope to see you then.
