1922

Hopefully some month it will be possible to begin these notes without reporting another classmate has left us. Unfortunately this is not so for the current issue because as In Memoriam reports, Hal Green has passed away.

Our Leroy F. Ball, president of the King Cigar Co., Flint, Mich., is updated in a recent article from a trade journal of the tobacco industry. According to the article one of Roy's best business decisions was to have two fine sons-in-law join him in his wholesale distributing business. Excerpts regarding Roy himself add:

"The son of a salesman who gained prominence in the P. Lorillard Co., Roy was born in St. Louis and received his education at Mt. Vernon High School and Dartmouth College (of which he is a most loyal alumnus). He went into wholesaling immediately after getting his degree from Dartmouth in 1922 (where he was and still is a popular and highly esteemed member of that famous class). Roy became president of his company in 1932 and has since continued in that responsibility. For the past 25 years or more he has been a trustee of the First Presbyterian Church, a trustee of McLaren Hospital, and director of the Genesee Merchants Bank and Trust Company.

"He is a Rotarian and Elk and is active in the Y.M.C.A., the Red Feather Campaign, and national and state trade associations. He is a past president of his state's wholesaler association; is a charter member of the National Candy Wholesalers' Association and was a founder of the National Association of Tobacco Distributors. Roy and Dorothy, his wife, have three daughters (Barbara, Martha and Lorna) and eight grandchildren."

Roy and Dottie celebrated their 39th wedding anniversary on Oct. 17. Congratulations to them and the class is indeed proud to have them in its family.

And appreciation to Frank Horan for all these glad tidings about Roy and his family. Frank, as general counsel of Liggett & Myers since 1951 and as vice president of the company since 1956, also has some apparent connection with the tobacco industry. Here the temptation to attempt a "just one minute" commercial is obviously strong, but let's quell it and merely says thanks again, Frank, for bringing Twoters up to date on Roy.

Charles A. Vose, our president of the First National Bank of Oklahoma City, was honored last spring when the Phi Delta Theta Alumni Club of Oklahoma conferred a distinguished achievement award upon him with the designation "Most Amiable Mr. Capitalist." Congratulations from the Class, Chuck, and gratis to Stan Miner for forwarding good news on our distinguished Twoter in the Sooner state.

Stan, incidentally, is running for a seat in the Vermont Legislature. Time was when a Republican candidate from the town of Stockbridge - as Stan is - was a sure bet for election. Hope times haven't changed and '22 will have Miner in Montpelier.

Peter Kiewit was awarded an honorary degree at the June commencement exercises of the University of Nebraska. At the September convocation beginning Dartmouth's 196th year President Dickey included the Kiewit Computer Center in the significant developments that "Give each of us a merited measure of self-confidence for the tasks at hand and ahead." The Center will bring "This powerful new aid of the human mind into the educational experience of at least three fourths of our students." Pete, Twoters are possibly too old for computerization, but not too old to be grateful classmates for your loyalty to Dartmouth.

Warren and Mary Daniell are the parents of Dr. Jere R. Daniell who has been appointed assistant professor of history at the college. Jere '55 comes back to Dartmouth from Harvard where he has been teaching.

Dick Wood also reports that Dr. Daniell was one of the principal speakers at the summer sessions of the Vermont Historical Society. Jere's subject was "The Deerfield Story." The program also cited The Honorable Sterry R. Waterman as chairman of one of the meetings. Seems that name Waterman was first heard in New Hampshire Hall in 1918 and it has received a lot of well merited mention ever since.

There are enough address changes to fill a page but some will have to be saved for future issues. Here are what once was a baker's half dozen: Dr. Wendell E. Boyer, 395 Mantolaking Rd., Brick Town, N. J.; Robert M. Dewey, 621 Windsor Rd., Glenview, Ill.; John D. Dodd, R.D., Hampton, N. J.; Charles W. Earle, 152 Bristol Ave., Hyannis, Mass.; William G. Haas, 40 Bay Ave., Huntington, N. Y.; Shepard A. Naylor, 4918 East Eastland St., Tucson, Ariz.; Ralph E. Rubins, 535 S. Alandale, Los Angeles.

And, as this column heading proclaims, your scribe and wife Margaret are settlin' down in Hanover where they look forward to seeing any Twoters as they come back to town.

Finally, all of us have received bills for our class dues. Class Treasurer CarrollDwight will not dun you so send in your check now. The proceeds pay your subscription to the ALUMNI MAGAZINE and sustain '22's Memorial Book program for deceased classmates. Nuff said.
