1922

Princeton came to Hanover with a tankful of gluttonous Tigers who gorged themselves before leaving town. Smarting from five defeats by the Indians in the past six years, the Tigers tried to revenge it all in one long afternoon. Yet the seven-year score now stands Dartmouth 124 - Princeton 117 and we're still leading by that one touch- down scored this year. "Wait till next year" was Hanover's natural reaction after the game. The wait, of course, was cut from a year to two weeks as millions watched the TV broadcast of the Harvard game - but that's another story.

Even the Princeton weekend had its delightful aspects. Though the foliage was slightly beyond its most vivid color it was still softly beautiful and together with the tracing October air formed a perfect setting for many Twoters and their families who delighted in being together again. By admittedly inaccurate count there, were at least 75 of the '22 class in town. At the excellent pre-game luncheon provided by Jeanette Gill in Leverone Field House, at the stadium and at informal gatherings our scouts reported the attendance of Mike and Laura Adams, Ray and Doris Atwood with daughter Gail and her husband Richard Foley, Roy and Dorothy Ball,-Bob and Lois Booth. Bob and Grace Clark, Haskell and Harriet Cohn, Norm Crane, Warren and Mary Daniell, Jack and Fran Dodd, Carroll and Nan Dwight, Tony and Eleanor Hanlon with son Terry and Tony's brother Bill and wife, Gene and Jeanette Hotchkiss, Carter and Alie Hoyt, Killie and Elizabeth Kilmarx, Phil Kimball, Ed and Marian Lane, Fran and Lucy Leland, Dick and Mary Litchfield, Al and Mary Lyon, Bill and Betty Mann, Ike and Harriet Miller, Stan and Catherine Miner, Len and, Margaret Morrissey, Olie and Louise Olsen, Ced and Emma Porter, Russ Putney, Ray and Mary Rambach, Bill and Jean Rex, Oscar and Bea Rice, Walt and Doris Sands, Spenny and Marge Smith with Mrs. Stewart Smith, Stu and Louise Stearns, Jack and Sylvia Taylor, Ralph and Mildred Totman, Bob and Edna Turnbull, Sterry and Frances Waterman, Dick and Ruth Wood. Now maybe that was your daughter sitting next to you and not your wife but to our bifocaled scouts the ladies all looked so good there was no distinction as to age.

From all viewpoints except the score it was a grand weekend. Most Twoters attended the pre-game luncheon where they sat together, and enjoyed it thoroughly. If this arrangement should be repeated at one or more games in future years it is too pleasant to miss. And, of course, the night before the game and the afternoon and evening after it there were spur-of-the-moment gatherings and enjoyable get-togethers including the delightful post-game hospitality of Olie and Louise Olsen at their home.

There was also a representation of Twoters at the Boston University and Brown games in Hanover. At one or both of these games observers reported Bob and Lois Booth, Bill Bullen, Len and Margaret Morrissey, Paul and Elizabeth Peters, and Oscar and Bea Rice. There were undoubtedly many more also but it's difficult for your myopic scribe to see from the goal line rush seats over into the stadium reserved seats.

Gene and Jeanette Hotchkiss on their way to Hanover flew into Boston where they enjoyed a dinner with our distinguished North Shore historian and raconteur, Charles Tapley. They report Charles to be in good health and excellent spirits.

Ted and Edith Davidson were also in Hanover for a short visit during early autumn. Unfortunately, we were not able to get together except by telephone. Ted reports he is feeling fine and enjoying life. It is hoped the Davidsons will return to Hanover and stay longer the next time.

Andy and Charlotte Marshall missed the Princeton game for very good and sufficient reasons. Right at that time they were sailing on the S.S. Constitution for a sunlane cruise to the Mediterranean visiting Madeira, Naples, Rome, Cannes, Barcelona, Gibraltar, and Casablanca. Smooth seas and shining skies to them.

Bill and Odie Lee Bullen also missed the Princeton game due to circumstances in their line of duty as grandparents. But can you imagine grandparents miscalculating the arrival of a grandchild? That's what the Bullens did. Pamela Jean Boudrot, third child and second daughter of mother Emily Bullen and her husband Herbert J. Boudrot Jr., arrived September 29, earlier than expected, stayed a little longer in the hospital than expected, came with her ma to stay with grandma and grandpa but did not stay as long as expected and left before the game, but too late for the old folks to get to Hanover. Bill says Pamela is absolutely charming, and not the least bit capricious. Guess that's the way it is with girl babies and their grandpas.

Harry Bruckner, says the Newark Evening News, is vice chairman of the 1964 United Appeals drive in Newark, Irvington, Belleville, and West Hudson. The drive seeks $2,750,000 for 73 health and welfare agencies. Harry is also a member of the board of directors of the Newark Red Cross.

The saddest news this month is that Lawrence Barnet and Mac McMahon have left us. Please refer to In Memoriam of this or a subsequent issue for more complete reports.

George Brooks makes the timely suggestion that there is a collection of the speeches and "writings" of President Hopkins available at the college entitled "This Our Purpose" which would make an excellent gift for any Dartmouth man if his wife were looking for such an opportunity at Christmas or birthday time. We heard some of the speeches when we were in Hanover and they have even more meaning for us now.
