1922
'22 UP! The Twoter's traditional war cry again summons the class family back to Hanover for our 1964 Little Reunion at the Inn on April 10 and 11. It will be a rendezvous of classmates and their families in springtime at the old college home. Don't wait for an engraved invitation — there won't be any - Twoters scoff at formalities. But if you enjoy friendship, relaxation and informality, call or write the Hanover Inn now to make your reservation.
And this get-together will be particularly memorable. In commemoration of our de". parted classmate, Jack Strauss, the College is using the occasion of our Spring Reunion to dedicate the Jacob H. Strauss Gallery at the Hopkins Center. The Gallery on the main floor of the Center is given in Jack's honor by his widow, Lillian B. Strauss. The dedication will be at four o'clock, Saturday, April 11. Those in charge are planning a simple and informal dedication ceremony. Members of Jack's family and a few of his friends have been invited and will join the Class for cocktails and dinner. It will be a privilege to honor Jack at the dedication and to share the appreciation of the College and the Class with his family and friends.
More than a score of Twoters were at the Statler on January 22 to enjoy the centenary anniversary of the Dartmouth Alumni Association of Boston. Seated at three adjacent tables were Ray Atwood, Gray and Dorothy Bates, Bob and Lois Booth, Bill and Odie Lee Bullen, Haskell and Harriet Cohen, Carroll and Nan Dwight, Phil and Grace Gove, Carter and Alie Hoyt, Fran and Lucy Leland, Len Morrissey, Ced Porter. Dr. Dick and Dorothy Stetson, Mrs. Lillian Strauss, Dick Willis, Bud and Barbara Winkler. Hope every one of them and many more of the class family get back to Hanover for April 10 and 11.
Bunny and Gladys Bunnell are enjoying life in Menlo Park, Calif. Bunny reports they recently celebrated a birthday for Gladys with a group of old-time friends all of whom lived for many years, as the Bunnells did, in the Philippines. Bunny and Gladys also celebrated their 37th wedding anniversary last October. He plays golf two or three times a week on the Stanford course, but he thinks he ought to score lower than he does. Who doesn't? It's mighty good to get happy tidings about one of our Pacific classmates. Too many of them seem incommunicado. In this instance thanks to Spenny Smith for letting us eavesdrop on some welcome news.
Ken Chamberlain was sadly shocked by the report that his lifelong friend FrankGray had passed on. Ken and his wife Anna are busy and happy. As the parents of three boys and four girls, they have twenty grandchildren. Ken says, "And God willing we'll have another one soon." Two of the Chamberlain boys are veterinary doctors and the third is with a heavy construction and equipment company. The girls, in addition to being good wives, are teachers, nurses, and medical secretaries. Since his retirement from the Boston and Maine Railroad in 1960, Ken has kept enjoyably occupied doing a great deal of surveying. He recently took the New Hampshire exams to qualify as an accredited engineer and as he says, "What do you know, I passed." Good to hear from you, Ken, and to know you keep going well.
John L. Taylor, recently designated president and chief executive officer of the Edwards Co., Norwalk, Conn., has received additional merited acclaim from the "Norwalk Hour," excerpts:
After joining Edwards in 1924, Mr. Taylor be- came successively, a district manager, regional manager, general sales manager, marketing vice president and, in 1957, executive vice president. Edwards Co., founded in 1872, manufactures sig- naling communications, control and protection equipment at three plants in the U. S. and Canada.
During Mr. Taylor's term as executive vice pres- ident, 1957-63, the Edwards Co. expanded manu- facturing operations in two areas. A new produc tion facility was opened in Pittsfield, Me.; an the firm's Canadian operations were moved from Montreal to a new plant at Owen Sound, Ontario. As marketing vice president, Mr. Taylor was responsible for several fundamental policy decision affectine the Edwards Co. products and selling practices Among them: greater penetration into the institutional (hospital and school) signaling markets including the development of equipment and systems to serve the special requirements of this market. Earlier in his career with Edwards, while still district manager in the Chicago office, Mr Taylor was given the assignment of opening a central regional office for the Edwards Co., and staffing up for regional service. Many of the people he brought into the company during his 15 years in the Chicago office have since risen to responsible headquarters and field positions.
Once again, Jack, an accolade from all Twoters who can thank Rex Malmquist for forwarding this additional news about the newest president on the class role
Elmer and Frances Ardiff some time ago had a pleasant surprise. On a visit to New Orleans shortly after entering their room at the Hotel Roosevelt they leafed through one of those "what's going on in town" magazines. And there filling half a page was a picture of our Judge Sterry R. Watermanof St Johnsbury, Vt. Sterry as president of the American Judicature Society was shown presenting an award of the Society to Judge Harold R. Medina of the U. S. Court of Appeals, New York. Where else than at the Hotel Roosevelt, of course. Unfortunately the Watermans had left town before the Ardiffs checked in. Otherwise New Orleans might have heard a few Wah Hoo Wahs with a distinct New England accent.
Grace, the wife of our departed classmate Louis Thomas, writes, "Please extend to the Class of '22 my sincere thanks for the memorial book placed in the library at Dartmouth in the memory of Lou. There could be no more appropriate or meaningful remembrance."
Carter and Alie Hoyt are rejoicing in the arrival of their seventh grandchild, Susan Hoyt Langbein. The young lady made her debut January 16 in Okinawa where daddy Ed, Bowdoin '57, is serving Uncle Sam. Susan fortunately will never have to argue with mother Nancy, actually Colby Junior College and the Eliot-Pearson School at Tufts, but at heart a Dartmouth '22 gal, as to whether Susan is going to Bowdoin or Dartmouth. Golly, just happened to think it is possible Nancy could have changed her allegiance from Dartmouth '22 to Bowdom '57? Either way, Susan chose good parents.
