1922
Last call for our Little Reunion, April 10 and 11, at the Hanover Inn. This final summons may still reach you early enough to get there. Simply call the Inn and make your reservation. Our red carpet will be out and everyone will be delighted to see you.
John C. Woods adds luster to class honors in the pre-eminence he holds as president of the Union League Club of New York. One of the country's most famous and influential clubs, Union League passed its centennial last year. It was established during the Civil War for the purpose of aiding the Union. John can set us straight as to the veracity of Cleveland Amory's statement that "New York's Union League has long been proud of its four prohibitions - 'no women, no dogs, no Democrats, no reporters.' " John as all classmates know, of course, since 1946 has also been president of Brooks Brothers, Inc., and of A. De Pinna Co. He served as a major in World War II and is a trustee of New York University. And the Class can thank Frank Horan for letting us in on John's presidency of one of the most distinguished clubs in the nation.
Warren F. Daniel! is now back in Bangor after dividing his time and long experience with the Great Northern Paper Co. between its Maine operations and Blakley, Ga. Owning over two million acres of timberland in Maine, Great Northern is the largest U.S. manufacturer of newsprint and supplies more than 220 newspapers. The company is also engaged in a major diversification program of developing and making specialty papers and has built a new, large kraft board mill in Georgia. These varied interests have kept Dan on the go in his recent appointment as assistant to vice president of operations.
In updating us on Dan the Bangor News says: "Daniell came with the company in 1922, following his graduation from Dartmouth College where he majored in physics and mathematics. After two years as an apprentice, he became superintendent of the ground-wood mill at East Millinocket and in 1936, superintendent of the Millinocket mill. In 1945, he was appointed superintendent of the Bureau of Tests. He was placed in charge of the Engineering Department as Chief Engineer in 1950 and since 1956 he has held the position of manager of the combined engineering and research departments. He has taken an active part as a member of the Millinocket Budget Committee and the School Committee. He is past president of the Millinocket Chamber of Commerce. He is also a Fellow of the American Society of Civil Engineers, and President of the Maine Association of Engineers."
It's no surprise to Twoters that Dan has achieved prominence in business and community affairs. Of even greater interest to our clan, however, is the fine family Dan and Mary have raised and educated. With their 38th wedding anniversary celebrated in July, they are the proud parents of Warren F. Jr. '48; Harry W., Cornell '50; Samuel H. '52; Jerry Rogers '55; Susan, Middlebury '58; and Elizabeth, Mt. Holyoke '60. The Class is proud to have the Daniells in its clan. Let's hope in the next generation there will be plenty more Daniells and many young Dans at Dartmouth, and - well, maybe at some other good colleges, too.
Even a cynic occasionally stumbles across something genuinely impressive, particularly when it has no tinge of status seeking. In this case the "something" appeared in The Chatterbox, a pamphlet prepared monthly for the patients of the Institute of Living, a famous non-profit psychiatric hospital at Hartford, Conn. Along with other notices, the pamphlet lists the recreational and therapeutic activities available to patients. Tucked away in the listings was the simple one line announcement that on a specified evening Dr. Nicholas Giorgio would present a "Magic Show" for the patients. Nothing more, just a busy physician giving some of his extremely limited free time and recreational skill to make some other people forget themselves for an hour or two. Sure, Nick would say it was nothing, yet somehow it was deeply impressive and made one feel good to realize that Dr. Nick belongs to our Class.
With a myriad of good wishes for the future Elmer F. Ardiff: retired March 26 from the New England Telephone Company. His career covered 42 years of successful management activities in the Bell System. Shortly after his retirement Elmer and good wife Frances went airborne to San Francisco thence Honolulu, Tokyo. Hong Kong, Bangkok, India, the Near East, and Europe. Happy landings all the way and through the many good years to come.
King E. Fauver, our distinguished barrister of Elyria, Ohio, contrived just before Christmas to break a leg. By mid-February he hoped to be uncasted. King's misfortune, however, possibly had one bright aspect. While he was disabled the time came for him and Anne Lee to shift dwellings. Our eminent attorney thereby got an opportunity denied most males. He had the freedom and the time to express his creative talent as a latent interior decorator. He expounded unequivocally on such matters as decoration, coloration, and furniture fixation. Undoubtedly he pleaded his case with forthright logic and acknowledged jurisprudence in full accordance with Blackstone. Yet as to the ultimate judgment, he remains understandably mute. All of which probably proves the shoemaker should stick to his last. Sincerely hope your leg is all better, King, and that you are now back practicing law. And please hold brother attorney Frank Horan inculpable for the distortion of any preceding allegations. Lots of us men have a suppressed yen to be interior decorators.
Steve Tredennick's widow, Reine, has moved to a new home at 27 Chabot Terrace, San Francisco. Daughters Sue and Sandra love the city that is everybody's other home town, but they have not forgot ten New England. Sue is a sophomore at Mills College and Sandra, a Bradford and Boston University graduate, is busy as a secretary.
Andy Marshall's visit to Boston in February gave him and your scribe the opportunity for a most pleasant lunch together. Subjects discussed were the past, present, and future of Dartmouth with nostalgic obligates such as existence in New Hampshire Hall in 1918, the S.A.T.C. - particularly Company I, Sergeants Hicks, Ruggles and Stanley, and our commandant Capt. Max Patterson. Remember - who could forget?
Many classmates look forward to seeing many other Twoters at the Hanover Inn, April 10 and 11.
