1923
John E. Moore, our newly elected president, has an interesting page in the famous '23 Scrap Book. In January '29, we read "John is still holding to the state of single blessedness." In March '36, "he has not been seen for about a year - in business some- where in metropolitan area - is married - has at least one addi- tion to his family." In June '41 — "New York Committee of Alumni Fund names John as chairman - Sales Manager for the Monroe Calculating Machine Company." In October '45, "Dartmouth Club of New York recently elected Johnny Moore President - John has the magic touch in Dartmouth activities and the Club looks forward to increasing success." In October '47, "John Moore, new vice president of the Alumni Association." June 1960 — John is manager of the uptown office of Monroe Calculating Division of Litton Industries, 99 Park Avenue, New York City " - is on board of governors of Dartmouth Club of New York."
July, 1963 — John attended our 40th, accompanied by his charming daughter, Valerie. At class meeting, he was duly elected president to a four-year term.
Our class meeting was a real success, probably as "satisfactory" a meeting as I have ever attended. The reports by each of the class officers were well delivered and pertinent and the whole program was neatly chaired by Charlie Rice. It set the tone for the entire reunion. So it was a little ironic that a couple of days after I got back to New York, I met Larry Eager at the Dartmouth Club and recaptured one of the lost opportunities of the brief reunion time. Aside from the fun of updating one on the other, we found we had a few outside mutual acquaintances on the Coast and fully exploited that subject, particularly expressing our mutual appreciation of Dick Carpenter, '10, whom I knew so well in New York City and Larry has learned to appreciate on the Coast. Those who were at the reunion know that Larry Eager is the same alert, gracious guy as ever and one who wears his years well. As for the Moores, they seem to be going along all right. My older daughter, Helen, is Mrs. Robert Sinclair, her husband being a physical chemist at Bell Labs in Murray Hill, N. J. They have two boys, one about a year and a half, and the other about three, don't expect me to be exact. To the grandsons, I am "Pops." I think it would be interesting to collect data on how grandfathers are addressed by their grandchildren. It is established by the first and determined to a large extent by whether the first is a boy or a girl. The word "Grandpa" is out.
I have a son, John Jr., who had to pick up the Junior, since we have a common birth date. He is serving a three-year term in the Air Force, and is a first lieutenant in an ACW Squadron, slightly out of the country. My younger daughter, Valerie, is 18, and has finished her first year at Rosemont College, Rosemont, Penna. That is the family news.
KLARENS LEARN IT'S CERTAINLYA SMALL WORLD
So. Strafford - Three thousand miles from their Strafford, Vt., home, Mr. and Mrs. Karl Otis Klaren were viewing a movie at Disneyland. This was shortly before Christmas, while the older Klarens were visiting their newly married son and his wife, Mr. and Mrs. Peter Klarens in Los Angeles. Entitled "America the Beautiful" and produced by the American Telephone Co. the movie presented such scenes as New York Harbor, Times Square, Williamsburg, Va., Pennsylvania steel mills, Detroit's auto proving grounds, San Francisco and the Grand Canyon. Then came scenes of a New England village - the approach to the common, the town house, the old brick church, and the post office, the fire station, and the Congregational Church. No doubt remained as to the identity of this village, when at the end, appeared one of the homes — it was the Klzarens' own house! Three thousand miles vanished in the twinkling of an eye.
For the record. Bill Kimball was elected president of the Island Inn Corp., Sanibel, Fla. This is the oldest resort hotel-motel operation on the Sanibel-Captiva chain of islands. Thus, Bill and Dot will be spending more time at their favorite vacation spot, with much work lined up for Bill. The Kimballs entertained the Everits, Hornes, Freemans, and Bob Maxwell in March.
At the Lakeside Residential Club, in Oakland, Calif., a birthday party was given on February 27, honoring members and guests with birthdays in January and February. After a buffet dinner, the special evening feature was a performance entitled "Cracked-Record Festival," which was written and produced by Johnny Allen. Reports say the show was a great success and will be repeated in other localities this spring.
Robert K. (Cocky) Lewis last spring completed 39 consecutive years with Lyndon Institute, Lyndon Center, Vt. The senior class of this school is dedicating a 16-page hard-cover brochure to Cocky and the subtitle is: 1924-1963 History Teacher: Athletic Coach - Assistant Headmaster - Headmaster. Included in the brochure are the personal comments of six former students ranging from the class of '30 to '55, which reveal the high favor with which the headmaster was held. When Cocky was asked what they called him, he replied, " 'Pop' to my face and 'Cocky' behind my back."
Hollis Riddle in his capacity as assistant comptroller of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company, writes that he travels between 60 and 70,000 miles a year abroad. He handles all of the accounting, financial, and commercial activities of Goodyear's thirty foreign subsidiaries. These companies are engaged in fourteen different operations. Holly and Lois go to a Montana ranch every summer where they take pack trips up into the Rockies and do considerable fishing.
The Phil Smiths and Art and Adah Event were at their Manor of Truman's Place in Hughesville, Md., for two weeks of goose hunting in December. Phil is secretary of his "Goosing Club" (Canadian honkers), a job he has been trying to saddle onto a successor for many years, but without success.
If any '23 families travel northeast to Maine next summer, be sure to include Weld, Me., on the itinerary of the trip. It is here that you will find Joe and Alice Pollard on their farm, built in 1818 and purchased by them in 1936 and it is from this headquarters that you can take trips to the Rangeley or Moosehead area. Joe spends his spare time cutting out new vistas, offsetting the greenery by building a stone wall or attending to necessary repairs and fresh coats of paint.
Al and Linda Pianca's daughter, Alicia, returned last summer from Madrid, where she had been for a year, under a Fulbright grant, doing research for her Harvard doctoral degree. This winter she has been teaching Spanish and French at Franklin College in Indiana. Their son, Alvin, is assistant professor of Spanish at Franklin and Marshall College, Lancaster, Penna.
Kanky and Mildred Chun have just returned to their native Hawaii, after a three months' tour of the United States, and Canada. Their original intention was to stay until Christmas, but Mildred came down with a head cold, which cut their trip short Kanky sends his best to the gang.
