1923

Your secretary thofoughly enjoyed the three years he was privileged to serve on the Alumni Council. Those years he was a member of the Bequest and Estate Planning Committee. In his second year he was a member of the executive committee of the council and attended several meetings. in New York at the Pan Am Building, meetings at which Jim Landauer was chairman. After one of the meetings he enjoyed an interesting tour of the Pan Am Building. On July 1 his term expired.

Your secretary now starts his twelfth year on the job. He is looking for the promised replacement. In the meantime he will: do his best to fulfill the duties of this time consuming, but rewarding, position.

Tru Metzel was elected last June to a three-year term on the Alumni Council. He represents the Bequest and Estate Planning Association of the College on the Council and was immediately named chairman of the Council's bequest and estate planning committee. Truman, as you may remember, is a director of Controls Company of America and Soreng Products.

It is always a pleasure to get a card from Go Bliss. This time it is a picture of his 35-foot cruiser, Liberty II. The Blisses ran into Charlie Cooley in Orleans and learned that Charlie's wife Maude passed away last January. .

The sympathy of the class goes out to George Plant on the death of his wife Ursula on July 4. She was so proud of her eight grandchildren.

Barbara and I were very happy and privileged to attend a dinner meeting of the Dartmouth Alumni Council on June 16 when Lou Wilcox received an Alumni Award for distinguished achievement and service to his college and community. Lou received a citation and a replica of the Wentworth Bowl which was presented to Eleazar Wheelock by Governor Wentworth.

Lou and Peg's two sons, Lou Jr. and David, were at the banquet and witnessed the presentation. The boys arrived in Hanover without their father's knowledge. They surprised him at the Dickey cocktail party which preceded the banquet. Peg planned this surprise. It was very fitting to have our classmate Jim Landauer, the president of the Alumni Council, make the presentation and it is my hope that every member of the class will read the citation which Jim read. It was printed in full in the July issue of the MAGAZINE.

In June Jim Landauer completed his term as president of the Alumni Council. Jim did a tremendous job as president. He conducted the meetings of the Council in a masterful way, and steered the Council through some difficult situations. 1923 has a good right to be proud of him.

Dartmouth Alumni College, 1965, was a great success. 1923 had eleven sophomores, one son, and two grandchildren on the rolls, namely: Chet and Barbara Bixby, Barbara Lee Bixby and Lisa Thornton; Frank andGladys Doten, Sidney J. Flanigan, Karl andLee Klaren, Jim and Ruth Landauer, Ivanand Eleanor Martin, Tru and Bunny Metzel, Jack Zimmerman '53 and wife Jodi, son of John C. Zimmerman.

According to Mike McGean every person arrived at class on time. There were no cuts, and all final exams were 100% correct.

Ike Miller '22 was elected Director of the Alumni College, taking Ambassador Briggs' place. Ike was well known to 1923 as he arrived on the campus with Rusty Sargent from Dayton, Ohio in September 1919. Under his supervision this college should grow and prosper.

1935 was the only class with a larger delegation than 1923. The only news to broadcast to the class worth mentioning is the fact that Irish Flanigan arrived at college with 20 nieces and nephews and ended up with 21.
