1920

I'll start off with the opening game of the year, the Dartmouth-New Hampshire game. The first person I saw as I arrived in Hanover was Pat Holbrook who told me of his recent marriage to Nancy Ann Larsen. The September Green Sheet gives the particulars. At the game I saw Charles and Elsa Crathern, Ralph and Mildred Sunergren, and Phil and Hilda Gross were there although I didn't get to see them, and there may have been others. After the game I found Al Foley celebrating at the DU house and had a chance to get the local news straight from the horse's mouth. The day of the Holy Cross game was warm and sunny and we sat between the Cratherns and Doc and Harriett Miller, and saw a really good game.

Carl and Mimi Newton were in Scottsdale, Ariz., last winter and it seems he is a portrait painter of considerable talent as well as a sleight-of-hand artist. Jim Chilcott writes in glowing terms telling of the good times he and Ruth had renewing Dartmouth friendship with the Newtons. It was unfortunate that Mimi was hospitalized with pneumonia but it did afford an opportunity for Jim to be a model for Carl, and not only did he get his portrait painted but during the hours of "sitting" he listened to Carl's very interesting experiences as president of the C & O RR, his work as Coal Administrator during WW II and his exciting contacts with such men as Harold Ickes and John L. Lewis. The Chilcotts had more good times this summer salmon fishing with Pauland Sylvia Sample, and again renewing their '20 friendship. Not much was said about the fishing accomplishments of any but Sylvia. Apparently she was the fisher gal, as on the very last evening of the trip she caught. two salmon, 18 and 20 pounders. What a catch!

A note from Nate Whiteside says he keeps in touch periodically with Henry Spero in business, he being a graphic arts machinery and equipment dealer. The Whitesides plan to be in Hanover at the time of the Penn game. Sherry and Elizabeth Baketel expect to be in Canaan at that time, and Elizabeth is going to enter a prize-winning hooked rug at the Sandwich (N. H.) Fair. And as Al Foley told in his recent Green Sheet the Sampsons, Sammie and Dot, have invited all '20s to their home for an afterthe-Penn-game party. However, by the time this issue of the ALUMNI MAGAZINE is received these dates will be a thing of the past. The Sampsons, by the way, stopped in to see us in mid-August on their way to take son George to camp in Wolfeboro. This was after they had returned from a two-month trip in Europe and the British Isles. The world is getting smaller all the time as whom should they meet in Delft, Holland but StanConway who was traveling in Europe.

Red Barnes likes living in beautiful Conway, N. H., in the summer but he and Elizabeth head each winter for Barbados in the British West Indies. A word from John Sunderland tells of a minor heart attack from which he has recovered without ill effects. He is back on the job although he leaves the brunt of the work to others but he does get up to the family ranch occasionally and enjoys playing "cowboys" with his grandchildren. Ed Stern is another good '20 still on the job after serious lung surgery a year ago, and not even thinking of retiring. Carl andDorothy Lenz left Scarsdale recently for a two-month trip to Japan and other Oriental countries. They plan to be back home for the holidays. Although Clyde Bidwell lives in Easton, Conn., he doesn't seem to spend much time there. He keeps busy hunting, fishing, golfing, and taking trips to Vermont where he and Dagma have a summer home. They are also planning a three-month trip around the world by freighter in February. At last we hear from Art Pfeiffer who is still going strong in his same shoe business on Beacon Street, Worcester, active and in good health. Although Mugs Morrill retired from New England Merchants National Bank he can't seem to really break away, and now that the bank has opened its lush quarters in the Prudential Center, Mugs is sharing an office with a former Chairman of the Board on the 49th floor. Mugs, being facetious, says he has never before had so many people working under him. Somebody should persuade Tom Dudley to slow up. He is much too busy and too conscientious. Paul Kay has been keeping himself very busy especially since Ruth died. He tells of seeing Sherm Adams in church in No. Woodstock while he was spending a month in the White Mountains. Paul also spent a month in the Poconos and is planning to spend January and February in the nice climate of the Hawaiian Islands. And speaking of Sherm Adams, the September 30 Boston Herald showed a picture of him with a caption "Adams in Eden" as he scans the primitive woods near Loon Mountain near Lincoln, N. H., where he is constructing a $700,000 ski area.

From Sam Stratton we hear that he has retired again, this time from the vice-presidency of the Prentice-Hall, Inc. and has moved; his " legal address now being Fern Cottage, Creek Road, Rutland, Vt., in the summer but 226 Madison Ave., New York in the winter. Recalling that last year he and Mrs. Samuel Howard were married and went on an extensive trip to Honolulu and Hong Kong, this October they are planning to sail for Europe - as Sam puts it, to recover from moving. Rus Jones has retired and is so busy with puppies, remodeling his house, gardening, etc., that he wonders how he ever had time to go to business. He no longer has his in-town apartment and his permanent address is The Hill, North Salem, N. Y. Paul Richter seems to get around. He and Hal Bidwell have just returned from a trip through the battlefields of Pennsylvania. I don't know whether the occasion was more than to refresh their history. Dean Travis, of Bozeman, Mont., sent in a picture from his local newspaper of Coach Dan Andretta '5B who teaches in Cooper, Wyo., and last summer coached the Bozeman American Legion team, taking them all the way to the State Championship. Dan is married and has two lovely children and, you have guessed it, is the son of our own Sal Andretta. Dean is pleased also to report that three topranking Bozeman H.S. boys were admitted to Dartmouth this fall. A note from Steinyand Elinor Steinholtz tells of the marriage of his stepdaughter to Albert Murphy '53, and they are very happy to have a Dartmouth boy come into the family. They keep in touch with Al and Emilie Palmer of Eustis, Fla., and Jim and Elizabeth Robertson of Centerville on the Cape. A word from Jim Reber tells of his retirement in February '63 from the Metropolitan Edison, and the death of his wife, Sarah, in March of this year. A few days after his retirement, however, he became Clerk of Quarter Sessions Office of Berks County, Pa., and enjoys this work, especially as it keeps him busy now that he is alone. The sympathy of the Class goes to you Jim, in your recent sadness.

A note from Al Palmer of Eustis, Fla., tells of his visit to Ty Green in Crystal River, Fla. It had been three years since he had seen him and at that time Ty was hale and hearty, and active in the real estate business with his son Ronnie. Ty, however, had a stroke two years ago and after eight months of hospitalization he is at home, and although he gets around in a walker, he is confined mostly to his bed. Laddie Myers made a special trip out to see Ty and says his spirits are good, he is uncomplaining, and hopeful that he will regain his health so he can get back to Hanover. Ty has led a busy life, bringing up six sons, and one of his civic accomplishments is the organizing of an Episcopal Church, an attractive edifice near his home. A line from any of the '20 boys would be appreciated I am sure, especially the DKE boys. His address is George B. L. Green, Box 433, Crystal River, Fla. Paul and Lydia Hutchinson have returned from a quick trip to Europe, the main objective being to look up their ancestors on one of the Western Isles of Scotland. After golfing at St. Andrews and Gleneagles they attended the Highland Gathering at Braemar and rubbed elbows with the Queen and the Royal family. They flew home by the way of Madrid and Lisbon and will be on hand for the tailgate gatherings before the fall football games.

And now for the sad part of the news. Art Pierce, who retired only last year as Superintendent of Schools in Hanover died suddenly at his new retirement home on the Cape. Also a clipping from the Boston Herald tells of the death of Capt. E. H. Taylor, M.D. of the USN Medical Corps. In Memoriams for both will appear in this or a subsequent issue of the ALUMNI MAGAZINE and the Class extends its sympathy to the surviving members of these two classmates' families. Also Grace Newcomer sent in a clipping telling of the death of Mrs. Leah S. Trent, wife of Francis Trent. The sympathy of the Class is with you, Francis, in your sadness.

Although this is not what you would call a particularly good foliage year - probably because of dry weather, the air is crisp and it is football time, so Wah-hoo-wah!
