1923

President John Moore proudly announces the appointment of Ken Quencer as chairman of the 45th 1923 reunion which takes place in June '67. Ken recovered nicely from a heart attack in 1964 and a gall bladder attack on New Year's Eve by spending eight leisurely weeks at the Bellevue Butmore and at Sea Island last winter. He polished off this vacation with a month of golf in February and finished up with an 80. In July Ken and Jeannette were at the Mountain View House in Whitefield.

At the same time he named Connie Dodge as chairlady of the Women of 1923. More about the incomparable Connie in the next issue.

This editor pauses to pay his respects and those of 1923 to the memory of Sidney Chandler Hayward '26, a truly great Dartmouth man. The sympathy of every man in the class goes out to Sid's beloved Barbara.

Dwight and Annette Haigh spent a few weeks in Florida last winter. Dwight says his F. Dwight Haigh and Associates is really a one-man operation. He handles brass, copper, and steel accounts at the mill level, also industrial building products such as industrial doors. His operation is in Toledo.

Dud Hawkins keeps very busy in the sales end of Continental Can's metal can division. He plans to retire in June after 34 years. He attended the Boston dinner in January and was very happy to see his old roommate, Jim Landauer, present the Alumni Council Paul Revere bowls. 1923 attendance was very poor. The old guard with the exception of Clark, Blake Akin, and Clough, seemed to be away on trips.

Dud has two sons, aged 15 and 17, in school so he plans to engage in real estate after retirement and continue to live in Hamilton.

George Mason was recently elected a member of the board of directors of Presmet Corporation. Presmet makes industrial components from metal powers. George grad- uated from Harvard Law School in 1926. He was a law instructor at Northeastern University for 12 years and is now a partner in the law firm of Vaughn, Esty, Crotty, & Mason. George is a past president of Worcester Citizens Plan E Association. He specializes in labor law and is reputed to be the state's most able labor lawyer.

Everett S. Lyons has retired as pastor of the United Congregational Church in East Providence and is now living in Shelburne, Mass. For thirty years Everett has been an ardent member of the Society of Philatelic Americans, the R. I. Philatelic Society and several cancellation societies. He has given over a hundred lectures on stamp collecting. If anyone is interested in obtaining an afterdinner speaker Everett would be an excellent possibility.

John Adams writes from Topeka, Kan., that young John '60, whom we remember so well in our 1956 fall reunion and our 1957 mid-winter reunion, is located in New York City with Bankers Trust Company. John is still at the helm of Adams Business Forms, Inc.

The following report by Ted Caswell is long overdue in these columns:

You mentioned my personal business situation when we were together last. After 75 years of successful operation, the F. S. Webster Co., by transfer of stock was purchased by the Interchemical Corp. which is a very large corporation doing nearly 200 million dollars a year. It had a carbon and ribbon division and wanted an East Coast plant as their division was located in Cincinnati. I have nearly two years of active work until I retire at 65. I have previously planned to do so so this change makes no difference in my plans. We have every hope of spending most of our time living in our Cape Cod House and making that our permanent home as long as we have our health we hope to continue traveling and visiting our many good friends around the country and seeing foreign countries.

This is a tardy announcement of a very courageous activity of Win Wadleigh in Manchester, N. H. Win has always been extremely active in social service, religious, hospital and community projects. Last spring he became president of the newly organized chapter of the National Association of the Advancement of Colored People in Manchester. The practice of law is Win's vocation. He is a member of the firm of Wyman, Starr, Booth, Wadleigh, and Langdell which boasts four Dartmouth partners. Win's son Ted is practicing law with his dad. Ted was in the class of '56.

Win does not plan to retire. He and Sylvia were in Europe for three weeks this fall. He has just been elected to membership in an organization named Phi Beta Kappa Associates along with three college presidents (Rutgers, U. of California, and U. of Vermont). The organization is limited to 200 members. Incidentally, Jules Rippel is a life member of this group.

It is with heartfelt sorrow that we announce, at this late date, the death of Jacqueline Haubrick in September 1964. She was the daughter of Joan and the late HaubHaubrick in Claremont, N. H. Jackie graduated from Northfield and Colby Junior College and attended the Dartmouth summer school in July and August 1964.

Lou Wilcox on September 15, mailed out his annual letter lining up his 1966 class agents. Lou has a real retreat up on Dogford Road in Etna. The house already looks as if it has been lived in for years. Peg has done a magnificent job. Lou is busy building rock retaining walls and developing a garden. As for his 1965 fund accomplishments, 70 increased their gifts by a total of $6,255 and 21 gave this year who didn't give last year. If he had been able to add the dollars of the 39 who decreased their gifts and the 16 who did not give this year but did last, he would have broken all 1923 records.

The Minnesota-Wisconsin '23 reunion was held this year at Bud and Connie Freeman's home in Racine. The Kimballs (Bill and Dorothy) flew up from Florida, Shunt andEugenie Turnbull came over from Detroit, Major Bird drove from Adrian and the Williams (Karl and Dear) of Rockford completed the party. The reunion was a great success. The weather was ideal. There was much activity at the bridge, poker, and scrabble tables, and the unanimous decision was to continue these September get-togethers indefinitely. In appreciation, the 1923 participants presented the Freemans with a piece of delightful garden statuary.

Leon F. (Rusty) Sargent, my old roommate, was recently invited to become a fellow of the American College of Trial Lawyers at a meeting in Miami in August. Rusty would have preferred Palm Springs, Calif., the scene of next February meeting to Miami's 99° temperature.

It is our understanding that Karl Williams has been a fellow of this college for some years and that he was present at the ceremony.

Charlie Rice '23 received the "Boss of theYear" award of the Hartford, Conn.,Association of Insurance Women. Charlie's secretary, Miss Dorothy Allen (r),looks on as the group's president, MissMary Lauda, presents award to her boss.
