1920

Bill Carter's son Doug sent a clipping from a Washington newspaper which tells us that our Sal Andretta, the administrative assistant attorney general, celebrated his 30th year with the Justice Department. He was honored at ceremonies presided over by Attorney Gen. Nicholas deß. Katzenbach and in his praise for Sal said "I don't know what I would do without him," and we '20s take our hats off to him also.

I met and renewed acquaintance with Ed Healey '18 at one of the Sarasota Dartmouth affairs. He was staying at a nearby Lido Beach motel and we enjoyed socializing back and forth. It is no longer a secret, that a sculptured bust of Ed is going to be transferred from the Football Hall of Fame to Hanover the first week in May with due ceremony, and he and Luke will be on hand to receive the honor he so well deserves.

Here is a "new" in collegiate sports. Dartmouth will play the Wildcats of the University of New Hampshire under the lights twice in May; on the 20th in Portsmouth and on the 25th in Concord. This is the first time Dartmouths' baseball team has played away from its own campus and the game at Concord has been arranged as a phase of the city's bicentennial celebration. Red Rolfe '31, a native of Penacook, former Yankee star and now Director of Athletics at Dartmouth, was instrumental in the planning of this unusual treat for New Hampshire baseball fans, and the sponsors are hopeful that this game will draw a goodly crowd. Game time will be at 4:00 P.M. at either Rollins Park or White Park.

From Paul Richter and Abe Weld '21 we hear the Mid-Winter Frolic of the two classes held at the Highway Motel in Concord on March 6 was a great success with 51 attending from the two classes. ShermAdams was the speaker of the evening and I understand he was excellent. Since Rachael was not able to come along Ted Marden drove down with Sherm. I don't have a list of the '20s but I know that the Spaldings, Ken and Hilda - the Cratherns, Charlie and Elsa - the Dalrymples, Dal andMarguerite - the Hills, Buttons and Eva — the McAllisters, John and Helene were there and I think Sam and Marion Center, and of course Paul and Lillian Richter. It was unfortunate that the date conflicted with the annual Dartmouth Band Variety Night in Hanover as this like attraction known as "Foley's Follies, Volume #2" was probably the reason none of the Hanover '20s budged away from their own source of entertainment, especially as Al Foley was emceeing the show.

While we are speaking of Al, let me call your attention to Al's Town and Gown page in the March ALUMNI MAGAZINE. He always has some interesting yarn to spin but his "Legislator in Montpelier" is really worth reading for others as well as local Vermonters.

Howard and Dorothy Hitchcock were staying at Madeira Beach (St. Pete). They were in our vicinity on Longboat and we were up at Madeira but neither of us had the other's address at the time so we just missed seeing the Hitchcocks both here and there. The 1918 Florida Pow Wow to which both '19 and '20 classes were invited was very successful. It was held on the 10th floor of the Sheraton Hotel which afforded a beautiful panorama of Ft. Lauderdale on the shore side and on the ocean side were seaworthy ships waiting off-shore to get dock space to unload. The infectious flu has been going the rounds in Florida as well as other parts of the country and it had its effect on the attendance of this Pow Wow so that the '20 table dwindled to six, ye president Charlie McGoughran, who has been in Ft. Lauderdale for the winter; Leoand Alice Ungar who are staying at the Diplomat in Hollywood; Hib Richter who is settling for winter life in Pompano and Hazel and I, who have been lazing on the island of Longboat since Christmas. There were about 46 at the dinner and about 42 at the luncheon next day. The 1918 and 1919 class notes in this same issue will give a more detailed report of this Pow Wow.

While on the East coast we called in on the Bun Harveys. We saw Dot but Bun had recently had a relapse of the flu and was in the hospital where he could get the needed care. Late report says he is better and out again. We called also on Ted and Margaret Weis. who.had just.leased a.delightful apartment in Pompano on N.E. 10th Street a block from the beach. Ted is recovering from a sickness of last fall but didn't feel quite up to the Pow Wow. We looked up the Ed Curtises also, and had no trouble finding their swank home on the waterfront at Golden Beach in Hollywood. We had a nice visit with Vera but unfortunately we did not find Ed at home. We wondered too, how he could possibly be away from such a delightful spot for even part of a day.

We had expected to see Nate and Mildred Whiteside at the Pow Wow but when they dropped in on us last week we learned that although they were nearby at the time on one of the Key West keys Mildred had a bout with the flu and was confined at the time to her hotel.

We also had a nice surprise visit from Tom and Dorothy Dudley of Concord. They were on their way north after a rather fast trip around Florida. We tried to prevail upon them to tarry a while in the sunshine but being the conscientious doctor that Tom is he had to be on his way north and back to his patients. We stopped in again on Bing and Jane Whitaker at Redington Beach (St. Pete) and found them in just about the same spot - just sittin' in the sun taking life very easy. They are staying another month.

I had thought we were going to get by this issue without mention of any more deaths but in this morning's mail came notice that Joe Lindsey died Thursday, March 18 at the Albany Veterans Hospital after a long illness. An In Memoriam notice will appear in this or a subsequent issue and the Class extends sympathy to Joe's surviving wife Mary and a sister, Mrs. Good-hue of Ipswich, Mass.

Time flies. Here it is Alumni Fund time again. Remember Jack Mayer is doing a tremendous job so let's give him and his committee a break. Let's all jump on the bandwagon and perhaps we can dig down a little deeper and make the check a little bigger this year. Cheerio for now!
