1922
Henceforth the diligent work Carter Hoyt does so devotedly as our dedicated Class Agent will reflect a new address. He and Alie, accompanied by myriad good wishes, have moved from West Newton to Norway Hill Road, Hancock, N. H. They will be greatly missed by a legion of friends in the Newtons where they were very active in church and community affairs. Research into class population trends indicates that the Hoyts are also doing well in "additions." Son Carter '50 and wife Peni live in Glenview, Ill., with their daughter and two sons. Daughter Barbara and husband Sandy Baker live in Indianapolis with their three sons. Daughter Nancy and husband Ed Langbein with their daughter live at Fort Benning, Ga. Seven grandchildren each put the Hoyts and the Kenyons in a tie, an unsatisfactory situation that undoubtedly will be settled in the near future. Meanwhile, the best wishes from the Class to Carter and Alie for many years of great happiness in their new home.
Frederick H. Levis, vice president and manager of Lionel D. Edie & Co., gave an evening speech some time ago at Asheville, N. C., on "Significant Aspects of the National Economy." The program was sponsored by a New York investment firm with an office in Asheville. The local Citizen Times reported: "Lionel D. Edie is a well-known economic consultant firm with headquarters in Philadelphia and New York. Levis is a graduate of Dartmouth College and founder of Lionel D. Edie, which was organized in 1931. His experience includes investment securities and industrial management." Evidently, the report did not consider it newsworthy but Twoters will recall that Fred came to Dartmouth from St. Luke's School, Wayne, Pa.; that his experience also includes service as a Lt. Colonel in World War II and the European Ribbon with two battle stars; and that since 1958 he has been a trustee of the Stephen Girard Philanthropic Foundation. Fred and Louise live at 10 Waterman Ave., Chestnut Hill, Philadelphia, and they have two daughters and a son. Albeit somewhat tardily, and even via Asheville, it is good to hear of our Philadelphia classmate.
Eaton Leith has formally retired from his chairmanship of the Department of Romance Languages at Bowdoin College, but he will continue on as Professor of Romance Languages as he has for the past 29 years. First appointed to the Bowdoin faculty in 1936 after teaching at Harvard and Dartmouth, Eaton is now one of the senior faculiy members. He had been chairman of his department since 1956. Active in Brunswick, Me., civic activities and as a fraternity adviser for many years, he has been honored by the donation of an Eaton Leith Cup and an Eaton Leith Prize, both awarded annually to outstanding students.
Steve Kenyon, gifted editor of that labor of loyalty — our always interesting newsletter, the Twoter - Continues his talented attachment to advertising and marketing. After leaving daily commutation to Manhattan and a vice presidency on Madison Avenue, Steve is now operating his own business as a marketing-advertising consultant in Wyckoff, N. J. And well he can after 40 years' successful experience with some of the best nationally-known advertising agencies. Hearsay has it that his growing business already includes several companies which realize that demonstrated competence has no substitute. In "additions," Steve and Vi are also becoming entrants in our grandparents' sweepstakes. Daughter Adele and her husband, John Mimnaugh, had their third daughter in February. Son Elliott and his wife, Page, likewise had their third child, a second daughter, less than a year ago. And son Stephen and wife have their first child'. So, chalk up seven grandchildren for Steve and Vi but they need at least eight to qualify in the semi-finals.
Bill and Jean Rex were parents of the groom when son William E. Rex 2d married Judy Freyermuth on February 27 in San Francisco. Young Bill '54 is a member of the New York Stock Exchange and a vice president of Clark, Dodge & Co. in New York. Robert M. Rex '57 was his brother's best man. Judy is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George H. Freyermuth of San Francisco and formerly of Scarsdale, N. Y. A graduate of La Chatelainie in St. Blaise, Switzerland, she attended Wellesley College and was graduated from Duke University in 1961. And this old note scribbler must add that from her picture in the New York Times, Judy was an exceedingly pretty bride. '22 wishes the newlyweds a life of happiness now and always.
Was Walt Sands reelected? Certainly deserved it with his experience of ten full terms. Sometime before Town Meeting, the Lexington Minute Man - that's the town paper, not Walt himself - pictured our photogenic classmate and had this to say about him: "Walter E. Sands, 65, 57 Meriam St., for reelection: served ten terms, attended all meetings; president and owner, King Arthur Flour Co.; Sands, Taylor & Wood Co.; married (Doris Louise Graham 6-1-28 - can't figure out whether that's the date of the wedding or her birthday); three children (Frank '58, Bob '59, Sylvia, Vassar '62); resident 33 years; chairman Cary Lecture Committee; chairman Protection Division C. D. during war years; chairman Committee for Town Manager System; past president Lexington Golf Club; past president Lexington Historical Society; former chairman Red Cross; former chairman Community Fund Drive; 8.5., Dartmouth College (and loyally 1922); graduate degree B. U.; graduate Dunwoody Institute M.8.C." What office was he running for? Well, obviously everyone in Lexington knew because the Minute Man does not say. Anyway, Walt's record of community service speaks for itself and '22 is mighty proud to have Minute Man Sands and his family in the clan.
Small World Department - Class grandchildren becoming so numerous '22 infants meet each other at baptisms. Bill and OdieLee Bullen with granddaughter Sarah, her pa, Jed Bullen '60, and her ma, Debbie, all went to the Newton Centre Congregational Church on a bright Sunday for Sarah's baptism. Completely by coincidence Carter andAlie Hoyt with granddaughter Susan, her pa Ed Langbein and her ma Nancy (Hoyt) arrived at the same time for Susan's baptism. So Sarah met Susan and grandpa Hoyt as moderator of the church assisted the minister in the christening of the children. Reports that loyalty to each father prompted Sarah to shriek for Dartmouth and Susan to shrill for Bowdoin must remain unconfirmed for a few years.
As another S.W.D. note, John Kattwinkel is listed in the College directory as a graduate student in the Medical School. Class records indicate Dr. Egon E. Kattwinkel, who died about a year ago, had a son John born in 1942 so this young man is most likely Kattie's son. Also of interest is the hearsay that some few months before he passed away, Kattie successfully directed surgery and post-operative care for his sophomore year roommate Horace Shepard who came from Bethel, Conn., to Newton Hospital to be under Kattie's care.
