1922
An Indian Yell for each of these Twoters who has recently added luster to the annals of '22:
Carter Hoyt, Head Agent, and all the '22 agents who worked so earnestly last spring on the Alumni Fund. Through their dedication the Class achieved 115 per cent of its dollar objective. To them and to all who made this result possible the Class offers its genuine gratitude.
Jack Dodd for continuing his service on the Board of Trustees where he is beginning his second full term. Jack is vice chairman of the Dartmouth Trustees Committee on Alumni and Public Affairs and a member of the Committee on the Budget, the Committee on Buildings and Grounds and the Trustees Planning Committee for which he is serving as chairman of the sub-committee making a study of faculty and staff compensation.
Killy Kilmarx on receiving the Dartmouth Alumni Award, highest honor of the Alumni Council, on June 15 in Hanover. The citation listing some of Killy's many activities for the College was in the July issue.
Carroll Dwight on his appointment to the Alumni Council to which he will bring the experience of almost fifty years of work and devotion to the Class and the College.
Haskell Cohn on his election as president of the Harvard Law School Alumni Association of Massachusetts and his membership on the general council of the Harvard Law School Alumni Association.
Sincere thanks also go to the good wives without whose help and encouragement, Grandpa's activities on behalf of the College could be curtailed. So, '22 particularly thanks Allie Hoyt, Fran Dodd, Elizabeth Kilmarx, Nan Dwight, and Harriet Cohn.
And, as an afterthought, with the blocks and tackles resounding again, it may be timely to reiterate that one Sumner D. Kilmarx as president of the Athletic Council in 1951 strongly advocated the selection of one Robert L. Blackman as head coach of the Big Green. Not another word about that now on the eve of another season; the record speaks for itself. But, thanks again, Killy.
Classmates in various stages of retirement: Walt Aschenbach, J. Regan Brown, RalphBruckner, Al Crampton, Dex Dexheimer,Bill Harris, Ed Laycock, Andy Marshall,Harvey Moses, Johnny Shea, Sutty Suttmeier, Dick Wood, and probably several others. Hope to have a dossier on each of them as the year goes along.
All Twoters would have enjoyed the Annual Jacob H. Strauss Exhibition in the Strauss Gallery at Hopkins Center last spring. The works shown were by Mexican artists Orozco and Morado, but the memories were of Jack.
Amid myriad friends and flowers Carrolland Nan Dwight saw daughter Susan and Paul Edwin Prindle married June 26 in The First Church, Chestnut Hill, Mass. Susan is a graduate of Beaver Country Day School and Wellesley '63. A debutante of the 1959-60 season she was presented at the Debutante Assembly and honored at a luncheon at the Country Club in December of that year. Paul is a graduate of Brown '59. And, after wishing the newlyweds Godspeed, who were the very last to leave the reception, the young fry? No siree, it was those '22 grandmas and grandpas sustaining the parents of the bride.
June also was the wedding month of Sandra, daughter of Steve and Reine Tredennick, to James Paul Jones in Grace Cathedral Chapel, San Francisco, with a reception following at the Mark Hopkins Hotel. Sandra is a graduate of Chatham Hall, Bradford Junior College, and Boston University. She is doing graduate work at San Francisco State College. Her husband is a graduate of Napa (Calif.) College and Oakland City College. Steve's class wishes the young couple a long and happy journey.
And now most sadly, it must be reported that grievous losses have severely shocked '22 recently. Everett Shaw and Joe Talbot —in case you missed the reports - were included "In Memoriam" in the July issue. It was learned later that Francis Collins and Bill Neary attended the services for Joe in Naugatuck, Conn.
An "In Memoriam" in this or a subsequent issue will report our sad losses of RedBoyd, Godfrey Canty, John Salmonsen, JohnWadsworth, and Dick Willis. While '22 lives, they will be affectionately remembered.
Still another shock, after the deadline for these notes, is the sudden death of HerlufOlsen in Hanover on September 12. Details will appear next month.
In addition, the Records office has received belated reports on two departed classmates who were with us for some time in Hanover. James Francis Folan of Norwood, Mass., died November 1, 1965, after a long illness. He was a brother of Leo M. Folan '15, who died five years ago, and he is survived by his sister Catherine to whom the Class extends its sympathy. William JosephDelaney passed away January 8, 1966 in New Haven, Conn. It is presumed that his widow survives him and '22 offers condolences.
Among many others, Gunny Gunnison,Tony Hanlon, Oscar Rice, and manager PhilKimball, who were Red Boyd's classmates on the famous golf teams of 1921 and '22, will be particularly saddened by the loss of the team's leader.
Fortune Magazine must have sensed '22 is honoring Peter and Evelyn Kiewit at a class family dinner in Hanover on October 7, the eve of the Princeton game and about two months in advance of official dedication of the Kiewit Computation Center at the College. Otherwise, why would Fortune run a long feature on Pete entitled "The Biggest Invisible Builder in the World" in its issue of last April? Highly interesting, but if the entire article were reprinted here no other classes would have space for notes this month. They might not like that; so, charitably, here is only an epitome:
"Publicity never landed us any jobs. We've done pretty well without it," says Peter Kiewit, sixty-five, who has worked hard at seeing that as few people as possible know he is one of the world's biggest builders. Yet, wherever giant machines reshape the land, the name of Peter Kiewit is legend. He has built twice as much federal highway as any other builder and has handled the largest government contract ever: for a $798 million Atomic Energy Commission gaseous-diffusion plant in Ohio. He was the sponsoring contractor of the U.S. air base in Thule, Greenland. And today he is busy with a giant northern Canada hydroelectric project, a subway in Toronto, a pier in Puerto Rico, and a canal in California.
Kiewit is held in awe for his drive, and respected for his rocklike integrity. He believes in never letting anyone else do for him what he can profitably do for himself. His employees are covered by Kiewit insurance companies. His Contractors' Investment Corp. and high liquidity give him freedom from bankers. He gets his rock and gravel from his own quarries. His equipment subsidiaries lease machinery to his building company. From headquarters in Omaha, Kiewit rules over 38 corporations, which include operations in ranching, mining, real estate, and publishing. Kiewit's interest has grown from small local (Omaha) beginnings 35 years ago to an empire worth at least $200 million today.
Kiewit has said he does not consider contracting to be work. "I love it", he added.
And, we Twoters hope Pete and Evelyn will love our class get-together in Hanover on October 7 when we'll try to show our deep gratitude for what they are doing for Dartmouth.
The Class will have its 45th Reunion on June 12, 13, 14, 1967. That fact makes us eligible for preferred seats at this season's football games - if you return your football ticket applications early enough.
