1922
Final results of the 1966 Alumni Fund at $1,937,740 - against $4,758 in the first Fund 60 years ago - credit '22 with $31,185 and 115.7 per cent of its dollar objective. On this index '22 ranks thirteenth among 59 classes. And with a little bit of luck, next year the Class will appear in the first ten. Class spirit will also boost our participation index of 96.9 per cent. Thanks again from all the tribe to Carter Hoyt, our 29 assistant agents, and all Twoters who contributed. Thanks also for 30 In Memoriam donations including 22 from wives of departed classmates. It all shows '22 is a small class, But....
Twoters at the Massachusetts game included Ray and Doris Atwood, Warren and Mary Daniel, Ike and Harriott Miller, Stan and Catherine Miner, Len and Margaret Morrissey, Russ Putney, Oscar and Bea Rice, Jack and Sylvia Taylor. Stan and Russ also attended the Hanover meetings of the Association of Alumni Clubs, Stan as president of the Dartmouth Club of the Hanover Area and Russ as secretary of the Cheshire County (N. H.) Dartmouth Alumni Association.
Dr. Richard G. Wood retired last summer from his position as Director of the Vermont Historical Society. He and Ruth have moved from Montpelier and are now living in Randolph, N. H. Dick's retirement marks another phase in his career as teacher and historian. After receiving his master's from Harvard in 1924, he taught in the high schools of Laconia, N. H., and New Haven, Conn. He then became an instructor at M.I.T. and subsequently for several years an assistant professor of history at the University of Maine. He got his Ph.D. at Harvard in 1934. A few years later he was State Director of the Historical Records Survey of New Hampshire and in 1943 he went to the National Archives, Washington, D. C., where in 1951 he became Chief of the Army Section, War Records Branch. In 1956 he came to Montpelier as Director of the Vermont Historical Society. Dick will have no rocking chair retirement. In August he was elected trustee and vice president of the Justin Smith Morrill Foundation and trustee of the Vermont Historical Society. He is also trustee of the Vermont Academy of Arts and Sciences and of the American Precision Museum, Windsor, Vt. His book, "Stephen Harriman Long (1774-1864) - Army Engineer, Explorer, Inventor" has just been published. As cherished members of the Class, '22 extends its best wishes for many years of happiness to Dick and Ruth.
But '22 by no means relinquishes its association with the Vermont Historical Society. Stan Miner is also a trustee and Charlie Morrissey '56 became its director in August when he, his wife Brenda and children Michael and Susan moved from Bethesda, Md., to Montpelier.
Dr. Raymond J. Millemann of Murphy, Ore., for too many years has escaped '22's news net. But thanks to Bill Bullen's clipping from the Boston Herald we finally captured some Millemann news when Ray's son Michael Alan '66 was reported as the groom and Elizabeth Crane Bean as the bride at their wedding, September 17, in the United Church, Jaffrey, N. H. Elizabeth, daughter of Mr. D. D. Bean Jr. of Jaffrey - and from her picture a very pretty bride - went to Colby Junior College. The good wishes of '22 go with the young couple who will live in Eugene, Ore., where Michael will study at the Law School of the University of Oregon. Ray's eldest son, Raymond, also graduated from Dartmouth '49. Now, let's hope we don't have to wait for the marriages of Ray's other children, Mark, Diane, Linda, Steven, and Susan, before '22 learns more about life in Oregon.
All classmates will be sorry to learn that Bob Booth has been seriously ill for some time at the Deaconess Hospital, Boston. Now in late September it is a relief to report the prognosis as being good.
After 43 years as an educator William F. Gallagher retired last year and he and wife Dorothy have moved from Wellesley, Mass., to their home at Maple Corner, Calais, Vt. After graduation Bill began his teaching career at West Bridgewater, Mass., taught three years at Norwich (Conn.) Free Academy and in 1926 began an association that continued for 39 years at the Rivers Country Day School, Brookline, Mass., where among several other duties he served as head of the English department. He got his master's in Education from Harvard in 1932. Many happy years ahead to Bill and Dorothy and let's hope they come to Hanover often.
Along with many other alumni and community activities, Bill Bullen is serving as treasurer of the Douglas A. Thom Clinic of Boston, a well-known psychiatric clinic for emotionally disturbed children.
Congratulations to Laurence C. Campbell upon his election as president of the Barre (Vt.) Rotary Club. World travelers, Larry and wife Elizabeth seem to commute from Barre to Central and South America, Europe, Africa, and Asia. Last year they took a four-month trip to Japan, India, Russia, the Scandinavian countries, and Germany where they got beyond the Iron Curtain but, fortunately, not for long.
The virus Peregrinari can be insidiously deleterious, however, as indicated by Lenand Margaret Morrissey who last May went to Ireland and left a bit of their hearts there. And now heaven help '22's class notes. If they previously have seemed hyperbolic, as some have been kind enough to say, they've been but a mere wisp of wind before a hurricane, because at long last the scribe has kissed the Blarney Stone ardently well, for a gossoon of 65, anyway.
Mary Lou, wife of Dick Willis, writes: "Dick had a warm feeling for his classmates. We did not see many of you often, but Dick frequently spoke of all of you. He told me '22 had a memorial book in the library for each departed classmate. Now that there is one there in memory of Dick, I am touched. Please tell his classmates I thank them."
And still again, the Class is deeply saddened by losses of three additional classmates. Albert Cole, George Cook, and Herluf Olsen have left us as In Memoriam so reports in this or a subsequent issue.
Olie's loss was the first among those of us living in the Hanover area. A beloved, friendly, highly respected man, he will be keenly missed by the entire Class. '22 deeply shares his loss with Louise, his wife, Herluf Jr. '54, and his daughter, Charlotte, wife of John M. Mclntyre '51. Classmates at the service in Our Saviour Lutheran Chapel, Hanover, included Tommy Byrne, Bill Bullen, Haskell and Harriet Cohn, Bruce and Helen Cunningham, Warren Daniel, Carroll Dwight, Earl Fredericks, Carter and Allie Hoyt, Stan Jackson, Ike and Harriott Miller, Stan Miner, Len and Margaret Morrissey, Oscar Rice, Stewart and Elizabeth Stearns.
As the Class approaches its 45th Reunion, June 12, 13, 14, 1967, it may be noteworthy that '22, as of late September 1966, has 338 living members. The total class consisted of 485 with 257 graduates. Of the 338 now living, 186 are graduates, but many of our most distinguished and loyal members did not finish and '22 proudly claims all of them in the class family.
