1922
Relax, Twoters, unwind - Bob Blackman and his fine assistants stay at Dartmouth. And '22 - the youngest of Dartmouth's really old classes - is thereby delighted. The class tips its hat to Mrs. Kay Blackman who spoke for all of us when she said "I really love it at Dartmouth." As Capt. Tom Clarke '66 summed it up, "It's been a great season for Dartmouth - undefeated Ivy League champions, the Lambert Trophy - and now, by gosh, we've kept our coach."
After such a season, one silence-breaking ploy around the circuit is, "Well, Sir, what games did you see?" This, of course, can lead to a conflict of interest as to who saw more. In such jousting for loyal attendance '22 would present as its candidates lack and Sylvia Taylor, Roy and Dorothy Ball, Clif and Madelaine Watson, Ike and Hat Miller, Tony and Eleanor Hanlon, Bob and Lois Booth. Even now they can recite names and numbers of all players - from memory!
Ted and Babs Davidson get back to Hanover from Evanston each year. Last autumn following the Penn game, Ted remarked, "After 44 years it is still a real thrill for me to sit there in the stand and to see Balch Hill again in its array of glorious fall foliage." No Twoter ever forgets that view.
Stanley P. Miner won a spectacular victory in Vermont's November election when he was elected representative from a newly apportioned district to the State's reapportioned legislature. Stan, designated as a moderate Republican, represented Stockbridge in the 1965 legislature and in an October primary he ran against a highly regarded conservative Republican who at that time represented Rochester. This primary was to choose a Republican candidate (and in this area that means winning the election) for the newly apportioned district of Stock-bridge, Pittsfield, Hancock, Granville, and Rochester. Stan lost this October primary by 17 votes. He was then making plans to go to Europe for six months when a group of his supporters decided to try for a write-in vote in the November election. The result was a Miner victory: 300-282. This outcome was amazing because Stan's strong opponent was such a well-known, long-term office holder from the largest town in the district. Congratulations, Stan, and our thanks to IkeMiller for getting the good news of this message through to Garcia and to FrankHoran for his clipping from the New lersey press.
All classmates share sadly in our loss of Clif Akey. His passing is reported more completely in In Memoriam of this or a future issue.
Any Twoter in the throes of moving domestic belongings from one manor to another can get expert advice from classmate J. Lawrence Robinson. Jere is vice president and general manager of Jabez Burns, a century-old company with worldwide operations in designing, engineering, and constructing processing equipment for the coffee industry. The company manufactures and installs huge coffee roasters, automatic controls, coolers — in fact everything between the coffee bean and the cup except the cream and sugar. Some time ago, Jabez Burns became part of the Food and Chemical Equipment Division of the Blaw Knox Company and moved from New York City to Buffalo. To Jere the move involved not only his own household wares but also the entire plant including employees, equipment, and inventories. Over fifty 40,000 lb. truckloads were required to move the equipment from New York to Buffalo. In its new location the company occupies a building of 400,000 square feet including a research laboratory and an engineering department with 75 engineers. Hope no cups or saucers were broken on your personal move and good luck, Jere, at your new location. WaltSands who sent in this report of your move and who may have thoughts of moving his canary cage nearer the window will probably be the first classmate seeking your advice.
The Laconia Citizen has reminded its readers that our Ralph W. Totman is chairman of the Judiciary Committee of the New Hampshire House of Representatives. Totman. says the Citizen, is a graduate of Dartmouth (but no mention of Tottie's famous class!) and of Northeastern University Law School and is a retired U. S. Air Force Colonel. Maybe it's time for us to become itchy and anti. possibly a march against papers that don't mention the Class. Can't stay young and find relevancy without being anti something.
Harry Griswold's wife, Mary, has written: "The book to be added to the Dartmouth College Library by the Class of 1922 for Harry is very much appreciated by me and my family. We compliment the Class upon establishing such a fitting memorial for its classmates."
Congratulations to George E. Shattuck upon his appointment as executive secretary of Dr. James B. Conant's new project: A Study of Public Secondary Schools in the United States. In his new duties George will move from Groton Long Point, Conn., to Washington, D. C., for the next year or two. After 25 years as principal of Norwich (Conn.) Free Academy, George retired last spring. In expressions of esteem, the school dedicated a handsome new George E. Shattuck building and established a Shattuck scholarship fund. During the Shattuck administration the school grew from 2,200 students to 3,200.
Our classmate himself is highlighted by these excerpts from a brochure purloined by a '22 operator and published to commemorate Norwich Academy's centennial:
... Mr. Shattuck has brought to his position a very real concern for the welfare of the individual student and an immense personal charm and capacity for warm friendship, spiced with a keen sense of humor. In his difficult position as arbiter and final judge of seemingly impossible situations which can crop up in the best regulated of schools, Principal Shattuck has an amazingly incisive ability to see both sides of the problem and suggest the fair solution.
Mr. Shattuck is versatility personified. His hobbies are many, including boating, railroading, drawing (with a characteristic bent toward caricature), reading, and working with tools. His knowledge of seamanship, piloting, and all things pertaining to the handling of small boats is widely known and respected. In this connection, he is actively affiliated with the Norwich Power Squadron and has an Advanced Pilot rating. He is past commodore of the Groton Long Point Yacht Club and for a number of years has been Harbor Master of Groton Long Point.
Before going to Norwich, George taught at Brattleboro, Vt.; Middletown, Conn.; and Newton, Mass. He was also principal of Connecticut high schools in Darien, East Hartford, and Greenwich. He received his M.A. in 1933 from New York University. He is a native of Providence, R. 1., and his undergraduate years were divided between Dartmouth and Brown, but all Twoters and many other contemporaries know him well and favorably. And all Dartmouth friends wish you the very best, George.

1966 is the 48th year since '22 first came to Dartmouth as a class in 1918. Looks as though it might be high time for us to get together again. Our 1966 Little Reunion on April 15-16 at the Hanover Inn provides that opportunity. These dates are the Friday and Saturday after Easter Sunday. As for reservations, early birds always get the best. Yes, it's true that alterations on some sections of the Inn may begin in March. The old part of the Inn at the corner of Main and Wheelock - the present entrance, front lobby, coffee shop, etc. - is going to be torn down and replaced by new construction. During the interim, however, the hostelry will continue to sleep guests in comfort and to feed gourmets with delight. Consequently, some of us, including all connoisseurs of second-hand brick, will undoubtedly want to stay at the Inn as always. Others, possibly allergic to ancient mortar, might prefer to stay at the Hanover Inn Motor Lodge. You may take your choice and presumedly you can get a bed board for your aching back at either place, so don't stay away. Reservations for either the Inn or the Motor Lodge should be directed to Miss Florence M. Carey at the Hanover Inn. It's not a bit too early to write now.
