1922

As Twoters sit on their patios this summer, the talk will naturally spin around two important subjects: first, '22's weekend of October 7 and 8, 1966, and secondly, our 45th Reunion, June 12, 13, and 14, 1967.

Highlights of the autumnal gathering will be '22's testimonial dinner for Peter andEvelyn Kiewit, Friday evening, October 7, and the Princeton game the following afternoon. For this weekend, Gen. Ike Miller has already made reservations for a large number of classmates and their wives. Incidentally, Ike's telephone number is 603- 646-2454. Also, since '22 will be having a reunion in 1967, the class will have preferred seats at all football games this fall. To get such seats, however, will require prompt return of the ticket applications you will receive in late summer. Once again, before the Princeton game lunch will be available at one or more fodder spots in Hanover and '22 will have banners, and possibly bugles, to proclaim its presence. In all, the weekend will be too pleasant and too memorable to miss.

Our 45th Reunion will be Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, June 12, 13, 14, 1967. A trio of Dartmouth's most distinguished classes: 21, 22, 23; will reune together. You will hear more - much more - about Reunion plans as they progress. Ike Miller is our Reunion Chairman and he has been working for months to make our 45th the best ever. Two early attendance notifications have come from Chick Hopkins at Jalisco, Mexico, and Don Tobin at Dallas. Gosh, won't it be good to see them again?

There were 35 Twoters at the April 15-16 Little Reunion when we sat down for dinner together Saturday evening in the Drake Room. While enjoying his dinner, JackDodd was subpoenaed to report on his whereabouts of the past few days. He had been busily engaged in the meetings of the Trustees of the College and his off-the-cuff remarks on the opportunities and the challenges facing Dartmouth were appreciatively received.

With Hanover's lovely spring weather and the fun of just being together again, it was indeed a most enjoyable weekend. Friday evening most attended the dinner of the Dartmouth Club of the Hanover Area, enjoyed an interesting talk by Dean Tribus of Thayer School, and cheered lustily when Stan Miner was elected president of the Hanover Club. At the men's meeting Saturday morning, Carter Hoyt reported on the Alumni Fund and Ike Miller described the plans to date on our 45th Reunion next year. Ike also told about the large attendance already signed up for our dinner on October 7, 1966, to honor Pete and Evelyn Kiewit. Meanwhile, thanks to the graciousness of Louise Olsen, the girls were enjoying a coffee gabfest at her home. Saturday afternoon some went to a freshman baseball game and some went to the crew races while others antiqued around the countryside or plain sat and talked. After dinner that evening many escorted Ike and Harriott to the Military Ball and looked in on one of .Hanover's most glamorous social events.

The assembled clan included Bob and Lois Booth, Harry and Peg Bruckner, Tommy Byrne, Bob and Grace Clark, Bruce and Helen Cunningham, Warren and Mary Daniell, Jack and Fran Dodd, Carroll and Nan Dwight, Frank and Betty Horan, Carter and Allie (after all these years, Allie) Hoyt, Stan and Doris Jackson, Fran and Lucy Leland, Ike and Harriott Miller, Stan and Catherine Miner, Len and Margaret Morrissey, Olie and Louise Olsen, Walt and Doris Sands, Dick and Ruth Wood.

Telegraph greetings came from HermCarlisle and Johnny Shea in Florida. We definitely missed Bill and Odie Lee Bullen,Bill and Betty Mann, Dick and Mary LouiseWillis and others who for reasons beyond their control were not with us. Let's sincerely hope they will all be there when next we meet.

HANOVER HEARSAY:

Frank Hutchins, all classmates will be pleased to know, is making very good recovery after hospitalization at Mary Hitchcock. Having lived 15 years in Hanover, Frank and Dorothy can now begin to be considered as reasonably permanent citizens.

As these notes are keyed, Olie and LouiseOlsen are on their way to Omaha, San Francisco, L. A., and San Diego. And with return of the robins, Oscar and Bea Rice are expected back from California.

Donald A. Powell and his wife spent the winter at the Belleview Biltmore, Clearwa- ter, Fla. After Dartmouth, Don got his LL.B. from Boston University Law School and was associated for several years with the New York law firm of Clark, Carr & Ellis. He later became treasurer of the Union Pacific Railroad from which he retired some time ago.

Paul A. Hyde passed away on January 24, 1965, according to a report recently received by the College. He was at Dartmouth 1918- 1920 and he will undoubtedly be remem- bered by some contemporaries. He later attended the University of Illinois. For the past 30 years he lived in Canton, Ohio, where he owned the Paul A. Hyde Co. Class records indicate his wife and son survive him and to them the Class extends its sympathy.

In acknowledgment of the Memorial Book for John E. Blunt 3rd, his wife Barbara writes: "Our family and I deeply appreciate your kind expression of sympathy and we are most grateful to the Class of 1922 for the volume in memory of Jack to be placed in the Dartmouth College Library."

And, finally, apropos our dinner of October 7: Peter Kiewit has what Fortune Magazine (April 1966) calls "a penchant for anonymity" and Forbes Magazine as "a passion for privacy," but danged if the press will let Pete mind his own business. Forbes, for instance, some time ago ran two pictures of Pete and an article entitled, "The Romans Would Have Been Proud of Him." It said in part: "Among the other contractors working on the Interstate Highway Program, Peter Kiewit is known as the 'King of the Road.' His company, Peter Kiewit, Sons, Inc., of Omaha, Neb., has not only received more interstate highway contracts than any other road builder; during the years 1959 through 1964, it did nearly twice as much work on the program as its two closest competitors combined, a total of more than $374 million.

". . . He may be the biggest general contractor in the world. His engineers and construction crews are everywhere: on the big ($24 million) Southern California rivercanal project, on the John Day Dam in Northern Oregon, on the Conowingo Dam in Maryland. He built the $l6 million Music Center in Los Angeles and the 14-story Kiewit Plaza Building in downtown Omaha.

"He has a great reputation for reliability. Burch McMorran, New York State Director of Public Works, says, 'Kiewit does a firstclass job, even at a loss. The company lives up to what it has promised.' In Afghanistan, Kiewit won a safety award on a road-building job for 2 million man-hours of work without a serious accident.

"Kiewit was born in Omaha on Sept. 12, 1900. He attended Dartmouth College, leaving to join the family construction firm. He learned the business from the ground up. His autobiography in Who's Who in America lists his occupations in this manner: 'apprentice mason, foreman and superintendent building construction.'

"In addition to his worldwide construction business and his newspaper (Omaha's World Herald which he purchased in 1962 for $40.4 million), Kiewit is a director of the Northern National Gas Co., the Northwestern Bell Telephone Co., and the Omaha National Bank. He maintains a penthouse atop the Kiewit Plaza Building, a ranch in Nebraska, another ranch in Wyoming and a winter home in Palm Springs, Calif."

Yet despite the Romans, and with even greater pride in Pete, '22 wants its ladies clearly informed that togas and togases will not be mandatory attire when we joyfully gather to salute Pete and Evelyn on October 7.
