1920
Pike Emory has been rather elusive. Tommy Thomson managed to see him on one of his trips to Hawaii but just missed him on his last trip. Sam Center, however, caught a glimpse of Pike on the T.V. and now a letter with a clipping about himself and what keeps him so busy and away: "For Pike the year 1966 opened in Tahiti, where each year Emory goes to supervise the Bishop Museum's archaeological program for French Polynesia. A base was being developed on the island of Raiatea, Leeward Society Islands, for operations on the island last December. During the 'spring' the island of Maui in the Hawaiian groups was the scene of another activity, where a team from the Bishop Museum was surveying the remnants of an abandoned Hawaiian settlement going back some centuries into the past. The month of August took Emory and wife Marguerite, with a large group from the Bishop Museum, to the 11th Pacific Science Congress in Japan. Here he toured inner Japan with his chief assistant Dr. Yosihiko Sinoto, Japanese-born and raised, but added to the Bishop Museum staff in 1953. From then on Sinoto has accompanied Pike on all his expeditions in the islands, the Hawaiian Islands, the Society Islands, Tonga, Fiji, Samoa, and is now about to take up the independent excavations under his own supervision in the Marquesas Islands. Next spring term for. the University of Oregon, Pike has been engaged as visiting professor to give seminar courses on the culture and archaeology of Oceania. He longs, however, to stroll on Dartmouth's campus again, and if not before will be there certainly for the 50th." So, you lucky people who get to Hawaii, do make an effort to see Pike in his interesting profession, and we'll look forward to seeing him in Hanover in the Big Year of 1970.
It is news when wedding bells ring at this stage of the game - and it is real news we have now as we learn that our illustrious Class president went to the altar: "The marriage of Mrs. Frances Armstrong MacLean and Mr. Charles Fraser McGoughran took place on February 10 in Toronto."
Congratulations and Best Wishes from the Class to the newlyweds! They will live for the remainder of the winter at the newly purchased home in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., migrating to Norfolk, Conn., come spring.
A bit of humor in this clipping from a Wisconsin newspaper: "Mrs. Donald MacKay returned from Albuquerque where she had visited her son, Dr. Edward E. Mortimer '44 and family. Before she left home Mrs. MacKay (Ruth to us) was reluctant to leave her pet, a small beagle named Cantie, alone while she was away. This was taken care of, however, when Cantie accompanied Mr. MacKay (Don) to his law office each day. He behaved well and was disappointed when, although he was called a Legal Beagle, the vacation was over and he had to stay at home."
One of Charlie Crathern's grandsons, Glenn Crathern, has earned a Boy Scout Life Award in Contoocook. Terry Crathern, Charlie's son, is Scout Committeeman and he and the boys are active in all local scout affairs.
The Alumni Records office received word from the V.A. Hospital in Los Angeles, that Ruben K. Charles died on June 10, 1966. However, since his name has been inactive and since he has not been heard from for many years we do not have information enough to write an In Memoriam notice for him.
Hats off to Jack Mayer. He is another, who in instead of retiring has taken on another job of responsibility. He retired as vice-president and director of dealer relations for Distributors Group, Inc. of Manhattan, a mutual fund manager. He was elected president of the Richmond County Savings Bank recently and has the advantage of being within a quarter of an hour's commuting distance of his own home which must be quite a treat after having commuted to New York City for so long. Congratulations and best wishes of the Class go with Jack in his new undertaking and with this appointment the list of Bank Presidents from the Class increased.
Paul Sample was represented among the work of 78 members of the American Watercolor Society being shown in the Metropolitan Museum of Art's "200 Years of Watercolor Painting in America" which was on display in New York City during the month of January.
Sherm Adams has entered just about everybody's living room recently by way of the T.V.; first, about the opening of his gigantic ski project on Loon Mountain and then the very next day a news flash told of an emergency operation at Mary Hitchcock Hospital; then we hear somebody made a booboo and lowered the flag on the State House in Concord for him rather prematurely, but a recent picture of him welcoming two young skiers shows him back on the job, and it would seem, fully recovered.
Another patient at the Mary Hitchcock at about the same time was Elmer Stewart who was injured in a collision while riding as a passenger in his brother's car in Lebanon the first week of January. His condition was listed as "critical" but improvement was reported and it is hoped by now he is well on the road to recovery and that he has long since been discharged from the hospital.
Art Smith didn't get to any football games last fall. He is taking it easy and catering to a bad back condition. Charlie Stevens is recovering well at his home on Siesta Key from a recent coronary.
When we left New Hampshire Tom andDot Dudley were undecided whether they would take a trip to Rome to visit their son, or come to Florida to relax in the sunshine. Nate and Mildred Whiteside will be leaving their snow-clad Chicago before long to wend their way to Sanibel Island where they plan to spend part of their time in Florida. That is the island that runs east and west and collects the unusual shells washed up from the tropical isles. Carl andDorothy Lenz are planning to be in Florida in February and March. Ralph Sunergren and his December bride are planning to swing around this way on their way from Nassau. Howard and Dot Hitchcock are at Madeira Beach in the same attractive apartment they had last year. Steiny and ElinorSteinholtz have chosen to go to Colorado this winter in preference to Florida. DickWatts is probably already in Winter Haven with his daughter and family. He and LaddieMyers are planning to go to Ft. Lauderdale to the POW-WOW March 14 and 15 at the Sheraton Hotel. By that time Leoand Alice Ungar will be at the Diplomat in Hollywood, Fla. They are planning also to go to the POW-WOW and I feel sure Ed and Vera Curtis will be there as it is only a stone's throw from their lovely home on the Gold Coast section. There probably are many more '20s in Florida. We are, however, looking forward to seeing many at the Dartmouth affairs coming up soon on both the east and west Florida coasts and are looking forward also to hearing from all good '20s when in this area. We have a new phone (Sarasota 388-1619) to make it easier for "you all."
