1920
The football season wound up with a 7-2 record, and although the Yale and Cornell games were heartbreakers, the Princeton game was a thriller, and it was a pretty good year with a second-place Ivy finish. We can't expect to win the League Championship every year and this was Yale's year. It was good to see new faces at the Cornell game. Dick and Helen Welch from Newburyport, Paul and Sylvia Sample from Norwich, and we caught a glimpse and a few words with Ginger Bruce as he rushed by with a Dartmouth prospect in tow. Jack Mayer has made a remarkable recovery. He is back on the job and going to football games again. He reports having seen Charles and ElsaCrathern and Sherry and Elizabeth Baketel at the Princeton game.
Ed Bowen gets around, reporting that he frequently sees Stan Conway at the races, usually looking happy about the outcome; and he also sees Frank Morey who is now occupied with Urban Development in his new elective position in Glens Falls, N. Y.
On November 11, a bronze plaque was unveiled to mark the birthplace of Dr. Ernest Hopkins '01 at the former parsonage in Dunbarton, N. H. The plaque was presented by the Dunbarton Historical Society and the Dartmouth Alumni Association of Merrimack County. Among those present as pictured in the December issue were Paul G. Richter who did much of the groundwork.
Spence Snedecor has a busy practice as orthopedic surgeon in Hackensack, N. J. He also keeps very busy with his other interests, being on the Board of Governors of the Hackensack Hospital and Chairman of the Planning and Development Committee. In the scientific field he is active in the Central Trauma Committee of the American College of Surgeons and is chairman of the Committee on Emergency Department of the hospitals with a national program in all the states, which takes him for speaking engagements far and wide. He is also on the Emergency Medical Services Committee of the National Research Council in Washington.
He is equally active in church work, being on the executive committee of the General Synod of the Reformed Church in America which is in the process of merging with one of the Presbyterian churches. Last October, Spence went out as part of a survey team to review the prognosis of these mission hospitals in Kuwait, Bahrain, and Oman in the Arabian Gulf. His other church work takes him further afield, being chairman of the Christian Medical Council of the National Council of Churches. He and Mary spent the month of August surveying 16 mission hospitals of different denominations and different nationalities in southern India, that being part of the survey they have been asked to make of all the mission hospitals in India.
Forby Forbush has made a remarkable recovery from an eye operation and is expecting to be back assessing business for the city of Pasadena the first of this new year. Dan (James) Daniels of Green Bay, Wis., is restricted in his activities but he seems to get around, visiting his daughter and family in Maryland, and expecting to spend the winter in San Diego where he has a son living.
Ed Stern of Chappaqua, N. Y., is still president of his Textile Manufacturing Company and quite active but is looking forward to the near future when his son will take over the responsibility to allow a bit of relaxation. He frequently sees Roy Rubel who is also still active in business. Dick South-wick in a brief note lets us know he is still going strong, and "T.L." Milspaugh of Walden, N. Y., sums up his situation in few words saying he is hale and' hearty with the same home, same wife, same job, and several grandchildren living nearby.
Leo and Alice Ungar will be at the Beachcomber Lodge in Pompano Beach, Fla., during February, and during the month of March will be at Azure Tides in Sarasota. In lieu of a letter from Ted Weis a note from Margaret tells that they went to see Grace Newcomer in her new and lovely home in Munroe, Mich., and that Stan is still very much missed. The Weises are now in their apartment on Pompano Beach, living the easy life.
There are those who have retired only to start over again. Hal Bernkopf, although retired, he and Liz are still doing things. Liz does free lance writing for the Globe and a magazine called "Where," and Hal is active with SCORE and SB A, and this year they both started teaching at a new school in Boston; Liz teaching fashion writing and Hal teaching merchandising.
Another number in the Class came up this month. Frank E. McGlynn died in Memorial Hospital after a brief illness. An In Memoriam notice will appear in this or subsequent issue of the ALUMNI MAGAZINE. He, and his cousin, our late classmate Francis (Scout) Lee and I were all born in Nashua, grew up, went to the same schools together, and we formed the delegation to the 1920 Class from Nashua. Frank and Scout were both the studious and quiet type. Scout, as you perhaps remember died in May 1964 of Parkinson's disease, and it pulls at the heartstrings when I realize that I am the only one left of that group.
Since the "new" Hanover Inn belongs to the College and therefore to each alumnus, the College feels the alumni should have the first chance to see and enjoy it by the way of "Hospitality Weeks" by classes which will be a miniature reunion extending from Monday evening through Friday's breakfast. Starting the first of the year, January is allotted to the most recent graduating classes and continuing, the time allotted to Classes 1916 through 1925 would be April 22-26, 1968. There will be a prearranged program which alumni may enjoy or leave alone. This is all in a tentative stage but it is something to mark on your calendar and to be thinking about until we have further information.
I haven't heard from Doc and Harriet Milter but they are scheduled to have returned from a two-month trip around the world. This is the trip that had to be postponed last year because of necessary surgery. Their itinerary is interesting and impressive, taking them to Athens, Bombay, New Delhi, Bangkok, Hong Kong, Taipei, Tokyo, Hiroshima, Honolulu, and San Francisco with many side trips along the way. They were to stop over for a week's visit with their daughter in Laos.
Pat and Nancy Holbrook had a whirlwind trip in September to Europe visiting Paris, Vienna, Athens, Rome, Florence, Venice, and Geneva, including a three-day cruise through the Greek Islands, and many interesting places off the tourist trails.
A note from Pike Emory skims over his interesting work researching the prehistory of the Polynesians. The program took him in many directions and to many places including Tokyo for the 11th Pacific Science Congress in 1966. He had a nice break from his life on the islands when he accepted an invitation to be visiting professor at Oregon University for the spring term of 1967. There was, in his seminar on the cultural history of Oceania, a graduate student from Hanover. Talking with him of Dartmouth made Pike even more nostalgic, so much so that he is hoping to get to Hanover even before the big 50th in 1970 which he considers a MUST.
