1922

Freshmen, their parents, and faculty advisors enjoyed a gorgeous, sun-swept September afternoon for their congenial reception on the green lawn in front of Baker Library. The blue sky was so brilliant it inspired one freshman to say, "This New Hampshire sky is surely beautiful but, of course, it is much smaller than my Colorado sky." Was it just a touch of homesickness or should the lad be sent back, express collect, to Dick Livermore and WillNicholson?

Stan Miner is getting to know every Vermont hill and dale as well as he knew the skyscrapers of Manhattan. He is now chairman of the Vermont Board of Historic Sites, an appointment recently received from Governor Deane C. Davis. And, following an August election, Stan is also first vice president of the Vermont Historical Society.

Dr. Ed and Dorothy Cramton, Carrolland Nan Dwight, and Ike Miller represented '22 among 294 adults and 143 children who attended Alumni College in August. Two of the Dwight grandchildren, Eric and Martha Bens, were among the young fry. Adults and youngsters alike claim some people are missing a real treat by failing to get refreshed, mentally and physically, at this annual summer stimulation.

Don Donavanik, according to the latest report from Bangkok, is "cheerful, well informed on everything and very much in- volved everywhere." This welcome news comes from a classmate's professional colleague who visited Don in July. Can't help wondering if gracious Don sometimes thinks he should also be in the hotel business. And, who knows, maybe he is.

After seeing Stewie Stearns in Tubac, Ariz., Dick Litchfield says our North Country expatriate is in fine fettle and enjoys his new environment. Dick also saw Shaw Livermore who recently returned to Tucson from Thailand. After following spring football practice at the University of Arizona, scout Dick reports, "I'll stick with Bob Blackman and the Big Green's exciting brand of football."

Good luck to all Third Century Fund workers, including our Bill Bullen, Boston Area Chairman; Wally Mountcastle, Fort Lauderdale Chairman; and class son Wesley L.Nutten III '51, Los Angeles Chairman.

The Dartmouth-Boston College scrimmage (42-6) on September's third Saturday was preceded by a pleasant picnic sponsored by the Hanover Dartmouth Club in the Bema. Warren and Mary Daniell, Ike Miller, Stan and Catherine Miner, Len and Margaret Morrissey, Fred and Maude Vogel enjoyed getting together. At the scrimmage were Dick and Mary Litchfield and, reportedly, Paul and Elizabeth Peters, parents of Seaver Peters '54, Dartmouth's competent and popular Director of Athletics.

Twoters in orbit. Andy Marshall continues to perambulate. Last winter he appeared in a picture of Third Century Fund leaders in New York. In June he and Charlotte visited Hanover. (But contrary to reports they received from mutual Hanover friends, it must be categorically denied that the Morrisseys got out of town for the summer when they learned the Marshalls were coming in.) On their most recent peregrination, in August the Marshalls flew to Copen- hagen, thence sojourns in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, and England. They were due home in late October.

Harry and Peg Bruckner took the sea route on the "Bergensfjord" in September when they visited Ireland, England, France, Spain, Portugal, and Mediterranean Africa. Presumably, Harry and Peg will still be cruising at the time of the Penn game in Hanover. '22 will miss them at its gathering.

Frank and Betty Horan together with Fitz Gordon '23 and his spouse Georgia were also summer travelers on a Bergen North Cape cruise followed by a month in Norway and Sweden before going back for a stay in friendly Dublin. Seems as if they followed the invasion routes of the Vikings to Ireland.

Len and Margaret Morrissey likewise went to Ireland last spring. But mind you, not another word on that now. Just pray you don't , get entombed with the scribe in a lift stuck between levels unless you always carry ear plugs in your waistcoat.

In Memoriam reports the death of Dr.Phil Rothman who always cherished the memory of his Dartmouth days. A letter from his brother Edward says in part: "Two or three years ago Phil and I thoroughly enjoyed a visit to Hanover. We visited the dorm he lived in and he recalled many incidents, many classmates and all the memories were pleasant indeed. Naturally nearly half a century brought many changes to the campus and the ways of student life. Phil had a good time making comparisons and concluding that the way college life was in his day was truly ideal."

Eleanor, the wife of Prof. Robert F. Almy, wrote: "I want to thank the Class of '22 for the thoughtful tribute to Bob in providing a book in his memory for the Dartmouth Library. He was a very special sort of person and a beloved teacher who will be greatly missed. I have such wonderful memories of our life together. We visited Hanover twice in recent years and Bob did so enjoy being back at Dartmouth."

Class sons provide cheer: Alan Booth '56 is associate professor of history at Ohio University and is in charge of its African Studies program. Last summer on a project for the U. S. Department of Education, Alan and two other professors took a group of young Americans to Kenya to do a study of an African village and its evolution to the,, present. Alan and his wife Beatrice have two boys and a girl.

Tom Booth '54 is in Tulsa with the Beas ley Corp., a world-circling construction company. Previously a prospect for confirmed bachelorhood, he married a charming girl a year ago.

Wilbur W. Bullen Jr.'54 has been elected vice president and director of underwriting of the Olde Worcester Insurance Agency Inc. of Boston. Bill Jr. has had extensive experience in the insurance business together with four years' service as a special agent with the Office of Special Investigation, U.S. Air Force. Bill, his wife Jean, and their three boys live in Newton Highlands where he is active in the Congregational Church and community affairs.

John S. Johnson Jr. '50 was recently elected vice president of the large and growing Eagle Co. headquartered at Danbury, Conn. Young John is in charge of corporate planning, the comptroller's functions and electronic data processing. He, his wife Pat and two boys live in Bronxville.

Tom Waterman '59 is serving as a director of the Dartmouth Club of Southern California. After graduation from Harvard Law School '65, Tom, like many other Green Mountain lads before him, went West and settled in Los Angeles where he is associated with a prominent law firm. Tom and his wife Julia have a boy and a girl.

Somehow we Twoters don't often see reports like the above in the newspapers. Maybe it's because these class sons are over 30.

See you "As the Backs Go Tearing by."
