1925
We will start out and end with good news! An up-to-date report on Eddie Pease. After 16 days in the Massachusetts General Hospital and 22 days in their convalescent home in Lincoln, Mass., Eddie on October 1 was allowed to go home with the admonition to "take it easy," for another three weeks. It did not seem at all right not to have him here today for the fine victory over Holy Cross. We all wish him a fast and hearty recovery from his coronary and we know he would appreciate hearing from some classmates.
And this too is good news. We now formally announce that Julie Hewitt, Eddie Hewitt's widow, is now the official "Chairwoman of the Women of 1925." She not only represents all of the 1925 widows but also all of you 1925 wives. We are sure that in most cases the women of 1925 are much more prone and willing to give news of the family than are the men of 1925. We believe that Julie will become the important link in supplying future news to Eddie and Herb, and at various times in her own special communications. Soon, via the Round-Up, you will receive her own letter to the Women of 1925. Meanwhile she now awaits any and all news from all of you: Mrs. Edward C. Hewitt (Julie), 50 Georgian Court, Elizabeth, N. J. 07208.
Herb and Emily Talbot have just returned from a three-week trip to London and Dublin. In London Herb was installed as president of the International Medical Society of Paraplegia (over 400 members from nearly forty nations) and gave an oration at the Royal College of Surgeons. In Dublin Herb was present for the week-long meetings of the Society of Rehabilitation of the Disabled, and presided and read special papers at the Committee of Special Injury which committee he chairmanned. They found that Frank and Corinne Kennedy were at their hotel.
Charlie Moore is general chairman of the Cape Cod Hospital $6-Million Expansion campaign; but is also chairman for the 1925 reunion next year, and is already at work on the campaign and promises a report to the class in the near future.
Bonnie Gwynfa Whelden on August 16 became the fourth married daughter of Gertie and Ford Whelden following her marriage to E. Earl Franks of Fort Morgan, Colo. They were married at a garden ceremony between the two pines where sister Roxane married Edward K. Isbey '51 in 1952 and sister Priscilla married Alan A. Rozycki '61 in 1964. Following the ceremony a reception was held in Alumni Hall at Hopkins Center. The Francis Browns,Harold Elders, Lawrence Leavitts, Kay McKennan, Tadford Tanzers, and Herbert Talbots represented 1925 at the wedding and reception.
Richard C. Colton has just been appointed vice president of Rogers, Slade and Hill, Inc. management consultants of New York City. He continues as a director of Lykes Bros. Steamship Co. and of Lykes-Youngstown Corporation.
Jean Edson writes that she has sent all of Andy's skiing loving cups and medals to the committee for the National Ski Hall of Fame where they will be part of the Dartmouth exhibit, along with an old ski photograph and a copy of Andy's poem "The Ski lumper" which appeared in the 1925 Dartmouth Anthology of Verse. Jean herself (bless her heart for her deep devotion to Andy) has been included in the recently published "Two Thousand Women of Achievement — 1969." Her address is Mrs. Andrew W. Edson, 825 New Hampshire Ave., N.W., Washington, D.C. 20037.
Larry and Dot Leavitt claim a "rather quiet summer," chiefly at their lovely summer place on Lake Sunapee. But recently three grandchildren have demanded a bit of attention with trips to school and college and Larry is on jury duty at Woodstock, Vt., from several weeks ago through midFebruary.
Bob McKennan with his summer in Alaska, just following his retirement in June; and Bill Jenkins with his cruise from Ireland to the Canary Islands in the "Dyna," a top racing boat with the commodore of the Cruising Club of America as skipper - both have real stories to tell, but these will be for Herb's Round-Up or later notes here.
Word has just been received from DrisHuberth of the marriage of Jonathan Charles Huberth at Stamford, Conn., to Elizabeth Frances Egbert. We saw Dris a day or so ago on Main Street and she said her summer had been fine. She looked so well and lovely.
Closing words: Five days from now the Penn weekend. Many '25-ers will be here. Dinners Friday and Saturday and luncheon Saturday have been arranged. Two predictions: The Green over the Quakers by two touchdowns. And Dartmouth will end the season with one of the best defensive records in the country. A fine record as of today. esults to date: Dartmouth 42, Boston College 6 (unofficial game); Dartmouth 31, New Hampshire 0; Dartmouth 38, Holy Cross 6; J.V. 14, Bowdoin 0; J.V. 30, Army 7; Freshmen 13, Vermont 0. The freshman squad appears to be one of the finest in Green history, and without any question includes the largest contingent of huge freshmen ever to suit up on the Hanover Plain. Eighteen weigh over 200 with nine of these over 220. There are 21 men on the squad who range from 6-2 to 6-6 in height. And these are all boys 17 and 18 years old. A goodly number sport side-burns, but none have beards or long hair! Regards to all.
