1922
'22's Fiftieth Reunion will be June 9, 10, 11, 1972. The place, of course, will be Hanover. The Class sincerely hopes every classmate, all 285 of us, will be there for this once-in-a-blue-moon convocation of the clan.
The Class will come back not in complacent triumph, but in genuine gratitude for air the benefits it has received from Dartmouth College. With courage, hope, and competence '22 has faced every curve life could throw: wars, depressions, cataclysms, countercultures, illnesses, and tragedies. Yet, despite all odds, with a record of accomplishment that speaks for itself, the Class will come back head high and chin up. So, with steadfast love for the Old Mother we will return to her 50 years after she sent us out into the wide, wide world.
Best of all, we will want to see each other again and to renew the friendships time could never tarnish. Therefore, it's "22 Up" once more for the most momentous gathering the Class will ever have.
Appropriately at this Commencement Reunion weekend, '22 will be one of the two younger classes in Hanover. The graduating class, "Grand old seniors" of '72, will be the youngest. Then, with no irrelevance the 50-Year Class will ever admit, comes '22 followed by '17, '12, and 'O7. All will join in wishing the best to '72 as they, too, go out into that wide, wide world.
You'll hear more about all Reunion details soon. Ike Miller has long since been working on the logistics and you all know that when General Ike plans a campaign it has to be completely satisfactory to everyone. Be assured our 50th will be that and more.
Meanwhile, classmates, if you want the best seats you ever had at football games, send in your ticket applications. The 50- Year Class gets seats as close as possible to the 50-yard line.
"Do Alumni Care Enough?" asked a thought provoking article written last spring by an educational consultant. '22 gave its answer in the 1971 Alumni Fund. With contributions totaling $33,773, the Class attained 122.2 per cent of its dollar objective which, percentwise, placed '22 fifth among all classes. Our participation index was 107.1 per cent. It is difficult to express adequate thanks to Carter Hoyt and his group of loyal Class Agents: Elmer Ardiff, George Brooks, Chuck Canfield, Herm Carlisle, Mai Clarke, Jack Dana, Warren Daniell, Charlie Earle, Roy Hill, Max Kenyon, Fran Leland, Andy Marshall, Herm Oliver, Bill Perry, Spenny Smith, Jack Taylor, Duke VosBurgh, Les Wagner, Johnny Weare. Without them and all other Alumni Fund workers what would Dartmouth do? To every classmate who gave, to '22's loyal widows, and to all memorial contributors, the Class offers its sincere gratitude.
Congratulations from the Class to Clif Watson, Charlotte, N. C., upon his reelection as representative of the Southern States to the Dartmouth Alumni Council. The Council represents 33,000 Dartmouth men and its work is divided among ten active committees. Clif, for example, serves on the Bequest and the Athletic Committees. Other Twoters who have served on the Alumni Council are Bill Bullen, Red Boyd, Bob Booth, Jack Dodd, Carroll Dwight, Gene Hotchkiss, Killy Kilmarx, and Wally Mountcastle.
Bruce Cunningham and Kirk St ;en left us in sadness last June. A further report will appear In Memoriam this month or later.
Last call to '22's next football weekend in Hanover. All rooms for the Penn Game weekend were taken two months ago. But rooms for the Yale Game weekend, October 29-30, may still be available if you call Ike Miller—802-785-2012—now. It will be the Yale varsity's second football visit to Hanover in 87 years and it will be no surprise if some people have to sleep in canoes on the Connecticut River. As usual, our Class room reservations for the weekend will be at Howard Johnson's White River Motel and will be available only on a Friday and Saturday basis.
Dr. John Mckoan, '22 will happily learn, has satisfactorily recovered from illness and hospitalization last June. He and wife Pat will be with us at the football games and at the 50th.
Louis Giuek, Minneapolis, definitely hopes to make our 50th. He'd better, or his family will disown him, because grandson Louis A. Gluek III enters Dartmouth this fall in the class of '75 arid his father, Louis A. Jr., was in the Class of '49. Avoidance of the domestic doghouse is a valid reason for each of us to attend the 50th. But, man, be sure you bring that flapper gal who married you for better or worse. She, too, went through the grinder with you—remember?
