1929
Summer came, Now it's spent.
Wonder where it has went.
Spring paid a non-stop call.
Labor Day brings in fall.
Class notes are due September 2 and the summer months have produced a plethora of news from traveling and stay-at-home classmates of their activities and interests both at work and at home. They extend from Cannes to Bankok, and from birth to death, bringing both joy and sorrow to '29 as we share in each others victories and defeats.
The headline news is the triumph of JoeLosey in winning the Golden Palm symbol of the top honor at the Cannes Film Festival this summer for his latest film venture, "The Go-Between." This picture has a screen play written by Harold Pinter and has an excellent cast including Alan Bates, Julie Christie, and Michael Redgrave. Twelve-year-old boy Dominic Gard gives what Newsweek describes as "the best performance by a juvenile since Patty Duke played the young Helen Keller in the (Miracle Worker.)" The film is hailed by Cynthia Grenier in the May 28 issue of The New York Times. Time Magazine's August 9 issue devotes its four-column, two-page "Cinema" section to "Two by Losey" with a fine picture of Joe who describes himself as "a middle aged Marxist Romantic." The Catholic Free Press, Worcester Diocese weekly, had a three-column review headlined "New slow-paced romantic film capturing praises of critics," and says, "The National Catholic Office for Motion Pictures summoned its board of consultors to a special screening of "The Go-Between" to view it as a possible candidate for an NCOMP prize when the film office will give its annual awards in early 1972."
Other news includes Bill Andres' election as president of Exeter Board of Trustees; and successful completion of its "Long Step Forward" drive to raise $25.4 million capital. Ed Chinlund, Class Agent, sends a card from Polly and himself in Kronberg, West Germany. Sylvia A. Dickey, eldest of the John Dickeys' children, graduate of Wheelock and teacher in Wellesley, Mass., public school system, has been elected to the Board of Trustees of St. Mary's in the Mountains School in Littleton, N. H., of which she is an alumna. Her mother also served as trustee.
The Sunday Times of August 22 has an article on the American Jewish Committee's request to President Nixon to consider dual enrollment as a means of coping with financial problems of parochial schools. Phil Hoffman is president of the committee studying the concept of permitting religious school pupils to attend nearby public schools for part-time instruction in non-religious subjects.
Karl Michael was awarded the Second Red Rolfe Award in May '71 in honor of his 40 years plus association with Dartmouth College swimming. '29's famous Chief Justice Frank Kenison put his hand and foot on a shovel to plant a white birch tree presented to the New Hampshire Supreme Court by the Concord Federated Business and Professional Womens Club as a symbol of the club's statewide conservation program.
We have an announcement from the Tuck School that Tuck Overseer JohnMoxon, president of Carpenter Technology Corp., became Chairman of the Board on July 1, 1971. '29 extends hearty congratulations to the Moxons for this well-merited promotion. Our assistant secretary, HankStein, reports the arrival of a new grandchild, Jill Emilie, born in Bankok, Thailand on June 26 to their daughter Clare Rosenfield and her husband, bringing their grandchildren to five in number. Congratulations to Hank and Fay and all their family.
A letter from Frank Weeks in Highland Park, Ill., says that he and his wife spent 8½ wks. in Africa early this year. He retired on January 1, 1971 after 39 years of commuting to Chicago on the Northwestern R.R. He is now "busier than ever on my Retirement Project." The latter is showing his Winnisimet Collection of "Travel Slides in Full Color." His interesting brochure lists 14 lectures of Asia, Africa, Europe, and the Near and Far East. His address is P. O. Box 112, Highland Park, Ill. 60035.
This closing item is one of the most significant changes in 1929 and current Dartmouth history. I refer to the retirement after 30 years plus service of Dud Orr as a College Trustee—15 years of which were as Clerk of the Board. This modest classmate's honors, board, memberships, legal, business, educational and charitable interests are too numerous to number. Sufficient to repeat the Worcester Gazette of August 23. 1971 headline "Named Fund Director" followed by four paragraphs of Orr's diversified and useful career.
Your secretary regrets to report the death of two members of the Class during the past summer, John Cort and DavidDudley, to whose families '29 extends sympathy in their loss.
Secretary, MORTON C. JAQUITH 339 Main St. Worcester, Mass. 01608
Treasurer, JOHN c. HUBBARD Dellwood Park, Madison, N. J. 07940
