1922

'22 delights in congratulating classmates John Kemeny and Peter Kiewit: John for his Doctorates of Law, from Princeton and Columbia last June; Peter for his vice-presidency of the General Association of Alumni, of Dartmouth, likewise last spring. Gentlemen, the most hearty thanks from the Class for your devotion to Dartmouth.

In late September as these notes are being fabricated, Dartmouth has begun its 202nd year and '22 has started its 53 rd year. Some of the freshmen of '75 exude confidence, others seem somewhat bewildered—and so were we in September 1918. Every entering class is naturally the most brilliant and talented; otherwise, where would humanity be 50 years from now? And what will the College be like in 2021? Our Class has proudly and affectionately shared in Dartmouth's strides to preeminence. So, whatever the future brings, may '75 and the other undergraduate classes share in that same privilege of enhancing the renown of Dartmouth as '22 has done and continues to do.

The football squad is grinding through the usual rigorous practices for the games ahead in Dartmouth's 90th football season. We can't always win them all, but the motivation is there and the team will go all out for a successful season. What more can anyone ask? Indeed, as an antidote for anyone who thinks all traditional values are going down the drain, just come to Hanover and watch football practice for a few days. You'll get a restoration of hope and courage far beyond most of what you see and hear.

Some of the candidates may not make the headlines; they are the unsung heroes, the wholly dedicated junior varsity, now called the Triple A team, the uncheered scrubs of our day. They compete every day as if the Ivy title were at stake, solely to make the Varsity look good on Saturdays. It is not new; in fact, it is traditional for '22 also had many classmates who did the same. After some recollection and help, particularly from Rex Malmquist and Ozzy Siegfried, here are our own Twoters who worked unsparingly to make the Varsity the powerhouse it was: MikeAdams, Clif Akey, Wally Aschenbach,Dick Bowler, Johnny Carleton, SamChevalier, Gus Cummings, Roger Eastman, George Fleming, Hal Fraser, StanJackson, Phil Leighton, John McKoan,Rex Malmquist, Bill Neary, HenryPowers, Markey Pullen, Stewie Stearns,Zeke Shoup, Butch Spiel, Herb West, and Bud Winkler. These are all in addition to the 13 men previously listed in these notes from the Princeton game program last October. In total it would seem that during its undergraduate years '22 had some 35 classmates on the football squad. Now, if the above list has missed someone—as it unquestionably has—please take the class scribbler to task.

Memorial Field in Hanover brings poignant memories to '22, superseding even the recollections of football games. Within the main portal to the right a large granite tablet shows the engraved names of the Dartmouth men who died in service during World War I. The names of 112 men appear there and the classes range from 1883 through 1922. Our classmates are George Elmer Conant, Contoocook, N. H., September 21, 1918; Harold HansonMooney, Alton, N. H., September 29, 1918; Theodore Conant Wadleigvh, Milford, N. H., September 28, 1918. Only a few days after registration as freshmen and induction into the service, they passed away in the terrible flu epidemic of that autumn and '22 thereby tragically lost three classmates in the very first days of its existence. The inscription on the memorial:

The Mother keeps them in her heart And guards their altar flame The still North remembers them The hill winds know their name And the granite of New Hampshire Keeps the record of their fame

Warren and Mary Daniell, DickLitchfield, Ike Miller, Stan and Catherine Miner, Len and Margaret Morrissey attended the annual September picnic of the Dartmouth Club of the Hanover Area. Held in the Bema, this always congenial gathering preceded the last preseason scrimmage of the football team. Stan, you should know, is an honored president emeritus of this thriving club.

Well, the first game, U. of Mass., has just been won and Twoters at Amherst rejoiced in a resounding victory on a most beautiful day. The group included Ray and DorisAtwood, George and Betty Brooks,Carroll and Nan Dwight, Tony Hanlon,Carter and Allie Hoyt, Ike and HarriottMiller, Len and Margaret Morrissey,Spenny and Marge Smith. Here's hoping for more days like that.

Wayne Shirley writes "I do hope to make our 50th for I recall clearly as an undergraduate being so impressed that the Fifty year class stepped out so briskly at their reunion. Now I want to see if I can do as well." And don't we all?
