1929

Charlie Widmayer has sounded the tocsin for the opening issue of the Alumni Magazine's 65 year.

The secretaries have been alerted that September 2 is the due date for Class notes; and that date by an unfortunate sequence of events is today. The flesh is strong but the will was weak and Hanover bound notes are reaching their peak. '29s notes, Joan Hier alas in vain will seek; for they'll not arrive before next week.

Class news has been piling up since early May and some of it may now be stale, four months having passed since the last writing.

The engagement of Larry Lougee's daughter Priscilla Nancy to John R. Rizzo was announced last July. She was graduated from the Burnham School in Greenfield, Mass., and graduated from Centenary College last year. Her fiancee is a graduate of Kimball Union Academy and Lehigh University 1972. He is training for the N. Y. Giants' football team at Monmouth College in New Jersey. '29s congratulations and best wishes to Priscilla and John.

A May clipping from the Palo Alto Times sent to us by Dan Marx shows CarlB. Spaeth's picture and tells of a $225,000 scholarship fund in the Dean's honor. He retired in August after serving as chairman of the International Studies Program; and holding the endowed William Nelson Cromwell professorship of law.

Three more '29ers have retired after years of distinguished service in their respective fields. Bill Heeremans was one of six retiring administrative officers who were honored as special guests of President Kemeny at the June Commencement. Bill entered College from Lenox, Mass., where his father was a private gardener and horticulturist. Bill's first job was at Princeton taking care of tennis courts from which after three years of World War II service, he returned to Princeton as superintendent of grounds and buildings for athletics. He returned to Dartmouth in 1957 in the same capacity and gave his alma mater 15 years of devoted service. He was not the only member of the family who was honored at Commencement. His son Michael was one of the seniors who graduated that day. '29 congratulates both father and son for the dual honors conferred upon them.

Archie Crowley, Suffragan Bishop of Michigan has retired after 18 years of service in the post — the first priest in the 121-year-old diocese to be elevated to that position ending a long standing tradition of their selection from outside the diocese. During his term, he established St. Peter's Home for Boys, served as chairman of Michigan's Fair Practices Commission on Human Resources. In 1956, he was elected president of Metropolitan Detroit Council of Churches. '29 wishes Archie and Jean health, happiness, and a joyful life in their retirement home on Old Towne Lane in West Chatham, Mass.

Jack Hubbard's copy of notice of EdAbbott's retirement from his Justice Dept. post of special agent moving from Los Angeles to Big Bear City, Cal., on his retirement from F. B.I. His activities since then read like a leap from the frying pan into the fire. Director of Community Services of the hospital district, co-founder of Big Bear Historical Association, presi- dent of Chamber of Commerce — "to name a few."

Joe D'Esopo's wife took a round-the-world cruise last spring in fulfilling her duties as president of the Dartmouth Travel Bureau and her picture appeared in the May 15 issue of the Valley News being welcomed aboard.

The Class has suffered a heavy loss of members in the late spring whose obituaries have not yet appeared: Horace G. Hoch,John C. Payne, Walton O. Head,George Marble, and Francis H. Corrigan. We have also suffered on the distaff side. Larry Hale and Hale Leich lost their wives last spring and just before this writing, the notice of Gus Wiedenmayer's wife's death appeared in the New York Times. Our hearts and our thoughts go out to them and their families in what is both their and '29s loss.
