1922
As the Fabulous Fiftieth. June 9, 10, 11, draws nigh for this small but select class it may be fun to see how quickly Twoters can identify one of our most distinguished classmates. Time yourself, the winner gets a free beer at Reunion. This Twoter was 19 years old, the youngest graduate in '22, when on Tuesday, June 20, 1922 he received his Dartmouth A.B. summa cum laude and, of course, he was Phi Beta Kappa. Even as a pea-green freshman he was one of the many precocious kids who served in the military—believe it or not, Without Pay!—in famous Company I of the Student Army Training Corps. After Dartmouth he went to Harvard Business School where he acquired his M.B.A. with highest distinction and some years later he won his Ph.D. at Columbia. He was on the faculty at Harvard, University of Buffalo, and Cornell. He worked with the Rand Corporation, Dun and Bradstreet, and as an economist on the staff of Rockefeller Brothers in New York. He served the U. S. on the War Production Board, the Economic Cooperation Administration in Washington, D. C., and in Paris where he was Director of the Program Division, the National Security Council, and the Hoover Commission. If you have not recognized your classmate by now, buy your own beer.
But take an A for your keen perception if you have obviously identified Shaw Livermore. More recently, beginning in 1957, he became dean of the College of Business and Public Administration at the University of Arizona. He served in this position for six years and then spent a year as a professor at the American University, Beirut, Lebanon. He returned to Arizona as professor of management and in 1967 he was in Thailand for the U. S. State Department. In Bangkok, Shaw and PhyaMontri Donavanik had a most pleasant '22 reunion of their own. The following year Shaw came back to Arizona as professor of public administration and recently at the youthful age of 69 he retired from that position. And now the Class hopes Shaw will be with us June 9, 10, 11, to receive a warm welcome and personal congratula- tions from all his older classmates in '22.
Dick Litchfield, who with wife Mary winters in Tucson, is the culprit to whom '22 owes its gratitude for updating us on Shaw. And, hopefully, Harvey Moses, who also escapes snow in Tucson, together with '22's permanent Arizona delegation of Larry Henderson, Shep Naylor, and Stew Stearns will all return for our Fiftieth.
Last night, February 22—"1 cannot tell a lie"—Hanover thermometers registered 20 degrees below zero. It cannot be denied it was a mite chilly and somehow directed envious thoughts toward '22's many classmates who are enjoying the warmth of Florida. You lucky guys: Al Acker, Bob Armstrong, Wally Aschenbach, Ralph Bruckner, Cecil Burnham, Bob Burgess, Frank Dow, Earl Fredericks, Webster Garst, Arvin Gunnison, Brews Marean, Jim Martin, Wally Mountcastle, Bill Rex, Frederic Sargent, Don Spaulding, Abe Steinberg, Hal Tayntor, and Ray Wason. Listen, lads, your Fiftieth is only two months ahead. You all come back, hear?
Harry and Peg Bruckner have moved from Summit, N. J., where they lived for many years, to 50 Summer St., Duxbury, Mass. 02332. At their new home they will be near Jim and Edie Hamilton and Walt and Doris Sands. And most of all, Harry and Peg will enjoy being closer to son Harry Jr. '60, his wife Virginia and their two children in Marshfield, Mass.
Harry F. Liao, for whom the Class and the Alumni Records Office have been many years anxiously searching, has been located living at 174 Lexington Ave., Apt. 18, New York City. According to an unconfirmed report, he looks as spry and neat as he did 50 years ago on the Dartmouth Fencing Team. Harry was born in Canton, China, and one report has it that after Dartmouth he was for some time associated with the foreign service department of China. For many more recent years he has been in the spice business. '22 welcomes you again, Harry—and if you will come back to Reunion maybe we can even get Richard and Pat to join in at our Fiftieth.
Donald A. Powell, as reported sadly InMemoriam, departed from the Class in early February.
Last bell for Little Reunion, April 21-22 at the Hanover Inn which awaits your call at 603-643-4300. It will be assumed that all who stay at the Inn will attend the class dinner, Saturday evening, April 22; otherwise please notify Len Morrissey before April 20. And for those who do not stay at the Inn, but will attend the dinner—and, hopefully, many "locals" will—please call Len on 643-4262 before April 20 so you won't have to eat on your heels. Major topic for the weekend will be completion of plans for our one and only Fiftieth, June 9. 10, 11.
From Herm and Flo Oliver: "We hope to see all classmates at our Fiftieth."
And Ralph and Gert Bruckner: "We are certainly looking forward to the Fiftieth, June 9, 10, 11."
Carter Hoyt's homecoming from the hospital in late February was most welcome news to the entire class, as was the fine report of Bob Clark's convalescence. Now, Carter, Spenny Smith and Bob are teaming together in a dedicated effort to reach '22's objective of $75,000 for our Fiftieth Reunion Alumni Fund. Carter and Spenny are directing their efforts toward all classmates and Bob is directing his toward memorial contributors. The goal for this one-time effort is based upon each classmate contributing three times the amount of his 1971 donation. The Class is off to a promising start, but the final accomplishment is far from certain. '22 will succeed only if every Twoter participates on the 3 to 1 basis and squarely faces this challenge to our Fiftieth Reunion Class.
