1922

Now '22, read this, and "read it loud and clear": "Resolution by the Board of Trustees of Dartmouth College, Saturday, October 14, 1972.

Voted to extend the grateful admiration and appreciation of the Trustees to the Class of 1922 membership and its Fund leaders—Carter H.Hoyt (deceased). Head Class Agent, and SpencerF. Smith, Special Gifts Chairman—for a fine new 50th Reunion Year Fund total of $85,520. The Class of 1922 has added a new chapter in the recently established Class Reunion Giving Program by this tremendous 50th year achievement."

And the accompanying letter to Spenny Smith, "I am very pleased to transmit to you the enclosed resolution unanimously voted by the Board of Trustees ... In doing so I want to add my own personal expression of thanks for the brilliant achievement you helped fashion for our Class. Sincerely, John G. Kemeny '22 ad."

"Our Class," too, reached a new zenith at its 50th and it is deeply grateful for the preceding distinction. The sincere gratitude of the Class goes to everyone who made the achievement possible. What an appropriate tribute to the last of Dartmouth's small classes, to Carter Hoyt, whose devotion to the College was unsurpassed, and to Spenny Smith, who carried on so loyally to realize the accomplishment. Though the Class in all probability will not repeat its 50th Reunion spectacular, it will always retain its avowed objective: the excellence of Dartmouth and the allegiance of '22 to that cause.

But all that glad news is diminished by a very sad note from Dr. Gaylord Anderson, who writes, "One of my former graduate students from Thailand adds the following paragraph to his Christmas greetings:

'Mr. V. Donavanik, your classmate at Dartmouth, passed away on the 19th last month. (In medical terms he describes the causes, which in laymens' language were post-operative complications.) You may have already had the sad news but I am passing it along in case you have not heard more directly.' " Every member of the Class will share this sadness. A more complete report will follow.

On a much lighter note, it is pleasant to say that Warren and Mary Daniell are undoubtedly our first '22 grandparents to have a granddaughter entering Dartmouth. She is Elizabeth H. Daniell, daughter of Warren Jr. '48 and his wife Dorothy. Elizabeth, an honors student at Concord-Carlisle (Mass.) high school and a language school student in France last summer, recently received her early decision acceptance for the Class of 1977. Hope Beth's cousin Christopher, now a Dartmouth freshman and son of Sam Daniell '52 and his wife Zandra, doesn't try any sophomore chauvinism on her.

Last June many classmates asked "Why don't we get together more often?" Well, this spring we'll have another get-together at '22's annual Little Reunion. It will be at the Hanover Inn the weekend of April 27-28. More details will follow later, but some classmates have already inquired about the room rates at the Inn. They range from $13 to $20 per night for a single room and $17 to $28 for a double. In all probability there will also be rooms available at the Hanover Inn Motor Lodge where the rates run about $14 per night for a single and about $20 for a double. Reservations for either the Inn or the Motor Lodge should be made at the Inn which will not be surprised to hear from you, particularly if you identify yourself as a member of the Class of '22. So, including room and meals, a man and wife can have a most enjoyable weekend with life-long friends for an approximate range of $75 to $100, if you specify about what you'd like to pay for your room—and if you keep your wife away from Hanover's shopping attractions.

Gene Hotchkiss and Ike Miller, 22's Bequest and Estate Planning Program Chairmen, pointed out in their December letter that the Class now has three matured bequests, 31 out-right bequest expectancies and 11 contingent bequest expectances The Class also has seven life income trusts cies. amount to $366,358. As the letter says "Life income giving is one of the fastest growing ways by which Dartmouth men are benefitting the College and themselves at the same time. The variety of available plans and the flexibility they make possible under current tax laws have made the advantages to the donor significantly greater than in earlier years." Just remember you can't take it with You and- if you are beginning to accept that fact, Gene or Ike will be delighted to hear from you.
