1916
Our class has been without a secretary and newsletter editor since the death of John Stearns last July, but thanks to Roger Evans who had been helping John, and who carried on after John left us, we have gotten along very well.
I am glad now to be able to announce that Paul Goward has accepted the office of class secretary and newsletter editor and will make his debut with the February Newsletter.
In looking over the November issue of the Magazine I find that the secretaries of classes listed therein, starting with 1902 and including 1913, are all residents of New England, whereas thereafter some class secretaries live in Florida or elsewhere, though the majority are in or near New England. Paul lives in Florida and was a bit concerned about his distance from Hanover which I do not feel need be any handicap, making allowances for our present uncertainties as to the time of mail in transit.
One advantage of having a secretary in Florida should be an increase in news from those classmates who fish for the big ones in the gulf stream, and from those who just cultivate their deep tans on their patios, beaches, or golf links. This sort of news might well take the place of the tales of snow shovelling that come from our New England correspondents.
Paul writes that he has already contacted 1914's secretary, I suspect for moral support, and apparently found him alive and kicking and able to provide his class with good coverage, from Florida.
The following news item, excerpted from TheNew York Times of December 16, 1973, will be of interest not only to his classmates but to all of his Dartmouth friends who will be glad to hear of Frank Pettengill's recent marriage in New York City:
"In the chapel of the Madison Avenue Presbyterian Church at noon yesterday, (December 15, 1973) Mrs. Jessie McKenzie Parvin of New York, widow of William Rodman Parvin, became the bride of Dr. Frank Gordon Pettengill, an internist, of New York and New Castle, N.H.
The ceremony was performed by the Rev. George Cooper. There was a reception at the New York Junior League Clubhouse.
William Rodman Parvin Jr. of Dallas, gave his mother in marriage. Mrs. Hugh Elder Gardiner Goodman of Morristown, N.J., attended her mother.
The bride is a member of the Junior League of New York, and a graduate of the Masters School in Dobbs Ferry, N.Y.
Dr. Pettengill, an alumnus of Dartmouth College and the Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, is an attending physician at Midtown Hospital and a consulting physician at the Hospital for Special Surgery. He is a widower."
