1922

"Is there Life after Dartmouth?" That, unbelievably, was the ludicrous title of a recent Student-Alumni Career Conference in Hanover. Incredibly, but true, students are now prone to listen as alumni talk about careers in the wide, wide world. A class as young as '22 can answer the question convincingly: "Yes, Virginia, there is indeed life after Dartmouth and, despite your doubts, it continues abundantly even 53 years after graduation."

For example, our '22 doctors such as Gaylord Anderson, Bill Angell, Ed Cramton, Norm Crane, Doc Hallett, Clyde Jensen, John McKoan, Ray Millemann, Markey Pullen, David Rivo, Ted Robie, George Sackett, and Dick Stetson still sincerely desire to alleviate human suffering.

Likewise, our lawyers such as John Carleton, Haskell Cohn, King Fauver, Tony Hanlon, Larry Henderson, Frank Horan, Jack Ingraham, Ray Morris, Harvey Moses, Len Probst, Ray Ramback, and Sterry Waterman still hope to keep people out of trouble and to assist them when they fall into quagmires.

Many Twoters also continue distinguished careers in business and those yet active in civic affairs, community enterprises and social welfare are impressively numerous. And, not the least, are the many classmates who continue to work wholeheartedly for Dartmouth College.

But, perhaps more surprisingly to undergraduates, '22 also continues its athletic traditions. Jim Moody roams the world and climbs mountains; Steve Kenyon races sailboats; Warren Daniel! wins ski meets, hikes Outing Club trails, and plays golf. Gray Bates plays tennis and catches more fish than Izaak Walton ever did. Ray Atwood aspires to the national bowling circuit. Bill Bullen plays competitive tennis and tournament golf.

Fairways and putting greens are also favorite haunts of many other classmates. To mention only a few still trying for a hole in one, there are Wally Aschenbach, Roy Ball, Herm Carlisle, Ted Davidson, Carroll Dwight, Gunny Gunnison, Tony Hanlon, Chick Hopkins, Gene Hotchkiss, Ed McNamara, Larry Robinson, Walt Sands, Ozzie Siegfried, and Jack Taylor. And Spenny Smith is modestly trying to get his third hole in one.

Twenty-Two, of course, always had a strong tennis tradition beginning with John Carleton and Clarence Sanders, the mainstays of our college team. As captain, Sandy in 1921 and 1922 won both the singles and, with Pete Howe '23 the doubles championships of the New England Intercollegiates at Longwood.

Now there is Mai Clarke, who won his D in football and his Phi Bete key in class. He continues not only to play tennis but competes with genuine gusto. Mai was runner-up in the finals of a large tournament last summer at Springfield, Mass.

Don Tobin, our erstwhile net minder, is another aspiring Maurice McLoughlan - but if you remember that name, you're a true mediaevalist. Don had so many opponents take shots at him when he was goalie on our hockey and soccer teams that now swift serves completely fail to intimidate him. Undoubtedly in preparation for the Wimbledon Fortnight, Don spent some of last summer at California's La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club. And while there he also had a pleasant visit with Parker Meade who retains his interest in higher educational activities in the San Diego area.

So, to young people in the Class of 1975, we Twoters positively affirm there is indeed life after Dartmouth, and it may even sparkle brightly after they too have passed three score and ten.

And, incidentally, if there are any Twoters parachute jumping, bobsled racing, practicising judo, or scuba diving, just let your class scribbler know. Like all youngsters, '22 loves derring-do guys.

But now our good news turns to sadness with the report that two fine classmates have left us. Laurence Campbell and Will Nicholson are sorrowfully no longer with the Class. The obituary section has more complete reports.

Another departed classmate, Dr. Nicholas Georgia, has been cited as follows in a publication from St. Francis Hospital, Hartford, Conn:

"A past president of the SFH Medical Staff, Dr. Georgio was a highly respected physician in the practice of pediatrics. Gentle, courteous, and the. epitome of charity in speech and deed, Dr. Georgio represented the highest tradition of the medical profession. His avocation of magic provided another facet of interest. Many of us had the pleasure of viewing his displays of magic, enjoying the sudden appearance of brilliantly-hued chiffon scarves, whirling tumblers, fast moving coins. At home in this world and in the world of magic, Dr. Georgio is surely at home in the most important of all worlds."

Practicing what they preach, however, the majority of the Class doctors are fortunately still able to cheer for Dartmouth. Though when Dr. Ray Millemann recently moved to 32 East 27th St., Baltimore, Maryland, from Grants Pass, Oregon, he left that state without any '22 representatives. Maybe one reason things are not as bright as they should be nationally is because 20 states now have to try getting along without a '22 classmate to spur them on.

And, if these notes seem somewhat replete with doctors and lawyers, it is only because these two professions, about equally divided, account for close to 20 per cent of all living Dartmouth alumni.
