1920
In Luman Howe's 1917 class notes in November 1975 he reported that Dean Emeritus Chester Arthur Phillips, whom many 1920 men will remember as a beloved faculty member on the Dartmouth campus, is still alive and well at the fine old age of 93. He is residing in the Beverly Manor Retirement Home in lowa City, lowa 52240. Some years ago the University built a $2,000,000 School of Business Administration and dedicated it to Dr. Phillips. I am sure he would enjoy letters from former students.
Charlie Ashton Jr. reports a change of address to R.D.5, T 101, Pine Tree M.H., Indiana, Pa. 15701 where the Ashtons will reside on a high hill in a Christmas Tree Farm which recalls to them pleasant memories of New Hampshire and Maine.
From Warrie Gault comes some good news and some bad. The good news: Warrie's two oldest grandsons were married last summer; one in Manhasset, N.Y.; the other in Scottsville, Va. The sad news: Warrie's daughter Jane passed on in her sleep very suddenly. Our deepest sympathy for this great loss to you, Warrie.
George Vincent and his wife Peg continue to reside in Swampscott, Mass. George says he is "still on his feet" but Peg is not well. Attendance at future reunions appears bleak.
Ken Hussey and his new wife are resolving where they should live while in Florida and up north, each possessing properties in both regions. Ken professes to be in reasonably good shape and very content. That's as it should be, Ken, particularly after you resolve your "place" problems.
Henry Hayes of Rochester, N.Y., reports he saw his fellow townsman Pete Potter recently - in the fall of 1975 - and reported that Pete was reasonably well but "didn't get around much."
Ted Cart reports that his grandson Benjamin Whaley Cart, now a student at Deerfield Academy is contemplating college entrance. The young man is a good scholar and a lover of the out-of-doors. He is visiting Williams, Harvard, and Dartmouth, among others. Let's hope he prefers green, rather than crimson or purple.
Bob Mulcahy reports he is recuperating at home from surgery performed at the Massachusetts General Hospital. We hope all is going well with you, Bob.
Don MacKay, up Fish Creek, Wis., way offered Al Frey a bit of wisdom concerning four letter words, according to the courts, which held that such words are not necessarily obscene. Don cited Mayor Daley's biography "Boss" and Sally Quinn's life on CBS-TV "We will make you a Star." It all depends so much on the point of view, e.g. "love" is a good four letter word; as is "hate," et cetera, et cetera.
Jim Parkes of Rumson, N.J. confesses he is "slowing down" which means in our language that his pace is now equal to that of a normal man. Jim has had a most busy life and rates the slower pace from here on in.
From Sunny Sunergren in Hingham, Mass., we pass on to all his "greetings and salutations." That means all is well with the Sunergrens, if an interpretation is needed.
Bob Winters, reflecting on the heat of last summer in New England, says he'll forego winter in New England any time for summer year-round in Florida. He seems well acclimated.
Doc and Harriet Miller plan to spend a month and perhaps more in the Valley of the Sun, the Phoenix area, in Arizona while New England and Worcester are meeting the problems of winter, come mid-January.
Prexy and Frances McGoughran have fled their Norfolk, Conn., nest to reside for the winter at Delray Beach in Florida. Keep on course, Charlie, especially when you are trying for a hole-in-one.
Regretfully we report the passing of WilliamH. Farnham Jr., one of our most respected classmates and long time resident of Spokane, Washington. His obituary will appear in this or a later issue of the Magazine. Bill died December 4, 1975.
Well, we are on our way into the Bicentennial Year full of gratitude that we live in a country founded with courage and high ideals. Let's keep it that way.
Adios, amigos.
