1922

As Professor 'Enry 'Iggins exclaims in My Fair Lady, "You did it, you did it, you did it!" One hundred and seventy-four members of the '22 family contributed $35,498 to the 1978 Alumni Fund. Our participation index was 99 per cent and our dollar per cent of objective was 142. The $35,498 sets a new record as the largest amount ever given by '22 in a nonreunion year. Moreover, in this first Alumni Fund in the five-year Campaign for Dartmouth, every dollar goes toward that vital goal. The Class proudly offers genuine gratitude to all who participated: classmates, wives, relatives, and friends of departed classmates. And warm congratulations to Spenny Smith and our loyal team of class agents.

When Dartmouth celebrated her 208th commencement on June 11, our class joyfully had two progenies in the graduating procession, Elizabeth Holway Daniell '78 and Peter Spiegel Hirschberg '78. Elizabeth is the granddaughter of Warren and Mary Daniell and the daughter of Warren Jr. '48. She is Phi Beta Kappa, magna cum laude, and has high distinction in her anthropology major. Peter is the grandson of Modie and Carolyn Spiegel, and the son of their daughter Barbara Anne. He was a member of the Class of '78 Council, he chaired a dormitory, and he has been a mainstay on the student-managed radio station. He has been news editor for the past three years and publicity director for the past two. Twenty-two gladly offers its very best wishes to our 1978 graduates.

As the academic year ran out, two events in Hanover stirred fond memories of classmates for Jacob and Lillian Strauss. In May, TheDartmouth announced the forthcoming retirement of Paul R. Zeller, Jacob H. and Lillian B. Strauss Professor of Music. Professor Zeller has been a proficient, beloved teacher at Dartmouth for the past 31 years. In June the galleries at Hopkins Center showed the 15th annual exhibition of student art. All the works were highly impressive and, understandably to Twoters, particularly those displayed in the Strauss Gallery. The arts are indeed flourishing at Dartmouth. One example: Across the sandwich board, I asked a personable freshman (who ate three three-deckers!), "Why did you come here?" "Mainly because Dartmouth has the best drama department in the Ivy League."

Betty Horan returned to Vassar in June for the 50th reunion of her class. And besides Bet- ty, '22 boasts three other Vassar wives: MaryDaniell, Helen Kilmarx, and Catherine Miner. Are we missing some daisy-chainer?

Margaret Morrissey went back to her 55th at Connecticut College and came home with the report, "None of the girls' voices has changed at all!"

Dick Litchfield regretfully reports Bill and Dot Gallagher, both seriously ill, are now in the Berlin Convalescent Home, RFD #3, Barre, Vt. 05641. Notes of encouragement would undoubtedly help.

Andy Marshall had a severe bout with pneumonia last spring, but indomitably for Andy and gratefully for '22, he has made favorable recovery.

Charlie Earle in the past year has had no less than five hospitalizations with surgery and complications. His wife, Peg, has been a most admirable helpmate and the prognosis now thankfully gives hope he will soon resume attending the Dartmouth Cape Cod luncheons at Mildred's Chowder House, Hyannis. BobBartlett, Larry Healy, and Ted Laycock will be delighted to pass the chowder crackers to Charlie again.

Stan Miner has recovered so well he'd like to try skateboarding, but Catherine and '22 definitely forbid.

When you city slickers come to Hanover for the football games this autumn - and it is hoped many of you will - please drive extra carefully in the town. Hanover has not had a pedestrian fatality in 28 years, and the local septuagenarians are especially eager to see that record continue.
