1922

Dartmouth alums are wont to enthuse on the superiority of the College and the students when they were in Hanover. In this expatiation, Twoters have been just as gung ho - if not more so - than other classes. But in our 67 years of life at and after Dartmouth nary a word has been heard about the epicurean delights of the food at the College. Scotty's, Phil's, The Greasy Spoon, Ma Smalley's, the Avery Club, Mrs. Rood's, the Wheelock Club, Jim Haggerty's Grill, at cet- era were never contenders for four-star cu- linary honors. The best buy in town was probably breakfast at the Hanover Inn, all ybu could eat of many comestibles, and you, of course, were always hungry. But breakfast at the Inn was quite expensive maybe as much as a dollar, including gratuity, but with no meals tax in those tax-free days. Now, however and no alumnus 60 years or more out in the real world will ever believe it Dartmouth has an enviable reputation for the excellent food provided by the refurbished Thayer Dining Hall.

Evidence: at a spring track meet between the Dartmouth JVs and a well known prep school, the preppies were patently sluggish in accelerating the time between the various events. When asked to overcome their lethargy, the boys replied, "Please understand, we don't want to have to leave Hanover before dinner time. The food at Dartmouth is tops." And the perky girl manager of the visiting \team chimed in, "Dartmouth has the best food in the Ivy League. As a guest I have eaten at all the Ivies, and for food Dartmouth is definitely number one." As an alumnus, sometime when in Hanover, you might like to try a meal in Thayer. Even you might like it - and regret that you were born years ahead of time.

And speaking of food, Twoters, their families, and guests are cordially invited to the luncheon before the Dartmouth-Princeton football game in Hanover on Saturday, September 21, 1985. The classes 0f.'22, '21, '20, and '19 and members and guests of any earlier classes will be welcomed. The door of the Wheelock Room of the Hanover Inn will open at 11:15 a.m. The charge of $10 per person can be paid at the door, and there will be a cash bar. The Inn, of course, wants to know how many are coming, so reservations are necessary. Therefore, if you are coming, and it is hoped you will, please, before September 19, notify: Len Morrisey, 11 Brockway Road, Hanover, NH 03755, or telephone 603/643- 4262. For advance preparation of accurate name tags for you and your guests, please send the names as you would like to see them. The Wheelock Room is upstairs at the Inn, and the easiest way to get there is by the elevator from the lobby to the second floor. Speeches will be limited to two minutes each and one per class. You will be at the game before the kickoff at 1:30 p.m.

Twoters will learn to their sorrow that KentBirch "Nig" Hayes has left us. He died January 7, 1985, in Oklahoma City. An obituary will follow.

Nowadays, it seems many aspire to "a meaningful, long-term relationship," but all who seek do not attain. Dartmouth alums are fortunate in that they do have a relationship with Alma Mater that is unequivocally for life. And so, the class family of 1922 men, women, relatives, and friends, will proudly do their realistic share for the 1985 Alumni Fund. And not one of them will fail to send in his or her donation. We'll all join in doing "a deed for the old mother."

And now sincerely, have a good day every day of your summer.
