1922

During 40 years at Norwalk (Conn.) High School, Eric C. "Rex" Malmquist was teacher, coach, and principal. In those years the school received national recognition for excellence. In honor of Rex some time after his retirement, the outdoor athletic facilities were nated Malmquist Field. In 1986 the city proposed taking part of the field for a parking lot. Many loyal high school alumni considered this as degrading the honor given to the retired principal. They organized, threatened legal action, and eventually the proposal was nullified. Later the alumni committee presented Rex with a framed design of Malmquist Field as it remains. Pleasant things can and do happen even as we age beyond the mid-eighties.

The loss of Gunny Gunnison revives memories of the 1922 golf team AugustusBoyd (captain), Gunny, Tony Henlon, and Oscar Rice. They won seven matches, losing only one, to Princeton. Boyd won the Intercollegiate Individual Championship for the year and was also designated All American Intercollegiate Golfer for 1922. Boyd left a son, Llewellyn '50, now living in Chattanooga.

Jack Dodd, our president and a former Trustee of the College, keeps in constant touch with the class officers from his home in Summit, N.J. Under his leadership the class members, now 66 years out, feel an especially warm association with the College and with each other.
