THIRD ANNUAL 1918 FATHER AND SONS' DINNER HANOVER, FRIDAY, MARCH 3 6 P.M., OUTING CLUB HOUSE
Stumpie Barr makes this a memorable event
Dear to the hearts of the youth of the land, and especially around Kentucky, good old Al Gustafson, who has done so much in giving of himself for the betterment of youth (Pres. of the Park Football League, Chr. Bd. of Guardians, Episcopal Orphanage, Director Salvation Army, boys' activities), writes about the most worthwhile things in life"of all the pleasant surprises that happened most unexpectedly, good old Swede Youngstrom, famous, handsome skoning, phoned me from Newton Center the other day (let. 1/25/50) when ALUMNI MAG. arrived at his home. It was such a stunning surprise to hear his good old voice and he can still talk Swedish as good as ever. He told me about my picture in the MAG., and my copy arrived the next day—so I then realized he was not kidding. Anyway if that is what it takes to arouse Swede to call, mc-re power to the ALUMNI MAC. It sure was good to hear from my former 'landsman' and I got a big kick out of the call. Also had a nice New Year's eve telegram from Duke from Hanover. Boy, oh boy, things like that keep a fellow inspired and happy."
Gus goes on to tell how young Gus and Betsy both used to go to Center College, met their spouses there, and young Gus and son-in-law are now finishing their schooling at U. or Louisville. Gus is taking it easy at home, getting stronger and up to 165 ibs. which still is some ways down from his old 205. He says "Ruth is doing a swell job and runs the business in wonderful styleshe is a great girl and I'm sure all our wives are the same." At '18's reunion at the big N. . City Alumni dinner, Wed., Apr. 12, when 18 gathers for luncheon at the Dartmouth Club (noon) then goes over to the specia room at the Commodore Ho el (3 P.M.) for the big reunion in store for all, it is hoped that possibly (and we've written Gus) Gus might come up for the occasion; maybe Swede Youngstrom too We've written Ed Healy; Jim Carpenter and DickCooley have promised, and the out-of-towners we enjoyed in '4B may be there also, namely GeorgeArnold, Eric Ball, Paul Erwtn, Henry OppenhetmClarence Opper, Tom Shirley, jack Storrs and Phil Tusting. Last year in addition to those mentioned we enjoyed out-of-towners Hort ChandlerChaunce Hood, George Hull, Don Macatday AlStreet Al Zulick and Henry van Zelitn. lhis should be a wonderful, enjoyable occasion and even Bob Pish in Arizona says it's worth making a trans-continental journey.
Talk about a world-wide traveller! On Jan. 26 George Dockstader, burlap and shellac tvcoon, headed off for India, Siam, Ceylon, Pakistan, and was flying by Stratolmer to England and then to Calcutta. .... Marion and Frank Clahane, Edith and Dick Holton Gerry Geran and others had the grand pleasure of wishing bon voyage to AdmiralPaul Mather and Mary. Paul was tendered a great testimonial dinner by 100 of his admiring colleagues and., mark you this, Pres. Truman called him in to bestow thanks upon the Admiral. They'll be gone for 3 months, in every country except Spain and Portugal. And, says Paul, "we'll keep going until our money runs out." A few nights before Mary and the Admiral were guests of Pat and George Stoddard at a dinner party at the Plaza attended by a former Ambassador to the Court of Saint James and many distinguished guests from Scandinavian countries visited by the Stoddards last year while in Europe
From Betty and Bob Shirley we received a most welcome Christmas card saying, "Thanks for keeping the fires we have been ligh.ing out of the Dartmouth ALUMNI MAGAZINE." Well, who didn't have the joy as a kid of sneaking up in the attic and trying to burn the place down! .... As smart a looking man as ever we saw on any campus was Bill Wright's son Bill Jr., headed back to Andover last Jan. His fine physique, built up from ranching on the open plains in Nevada and playing football at Andover, gives him that distinction anywhere that model farmer vital AlSibb.ernsen had at reunion—" s that finelooking, handsome man?" the wives whispered to one another Remember when George Sella and Kazmeier of that wonderful Princeton team torpedoed Dartmouth last fall? Well, a few days before, in their University Fund appeal, they said, "We're 6 weeks old now and we should be further along toward that $500,000 and the 65% national participation we look for this year. Why 65%? Well, that's what Dartmouth did last year, with no special effort—been doing it, or close to it for years." We can honestly feel that our most worthwhile and most unselfish gift has been our annual contribution to Dartmouth, to make possible for many deserving boys that enrichment of the soul that we have fortunately enjoyed in going to Dartmouth.
On his 25th reunion questionnaire, appears this comment by Bill Coulson, after the inquiry as to his hobby, "At present alspare time is devoted to work for Dartmouth Parents Committee. I did not attend college. My interest in the welfare of Dartmouth was inspired when adopted by 'lB as an honorary member some 8 years ago. It would have been my class had I matriculated, and to my mind it is the finest class and the greatest college in the country—and I am proud of my affiliations. To show my appreciation for this and what Dartmouth means to me, I hope to continue my efforts in her behalf for many years to come." Bill's sons, Jack 39 and Bill '4O, both lieutenants in the last war, had distinguished service. We here in New York have lost Bill and Miriam and daughter Flo to Washington, for they sold their house in Garden City, where Bill was the one who organized and started the now most virile Long Island Dartmouth Ass'n. He was voted an honorary life membership and next June at the annual meeting will receive the "Tomahawk" for distinguished service. Young Bill and his family were back for the Christmas holidays from South America and the Coulson family had a wonderful reunion Last Nov. in the N. Y. paperwas a picture of the very lovely Priscilla M. Meek, announcing her engagement to ChrisChristy's son Christopher. Chris and Katink went down for a 2-weeks rest and fishing trip on Feb. 22 to Mirro Island near St. Petersburg.
We had the pleasure of talking with FreddieSamuels, who helped save la belle France with Cher Ned Ross, Pete Colwell, George Davis and others and Fred will tell us, we hope, about his interesting months in Japan—son Frederick is only 6 ft 2 in. tall, 190 lbs. and a star basketball and lacrosse player. We sure expect him to play for Dartmouth some day When Eva and BillMontgomery moved to Kansas City 3 years, ago, where .Bill is Genl. Mgr. of Bruce, Dodson and they Have a lovely home, we here in the east lost Ssme wonderful people. Daughter Maria, grad. of Wheaton, is now an airline stewardess—daughter Ferrell went to U. of Rochester, teaching school for the Ist year in Kansas City; Terry, the 3rd daughter, goes to a country day school. Come on East soon, Bill, and let us see you Sibyl and Doc. Ray Barrett were in Hanover last Jan. as well as Harvey Hood who is probably there most of the time. An amazing war record for his whole family. Doc. Ray Barrett boasts of ex-roommates of Bob Fish, Mandy Crothers, Dick White,Clint Carvell, Les Brown and George Daniels. Which ones didn't pay the rent, Ray? .... While we know from many sources, and would have bet even if we hadn't heard, that Amos N. Blandin, Associate Justice of N. H. Supreme Court, did an outstanding job as a speaker in the Great Issues course at Hanover on the subject of "Judicial Protection of Freedom," nevertheless the many in the class who love Alberta and Amos for the wonderful Vermont s;ories he has told at Reunion and would sure love to hear a few more of those stories.
We saw a picture of that handsome Mr. Mahoney (the only gentleman in the class at the Harvard weekend party who would dance with all the girls, said Edith Cooley) showing the smiling Irishman as Past Pres. of the N. Y. Chapter of Amer. Assn. of Newspaper Reps." ....
On their way to a Council Meeting in Hanover, Johnny Cunningham all the way from Denver and Dick White, who had just flown from Mobile to New Orleans, Oklahoma, Kansas City, Des Moines and Chicago, were welcomed by 'lBers at the N. Y. City D. Club, Jan. 19, at which the only local Beta absent was Ty Tyrrel (he and Peggy down at Crystal Apts. in Melbourne, Fla. Those present were Walt Nelson (and everyorie is pleased that he was elevated from Asst. Mortgage officer to a Vice Pres. of the East River Savings Bank), Red Wilson (daughter Judy has been going to summer schools in the past where she's had to do real manual labor; Red is eyeing upper Kent School for. young son Richard, where there are 2 in help in the entire school and the boys have to do all the work themselves) and Dave Skinner (son Dave at Hanover will make almost the same salary for his year on the Aegis). Frank Clahane remarked that he ran the Aegis in our under-grad days without a penny of profit (is that straight, John L. Lewis?). .... Others present were Ned Ross, Harold Gletidenning, DanShea, Lester McElwain, Prodder Rog Howland (with a high of his prodees in attendance), BillCbristgau (looking a bit wan from his escapades two nights before), Paul Miner and Al Street, whom everyone welcomed from New Haven. Two nights before, when Jim Carpenter landed in town on his way to Miami (write him at Good Hotel, 43rd and Corliss Ave., Miami Beach, Fla.) GerryGeran, Bill Christgau and Steve Mahoney met at the Dartmouth Club, which proved to be the beginning of an evening long to be remembered, in which they all went down to Sweets for a 7-course fish dinner and then went into a half dozen hot spots in the Village with palm readings by a pretty fortune teller. And with it all Jim Carpenter, even with all he'd been through, was in as fine shape as the best of them. Dick White is the spokesman for not only the Shade Tree Assn. of America but for the nursery interests and from Dick we learned that the govt, is in the nursery business in practically 48 states, and we can't imagine a more vigorous fighter against such a situation than Dick himself. Dick made a short but potent address at the Christmas luncheon at the Darimouth-Washington Club which was given for under-grads home from college and to their fathers. Dick can do it, t00.....
Many 'lBers phoned in regrets and would have liked to have seen Dick White and Johnny Cunningham. Ones in particular were Howard MacyPark and Stanley Jones. The latter wrote quite a scurrilous note about our beloved Johnny Cunningham, saying too that somebody else would have to buy the drinks for coyote Cunningham (my, he looked healthy, filled with the fresh air from Denver and with that lovely bow tie on) for sending him letters without adequate postage, called up requesting withdrawal of his letter when John, the moment he got to town, called Stanley and invited him out to dinner.
Syl Morey made a flying trip to New Orleans and Texas and maybe Mexico in Jan.
—he gets around.
