The sad loss of our esteemed classmate Jack Strauss is reported in In Memoriam.

With twelve classmates present, the Alumni Fund Kick-off Dinner on March 24 in Boston was a notable occasion for Twoters. Jack Dodd, Chairman of the Alumni Fund Committee, and President John Dickey gave the major speeches. Bill Bullen, President of the Dartmouth Alumni Association of Boston, presided and closed the meeting with some thought-provoking remarks. Classmates present included Carter Hoyt, Head Class Agent, and assistants Mike Adams, Ray Atwood, Carroll Dwight, Fran Leland, Bill Mann, Len Morrissey, Joe Perkins, Fred Vogel and Ray Wason.

"Though round the girdled earth...." Twoters appear frequently in the latest list of Dartmouth Alumni Officers. The class is proud to claim Jack Dodd as a member of the Dartmouth Alumni Council and Chairman of the Alumni Fund Committee; Wally Mountcastle as a member of the Alumni Council on the Committee on Enrollment and Admissions and as secretary of the Dartmouth Club of Greater Miami; Bill Bullen as our Class Chairman and vice president of the Class Chairmen and Presidents Association; Carroll Dwight, Class Treasurer; Carter Hoyt, Head Class Agent; Steve Kenyon, Newsletter Editor and Gene Hotchkiss, Bequest Chairman. Frank Hutchins serves on the Advisory Board of the DARTMOUTH ALUMNI MAGAZINE. The alumni club list starting with Stan Miner as President of the Alumni Club Association shows many classmates active in regional activities. Serving as alumni club presidents are Don Tobin, Dartmouth Alumni Association of North Texas; and Don Donavanik, Dartmouth Club of Thailand. Serving as alumni club secretaries are Hal Clark, Dartmouth Club of Holyoke; Bob Dewey, Dartmouth Club of Rio de Janeiro; Dick Litchfield, Charles River Dartmouth Club; and Russ Putney, Cheshire County Dartmouth Alumni Association. And gladly we see class sons Edward J. Spiegel '53 as Head Class Agent and Llewellyn Boyd '50 as secretary of the Dartmouth Club of Chattanooga.

As classmates would expect, Jack Taylor looked very alert and cheerful when his picture appeared in "Printer's Ink" a while back. He was shown as the author of an accompanying and interesting article, "The Sale I Never Forgot." The footnote said that John L. Taylor, executive vice-president, Edwards Co., Norwalk, Conn., manufacturers of signaling and communications equipment, started his career as a sales trainee with the Norwalk Tire and Rubber Co. after graduating from Dartmouth in 1922. Two years later he joined Edwards in a home office capacity and in 1925 was assigned to the New York sales territory. He was promoted to regional manager of thirteen states in 1940, general sales manager in 1950 and vice-president of marketing in 1954. He is active in the National Electric Manufacturers Association and is a board member of one of its major divisions. Mighty good to hear of you, Jack, and to see you looking so well.

Frederick W. Vogel is a particularly busy and highly esteemed man in the Green Mountain State. He is president of the Mountain Paper Products Corp. of Bellows Falls, the parent organization of several other Vermont paper concerns. He is also past district governor of the Rotary Clubs of Vermont and New Hampshire. And he has now been called by the governor of Vermont to serve on the first Vermont Racing Commission. Fred's nomination has been confirmed by the senate and he will serve for four years. The Racing Commission will set up rules and regulations and serve as licensing agent for pari-mutuel racing in the state.

Charles S. Tapley gave a series of ten evening lectures during the winter at the Peabody Institute Library, Danvers, Mass. His subject was "The History of Old Danvers, its Houses and its Inhabitants." Noted as an authority on the history of his hometown, Charlie has written several books about its early days including "The Old Danvers State House," "Rebecca Nourse," and "Saint but Witch Victim."

An undergraduate from The Dartmouth covering a lecture by Prof. Herb West to the Dartmouth Christian Union reports in part: "Mr. West is concerned with the growing insensitivity of American youth to the 'inner voice.' He feels that the rise of pragmatism has reoriented our systems of values so that we are more concerned with the expediency of our actions than with any standard of right and wrong." The class elders thank Herb for saying that and add a sincere amen.

When Thomas J. Byrne announced his candidacy for reelection to the School Board of Windsor, Vt., the Vermont Journal gave some interesting facts all Twoters ought to know: "Mr. Byrne was born at Marlboro, Mass., and is a graduate of Marlboro High School and Dartmouth College. He also received his Master of Education degree from Harvard University. He is a past president of the Windsor Rotary Club, a member of the American Legion and several educational organizations. He has spent forty years in educational work as teacher, coach and in administration." Can't help wishing all members of school boards had equal qualifications, Tom.

Bean and cod-eating Twoters are delighted to see Ray Atwood looking and feeling so well after his mid-winter hospitalization. About the time this good news sees daylight Ray and wife Doris will be preparing to attend the graduation of daughter Judy at Elmira College. Along with many other campus activities, Judy was her class secretary. Take it from an old grandfather, Judy, that's an experience one never forgets.
