1918

The charming picture of our golfing Class Agent and his buddy, Stan, came from RedWilson. We wish to thank Red for supplying such a rare jog to our memories.

The replies that Ernie Earley is receiving from classmates whom he has asked to help out on the Alumni Fund solicitation this year are so impressive that it is obvious we have picked the right fella to succeed DickHolton. We are sure that the class will respond with their donations in the same manner as those who have been asked to work are responding.

We have read a recent letter from TomBryant offering the help with the Alumni Fund drive. His letter goes on to say that his son, Clark, will finish Temple Medical School this year and then will go to Williamsport, Penna., for his internship before he goes into the Army for two years. He is pleased that Clark has decided to go into general practice where he can be of service to family life rather than specializing. Tom's daughter, Patty, had another daughter bom in December making a total of four grandchildren. He finishes by saying, "I only wish every father had as fine a son and daughter as I have been blessed to have."

Rear Admiral Paul Mather, Retired, is out of the hospital (dry dock to him) and is fully recovered. He hopes to be traveling soon again as he has promised Ernie Earley that he will come to New York sometime in the near future.

William R. Chrisgau, Chris to us, was killed on Friday, April 28, by a bus on 23rd Street, New York City. Chris had been to dinner with his son, Bill, and was on his way to a Masonic meeting. Masonic services were held on Tuesday, May 2, at the Waldecks Funeral Home in Brooklyn. Church services were held at 10 a.m. on May 3 at the Church of the Holy Spirit in Brooklyn.

Every classmate knows that Chris' greatest love after his family was Dartmouth. After that came the Class of 1918. His great concern the last few years was that the class stay closely knit and take advantage of every opportunity possible to promote its "esprit de corps." We are sure that he had a similar interest in the DeWitt Clinton High School, where he was president of the Alumni Association and his Masonic Lodge where he had given many years of devoted service. We believe that Chris had the unique distinction of knowing everyone in the class well and in turn being known not only by our classmates, but by their wives and children. One couldn't generate the enthusiasm for Dartmouth and the class that Chris had without having it rub off on anyone with whom he came in contact.

George Hull passed away on April 25, 1961 after a short illness at Doctors Hospital in Washington, D. C. His funeral services were held at the Fort Myer Chapel on Friday, April 28.

When George returned to the United States after his long residence in France, he was associated with the War Production Board. In 1947, he joined the French Purchasing Mission of the Marshall Plan. At the time of his death, George was a member of the Real Estate Board of Washington, the Dartmouth Alumni Club, the University Club and the Congressional Country Club.

Allan J. Zabriskie, Zip to us, passed away on March 28. After college, he settled on a farm in Campbell Hall, N. Y., which he operated very successfully until his decease. He was recognized throughout Orange County for his vast knowledge of county affairs. He was re-elected Chairman of the Board of Supervisors fifteen times, which is a record.

Three of our respected classmates passing on in one month is indeed a shock. It should make us all appreciate the privilege that we have been granted to live on with the opportunity to still produce many constructive accomplishments for our communities and our families.

We are sure that all will be pleased to know that Walt Nelson was recently elected vice president of the East River Savings Bank.

We recently heard from Bob Fish. He and Mildred are planning a trip around the end of May. We hope you come East, Bob!

The Curt Glovers have recently returned from their trip around the world. We understand that they had many happy experiences, some of which were unusual. We hope Curt will take a few minutes and drop us a line about his trip so that the class may have a chance to enjoy some of the high spots of their trip.

Although Stan Jones is supposed to be retired his business associations linger on. We understand that one of his former clients gives him a Christmas party every year. We recently saw a letter from Sig Larmon '14 in which he said, "We miss Stan Jones no end. He has a particularly rare and unique sense of humor that is invaluable in any organization." We understand that Stan has become a grandpa again. His old cronies in the advertising agencies frequently invite him for lunch. He plays billiards at the University Club, where we understand he still trims Ernie Earley pretty regularly. Dave Skinner now lives at the University Club and is an occasional advisor to these billiard games between Ernie and Stan.

Louie Huntoon reports that Shorty Alden has gone back into Che Veterans Hospital in Providence, R. I. We are not sure if he is still there. Why don't you drop him a line anyway addressed to his home address, which is 8 Forest Street, Middleboro, Mass.

Howie and Ann Park have had their boat in the Caribbean this year. Howie is said to have remarked that "so many of our classmates are retiring I thought I had better join up and do the same."

Johnnie and Isabel Simmons have bought a house at 338 Brookline Avenue, Daytona Beach, Fla., which isn't far from Peggy Tyrrel's home at 2820 Ridge Road in Daytona Beach.

Homer Lininger must hold the record for the class! He has been around the world three times in the past five years.

Red Hulbert's son, Dick '51, is a mainstay of the Squash Racket Team of the Dartmouth Club and is doing a fine job of systematizing and organizing the departments at the Chemical Bank-New York Trust Company.

We understand that Gerry Geran is up at 5:30 a.m. and heads downtown to work while Frances Geran, who works for the telephone company, leaves at about the same time to go uptown to her job.

We recently saw a letter from George and Helen Carpenter written from the Drake Hotel in Chicago from which we quote in part. "We have not been in New York for a number of years as we have been going the other way." George III is sales manager of a television station in Cedar Rapids, lowa. He makes frequent trips as he is a feature writer for the Hearst papers in San Francisco. George's daughter, Sally, is married to a lawyer in Des Moines who has recently had a case before the Supreme Court. Sally has two boys and George III has a boy and a girl. George reports that he is running several farms with thousands of hogs and some cattle and is still cursing Benson. They promise they will return to Hanover for the 1964 Class Reunion.

The Manchester Union Leader carried a very complimentary article about Hubie McDonough in their April 13 issue. At a recent meeting of the executive board of the Athletic Coaches Association of N. H., preliminary plans were made to honor five retired coaches. Hubie is one of the five singled out for this special honor.

Dwight Sergeant has just been made a director of the Westchester Council of Social Agencies. His appointment was announced in the Mt. Vernon, N. Y. Argus in early March. Dwight is still the personnel director of the Consolidated Edison Company of New York, with which he has been associated since 1922. He is an expert on pension and retirement systems. Dwight is a director of the National Council on Aging, president of the directors of Dobbs Ferry Hospital and recently was chairman of the Employment Security and Retirement Committee for the 1961 White House Conference on Aging. We are proud to have a member of our class become so prominent in so many worth-while local and national activities.

The class is planning to have its usual reunion at the first football game in Hanover, which will be held on September 30. Please plan to be there if you possibly can.

Changes-of-address since the last issue are as follows: Oscar W. Bilharz, 1561 Asbury Avenue, Winnetka, Ill.; Edward T. Garvey, Avenida Madero #439, Chapala, Jalisco, Mexico; Roger L. Howland, 71 Livingston Street, Rhinebeck, N. Y.; T. Reed Montgomery, Box 417, Saconesset Hills, Falmouth, Mass.; John E. O'Gara, West Creek Farms Road, Sands Point, Port Washington, L. I., N. Y.

This belated picture, lost in the mail for decades, shows Ernie Earley, 1918's new Class Agent, with his golfing buddy, Stan Jones '18. Their friendship has lasted.
