1922
Dr. Egon Kattwinkel's death in March sadly shocked Boston classmates. His distinguished career is reported more fully in In Memoriam in this or a subsequent issue.
The Class also offers its deepest sympathy to Dr. Ed Pullen whose wife Joan passed away in February.
John D. Dodd, Trustee of the College and Chairman in 1961 and '62 of the first two Alumni Fund Campaigns to exceed a million dollars annually, concluded a 42-year career with the Bell System in April when he retired from his position as vice president of the New York Telephone Company. Jack began his career and his first managerial responsibilities in the traffic department. He later gained interdepartmental experience through successive managerial assignments in the directory, commercial and engineering departments. He then transferred to the American Telephone and Telegraph Company where he worked for four years directing engineering projects. He returned in 1945 to the New York Company as General Commercial Manager of Manhattan, Bronx, and Westchester. Following subsequent promotion to assistant vice president, in 1955 he became vice president in charge of all operations in Manhattan, Bronx, and Westchester. Including genuine dedication to Dartmouth, Jack has a multitude of interests to make senior citizenship active and happy. All classmates - indeed all alumni - extend best wishes to Jack and his good wife Fran that the best years are here for them to enjoy.
From cherished files of daily Dartmouths, our class Aegis and similar treasures, DickLitchfield has brought back these nostalgic memories of '22 in our junior year at Hanover.
"We're in the 'roaring twenties' — it's Tuesday, January 4, 1921, and a group of Dartmouth Indians returning from the Christmas recess wander restlessly from one ancient B & M coach to another as the Iron Horse puffs and grinds its way toward White River. The conversation in each coach is the same - the smashing 27-7 intersectional victory of the Big Green over the University of Washington at Seattle. Twoters were proud of their classmates George Moore, Billy Streng and Phil Threshie who had played so well in that victory and had brought wide grins to coach 'Fat' Spears.
"Back in Hanover ... frosty slides across the campus to get to chapel before doors close at 7:47 ... the patience and understanding of profs such as Childs, Mathewson, Roule, Greene, Lambuth, Page, Rich-ardson, Scarlett, Anderson, Foster, Griggs, Chivers, Lingley, Keir and other stalwarts trying and generally succeeding in keeping us awake at early morning classes ... Allen's Drug store offering jiggers, Fatimas, and pipes with class numerals ... George Rand purveying mission, Flemish and early American furniture ... the Nugget claiming 'exclusive motion pictures ... freezing fingers and toes as we watch the Green ice Mass Aggies 3-2 on the alumni field outdoor rink ... a plunge of nearly 75 feet isn't enough to keep the Green duckmen from losing the first meet in the new Spaulding pool to Springfield 28-25 ... the mercury dips way below zero ... good skating at Occom pond ... hikes to Norwich and waffles at the Candle Glow ... January is going out and mid-years are coming in ... the gym seems cold and uninviting as we struggle through each two-hour exam ... the administration announces a hike in tuition from $200 to $250 and it's a rare bargain, even in those days.
"Second semester starts and soon it's Carnival time ... it snows some more of course ... the Carnival show is 'Rise, Please' - book and lyrics by our own Kip Orr and stellar performances by Rog Bird, HarveyZuckerman and Howie Noyes ... dances in the Little Theatre in Robinson ... Japanese lanterns blend with northern pines to transform the old gym floor into a paradise for the fancy-costume Carnival ball with music by Leo Reisman and his Egyptian Room orchestra. Dartmouth swamps Harvard 51-15 at basketball, then we go to Webster for the musical and glee club concert. ... Sands, Woodward, Smith, Younglove, Griffin, Bartlett, Bristol, Hamilton, and Kenyon all in good voice ... the musicians have Booth,Hanlon and Shoup picking mandolins, JimMaze strumming a guitar, Gordie Plumb keying the saxophone and Had Pinney making sweet notes on the clarinet... Carnival's over and back to the books we go.
"Washington's birthday with classes as usual. ... Coach Zahn guides the basketball squad to its most successful season in years. ... '22 is represented by Gubby McDermott, Cliff Akey, George Moore and Tom Tracey. ... Camera Club moves ahead with Maze, Campbell, Gallagher and yours truly clicking shutters and haunting the dark room. ... Fred Vogel and Harry Liao plot moves for the Chess Club. ... Hatch, Clarke, Auger, and Leith spearhead 'Le Circle Francais'. ... Carmody, Cohn, Troyer Anderson, Brooks, and Pinney bulwark the Forensic Union . . . Almy, Richart and Haas delight in Shaw's Androcles and the Lion' ... and so the winter ebbs.
"March blusters out and the long awaited peerade starts south for spring recess ... vacation highlights include Ann Pennington in 'Scandals of 1920' and a Dartmouth Dance in Boston with the Barbary Coast... the duck boards are down when we get back to Hanover ... spring sports delayed by heavy rains. ... Miner, Tracey and Kopf strengthen the varsity baseball nine. ... 'Jeff' Tesreau's charges play fifteen games in the merry month of May. ... Our class baseball team - Rowe, Dodd, Sullivan, Byrne, Hamilton, Kopf, Blake, McNamara, and Murphy - wins the championship. ... Sanders wields a fast racquet and reaches the intercollegiate tennis finals at Longwood. ... 'Jacko' brings chuckles with Jib Sawyer's excellent art work - Barnard and Ranney contribute priceless prose and Earle, Griswold, Healy and Livermore tend to business and advertising chores ... prom committee of Booth, Blunt, Hopkins, Kilmarx, and Orth import Walter Johnson's band for the Prom Ball. ... Dartmouth takes Columbia 4-3 but Penn upends us on the diamond ... the three-day social whirl is over and to our regret the gals head back to Smith, Wellesley, Holyoke, Connecticut, and Vassar.
" 'Give a rouse, then, in the Maytime' ... concerts on the lawn of the Beta house ... hums on the campus ... the Nugget offers Pola Negri in 'Passion' ... the crush is terrific ... the battle of peanuts and the uninhibited wisecracks at the movies are better than any show. ... The Aegis comes out - a fine job by Horan, Vos Burgh, Perry, Sawyer, Gaylord Anderson, Gove, Johnson and Maze. ... Memorial Day is a holiday ... hiking in the New Hampshire hills and swimming in the ponds, then back to the grind again ... feverish preparations and mid-night oil because finals are but a few days away ... our junior year is drawing to a close with the sudden realization for most of us that we have only one year left on Hanover Plain ... once again the Wah Hoo Wahs for the profs ring out in the halls and soon in bright June sunlight we are trekking down to Alumni gym for finals ... it's mid June and we are packing to go our separate ways ... what a year we had ... and now summer jobs are ahead."
And that's the way it was when we were merry juniors. Thanks, Dick, for bringing that happy year back to us.
