1921

Daughter of John and Priscilla Sullivan, Patricia, has married a radio and television expert. She and her husband should have plenty to talk about. After Madeira School and Bennington and graduate courses at Georgetown University, Patricia, a staff member of the Peace Corps at its beginning, rose to become Chief of the North Africa Division, a surprising assignment for a member of the Society of Colonial Dames in New Hampshire and the Washington Junior League. After Ohio State, her husband, Tedson Jay Meyers of Bayonne, N. J., was graduated with highest honors from New York University from which under a Carnegie Fellowship he received an M.A. A graduate of Harvard Law School, President of the King's Bench Society and Founder of the Harvard Student Legislation Research Bureau, he served with the Marine Corps in Korea. After work with the American Broadcasting Company and the Federal Communications Commission where he was Administrative Assistant to the former chairman, Newton Minow, Mr. Meyers became Director of Radio and Television Programs for the Peace Corps.

This note is for the most philoprogenitive in 1921. Who? Why, grandmothers of course. What 1921 grandfather with wrist bracelets wears charms announcing births and names? Our 1921 grandmothers hardly need to refer to the charms, however; they serve as something to rattle in the faces of other grandmothers in 1920 and 1922 who are given too much to boasting about their grandspriglets. Here's the scoop. The son of Walt Prince, Richard Cooper Prince, long believed to be the 1921 CLASS BABY, i.e. born before any other babies to 1921 men, is now challenged. Born Nov. 30, 1921 in Hanover, he may continue to be honored as "The Class Baby" only as being the first arrival to a graduate. The title of "The Class Baby" could be given to the son of Bill Johnson, David Kohn Johnson, born Nov. 24, 1921, in Keene, N, H. Bill, who died Dec. 23, 1964, left Dartmouth at the end of freshman year to enter the armed forces as an instructor in chemical warfare. And another baby was born before Walt Prince's, to Gsiy Wallick, who attended the University of Colorado and Columbia before he entered Tuck School in 1921. An invalid, a victim of cerebral palsy, Alice Jean Wallick, born March 31, 1921 in Beloit, Kan., survived until Nov. 5, 1959.

Here is a bit of news to please NewcNewcomb and Bill Perry, Dan Patch and Neil Forbes, and especially Walter Galvin.Ort Hicks caught up with Howell Manning in Arizona and has a fine color photograph to show how well Arizona and ranching agree with Howell. In college days Howell taught Walter Galvin a lesson which has affected him ever since. A product of Horace Mann School, the Wivem Club, and the Edwah Club, Walter fancied himself as a pool player, took on Howell, and lost everything except his shirt. Walter, who has never gambled since and is perhaps poorer as a result, at any rate has never suffered from hectic gambling fevers. Walter scanned Howell's eyes closely in the photograph, for in student days they were uncanny. Now they are just canny.

Katie has an attractive room in the Medical Center; Lyman an apartment in a neighboring building; and thus they can be together with 24-hour service for Katie.

One would hardly expect that an Arizona clergyman could have much effect on owners of horse farms in Upperville, Va., but listen to this. In Trinity Episcopal Church of Upperville, built with Paul Mellon money, the design a free adaptation of 12th and 13th century French country churches, a visitor recently admired the needlepoint frontal of the Holy Table with symbols explained on a chart discreetly placed at the side. It was the work of Mrs. Colin MacLeod Sr., mother of Sandy MacLeod '38, well known in Virginia and New York as a successful raiser of race horses. Interviewed by the visitor in her home, she attributed her stimulus and knowledge to a beautiful book with illustrations and learned text devoted to Christian symbolism published by the Oxford University Press under Kress Foundation auspices. The author: Rev. George Ferguson of Tucson. His class: 1921. His college: Dartmouth.
