Class of 1917

With the new year well under way every member of the class must turn his attention towards two important questions: namely, the 1934 Alumni Fund and the Active Class Membership. As you all know, the number of contributors from our class to the Fund has been consistently low, and this year we must all work with determination to change this situation.

This also holds true with the active class membership. Our eminent president, Slats Baxter, has expressed himself to me most emphatically about the disappointing showing made last year. He pointed out several important features; for instance, that it "seems inconceivable that any member of the class could really be unable togive .0157 cents a day to support the classactivities." Remember that it costs but $5.00 a year to join the active group, for which you are given one year's subscription to the ALUMNI MAGAZINE, all copies of the Sentry, and an accumulative 10% reduction in the reunion tax for each year of active membership. If properly supported this would assure us of a very inexpensive reunion in 1937.

Slats added a little personal information, saying that Governor Ely had recently reappointed him medical examiner for the South Plymouth District for a seven-year term; also that Jack Saladine had been a recent visitor to Marion, with the pertinent comment that "Jack is on a port winediet for some reason or other and seemedto be thriving." In closing he suggested a good class slogan for the 20th Reunion"Balance the class budget, and balance thestein in 1937"

Thanks to a clipping from A 1 Gottschaldt '18, we learn that Hen Sturgess, former president of the Dartmouth Club of Georgia, has been appointed district manager of the state of Georgia for the National Realty Management Company, Inc From Junkins '14 came a most interesting picture of Dr. Marshall Davison which I am very sorry not to be able to reproduce for you. It is a very good likeness of Red, white cap, gown, and everything, in the Operating Theater of the Cook County Hospital in Chicago, performing a very difficult operation for the edification of the clinic well filled with distinguished surgeons Sid Hayward's Hanover Bulletin recently published a challenge from the Dartmouth contract bridge team (one of whom is none other than Willis F.
