Class of 1923

you bring $6.80 for each day for two and a half days, you will be able to pay all of your expenses for the entire Reunion week-end, including many, many glasses of beer.

There is not much use writing biographies in this issue. The best biographies will be available in Hanover beginning the 17th of June, and there will be about 160 of them. It may be news that Cap Palmer is writing scenarios for moving picture companies in Hollywood, but it will be better to see him in Hanover and get the dope on the facts about Hollywood which are not in the scenarios.

It may also be news that George McKee, former golf champion, is an attorney and counselor-at-law, located at 38 State St., Montpelier, Vt. It will be more interesting, however, to hear him recite how he captured the dog which was awarded first prize by Mayor Flanagan at the dog show during Old Timers Day.

Fifteen years ago this month the class of 1923 became alumni of Dartmouth College. They had completed a four-year course of study, some with great success, many with moderate success, and a few-we'll skip it. During the last five years there have been 1923 class notes in every issue of the ALUMNI MAGAZINE. The first year following 10th Reunion, rather complete biographies were written, usually consuming the entire amount of space althose activities were important, but secondary to the serious business of obtaining what the college had particularly to offer, namely an academic education. It seems appropriate, therefore, to list the names of the men who succeeded particularly well with the special business to which four years had been devoted.

The three men who graduated with the highest average were—Joseph P. Zone, James R. Townsend, Lewis H. Ross.

Those who graduated Summa Cum Laude—Howard B. Brown, George C. Crump, Harold S. Fitz, Arthur E. Gordon Jr., Reinhold F. Hertzberg, Lewis H. Ross, James R. Townsend, Joseph P. Zone.

Those who graduated Magna Cum Laude—Edwin D. Crowley, Antonio J. F. Cuffari, Randolph C. Downes, William L. Eager, William J. Gratz, Walter L. Jones, Donald B. King, Solomon C. Levine, Robert E. Maxwell, John Molla, James D. Pope, Conrad F. Rebman, Colin C. Stewart Jr., Winthrop Wadleigh, Ellsworth S. Weed, Philip C. Weinseimer Jr.

Those who graduated Cum Laude— Harold A. Baker, Harold D. Baker Jr., Philip G. Bowker, Roy H. Burgess, Henry M. Cutler, Frederick A. Davis, Franklin F. Doten, George MacF. Fuller ton, George D. Goodyear Jr., Frederick S. Knight, Karl W. Lundberg, Everett S. Lyon, George H.

The next thing to do after reading this column is to start packing your suitcase or knapsack, whichever is most convenient, and get ready to leave for Hanover. If there is any doubt in your mind as to whether or not the class of '23 is really going to have a Reunion, just review the first mailing piece you received announcing that a circus was coming to town, and then look over the list of men who have already signed up. That information should have reached you last week.

lotted for notes, about eight or nine men who seem to have distinguished themselves during their ten years out of college. During the next year the class notes were written in the manner of "Who's Who," and during the course of that year short biographies were written giving brief details of about 100 men. During the last three years the notes were written in the usual form with a section at the end entitled "15 Years Ago This Month."

Mason, Richard H. Montague, Thomas L. Norton, Elmer I. Phillips Jr., Clinton S. Raynor, Julius A. Rippel, Paul J. Soley, Edgar P. Stocker, Philip K. Swartz, Winfield L. Temple, Winthrop A. Travell, Lewis W. Woodruff.

The three youngest men to graduate were—Elijah H. Allen Jr., Donald B. King, Alson P. Taylor.

Those who attended the 10th Reunion IN 1933 know what can be done if necessary in a depression year. Whether or not this is a depression year, we have fixed 'he tax at a figure low enough to be within reach of everyone. Fact is, that if During the past months there has been printed herein the names of men on the football, baseball, track, hockey, basketball, and other athletic teams. The names of class officers, Palaeopitus, managers of non-athletic activities, carnival and prom committees, have also appeared. All of It is interesting to note that the second youngest man to graduate, Don King, was in the Magna Cum Laude group, a Phi Beta Kappa, and was also awarded the Haseltine prize in chemistry and the Read prize in descriptive geometry.

The Barge gold medal was awarded to James M. Griffin.

Woodbury law scholarships were awarded to George H. Mason and Joseph P. Zone.

The Grimes general improvement prize was awarded to Edward B. Hopkins.

The Kenneth Archibald prize for athletics was awarded to Lloyd K. Neidlinger.

Not to forget entirely, however, about extracurricular activities, it should be mentioned that Roy Brown was captain of the track team and the only world's titleholder in 1922 to retain his title at the intercollegiates in 1923. Frank Doten was manager of the track team, and others who made letters were K. L. Chun, Jack Lee, E. D. Pope, Sammy Sammis, Sumner Sollitt, Swede Swenson, Shunt Turnbull, and Jim Young.

There was also a chariot race on the campus one evening in June, which was started by Jim Taylor firing a double barreled shotgun. The prize was awarded to Halsey Mills, who was not only the winner of the race, but the only one to finish. If you don't remember, the chariots consisted of soap boxes nailed on skis to which a horse was attached. Attached is the word.

A few days later there was a class barbecue, and if you are in Hanover on the 17th of June you will again see moving pictures of both of these events.

The 15th Reunion will bring to an end the term of office of this Secretary and the Executive Committee. In saying that it has been a pleasure to write the class notes and to hear directly from so many old friends is putting it mildly. The Executive Committee has been ready and willing to serve the class whenever the request has been made, and I know that I speak for the whole group when I say that we all wish the new officers of the class, who will be elected at the Reunion, every success in administering the affairs of one of the best classes that ever went to Dartmouth College.

So long for now. See you all in June.

Secretary, 136 Liberty St., New York
