1918*

HARVEY HOOD THE 1918 JIM FARLEYHarvey is Chairman of the entire Alumni Fund campaign for the College next spring —'18ers may well feel proud of Harvey's leadership and rightly '18 is justified in such leadership for with the glorious stimulation and untiring labors of Red Wilson, '18 this year was the sth class out of 64 classes in dollar contributions to the College. Someone said "it is one of the most lasting compensations of this life, that no man can sincerely try to help another without helping himself." If that is true, then Red Wilson is one of the most "helped" '18ers in the year 1940 for no one ever gave of his time more freely, with more hours of toil and more genuine enjoyment than did Red Wilson, 808 FISH whom we are happy to report is looking fine and healthy and has never been other than his "QuickLunch" dynamic self at any time (a peeping Tom is he, having moved in from Westchester to New York across the park and warned us to pull our shades at night) has this to say in a recent note—"l want none of the credit which Red so richly earned. He deserves 100% of the acclaim, though naturally there were many of our classmates who assisted this year as they have in every year before. Bob Fish, however, was not included in that number—my contribution being so slight as to make any mention of me in the annual report a mockery and masquerade."

HARVEY HOOD THROWS A PARTY—it's after the Harvard game in Cambridge Oct. 26th says Al Gottschaldt—"that'll be a swell week-end—and '18 gathering the night before at the University Club. Last year Eddie Ferguson made it a "mixed" gathering —I belong to the group that votes for stag —Harvey Hood as you know is the "works" next year for the Alumni Fund. A big job but he'll do it to the Queen's taste."

THE LARDER WILL NEVER BE BARE—THANKS TO THE EVER LOYAL NEWS-GETTERS—EDDIE FERGUSON, AL RICE, AL GOTTSCHALDT, BILL COI.BY, JOHN CUNNINGHAM and JAKE BINGHAM who never fail around the first of each month to syphon in the local news of 'iBers, and in a recent letter from Jake he says "isn't it great that '18 did so well with the Alumni Fund—we, 1 think, thought of our class with an apology altogether too long. It is up front and can stay there—TOM STURGES, I hear, composes music occasionally—Mrs. George (Fat) Rowell's picture was in the Boston Herald in July with a group of Republican women." MARY STOD- DARD and GEORGE (the Killer) have staged a rapid comeback after getting "off-center" returning from Havana on the Kungsholm —George (dripless De Laval mixer of drinks) has dug out from under the eaves of his house the old typewriter and is about to author a rollicking serial in a West Coast yachting mag—illustrated by George's own cartoons of Navy days .... from BUB FROST, who's coming back strong at Hanover, after a spell last spring at Dick's House, "more than one student appears at Dick's House the day of mid-year exams or other similar pressing engagements but Doctor Kingsford is still as keen diagnosing their cases as he was in our day."

JO FLO DUKE QUITS MARCH OF TIME FOR THE MARCH FOR HITLER It's Major Duke, now, if you please, for on Sept. 14th Time's Adv. Mgr. joined the army aviation and his many admirers of Life and Time and Fortune presented him with inscribed gold oak leaves for his shoulder rank; and hidden secretly behind his desk was a huge photograph of his sales associates which must be seen to be thoroughly appreciated, and resembled a nudist camp at their morning vespers Doc ROLFE SYVERTSEN (Sec'y. D. Medical School) launched his boat in Maine again this summer BUB FROST offers a unique suggestion that those who can, contribute an extra $10 to the college to help boys from rural areas in New England and elsewhere who find it difficult to meet the expenses of present day Dartmouth DWIGHT SARGENT spent a week motoring through Virginia this summer—loitering, relaxing, following moods Miss Elizabeth Ann Martin became Mrs. David E. McCoy on June 8 that home after Sept. Ist, 5015 Macomb St., Washington, D. C from CLIFF MEREDITH "I'm still Daily-Mirroring it at strange hours and don't see many D men"—from GEORGE M. DAVIS JR.—"was elected to the Presidency of the Board of Education for the 7th time—getting to be a perennial habit—my daughter has made the 1942 Golf Team at Smith—PETE COLWELL, more full of pep than ever—his son was accepted for freshman class at Hanover this fall."

.... HOMER (Swede) BENNETT (applied Research Dept. Standard Brands) myself and GEORGE STODDARD spent a pleasant evening together this summer RED and Peg WILSON have been giving acreage in Conn, a lot of time this summer, and particularly a 75-acre farm along the Housatonic with big elms around the old homestead.

BRITISH ISLES MAY STARVE BUT NOT DAVEAND ELIZABETH SKINNER—As Wall St.'s handsome banker leaves his 6-acre Rye estate each morning there follows first a white China goose, then the frantic, fighting, Toulouse geese, then the Dachshunds, the Terriers, pony, the pigeons and the chickens—Dave farmed out the pony to a neighbor—found his children followed the pony and never came home, so the pony and children were all returned to Squire Skinner's acreagesays Dave "if it's.a tough winter, we can eat the geese, pony and the others in order." Dave was one of many loyal workers with Dick Holton who helped Red Wilson considerably on the Alumni Fund Drive, in addition to which Dave assisted in four other charity drives .... from ED SHAW"some years ago I was active in the Veterans of Foreign Wars as Judge-Advocate but after two years in the State Dept. it took too much time. Later I got into the yacht club and wound up as Commodore. Although I was at Hanover less than one year, I still have recollections which I cherish. I shall never forget the friction burn I got during Delta Alpha on the top floor of Mass. when I was ordered to wrestle some big brute who threw me at once, and I was fool enuf to squirm. I can recall be. ing hauled up before the Dean who wasj great man. I was caught while strip poker. As if he needed to ask me what the game was, but it was he, who, when] was back to get my belongings, offered'' every cooperation if I should decide to return. Ray Baldes and myself were together at B. U. law—where he is now law professor." PETE TARBELL (Una Welding Inc, Cleveland, Ohio) says "HOWIE EGAN LOST; his wife about a year ago—a very, verv charming person, and a swell sport. She left very suddenly and we all regretted her passing. Howie has two small children, both girls, and I understand his mother is taking care of them."

ALLEN GLENDENNING has topped the oldman, in fact everybody, by being the first one to attain A in every subject in the famous Lincoln School in N. Y.—in addition to being a trombone player and in the college orchestra, conducts a column in the school paper .... from EDDIE FERGUSON (another great helper with Jake Bingham and Al Gottschaldt on the Alumni Fund) "son Ben enjoyed taking in the hockey game at Hanover this winter—now if he will only study a bit—of course, his old man was no great shakes as a student but you don't have to mention it to him if you see himif LEW COUSENS gets sassy, tell him you're going to let Helen know that he is imbibing in too many rum punches—that will keep him quiet."

Harvey Hood: "Jones and Pounds quiet please." Dean Bill: "One of those birds I finally passed in Math, otherwise he'd be in college today."
