A 3-minute travelogue with Professor Bob Fish—one noon at Madison Av. at 40th St As follows: Me: Hel-lo Bob. What's with you? He: Not a thing that isn't good. Thanks to Phoenix, Arizona. Why—Me: I heard you were in low gear on account of—He: Yea, arthritis. But boy oh boy does that climate fix you up! Wonderful dry air! Here—looka that hand. Flexible as a kid glove. And what a town! Me: You like it, huh? He: LIKE it? Why the hell anyone stays here is more than I can see. Why out there you can live for one quarter—yes, one tenth—of what it costs you here! and live like a king used to live! Swell little town of 41,426 and all swell guys—Honest, you never met such swell people—and talk about SUN. Why—Me: Lots of sun, huh? HE: All day long —every hour on the hour! Makes California and Florida look like a busted sun lamp by comparison. Why look at my tan—take a good look. Ever see anything like it, hey? Me: Well —He: And food! Marvelous food, every meal. Why my little family picked up 164 lbs. between us in our stay. You get an appetite just sitting around in that sun, breathing in that wonderful clean dry air. Why, Phoenix takes at least 20 years off your age. And they've got a dandy university out there—over 20,000 students. Hand picked staff of teachers, too. What a place to live in. What air! what food! what —Me: Sound good—He: Why you never dreamed a place could be so good—lt's got EVERYTHING. Riding, swimming—golf- reading- talking—tennis—wimmen—dancinghunting—breathing—sleeping—Me: Excuse me, Bob, here comes my bus. He: I'll go along with you. Me: But I thought you were heading the other way? He: I was—but that can wait. I want to tell you about Phoenix, Arizona—You never saw such

From Pioneer Hotel, Tucson, Arizona, February 20th Bob Fish says "Being in Arizona has it all over taking any kind of medicine. Mildred and the children join me here next week and I'm looking forward to home instead of hotel life—which can be damned monotonous after several weeks."

JOINT 'l6, 'l7, 'lB DINNER DARTMOUTH CLUB OF N. Y. JAN. 13TH—King Rood was present (daughter Carolyn Junior at Emma Willard at Troy; also has a whale of an athlete now age 8) twitting Freddie Cassebeer about his traffic in vitamins—said Fred "you're out of date already—now the thing is Vitamin B-6." .... It was great to see Harry Collins again, Russel Sprague's right hand man in Nassau County .... a

power in the Seaford, L. I. bank—campaigns nightly around Nassau County. Municipal debt decreased 5 million—County spends 17 million a year—Harry reminisced a bit of the 'lB outing some years back 011 his boat when Syl Morey dove off and stuck his head in the mud, Sproul Ross was thrown overboard and then roped back in again—Wart Mc Elwain was seen chasing Stan Jones with a sabre, etc Harry is now President of the Long Island-Dartmouth Club. Harry tried to loosen GeorgeDockstader from his carpet slippers and come out but without success. Bill Coulson was there acting as counsel for Wart McElwain on betting and who pays for the next Curt Glover was beaming with health and happiness now that their Bridgeport plant which burned down has been rebuilt and anyone wanting carbon paper and ribbons Curt can make deliveries at once George Hull was therefought over some of the old days in the artillery with Walter Ross—said he left his family in Paris in November with a bit of food in the cellar and hopes they have plenty to eat—told of interesting days he spent with Mr. Tack before he died. George is looking around for something to do in N. Y. and said he might be located in Washington—. . . . Steve Mahoney was there—asked if Benny Mugridge was high hatting us by not attending the dinnerprotested the small type used in the MAG when George Hull's letter was publishedhad with him his old pal, newly adopted (and warmly welcomed) 'iBer, Spike Puryear (Colorado and Chicago University). Bill Christgau who nominated Spike to the exclusive 'lB membership was under par and couldn't be present. Every 'iBer who has met Spike is tickled to death to have him one of the Dartmouth rooters

Paul Miner was ribbed severely by Harry Collins for evading the cloth in the Hanover days when attempts were made to convert him Just as well Syl Morey wasn't there, for sailor Jack Storrs was present and protested violently Morey's reference to Jack's conduct in a letter published in a previous issue of the MAG. ("What d'a ya think my own sons think reading that stuff.") Lewis Lee was there and had Jack Storrs in tow—and just dismissed the whole matter by saying "about time the world knew what sort of a guy you are, Storrs." ...Max Spelke 'l7 and Harry Collins sold us heavily on the smart tax man 'lB has in Washington, namely Clarence Opper. Howie Park threatened libel for publishing a picture in the last ALUMNI MAG of skipper Howard Macy .... then Howie was threatening Harry Collins about something, whereupon Harry confessed if it hadn't been for Howie Parks notes in a 3 day cram test at Columbia, Harry never would have passed his Bar exam (Harry, the Copier, got better marks than Howie, the grind). . . . 'Twas reported that MelSouthwick was about town Bill Wales was there—looks fine again; had a swell newspaper picture of one of his daughters at Carnival (invited by a chap Bill had directed to Hanover) Eddie Butts was there, back from Florida, and was being approached by some of the Washington diplomats for better relations with South America, to let them in on all Eduardo knows about Peru and Uruguay when he was king there Chet Hulbert was in town but wasn't present at the dinner—reported that Hort Kennedy was quite ill in Paris (how ya doing now, Hort? We hope better). We approached newly appointed Judge Frederic Runyon Colie with congratulations "we see by the papers you've moved to the top rung in politics"—to which the Judge replied "hell, I've never been in politics—get that straight.".... Pups (famous coiner of 'noisettes a toi') had been all day in Trenton and everyone was delighted to see him at the dinner. 'Tis reported that he and Mrs. Colie can be seen most any Wednesday night cutting capers on their skates at the Madison Square rink.

Sad to relate another 'iBer has left us, William D. Byron. The more one reads of his astonishing career (see Necrology) as Representative in Congress the more certain it seems that Bill was destined for even greater honor and glory. Perhaps some in the class who knew Bill particularly well could write us something about his early days in Hanover.

DICK HOLTON 1918's MAN FOR '41 Yes, the virile skier, banker and bond man(Comptroller East New York Savings Bank,Brooklyn, N. Y.) has offered to pilot '18destinies in the Alumni Fund campaignfor 1941—now starting—with Harvey Hood,ace pilot for the college. Edith (Mrs. Holton) and Mary Louise, age 10, bid good-byeto Dick every Tuesday night for his coursewhich he conducts at the American Inistitute of Banking. Following, as Dick does,such able leadership in previous years of AMOS BLANDIN, KING ROOD, FRANK CLAHANE, BOB FISH and RED WILSON, we feel sure theother helpers of recent years and the '18class to a man will rally around Dick in aneffort, as honor to Harvey Hood's leadership, to push all other classes off the toprung of the ladder. Heave-ho shoulders tothe wheel! Talking with Dick Holton today he said "Guess everyone we ask willgladly help and if not asked to serve on acommittee at least each one can be a selfappointed committee of one to help thecause—and in the next issue the names ofDick's assistants will be shown.
