1927*
Well, we made that trip to Hanover to deliver our copy for the last issue of the MAGAZINE, and, incidentally, saw the Colgate game. A good one to watch even though Dartmouth did lose. Hanover and the surrounding country were beautiful in their coating of fall colors. Although there were not the usual number of returning alumni, the many Navy officers and wives made the town appear full to overflowing. Russ Blanchard and Bob Page were the only members of our class that Sykes and I saw.
Due to tire and gas rationing, no class party was planned for the weekend of the Harvard game. A few scattered reunions were held, however. The Alumni Council meeting brought Bill Abbott and his bride on from Chicago. The lieutenant was on his way to Quonset, R. 1., where he reported Tuesday after the game for an eight weeks' training course. Dean and Iris Askew also came up from New Canaan for the weekend. The Gardners, Fowlers. Hardys, Askews, Abbotts and your scribe met for lunch at the Puritan before the game. Seth Besse was the only other '27er we saw at the game.
About two weeks ago Phil Fowler enlisted as a private in the Air Corps, and is now taking basic training in Wilmington, Delaware.
Spent the weekend of the Yale game at Ken Ballantyne's home in Riverside, Conn. At the game we saw Jesse Miller, Red Cleaveland and Rog Bury. Ken has signed up in the Coast Guard Temporary Reserve and with the rank of Bos'un's Mate spends some ninety hours a month in command of a patrol boat.
