1926*
Two recent and successful alumni association dinners, one in Boston and one in New York, were well attended by '26ers. At the Boston dinner were Bob Patten, Al Morris, George Peirce, Jim Sullivan, Ran Cox, Bill Hughes, Walt Rankin, Sid Hayward and Bob Salinger. Mac McDavitt, unable to be there, was elected vice president of the Boston Alumni Association. At the New York party the 1926 table wasn't large enough to accommodate the turnout. Present were Ed Hanlon, Larry Wolff, Bill Viall, Dick Mandel, Chuck Webster, Fred Hurd, Harold Van Duyn, Ed Simmons, Frank Healy, Win Nicker- son, Charlie Bishop, Snipe Esquerre, Bob Stopford, Lloyd Sanford, Bob Lowe, George Champion (a member of the dinner committee), Bob Cleary and Sew Mills.
Mills was recognized and welcomed despite some momentary confusion arising from the deepest southern accent heard this side of the Mason and Dixon line. He's a cotton planter in Glendora, Miss. He and Donna were enjoying a brief vacation between seasons. Perhaps it's unfair to mention it, but Sew took Donna to her first professional hockey game and calmly assured her that that was just the way he used to play hockey in college!
It was good to see Bob Lowe and better yet to extract from the Captain, Medical Corps, a report on himself—
"Finally got started off on a career when I finished my medical education and training in July 1940. In September 1940 started on a year of active duty at the Station Hospital, Fort Totten, N. Y. There for 4 months taking care of what few ills the Army has—from an MD's viewpoint the Army is disgustingly healthy.
"On February Ist was transferred to the Corps Area Surgeons Office, Governor's Island, where I am to date—here my work has been entirely on the administrative side, plans and training, professional service and personnel with the emphasis on the latter—many a medico would gladly stand me up against the wall as it has been my unpleasant job at times to pick the boys to send to distant places from Iceland to Timbuctoo, thereby breaking up the happy home.
"January 12th two big events occurred—first received my promotion to Captain and 11/2 hours later was on my first trip to the west coast—a grand trip and evidence that the Navy is not the only one that sees the world. Got back OK this time but without a doubt the next trip will be one way—the army is moving fast and we are all going to see action—one thing you learn to do in the Army and that is live for today for tomorrow may not be here."
Before medicine, incidentally, Bob had had a varied career—truck driver, brakeman on the Montpelier & White River Railroad, rubber worker in Akron, gas station manager and steeplejack.
From Bob Cort, now living in Norton, Mass.
"I got married in that same momentous month when Roosevelt got himself inaugurated—March 1933. I've been in elementary education for ten years and received a master's degree at Teacher's College, Columbia, in 1940. I am now the principal of the Tiffany School in Attleboro. Norton is the seat of Wheaton College. Wherever you lookbeautiful blondes, not to mention the brunettes."
To the story last month of the marriage of Hank Blake and Mary Dana should be added the fact that the Reverend Richard McClintock assisted in the ceremony. If memory serves correctly Wee and Hank were roommates in Wheeler Hall.
Al Louer reports the 1942 Alumni Fund organization all completed and as follows—

Editors of the Class Bulletins will be Hugh Morrison, Sid Hayward, Dean Chamberlain and Jack Cannon. We can expect some extraordinary literary output from this group, particularly because of the scholarly research which features Jack's current residence in Hanover. Actually Jack and Dorothy are living in Norwich but he is doing much of his work in the library where he has a study of his own.
Dean and Enid Chamberlain have adopted a baby girl. Martha is her name and she came to live at the Norwich home of her folks last December.
Jack Bickford has resigned from the TriContinental Corp. to join the Statistical and Research Division of the W.P.B. The container industry will be his especial forte, his address in Washington as yet un- known.
Red Willis is also in Washington for the duration, directing water transport in the Office of the Quartermaster General, Address— 3212-44 th Street, NW.
Frank Bailey is still another, for in a re- cent letter to Ken Weeks he writes—
"My news is after having a sabbatical from Mount Holyoke College in Europe. I returned just before war broke in 1939. Bought an old house and fixed it up at 64 Woodbridge St., South Hadley. Enlisted in the United States Naval Reserve July 13, 1941' called up for active duty as Lieutenant (Junior Grade) on January 4, 1942. I served five weeks at Headquarters of the First Naval District. Now I'm in Washington at the Navy Department. 'Keep 'em Rollin!' "
Charlie Macdonald is busy up Boston way with Stone & Webster and all of the defense work that important engineering firm now is doing. He reports that he sees Jack Jackson occasionally and that he's still much occupied with New England Tel. Sc Tel.
Stew Orr and Chet Morrison are Assistant Trust Officers of the State Street "I rust Co. in Boston. Stew lives in Newton and Chet in Marblehead.
From Editor Bob Edgar of the "Crosse Pointe News," Grosse Pointe Farms, Michigan—(a full size newspaper of which any city could be proud)
"It was with great interest that I read you were once again dunking your muddle brains in snowbanks in and around Hanover. Your average number of visits to the hills must run around 20 or 30 annually now. What are chances of the ski-troopers gathering you in?
"For a long, long time now I have been in hopes of getting down that way and chewinga few hunks of gossip with some of you boys. Things seem to work against me though. I was in town for two days in late August, but had to spend all my time talking to advertising agents trying to swell the volume in the Grosse Pointe News. ...
"We finished our first year of publication in November, and feel like old stuff in the weekly game now. It is going pretty well, though just now we're all trying to guess where things are going. Personally I think the weeklies are going to make out all right, especially around here with the population jumping on account of all the defense projects.
"I had the great pleasure of seeing Farnsworth the Saturday before New Year's. As you may know, he is attorney for Tommy Dorsey, of orchestra fame. Tommy had flown his band in from the west coast to play a debut in Cincinnati the night before and had wired Bill to meet him there to get some business transacted. Jean came along with him and we threw a luncheon Saturday afternoon while waiting for Tommy to get in. "Three days later I went into the hospital to have a hernia operation that has been hanging over me for the last couple years. I still sneak around like an old man with a social disease, but am getting back my usual youthful agility now. They let me drive a car for the first time yesterday. Fortunately the office is only two blocks from home, so I have been able to walk back and forth there with little trouble.
"Chaffin was out the other day and brought me up to date on his prowlings and St. Clair's. I haven't seen John for some time, as he is living out in Birmingham, some 25 miles north of Detroit."
How many noticed who the '26er was, listed among the "Dartmouth in Town Again" in the cover picture of the March issue?
This time it's the Secretary who is passing out cigars! John Welsh Cleary, ringside weight 7 pounds 2½ ounces, arrived March 6th. Even the father is doing nicely.
