1920

About this time of year Eddie Bowen and myself used to start on our annual Commencement trip from Albany to Hanover. After we'd left Rutland the old campus seemed pretty close, and we'd start surmising as to who would be on hand. We could always plan on Charlie McGoughran, Sherry Baketel, A 1 Frey and Pab Sample. There was a better than even chance that Bun Harvey, Spence Snedecor, Roc Elliot, George Macomber and Charlie Crathern would show up before the weekend was over. What a grand weekend it always was, and think what its repetition would mean to thousands of "Big Greens" scattered all over the world! With over 5,000 Dartmouth men in uniform, we can't miss.

Paul Sample is in the news again. He was one of the 29 artists who received a citation from the Treasury Department for creating war-bond posters. Pab's citation was awarded in absentia (I've been waiting years to us that phrase) as he is overseas as an artist-correspondent.

We've had Dick Hayes listed as a captain in Coast Artillery. Recent information indicates a lieutenant-colonelcy is the correct title—commandant of an Enlisted Specialists School in Georgia. Bill Cunningham reports in his column that Gus Sonnenberg is ill in the Naval Hospital at Norfolk, Va. Gus is a Chief Specialist in the "Tunney Physical Conditioning Corps."

Sam Palo is now a major and located at Fort Eustis, Va. Lt. Col. Jack Mayer continues as an important officer in the New York-Philadelphia sector of the Eastern Defense Command.

A 1 Frey, on a recent trip to N. Y. to attend the meetings of the American Markets Association, ran into Ken Spalding doing the same thing, found John Felli deep in work at his General Motors' desk, put Dick Pearson on a train for Washington, whence he was headed in his capacity as adviser to some section of OWI, and witnessed Beardsley Foster toiling in his Victory garden at Darien.

Larry Clarkson writes from Los Angeles that he is with the California Hardware Cos., doing lots of business but mostly on defense orders. Lt. Geo. Loehr USCG is stationed at Fort Lauderdale, Fla., and Lt. Col. Max Moyer AUS, is at Fort Leavenworth, Kans.

JUNE 30 marks the deadline for the Alumni Fund campaign. To date, the number of contributions is encouraging, but the number of big boosts over last year is especially heartening. If you've neglected to send in your little green slip, do it now.
