George W. Patch has resigned from the faculty at Cranbrook School, Bloomfield Hills, Mich., and has returned to his home town and farm in Shelburne Falls, Mass. With degrees of A.B. and M.A. from Dartmouth and having taught in Pensacola, Fla., Lowell, Mass., St. Paul's School in Garden City, N. Y., St. Stephen's College, and at Mercersburg Academy, George in 1928 became head of the Latin Department of Cranbrook School. During his term of service there he has prepared for graduation over six hundred and fifty students.
For several years George and his wife have been busily occupied, in his vacation time, in caring for a large apple orchard on the uplands from the Deerfield River, remodeling the farm house, and with general foresightedness, preparing for the time when they could enjoy years of retirement from teaching activity. We wish them great happiness in carrying forward the dream of the future.
Daniel and Elizabeth Hinckley have announced the marriage of their daughter Elizabeth to Lt. Don Kenneth Lansing USNR, on Thursday, June 29, 1944, at Memphis, Tenn.
In correspondence with George P. Hoke '35, son of our classmate, I learned that on May 13, 1944, George P. was presented with a son, and he bears the name George Hoke V. He is entered in the Dartmouth class of '66. In our senior year George Hoke's roommate in the C & G house was Bob Davis. Together they organized many wopd-chopping expeditions and made frequent walking trips over to Woodstock. The prodigious appetite created by such long walks gave rise to the sobriquet of "Hungry" Hoke. Two of his close friends of those days were Vic Cutter and Billy Giant, both still great lovers of the out-of-doors. When the great reunion of classes comes following the close of the war we hope George P. '35 will ferret us out and receive the warm welcome which his father would receive were he with us. '
