1908

Colonel and Mrs. Arthur Turner Soule of Waban. Mass., announce the engagement of their daughter Frances Morris to John Parker Hansel, of Cranford, N. J. Frances was graduated last year from the Masters School, attended Lasalle Junior College and is studying at the Pierce School in Boston. Mr. Hansel was graduated in 1942 from the Lawrenceville School. He attended Princeton with the accelerated class of 1946 as a member of the marine V-12 unit and will soon enter officers' training school at Quantico, Va.

Phillip Currier, Ralph's son, was reported missing in action in France in October. We sincerely hope that Ralph will be receiving definite word in the near future of his whereabouts and continued good health.

Charlie Bennett is still in charge of the Detroit territory for the Wallace Press of Chicago. He sees Stan Nute occasionally. Charlie looks forward to the day when the OPA will let him drive to Hanover and the White Mountains, and to Concord and Pembrooke where his two sisters live.

Jack Everett's daughter Eloise who was graduated from Smith in August, has a temporary Civil Service appointment as an editorial clerk in the National Archives in Washington. His son, a lieutenant (jg) in the Seabees, is in the Southwest Pacific, presumably in the Mariannas.

Harry Lyon who was with us too short a time, and who made himself famous years ago as navigator of the famous Southern Cross, which successfully landed in the Southwest Pacific on an island about the size of the campus at Hanover, was brought back into the service some time ago as the commander of a Liberty ship. He recently has been home on a leave but expects to report back for service in the near future and guesses that it may be in the Pacific. Harry's home station is Paris, Maine.

Harold Morey, who lived in Wilder, Vt., when we were in college, is with the Nova Scotia Wood Pulp and Paper Co. Ltd., which is owned and operated by the Scott Paper Co. of Chester, Penn., and lives at Charleston, Nova Scotia. Harold seldom sees any men in the class, but if the expansion in air travel to Europe continues, Harold may find himself on the Main Line.

Art Rotch attended the so-called Notre Dame game. He saw the Art Lewis's and the Tappan's at the game, but immediately after the final gun hurried back to Milford to endeavor to get the members of the New Hampshire Editorial Association, of which he is the president, not to publish the final score. His son Bill who is in the Navy, was home for a short time in October before leaving for Miami.

Kid Richardson is with the George J. Fer ris General Agency of Los Angeles.

Doc Winkley, baptized Willard Choate Winkley, in Dover, N. H., before he left that famous N. H. city for Hanover, is with Lockwood-Greene Engineers, Inc., of Lowell, Mass., which is engaged in war construction work on a high-powered schedule which has not given Doc any Saturdays or holidays off in a long time. He hopes they will be starting on some post-war development soon so that he will have to rake his leaves, take down the screens and put on his storm windows. After surviving freshman year on the first floor of Reed Hall, we are banking on Doc to survive anything.

Without doubt the high-light of the fall of our freshman year was the visit of Lord Dartmouth, his wife and daughter. The pageant, made up of historical tableaux, held the first evening of his visit at the Oval illustrated the origin and the early days of the college. At the exercises in the College Church the following morning, President Tucker conferred upon the Earl the degree of Doctor of Laws. At the exercises that afternoon held in the rain at the old Dartmouth Hall site, the cornerstone for the new Dartmouth Hall was laid. The dinner that evening in College Hall was attended by President Eliot of Harvard, Elihu Root representing Hamilton College, and other notables. The bonfire and nightshirt peerade the next evening, at which the Earl headed the procession, was the highlight of the week from the standpoint of the student body.
