1910

I REUNION IN HANOVER-it's nice to anticipate even though the actuality is a bit dim at the moment. However, it is perfectly possible that we may be able to hold our 35th right on the dot—much can happen between now and June, 1945.

Then, of course, all Dartmouth men are scheduled to meet in Hanover some time after the War ends—in what will be the greatest and grandest gathering of Eleazer's Sons the world has ever seen—and what a historic occasion that will be! In the meantime, it's something to day and night-dream about.

Our generation is in a difficult spot in this War. About all we can do is to carry on and do what we are supposed to do—whatever that may be in our own individual situations. Too old for active service, too young for retirement, we are caught in-between.

However, 1910 has one outstanding exception in physical acceptance—Captain Dixi Crosby—stout enough of body and heart to be shipped on active service way out in the South Pacific.

In a letter to Mac Kendall, he penned, "Am now far out in the South Pacific among the banana trees and cocoanut palms. No monkeys here, though, except the human species and they speak French. So I am in my glory jabbering with them but I never saw such a scurvy-looking bunch of mixed breeds in my life. Sorry I cannot tell you the name of this place—military secret—or where I'll be next. I just hope this war will be over before our reunion in '45 and that I can see you again in Hanover. But there's no early end in sight, so let's make it 1950 instead. Nineteen-ten is still young and I feel younger since I'm back in the Army than I did in civilian life."

We'd like to give you Dixi's address, but cannot. If anyone will drop me a line, I'll gladly send it.

George Chamber: in lives at 9154 So. Yates Ave., Chicago 17. Keith Pevear's address is 36 Kings Beach Rd., Lynn, Mass. Arthur Lee is with A. C. Lawrence Leather Co.; Peabody, lives at 61 Highland Ave., Salem. Leo Sherman has taught Chemistry 27 years at Grinnell, the last 19 of which he has headed the department. Atkins Nickerson, 1910's Naval lieutenant commander, resides at 111 Vinton St., Melrose. Capt. Winsor Wilkinson is stationed at Camp White, Oregon.

OFFSPRING—WhiIe we recognize perfectly well the dangers of various Service branches, it was a shock to learn that Jack Tobin is now in submarine service and on his first mission after the Japs—Jack possesses all kind of guts, so to speak, for he jumped from the rough PT service to subs. We have always said that the kids of this generation are O.K. and they are proving it every day.

Dave Kendall completed V-12 at Hanover in February, is now at Plattsburg for further training. His younger brother Bob wanted the same course at Dartmouth but found himself at DePauw. "Bennie" Benjamin is with the Air Force Photo Map outfit at Colorado Springs. Young Henry Harrison is tail gunner in a permanent bomber group and may be overseas by now. Charlie Jackson chose PT boats and has been on active Mediterranean duty for some time. His younger brother "Peanuts" will be eighteen next year and wants to be a combat pilot.

Sgt. Sid Bull running for the Fighter Command vs. Bomber Command at Common, London, won the 3-mile cross country in water hazards, thick brush, logs and mud in 16 flatit was his third triumph and he is now champion of all American Forces in England.

At Chicago Dinner were Billy Williams, Don Bryant, Mac Kendall, Bob Woodcockwhile at Minneapolis "Easty" did one of his old-time rounding-up jobs and had six Tenners out, the most of any class. It's nice to read these names and know that they all met again and reuned—Ken Phelps, Noah Foss, Ed Paul, "Easty," Mike Elliot, Bill Taylor—all except Tom Steward from that immediate area.

Both meetings report that Hoppy was in his old-time form, looked "exceedingly well," gave an inspiring picture of Hanover and the liberal arts college.

RUTH SINCLAIR has George's Aegises for '08, '09, '10 which she would be glad to send to any Tenner desiring them—we had a beautiful letter from her, and it is fine to know that she is taking George's passing with a stout heart and much faith.

ANDY SCARLETT is out to do a great job with the Fund this year and has an excellent base laid for success. As you might expect from the able scientist, he approached his assignment with much careful thought and preparation—appraised its best and worst features—then started his campaign.

His lifetime goal is a 100% gift from every man in the class—each to give something regardless of size.

Let's help him attain it.
