1903

B. L. Winslow, secretary of the Northern California Dartmouth Club, has sent me a newspaper account of the meeting in San Francisco of Col. Carlos P. Romulo, Minister of Information in President Quezon's Philippine War Cabinet, and Michael O'Malley. An interesting picture was taken of the two as Mike was giving the colonel his first information in two years of the safety and good health of his family. The evidence of relief shown by Colonel Romulo and Mike's pleasure in giving the information to him is all there in the picture. It was O'Malley, the colonel said, who first taught him Americanism. "He treated me like a son and gradually changed my hatred for America to suspicion, my suspicion to confidence, then gratitude, then friendship for America." Well done Mike and a Wah-Hoo-Wah for you.

In the Vermont Historical Society's VermontQuarterly for April, 1944, appears the "Broken Shoe" of Middlebury Sketches 111 by Robert Davis. We wish we might hear from Bob, who was, at the time of our last contact deep in the heart of Texas with his family.

Reported at first as "missing in action" over Italy on March 18, Lt. Walter Robert Swan has finally been found to be a prisoner of war in Germany. Walter was a navigator of a Flying Fortress of the U. S. Army Air Corps. He is the son of Lawrence C., our own Laurie, now deceased, and Mrs. Swan of Beverly, Mass.

The Five Class Dinner in Boston May 5 was the most successful gathering of the classes yet held: more men in attendance; a splendid informal presentation of Dartmouth life as it is today, by Ernest Watson 'O2; a fine dinner, and last but not least, an enthusiastic informal mingling of the boys on the campus during our college life. We secretaries of the five classes take our hats, off to Bob Harding for his most careful efforts in arranging the details.
