1924
Congratulations to Mike Watkins for the swell job he did of organizing the class for this year's Alumni Fund campaign. Mike deserves a big hand from every member of the class for the splendid record he made this year. It is no easy job. Take it from one who knows.
Kip Higley's son is now a member of the Class of 1949 at Dartmouth.

He's an industrial specialist in the U. S. Navy in a civilian capacity, and has been stationed in the A. O. Smith Corporation in Milwaukee for over three years.
Whit Whitaker is a captain in the Army. He's been stationed in India for two years and of course that means that he has been at the Burma Front. He has been overseas now for three years Pilly Hill is a gentleman farmer at Oldwick near Far Hills, N. J. When not busy on his farm he continues with his architectural commissions and if anyone is planning to build a house here is your man.

He was chairman of the Hut Committee of the Appalachian Mountain Club for three years, a position which Bob Morgan now holds. Charlie lives in Milton with his wife and children, a daughter and son Joe Egolf is still interested in music and we understand puts on a musical show each year in his home town of Rosslyn Farms near Pittsburgh.

They have a daughter, Joan, and young Joe who will be heading for Dartmouth in i960.
Whit Gowrie was recently promoted to the Chief of the Traffic Department of the Southern New England Telephone Company. This unfortunately made it necessary for him to move from his lovely home in suburban New Haven to New London Lt. Comdr. Norman S. Everett has been for some time at the U. S. Naval Air Station, Pasco, Washington. Incidentally he is located about thirty miles from the Maury Ahlquist ranch. Jerry Glauber was in the chain store business up until 1942. Since this time he has been connected with the St. Moritz Hotel in New York.
George Anderson is in the Navy as a lieutenant and wrote on March 16 as follows: "My active duty in the Navy began the first of January 1943, and after a tour of duty at the Philadelphia Navy Yard I went out to the Mediterranean, where I spent the better part of a year and saw a lot of the coastal cities of North Africa, Sicily, Italy and Southern France. Returned to the States in December 1944, and after a fifteen-day leave at home, which fortunately included the holidays, I reported on my present assignment (Pacific). I never got over to Cairo, though I had hoped to, where my old roommate, John Dregge, was teaming up with King Farouk. I have not happened to run into any men of our class in the service, during my travels, at least so far. However, I do see Eddie Lynch of the class of 1923, quite frequently out here. I still maintain my home, my wife and three children in Elkhart, Indiana, and am still head of my bank, though on leave of absence."
