1937
Word has been received that John Norman Anderson, Jr., previously listed as missing in action, has been officially declared dead by the Navy Department. The class extends its sympathy to his parents, his wife, Joan, and to John Norman Anderson, 3rd, whom we hope will be a Hopkins Scholar at Dartmouth in the 1960's. A fuller account of Norm's life and achievements will be found in the INMEMORIAM section of this issue.
A letter from Brazil tells us that Bob Ewing is in "Sao Paulo." Bob has not been getting his ALUMNI MAGAZINE regularly and wonders whether the College is forgetting about him. There is a 50-50 chance he will be able to get back to the Reunion and he, certainly, is going to do his best to make it. Due to his long absence from the States, Bob has probably seen fewer classmates than almost any '37er, and is looking forward to Roy Abbott's visit to Rio. Bob makes the suggestion that periodically a column in the ALUMNI MAGAZINE be devoted to just giving the current addresses of all members of the class to enable contacts between friends to be reestablished. What do other members of the class think about this suggestion?
Dave Kenerson is now located in Camden, N. J., with the West Jersey Hospital. He reports that Dave Jr. is now nearing his third birthday and is showing a definite interest in Dartmouth matters.

Em Bentley wrote from his company, the Bristol Broadcasting Company, Inc., in New Bedford and sent along his annual contribution. He made the suggestion that the yearly dues be increased, it being understood that a definite portion of the increase should be added year by year to the surplus to go with the 25th Reunion gift to the College. The Executive Committee and Reunion Committee of the class, certainly, welcome such suggestions as this and hope more fellows will advance their ideas, so that they can be considered before the Reunion in June Charlie Blaisdell wrote recently enclosing his dues contribution from his Law Office at 280 Madison Ave. He reports that he is concentrating on Taxation Law and criminal matters and finds it pretty hard catching up after four years with the F.B.I Ham Mathes writes from Massachusetts State College at Fort Devens, where he is now an assistant professor of French.
