1930

Christmas Day of 1946 will go down in KelRichards' book as something more than merely the culmination of Holiday activities and the arrival of Santa Claus. On that day Kel was married to Frances Mary Donnelly in Tucson, Ariz. The bride and groom will make their home at 2740 Oracle Road in Tucson. Although for some time it has appeared as if the remaining bachelors of 1930 were a determined group, Kel's departure from those ranks is evidence that Cupid has not lost hope with these stalwarts.

Although the news has been some time in coming, we recently heard from Dick Parker that, since last September, he and his wife and two children (Michael, who is now four and Beatrice, nearly three) have been in Luxor, Egypt, at Chicago House, the headquarters of the Oriental Institute with which Dick has been connected for some time in Chicago. Apparently he has found many changes in Egypt since being there six years ago. Dick fears that few Dartmouth tourists will find themselves in or near Luxor, but wants them to know that they would be welcome. He plans to return to Chicago next April for the Summer Merrill Bush has left Philadelphia and his teaching assignment at Temple University to come to Boston where he is now Director of Adult Education of the American Unitarian Association. Although he will have his headquarters in Boston, his work will be such that he will undoubtedly be doing extensive travelling throughout all of the country on speaking engagements. Merrill moved his family to West Newton on the 23rd of this last December and alleges that the move at that particular time, immediately before Christmas, with what he calls his "three small Bushes" (ages 51/2, 3 and 8 months) was something bordering an ordeal. .... Chairman of the Memorial Fund, BudFrench, took advantage of a convention in Palm Beach during the first part of January by spending an extra week with Celie partaking of the joys of the sun, beach and other pleasures of that clime at this time of the year. Bud saw Harry Heneage on the beach one afternoon who reported that NelsonRockefeller had been in Palm Beach the previous day en route to Caracas. Subsequent newspaper articles reported that Nelson had gone to Caracas to help organize, in cooperation with the Venezuelan Government, the agricultural development of Venezuela.

The picture accompanying these notes is that of "The Keene's," a lodge built by BobKeene and his family, which is located in Etna, New Hampshire, about two miles back of the Villa Clara Inn. By next winter Bob will have the place completed and will operate it as a ski lodge in the winter and as a camp during the other months of the year. The lodge is located on a tract of 200 acres of woodland, pastures and farm land and, with a drop of about 1,000 feet, will provide excel lent skiing terrain. This project is one in which Bob applied his personal manly efforts, —aided and abetted by four ex G.l.s who wanted some work, and an occasional lift from Trumbell's cement mixer. The timbers for the lodge came from an old barn on the location which was torn down to make way for the new lodge. Although the project originally started as a "venture," Bob now finds that the hills of New Hampshire are becoming ncreasingly attractive and he hopes this next Spring to break ground and start work on the erection of his own home nearby so that his two boys and girl will have an opportunity for something other than the hurly-burly of metropolitan life. As a matter of fact, Bob admits that the pressure and nervous strain of the advertising business in New York and the maintenance of his photography studios in which sixteen people are employed, may well lead him ultimately to remove himself permanently to this site in the North Country. Those of 1930, especially, will undoubtedly find "The Keene's" a delightful spot for weekends of skiing in the winter and for en joying the North Country during the summer months. With commuting mobs, telephones, and the other attendant nervous distractions of city life, a good many of us have undoubtedly shared Bob's feelings about returning to the Hanover country and will be envious of Bob's determination to do something about it.

Bill Bragner was named Supervising Principal on February 1 of the Park Ridge (N. J.), School. During the war Bill served, with the rank of major in the A.A.F., as Ground School Director both at home and in the Pacific Theatre and his last assignment was that of Military Governor at Nagasaki. Prior to the war, Bill was Principal of the Junior-Senior High School in Windsor, Vt., for seven years. .... George Porter has resigned from Minnesota and Ontario Paper Company and has started his own business, Technical Supply Company, with offices located at 517 Northwestern Bank Building, Minneapolis. We will attempt to report later on the exact nature of George's new business 1930 seems to have the Long Island Dartmouth Club pretty much under its control. This last December, CarlBuhler was elected President and Frank Rath a member of the Executive Committee of the Club at a meeting at which Whitey Fuller reported on the athletic situation at the College. The Dartmouth Club News of New York made the following comment concerning Carl's election: "Prexy Buhler is already scanning the Long Island playing fields with an eye to picking up a half dozen tackles, al- though he is being well scouted by Cornell and Princeton."

Director of Admissions AI Dickerson, and Eddie Jeremiah were both recent visitors to Boston. Inskip was on a trip to Chicago for a meeting of the Alumni Council and with headmasters of several midwestern prep schools, while Eddie demonstrated to the fans of Boston what a real college hockey team should look like, by having his Big Green trounce the highly touted Boston University aggregation by a score of 6-1 We recently learned that Art Brown has returned to New England and is now living in Leominster, Mass Dick Zeigler is managing the Canyon Inn at Spencer, Ind., and CarrollMavis has just reported that he is now living in Williamsville, N. Y.

DOUBLE CAUSE FOR 1930 JOY and a double dose of trouble for Dartmouth sports opponents. Veteran Big Green hockey Coach Eddie Jeremiah '3O, left, talks things over with newly-appointed baseball Coach Eddie Jeremiah '3O, right. The new diamond coach is probably trying to ferret out the success formulas of the top American college hockey coach.

PLENTY OF MATERIAL to work with is shown in this picture of the ski lodge recently built by Bob and Louise Keene '3O out Hanover Center way.
