1948

College is once more in session and the '48s back in Hanover are again dividing their time between classes and the football weekend social life. The brightly colored autumn leaves are blazing out all over the campus, literally shouting through the brisk fall air their contrast to the bright whiteness of Dartmouth Hall and the green grass all around it. The freshman-sophomore rivalry, judging from indications to date, is in full swing and the Vigilantes seem to have their hands full. Activities are getting under way around the campus with all their pre-war vitality and the College and class spirit so far indicated is greater than seen in years.

Getting down to cases, the Class of '48 has done more than well in the matrimonial field in the past few months. The following men, not previously mentioned (and by no means a complete list), have recently entered upon a "double life": Scane Bowler, Dave Meeker, Walt Friend, Sumner Sollitt, Bob Eckerson, Bob Douglas, Bob Herrick, John Fenno, Al McMichael, and Phil Ruegger. We'd like to give you more of the vital information about these marriages, but so far it just isn't available to us. At any rate, congratulations to you men and best wishes to your spouses from all of '48.

The class can consider itself indirectly in the news as a result of Bill Felton's catch of a touchdown pass against Penn last weekend. Nice going, Bill, and here's hoping you can do more of the same the coming games.

And here's some news concerning the activities and whereabouts of some members of the class now beginning their life's work of earning a living. Davie Auld is a budding accountant with General Electric in Schenectady. Russ Carlson is a trainee with the Guaranty Trust Company in New York. DonCasey is working in the same city for the Union Securities Corporation. Bob Heine is with the Hartford Accident and Indemnity Cos., while Jim Ernster is engaged in real estate in Hinsdale, Ill. John Abrahamson is a fledgling executive with the Fairmont Foods Cos. of Omaha, and Jim Hughes is a civil engineer with a St. Paul firm. Eel McLaughlin sells for the Scott Paper Cos. of Watertown, Mass., as does Charlie Randolph for the McGraw-Hill publishing firm in New York. Ted Tischler is starting a promising career as teacher at Vermont Academy, and Bob Stewart is a control buyer trainee with Sears Roebuck in Los Angeles.

How about the rest of you guys out in the cold world giving us some information about yourselves, your jobs, your marital status, if any, and anything else that might be interesting to the rest of us. Just drop us a card once in a while.

A recent note of great sadness was the death of Johnny Metzger in an auto accident north of Hanover this summer. He and good old Pete Whitney of the Indian Bowl went West together on a sharp turn near Bradford. The class extends its sincerest sympathy to John's mother, Mrs. Evelyn R. Metzger.

That just about winds things up for now. See you next month, and meanwhile please let's hear from you.
