1913
We have just been attending the Dartmouth-Yale game via radio and thinking back to former days and the football trips to New Haven for that classic. Chum and Chris Hayes were living in New Haven and then Orange and their open houses those week ends and the parties at the Taft will be remembered by many. We went down with Emmett andKathleen Pishon always and you who were there will regret with us that so many of the football trips in various directions have been given up for one reason or another JackMacdonald however has continued his pil- grimages to Boston for the Harvard game. He hasn't missed a game since 1905 and perhaps before that. He and Bill Towler attended the night before the Harvard Game Dinner of '13, '14 and '15 at the University Club. GeneralWillson, Tubby Merrill, Walter Haley, MoseEwing and Wilkins were the local '13 representation, as several who had made reservations had to cancel them before Friday the 22nd. Crust Buck had eaten with 1910 downstairs but joined the party after dinner.
J. Ray Moloney was in Hanover, up from Claremont, and in a long talk with Bob Conant promised not to miss the next reunion.
George Watts is starting his third term as Secretary Treasurer of the American Assn. of Teachers of French, publishers of The FrenchReview. The Association has had large growth, now some 3375. He and the family were on Cape Cod as usual but this summer sent up a load of lumber from Davidson, N. C. to build a guest house on the lot. It arrived when they otherwise would have been in Hanover for the reunion. With the expert help of two nephews it was ready and occupied by the first week in August. Betty, now 14, handles their sailboat well enough to be invited to sail as crew in the weekly races of the Orlean Yacht Club. The boat is sailed by two Tufts Students.
Jay Runkle, chairman of the Board of Directors of the National Retail Dry Goods Assn. and General Manager of Crowley, Milner & Co., Detroit, attended the meeting of the Association at the Hotel Penn. in N. Y. recently. He returned via Hanover where he and Mrs. Runkle spent some time at the Hanover Inn.
Oscar and Lee Scharrer are the first to be heard from with reservations or definite plans for Hanover Holiday next June. Jack andLouise Nelson will also be in attendance.
Howard Ball attended the Yale game with the Ed Buffums and will have Nana and her family with him for the Columbia game.
Al Washburn and Gladys had to miss the reunion in spite of Albert Jr. being in College, for Al hasn't been driving much. He now, as we write, is in the Carney Hospital in Boston were Dr. Herman Burian has removed a cataract from the left eye. Everything is fine and he has attended the Harvard and Yale games via his bedside radio.

D."Jewett is secretary of the Belnap County Dartmouth Club; Matt Gately is secretary of the Dartmouth Club of Buenos Aires; so many of the Class are busy on Dartmouth Club affairs.
Phil Harmon is with the General Ice Cream Co. at Schenectady, N. Y. following in Dad's line, and Jean back from Europe now has been a year in Washington, which leaves Dot Harmon alone again in Portland with her gardens and her hospital board work.
S. Pinkney "Kippy" Tuck has set up a new scholarship fund to award up to $800 annually to qualified sons of career officers in the Foreign Service. John A. Gray '51 is the first recipient. Kippy, you will remember at our reunion dinner made a fervent plea for our sons and friends sons to study for Foreign Service. He is now a member of the Board of Directors of the Suez Canal, the first American to be so appointed.
Look this fall for Art Myers' book "How Sane Are You?" Inquire at your book store.
Matt Gately's son Matthew was in Hanover for the October 16 weekend and dinner at the Bob Conants'. He graduated from Harvard Law School last June and is now looking around to get himself established.
Harry French and Fred Page have been hunting this fall as usual and report a great scarcity of birds which they feel is attributed to the increasing nufnbers of foxes.
Merry Christmas to all of you from your class officers.
