1943

If you fellows have been as snow-bound in your territory as we have in Boston, then you'll see the reason why my news for this month is rather limited. I want to keep it down too, because of the list of names in connection with the Alumni Fund.

Locally, the recent Dartmouth-Holy Cross basketball game at the Boston Gardens was about the only "Big-Green" event. The Alumni Association sponsored a buffet dinner and drinks before the game. I didn't see many people at the game that I knew, but then the Garden is a pretty big place. I went with Dick Burns '42 and after the game in the Cocktail Lounge we saw several Dartmouth fellows, but no familiar '43 faces.

Another local item of interest is that StanPriddy, '43's gift to the Olympic Hockey Squad, sailed on January 9 on the QueenElizabeth for a. two-months' tour of Europe. Best of luck on your trip, Stan.

I want to take this opportunity to thank the following fellows for their Christmas cards: Jim Olsen, Ed Bock, Dick Kimmel, johnnyKoslowski, Paul Hanlon, Harry Townshend,Bud Hall, Stan Priddy, Kelly Coffin, RogerWolbarst, Don Miller, Bob Mara, Ted Driscoll, Orm Birkland, a swell picture-card of the twins from Bob Pelren, and Lee Anderson.

Lee Anderson wrote a note on his card and passed on some news. He graduates from Michigan Law School this coming July and then plans to head westward, to Washington or Oregon. Lee's son "Mike" celebrated his first birthday December 6. My boy's first birthday was December 12, Lee; that's pretty close!

Have some statistics to report this month. Engagements first. That of Nancy Fitzgerald to Graham Conklin, in Hackensack, New Jersey; Betty Jane Sample to Joseph Miskell in Falmouth, Massachusetts; Janet Mason to Ben Edmonds of Fall River, Massachusetts. One wedding in January took place in New York City—that of Hilda Fisher to Herb Marx. Finally, the births' department records two additions, a son, Frederic Lewis Coldwell, to Fred Coldwell on December 2, 1947, and a daughter, Sere Louise Clark to Josh Clark of West Newton, Massachusetts, on November 17. Mrs. Clark is the former Helen Dyan of Essex, England.

You may recall that awhile ago, I gave a report on Nelson AicCldry, of our class, in regard to his trip with the Ronne Expedition to the Antarctic area. I've been brought up to date now and will quote excerpts from two news items that I received. The headline, dated October 16, reads: "Sledge Party Begins 1,000-mile Trek through Unexplored Antarctic Area." Then it goes on:

"The party will push southward along an unknown portion of the shores of the Weddell Sea in Antarctica. There are four men in the group, one of whom is Nelson McClary, surveyor There are three loaded sledges with 27 dogs For the next three months the only means of communication with civilization open to the four men will be by a small, hand-cranked radio. On it they can obtain information up to a distance of ninehundred miles."

The second article, dated October 21, goeson: "A broken bone and a broken sledge in the white Antarctic wastes have delayed the weddell Coast exploratory sledge party. The first _ day the group journeyed thirteen miles, climbing two thousand feet to the bottom of the glacier which ascends the six thousand foot plateau on which the expedition's weather outpost is located. They camped five days there, while winds up to ninety miles an hour blew constantly. Then, readying to continue, they found that two bridges were broken on one of their three sledges.

"Since they were only thirteen miles from base, it was decided that McClary and one other fellow would take the sledge back and bring up a new , .

"The dog team started the return trip with such speed that McClary just managed to grasp the bars at the rear of the sledge. But the violent winds of the past days had dug deep indentations in the snow forming waves four feet deep.

"McClary made ready to throw on the brake. The sledge drove straight into the side of an indentation and he was thrown through the air, flipped over and landed in front of the sledge. He felt a sharp pain in his shoulder. Examination revealed that his collarbone had broken cleanly."

The latest report I received is that Nelson's collarbone is healing and that he hopes to rejoin the train party soon.

I received a belated report on the affairs at the Dartmouth-Yale game this fall and found out that there were class get-togethers before and after the game which were attended by John Keefe, Harry Townshend,Mike Frothingham and John Mcßean, Walt Kelly '4O and others.

Bob Liming, returned from the wars, is on his way back to Newton with his newly- acquired wife. Jerry Blanchet, has been named a Rhodes Scholar for the New England district. At present he's doing graduate work at Princeton. His work at Oxford will be in the field of history. Our congratulations to you, Jerry.

Reunion Reports will be forthcoming and as time goes on you'll be hearing more and more about it. Bill Maeck and his committee are really rolling.

In the next issue of this MAGAZINE I'll have some news for you about the plans for the big event.

I have appointed a three-man committee to make nominations for our next slate of class officers. Suggestions for this committee were submitted by members of the Executive Committee. This is done in accordance with our Class Constitution which reads as follows: Sec. 1. "Officers for the class shall be elected at the fifth reunion by the class and at intervals of five years thereafter. Balloting shall be for eleven members of the Executive Committee who shall elect from their own number a secretary-chairman and treasurer. The term of office shall be five years. Sec. 2. There shall be a nominating committee of three men appointed by the secretary-chairman. It shall be the duty of this committee to present to the class at the stated meetings (Ed-Reunion) after careful investigation, a list of nominees for the Executive Committee. Other nominations may be made from the floor by members of the class." (Ed-added to that will be nomination for a Class Agent.) (In case any of these appointees don't accept, then an alternate will be named.) This nominating committee consists of: George Munroe, Maurice Dampier and JohnKoslowski. These men have been chosen for the following reasons: 1. Active in class activities, get-togethers, etc., both as undergrads and as alumni. 2. Know other members that are still active and thus have good idea who will be effective as class officers because of their interest, enthusiasm, and desire to work for the class. 3. Represent geographical factions of class—i.e., Koslowski-east, Munroe-midwest (Joliet, Illinois), Dampier-further west (St. Louis and also New York area). 4. Represent varied groups going back to undergraduate days. "Damp" has been one of our most active classmates, organizing functions in New York from his post at the Dartmouth Club. "Kos," as Class Agent has come in close contact with all of us and has been active at get-togethers, etc.,—probably knows as many fellows in the class as anyone. George, at Law School now, is as loyal a Dartmouth man as there is—even got married in Hanover. He will be sure that good men get nominated.
