1945
The news for this month is fairly slim and most of it is of the indirect type. I will dispose of my so-called original news, and then I will swing in to what has been supplied by the various official Hanover outlets.
On March 19, I attended the annual meeting of the Dartmouth Club of lowa which was held here in Des Moines. Dr. Carr was the guest from Hanover and he spoke briefly on the latest news of the College. However, very shortly he was drawn into discussion concerning the civil rights committee of which he was executive secretary. Wendell Robinson and myself were the only '45's present.
Twenty-six members of our class were awarded bachelor degrees on April 9.

Don Sisson is a Sales Engineer for the Economic Machinery Cos. of Worcester. DaveGoldstein is now studying at the University of London. John Gooding's address is given as Mt. Hermon School and so I guess that John is teaching there. John Buttler is a law student at Columbia.
Warren Qiiimby and Elizabeth Rhoades were recently married in Larchmont, N. Y. Mrs. Quimby was graduated from Mount Holyoke College. Warren has recently received a graduate degree from Purdue University. They traveled to Bermuda for the honey-moon.
Another wedding to come to my attention this month is that of Dr. Steve Rothwell and Miss Barbara Chapman which took place in New York. Mrs. Rothwell attended Mass. State College and the Mass. General Hospital School of Nursing. Steve is now located at the George F. Geisinger Hospital, Danville, Pa.
There are three engagements to report this month. Bud Elder is engaged to Constance M. Bradford of Columbus, Ohio. Connie's schools are Denison University in Ohio and St. Margaret's School in Connecticut. Dick Gilman and Lucille Young make up the second engagement of the month. Lucille teaches in the Hanover schools. And number three is that of Frank Wilcox and Elizabeth Ann Weis. Miss Weis is a member of the senior class at Wellesley College.

Recent Hanover Inn visitors included Mr.and Mrs. John Curtis Osborn.
Tom Maver wrote a long interesting letterthis month and I quote:"Al Lott and I drove down to Boston the afternoon of the Toronto hockey game and ran into Dick Spaulding and Sam Cutler and had a swell time forgetting the game and recalling some of the more memorable events in Hanover. Dick is now with his father's construction company in Boston. Sam is teaching history at the River's School while Al and I are still in Hanover. Al is now president of KKK and will graduate in June. Just after the game I ran across Steve D'Arrigo and Charlie Holt.
Most of . the '45's left in Hanover are down here at Tuck or Thayer schools and a few are up in the medical school. One of the largest concentrations is probably up here where I live on the top floor of Woodbury House. Here we've got JackPrentice, who is struggling through second year Tuck with me; John Mac Donald and Bruce Castle, who are first year Tuck and "Senator" Bob Hooker who is in first year Thayer as well as a leading figure in the Glee Club. Bud Barnes and CliffCos grove live downstairs and are currently breathing the atmosphere of first year Tuck.
"Some of the other Tuck '45's are Ed Comins,Paul Cover, Don MacKay, Bob Fisher, CarlLoewenson, Vic Sherman. John Allen. Charlie-Becker. Harry Bissell, Blair McClenachan, DonAsh, Art O'Donnell, Hunt Bennett, Sum Dorjman,Roy Duke and Howie Germain. Among those over at Thayer are Barney Oldfield, Doc Sanders, DonHawley, Herb Boedtker and Don Sisson.
"Bob Joy, Joe Guattery, Howie Farrar and Harry Durkin are all in Med School. Some of the other boys I run into quite often are George Hunsicker, Mo Morgan, Warren Schleicher, and TomYates.
"While I was home in Chicago at Christmas I saw a bit of my old roommate Will Hufstader. Will and his wife, Bonnie, are now living up near Evanston while he sells Buicks (What else?) for the Western Avenue Auto Sales Company. From what I learned from Huff, Flea Clark should be just about finished with his internship at the Hurley Hospital in Flint, Michigan.
"At the Alumni cocktail party in Chicago I met Rick and Dorothy Crabtree. John and HarrietPine, and Bud Elder. Rick is living in Chicago where he is taking a training course with U. S. Steel Products Company. The Pines were in for the holidays from Hastings, Nebraska where John is teaching history at Hastings College."
And that is all of the news for this time.
