Under date of December 24, 1948 Hi O'Neill issued the twelve hundredth issue—Volume 24, No. 50—of his bi-weekly Illinois Basin OilField Report that he established June 29, 1937.

After too strenuous a vacation, playing golf too much or too fast over the Vermont and New Hampshire hills last summer, Iru Goss suffered a coronary thrombosis which put him to bed for six weeks, beginning September 30. He is up and about, taking it easy, and expects to be back at work by the middle of January. The worst of his affliction was missing the Princeton and Yale games, his first absence from the latter since the series began in 1924. His second grandson was born September 25 in Weisbaden, Germany, where the father, a captain in the regular army, is located, expecting to return to the United States in March after three years' service in Europe.

Charlie Gately was always smart, but recently displayed it more than ever by deciding henceforth to take it easy after long arduous and most successful years of law practice. He commenced his "retirement" by a long vacation trip to the West Coast and the Canadian Rockies last summer. His written tribute to his old and cherished friend, Hug Lena, I wish could be repeated. It ends "I shall miss Handsome Hug. I have, however, a particular consolation in the fact that Hug's boy and mine have become intimate friends as students at Dartmouth."

Joe Doe became a grandfather when a granddaughter, Marylyce Doe Lavelle, was born about a year and a half ago to Joe's daughter who lives in Huntington, L. I. Joe recently had lunch with John Brewster who was visiting in New York. Joe reports John is looking fine, but after going through two wars said he has had enough. Joe is busier than ever in the construction business, working on projects in Pittsburgh and Chicago, as well as in New York.

Although Dick Plumer boasts that he is taking it easy in his retirement to Florida, nevertheless, he was high man in the field of nine candidates in a recent election to the Town Council of North Miami, Fla., resulting in his being selected as president of that body. In addition to his civic duties he is active in the Dartmouth Club of South Florida.

The engagement of Ralph Whitney's daughter Charlotte to William Howard Smith Jr. was recently announced. Miss Whitney attended Middlebury College, and the prospective groom was graduated from Riverside Military School, served two years in the army and is now a senior at Babson Institute.

Judge Harrie Chase recently served as one of the judges in the annual Ames Competition Trial at Harvard Law School.

Dick Remsen, as President of the St. Nicholas Society of Nassau Island, was toastmaster at the Hundredth Annual Dinner of that Society, which is made up of members of old Staten Island Dutch families, which includes the Remsen family.

Writing en route to Chicago to attend a meeting of officers of the American Hospital Association, Bill Butler reported a small class reunion attended by himself, Bill Jepsen, RoyFrothingham and Doc O'Connor, when they were all attending an Infantile Paralysis lunch at San Francisco.

Doc Burnham's son Jim is following the steps of his famous brother Don as captain of the Dartmouth track team.

The unsung but vital cogs in the Dartmouth admissions process include as chairmen of alumni interviewing committees HoneyBrooks, Alvy Garcia and Tex Morris. Probably a number of other classmates are and for years have been acting as members of those committees.

Jogger Elcock says the only present additional member to his family is a year-and-ahalf old grandson who, Jogger reports, "is very tough." Jogger is expecting that there will shortly be another grandchild which he hopes will be a granddaughter because, "it has been so many years since a girl sat on my lap that I am looking forward to having that pleasure once again." Last fall Jogger and his wife drove to Hanover and his memory was refreshed as to just how beautiful Hanover and surrounding country are in the fall.

Last year Roy Lewis did not see as many of his classmates as usual. He did have the visit and golf game with Charlie McCarthy as previously reported and, in addition, Ben Adams, Bud Hoban -and Squire Bugbee dropped in on him. Perhaps other classmates missed him in Lebanon because Roy now has an additional enterprise, a fruit farm in Canaan of 3700 apple, pear and miscellaneous fruit trees fully equipped with machine and wood working shops, an electric cider mill and cold storage facilities for 7,000 bushels of fruit. A granddaughter, Maryann Taber, arrived December 2 to Roy's daughter Betty and Don, the son of our own Taber. Don is associated with Roy in his hardware business in Lebanon, helping Roy "keep the weight off his feet.' The other daughter, Mary, and her husband, Bill Johnston, live in Maiden, Mass., Bill being engaged in the insurance business in Boston. Last winter Roy saw Bill Locke in Hollywood on an automobile trip to Gulfport, Miss., where Roy and Floppie spent three weeks with Guy and Frances Lewis. I had a visit with Bill Norris early in December when he called at my office.
