1945
Two '45s were members of the alumni hockey team which met the varsity for a game in the middle of March. The game is becoming an annual affair with the proceeds going for the benefit of Mary Hitchcock Hospital. George Pulliam was at his old post of aggressive defenseman. Doc Sanders played center on the alumni group. The varsity won 11 to 8 after a close game despite Doc's scoring an assist. According to Bob Campbell '42 Doc spent the next week muttering "I'm not as young as I used to be".
Doc Sanders is on the staff at Vermont Academy at Saxtons River. He is teaching mechanical drawing and coaching football and hockey. His hockey team had a fair season winning 4 and losing three despite the lack of ice which severely hampered his cohorts.
Going back into even more ancient news there were six '45s among the February graduation class. They were Ted Belfit, Dave Bohacket, Bob Farrel, Edwin Hubbard, JohnJorgensen, and Dick J. Miller.
You will remember that back some columns ago we mentioned that Evan Connell won a Stanford prize for writing a short story. I have had the pleasure of receiving a copy of that story "I'll Take You To Tennessee". It is a moving story containing Erskine Caldwell and John Steinbeck-like characters and setting, but written without the obscenities which usually detract from their works. It was and is an excellent story. It has already won the $500 first prize in the Edith Mirrielees Contest and the $100 second prize offered by the Midwestern Writers' Conference. His professor in a writing course at Stanford has selected it as the number one story for a volume of Stanford Short Stories which will be published shortly.

As you all know by now this is the month for the beginning of the annual Alumni Fund Drive. You have all been contacted or you will be. Remember that Nick Sandoe and all of his co-workers did an excellent job last year by leading us to a win in the Little Green Derby. This year they are anxious to do the same thing. They tell me that prices are on the decline now so we should all be able to afford a dollar or two to help the cause along. The Alumni gifts to the College are becoming more and more important in order to help maintain the same high standards of teaching and equipment which we enjoyed at Dartmouth. Why not answer the first request and thereby insure our winning the Derby again?
