1921

This will be just a once over lightly, to leave room for the list o£ contributors to the 1949 Alumni Fund. Rog Wilde said to be sure and express his appreciation to every member of the Class for the grand response which gave us our second Green Derby in a row last year. In a cheerful letter he reports that we are off to another fast start this year. The year-end reminder in the Smoker brought in $1,405 from 12 contributors who got a 1949 tax deduction and it gave the Class the best start ever toward our third Derby. Your Sec attended the Alumni Council meeting in Hanover late in January. The undergraduate outlook, between impending mid-year exams and the lack of even a promise of snow, was pretty grim. But it came out all right when the snow arrived in the nick of time, and the Carnival weekend weather was tops.... even to a full moon in a cloudless sky. John Sullivan and JohnWoodhouse were also in attendance at the Council meeting, so '2l had a good representation. Randy Childs, in town for a brief sojourn, made it immediately known that he is very much in the running for '2l 's most eligible bachelor. He challenged Mac Johnson's right to the title ungrammatically, with the question, "What has Mac got that I haven't got?" We refused. to bite on that one, but Johnnie Sullivan suggested we might run Randy for the title and throw in a Cadillac as an added attraction. Conclusions as usual. . .. none. It was good to see John Woodhouse after so many years. He doesn't get to see many Classmates down Wilmington way, but he is active in local Dartmouth Club affairs and does a lot of work on admissions since he is Councillor in charge of Delaware. Other Classmates who head up interviewing committees around the country are "CD" Bassett in North Dakota; Hal Braman, Middlebury, Conn.; HerrickBrown, New Rochelle; Vance Clark, Cincinnati; Maurie Cole, Atlantic City; George Forman, Lexington, Ky.; Ort Hicks, Great Neck; Bill Murray, Holidaysburg, Pa.; Hugh Penney, Ayer, Mass.; and Dan Ruggles, Marblehead, Mass. In addition there are many others who work on committees year after year.

Ort and Lois Hicks announced the engagement of daughter Caryl Ann in January to James H. Smith, Dartmouth '49, of Glencoe, 111. The wedding is planned for June. Jim is finishing second-year Tuck this spring. There will soon be another wedding in Herrick Brown's family. Cornelia became engaged to Seward Ellsworth Pomeroy of Worcester in January. Cornelia is a senior at Mount Holyoke and Mr. Pomeroy graduated from Amherst in 1946. Elmer Gardner, whose address we haven't been sure about for some time, lives at 1334 Poinsettia St., El Monte, Calif. He is in the feed and poultry business out there.

In his New York World-Telegram column, Frank Farrell gives out with some interesting information about Corey Ford's How toGuess Your Age, parts of which he so generously let us publish in our '2l notes. The way 6f an author is hard. Listen to this:

"Corey Ford, the humorist, finds little to laugh about in his current predicament, in which he slightly resembles a gent chasing his toupee in a supersonic wind-tunnel. Months ago he idly scribbled a document intended only to amuse his literati elders within the sacrosanct membership of the Dutch Treat Club. His manuscript recorded various and sundry ludicrous phenomena by which it suddenly dawned on a middle-aged Ford that the earlier knight in shining armor was gradually becoming a puffing and dented Model "T".

"A Collier's editor in the DTC bought first rights and published it. A Doubleday editor purchased book rights and signed Gluyas Williams to illustrate the saga of the mellowing male. But these, Ford has found out, were not the only ones to appreciate his version of How To Guess Your Age.

"Wall Streeters, hucksters, columnists, traveling salesmen, everybody with .a fourth cousin who has ascess to a mimeograph machine rolled himself off 100 copies of the Collier's piece and mailed it'to account executives, creditors and friends. Somewhere in between a link of this chain-letter snapped, the one that credited its origin. Now innumberable "editions" carry the bylines of its lifters.

"When recent estimates of this private circulation bounced up into the millions, Ford and Doubleday yelled for lawyers who found themselves in a new fix that could only be countered by new approach. That's why double-edged ads will soon appear throughout the country plugging the book and threatening to slug legally all present and future plagiarists."

That's all for now except to remind you that by the time you read this the 1950 Alumni Fund Campaign will be close to the half way mark. Give Rog a boost by sending in your contributions early and often.
