1914
Congratulations to Jim Wheatley '51 as well as his parents George and MargaretWheatley. Jim has been nominated as one of the prospective Rhodes Scholars from Dartmouth. A real honor and we are proud to have a '14er's son among the list.
Seen at the Columbia game were Pennelland Reinette Aborn, Loring and MarforieNichols, Chet and Eve Wescott, John andMadeline Paine, Rocky and Mary Flanders,Phil and Nella Coe, Mart and KathleenRemsen, Ducky and Marian Drake, ArtWoodies, Ted Main and the Narramores. Cocktails and a buffet luncheon were served at the Narramore Farm previous to the game, but without the high wind of the last gathering. Saturday night, all of those who could be found gathered in Room 12 for a showing of some 400 feet of colored movies taken at last June reunion. They were excellently done and will be shown again at the Sno-bird party. There were also some 80 5x7 proofs of the informal snapshots taken at reunion. The completed pictures will be owned by the Class and will be ready for Sno-bird.
It was particularly nice seeing Phil Coe, whom many of us have not seen since gradua- tion. Like many of us, there is considerably more waistline, together with some other changes. Phil has been in the real estate and insurance business under the name of Martin & Coe since 1923 at Worcester, Mass., taking over the business in 1938.
SPECIAL NOTICE. Will all men who took either 35mm slides or 16mm movies of reunion advise the Secretary at once? We want to use them at the Sno-bird party and if you can't bring them we are very anxious that you would send them on to be used by February 23 or 24. Please notify me at once!
The above dates are those of Sno-bird and reservations are already indicative of a good attendance. Killer Remsen had his usual sue cess on the Sisson hunt in October and we are assured of venison. Ross McKenney has promised wild boar and Sisson will furnish bear for those who want it. He has made this statement for several years and now has been challenged to either put up or shut up. We believe our august President is still raising pheasants, but he has been so busy with real estate deals in the vicinity of Candlewood Lake that we have not heard from him for months.
Early in November Ernie and Louise Kimball, with the Drakes, met Herb if DorothyAustin in Wellesley for a Chinese dinner followed by a showing of the reunion film at Herb Austin's home. A challenge by the writer to eat the meal with chop-sticks was met by a definite "no," so he, more or less, had to eat by himself, enjoying the food much more than if it had been contaminated by knives and forks. Kimball, the backslider, had lamb chops. Why can't a man get away from business? That guy even brings wool to the table. Anyway, it was a swell evening.
Among other recent visitors in Hanover were Al Richmond, Ev Barnard and Endersif Mrs. Voorhees.
Voorhees addressed the Great Issues course in the evening after previously having talked to the Tuck School, and remained the next day for the discussion period. We had hoped to get a more detailed report on his G.I. talk, but up to now it has not been received. However, we were told in Hanover that it was definitely outstanding. To quote one man, it was "simply terrific."
By this time you have all received your Class bills which will continue at $5.00 per year. As the next reunion will be in '54, your check for the full amount of $20.00 will be a big help to the Treasury as well as relieving Charlie Batchelder of much extra work.
It is reported that Charlie is deeply engrossed in the reorganization of what to him is a new business. He must be, as the writer, only three miles away, never sees or hears from him.
Offered this month, in our pictorial section, is the arrival of Luke Giles, our oil baron, who has just been discovered by Sisson. Remsen, back to, appears to be looking for a lost nickle.
News continues to be scarce. No mail no news! I am beginning to expect that I am at fault. Haven't been doing so well myself, lately, in writing letters and believe I'd better get on the ball. I am afraid that I have been too busy watching the local foot-ball team win its Class A State Championship. It left this morning for an inter-sectional game in Florida and for your information, there are two or three possibilities which we local Dartmouthers are doing our best to convince.
Anyway, it's the start of a New Year and with it goes the best wish of your officers. We hope that you will find an opportunity to get back to Hanover at some of the gatherings, or at least to some of those held throughout the year in the larger cities. Sno-bird gives the best opportunity and it's going to be a real party. Remember the dates, February 23, 24 and 25. In fact you might as well come up the 22nd and make a real weekend of it.
Secretary, 88 Sea Street, North Weymouth, Mass.
