1919
The big 1919 event for early 1952 is the annual Father and Son dinner. Staged this year again by Jack McCriUis, Max Norton and BillMcCarter, it will be held on Saturday evening. March 8. On that day there is a swimming meet and a basketball game with Columbia, a track meet with Brown and possibly a hockey game. All the fathers and sons will receive special notices from Jack, but it is urged that any of the class who can arrange to be in Hanover at this time, plan to attend this fine party. Adele Ives has set aside 10 double rooms at the Inn for the papas and mamas attending, and Jeanette Gill will have a fine dinner all set for Saturday night.
Listed below are the sons of '19ers in the College, along with the proud fathers-Father Son YearGlendon A. Fuller Christopher B. '51 James H. Wright Alan F. '51 Frederick A. Blanpied George D.

A brief note from Cliff Hayes acknowledges his birthday greetings from the class and says that he is "still hopeful that we can get together sometime soon for lunch." That goes for the Sec. also, Cliff, and if there was a little advance notice, we might be able to get a few of the aging '19ers together. (The Sec. just had a birthday also.)
News notes on '19 sons,—Jack Reilly turned in a fine job as quarterback on the JV team, Chet Gale Jr. got his numerals in Freshman Soccer, Ranny Hayes his numerals in Freshman Football.
A couple of letters from two old friends of freshman days were very pleasing to the Sec. The first from John Stokes of Corpus Christi, Tex., whose letterhead mentions geophysics and engineering. John states that, "Although many years have passed since Beetle told us all about 'sarkles' and their relationship to analyt, I had no idea that you had changed as much as 'your picture' on the card which I received yesterday. The only things that I can really recognize as part of the George Rand of that day are perhaps the stein and the book. On the other hand, I can see the resemblance of old Eleazar in the lower right hand corner of the card. At least I can recognize that part of Eleazar that I used to follow around the campus when I was making sure that Jake Barnes (note: do you mean Bond, John?) would not be hurt. .. ."
It was great to hear from you John and do it again soon.
The other welcome letter was from WalterS. (Budge) Aylsworth, now residing in Hanover, N. J. Budge writes, "Many thanks for your kind remembrance on my birthday.... I thoroughly appreciate it and feel like a heel that I haven't written you before now. After quite a little moving around during the past 25 years, I am now back in my home state and living in Hanover, no less! Am with the Suburban Propane Gas Corp., working out of their headquarters, Whippany, N. J.... Ido not get to New York very often, but would certainly like to see you as well as the other fellows again. I see Bren (Art Brentano) fairly often as he lives close to the territory I travel. ..." Thanks for your nice letter, Budge, and we will expect you at the next class dinner in New York.
Johnnie Chipman, piano player of note and Navy retread, writes as follows: "Thank you very much for the Dartmouth birthday card for my 55th reminder. It proves more and more it is later than we think.
"I have been fortunate to get up to Dartmouth several times this summer and fall and it does something to one to roam again the auld sod.
"Living deep in the country, with all the chores it entails, Mildred and I have gone out of circulation except locally, but it doesn't mean we have forgotten the old crowd. It is interesting to note how many others are quitting the urban life and coming down to the country. The South Shore-Dartmouth Club is definitely growing in numbers and strong in its association, thanks to the younger blood setting the pace for the older classes."
Jack Ross of 5029 SW Humphrey Blvd., Portland, Ore., writes a nice letter: "The remembrance certainly is appreciated. It came a day or so after my birthday and Doris was sure I wouldn't get" one because I failed to acknowledge the card the year before. I'm not sure that I did fail although probably I did.
"Dartmouth is a little bit away from my close attention, located as I am out here in Oregon, but I read the ALUMNI MAGAZINE each time and all the other news of the College that might happen to appear in our newspapers. There are never any adequate accounts of football games but if the team does well against Princeton tomorrow I will buy a New York paper and get the whole story.
"I expect to leave here tomorrow night, flying to Washington, D. C., to appear before the Office of Price Stabilization regarding ceiling prices for Frozen Foods. Will be there only a couple of days and then back to Portland.
"My family has increased since a year ago with a grandson born last September 25 to my younger daughter Norma, who now resides in Spokane, Wash. She is married to an Orthopedic Doctor who is practicing in that city. Nancy already has two girls, one 4!/2 years and the other 1 1/2 years. They live in Corvallis, Ore., the home of Oregon State College. This is my second Alma Mater as both of the girls graduated from there and I have to have a football team I can cheer for in person once in awhile."
Another classmate from whom we haven'theard in a long time comes through in thefollowing from Lou Cody, prominent Cleveland realtor: "Your Smoke Signal was an excellent and interesting letter. I was enormously sorry to miss the party. Had planned on it but family affairs in Chicago took Jane there over that weekend. In spite of that I intended to go, however a real estate deal that I had worked on for some time came to a head and barred my going to Woodstock and Hanover. It must have been a dandy party.
"The small '19 get-together in Detroit for the Michigan game and at Raibles in 1950 was loads of fun.
"Saw Norm Jeavons yesterday. He also was sorry to miss it. He is looking for a new house, therefore I hope to find one for him.
"I wish I were in a business that took me to New York occasionally—it would be great to see so many of you who live in that vicinity. We do go to Cape Cod in the latter part of the summers but naturally rush along the northern route through Albany. See Pete Grey there every summer and a good many other Dartmouth people.
"Hope this Christmas season finds you well and happy. We have our son Bill at home as he is working out of Cleveland. That makes the prospect of a gay Christmas very bright for us."
Many thanks to John, Jack and Lou for the ammunition to keep the class posted on what '19ers are doing. Your Sec. will try to get out another Smoke Signal soon, with additional news on other classmates and their families, so keep the letters coming.
