1918
Comes a surprise climax to our 35th: PhilEverett, recouping from a bout with illness, overhauled one of his musical compositions (written and copyrighted earlier) and now presents The '18 35th March, dedicated to the class to be presented to the College. Says Eddie Earle '17 ('18 honorary), "A brilliant march the kind Sousa might have written would be very inspiring when played by a good band." Has a vocal part too.
Rog Howland urges the class to sponsor a band arrangement for the presentation, so the College Band can let it right out over Main, East Wheelock, and clear to Balch Hill. Classmates who hear it and realize Phil's real achievement are enthusiastic for The '1835th March to be a regular feature of the Band's repertory. Rog Howland, Choir, Glee Club, and 1918 Chorister, has enjoyed his frequent visits with Phil since total disability mowed Phil down. He is happy to report Phil is now coming back strong.
Caroline and Chaunce Hood admired the beauty of the parkway coming down from upper N. Y. State the end of September and would have called on Pat and George Stoddard, if they'd known just where. Both had a delightful time around N. Y. City and taking in Dave Garratt's Navy cruise and football weekend.... The ton-of-coal-man, Eddie Emerson (to Hi Belding for the Ist class baby), wanted to be at Reunion with Bea, but .. daughter and three children are with us and leaving soon for Japan." Also par excellence prodder Reed Montgomery reported: "Jack Draper was glad I gave him a ring Herb Duffill too; Herb drives to Sanford, Me., every weekend, hopes to come over for the picnic never did the s.o.g.... What a wonderful time Ray Baldes and EmMorse had old schoolmates of Cambridge High and Latin school."

Minetta Morey, whose purse was snatched by a Puerto Rican in front of the 5th Ave. Flower Hospital, where Tobey was being surveyed, enjoyed 5th Ave. so much they've now moved to 860 —5th Ave., week- end at Garden City, big weekends in the Berkshires.
Saw Frank Clahane the day he threw his crutches away broke his ankle in April, phlebitis set in, damned if_ he doesn't look as virile now as John L. Lewis same bushy eyebrows had a wonderful time with Marion, visiting with Bettyand Hort Chandler in Concord, and enjoyed a nice visit with that stalwart, George Moulton Davis. ... Ruth Glover and three other girls had a couple of months in Europe; she missed trek to Hanover with Curt and Green Key son Johnnie who went up early before the opening of college. ...

Evelyn and Pete Colwell, who have generously supplied snapshots of all Dartmouth gatherings, enjoyed a delightful September week with friends on the Cape (for 35 years, Evelyn's Brownie box camera has recorded snapshots par excellence). Jack Storrs, Jay LeFevre, and Ev Young in the snapshot herewith certainly dispel the idea that "Aloha Delts never come back" They spoke of the pleasure they would have had at Reunion if only they could have seen Dick Aishton, PupsColie, Spud Richmond, Bob Fish, Don Snyder and others. What's this! Les Brown, from Cortland, N. y., ex-roomey of Clint Carvell, Ray Barrett,George Daniels, Bugs Wallace, reports being at the Inn with Mrs. Brown. Did you ever tell us vou were married, Les?... We have a new address for Herm and Tilly Whitmore at Laguna Beach Cal. Herm commutes a couple of times a Tear from N. Y.

Carlton G. Muggs has had his parole application turned down Carlton is in for forgery.... In the 1950 Alumni Directory, class of 1918 is in the first of an inch of the book _ brother! Dependable as the moon, the stars and the sun, New Rochelle's top stalwart is our George Moulton Davis. George has given most of his life for the betterment of New Rochelle. Last May, the newspapers showed George turning over the key to the new school, the George M. Davis Jr. Elementary School. A month later, his picture was spread again on the front pages of the newspapers, saying ". .. he begins his sixth 5-year Term on the School Board of which he is Past President 30 years of service"; and two weeks after that, "Rotarian of the Year, Dr. George Moulton Davis Jr., received the silver cup for his devotion to the community." The class salutes you, George (Dotty too), for your wonderful life of service.
Equally modest, at reunion, was Lang Rob-inson and Martha. Few realize that in Spring- field, 111., where Gene Clark has done an out- standing job, Lang has done an exceptional job with the business leaders of that com- munity as Pres. of the Chamber of Com- merce. ... Doc George McBride, De.s Moines, Mexico, wrote last year's Reunion Chrm. Steve Mahoney, that he wanted to be in Han- over to see dozens o£ his friends, Gerry Geran,Ned Ross, "and even a few '17ers, such as supervised Delta Alpha and outside fraternity initiation, when I spent from 9 p.m. to 4 a.m. on a nice, cold, Feb. night, counting the slabs in the old alumni oval fence, reporting faithfully each hour to Sumner Emerson '17, Don Fuller '17 and Rhodes. At Smith this year, my daughter made 21 hrs. of A, which is different from her old man. My wife Marywill certainly go back if and when Mary Frances graduates in a couple of more years."
Rev. Clint Carvell, Andover, Mass.: "Son Kenneth received a Doctor's degree in Forestry at Duke last June, and becomes Asst. Prof, in W. Va. U.

An outstanding newspaper is the Concord DailyMonitor and an outstanding Editor is James M.Langley. He wrote Steve Mahoney as follows: "Sorry to miss the 35th. June is just too busy for me this year. Besides a second family I'm raising kids of five, three and one my current civic chores are heavy and I'm trying to work in a week's fishing in Canada for a much needed rest. Next week we open bids on a new $3,000,000 hospital of which I am building committee chairroan. Have just been made chairman of a new industries organization for the area and have work to do on that. Can't crowd the calendar too much any longer if I want to be around for the 50th. Have to get my sleep and some time at physical labor on my hundred-acre hilltop farm to keep things in balance and mentally fresh enough to do my daily editorial stint on the state's best newspaper. Would like to get a squint at the President, whom I helped Sherm Adams to launch in politics in the famous N. H. primary last year." ... HowiePark just can't be beaten at his job nohow. He loves his work, making deals, hopping to Maine, Montana, California, South America. He organized the Real Estate Dept. of the huge Socony Vacuum the pipeline subsidiaries he organized also.... The class extends sympathy to Ray Hurley, Chairman of Board of the huge Thor Corp., on the loss of his brother, John, who was President.
Asst. V.P. Walt Nelson, of the half-billion East River Savings Bank, builds a fine repu- tation for himself. ... lone and Doc Wood-ruff, Joliet, Ill., ear-eye-nose-throat specialist, ex-roomey of successful Providence real es- tate man, George Arnold, Robbie Robinson Reminders, and Ray Smith, the CIA man, no longer professed at reunion to be the short lead and fudge sundae champion at the SAE house they purposely came back from a month and a half in Europe to be there at Reunion.... Says Paul Mather:"Marge and Eddie Butts helped Mary and me see 'Frisco and with them we had such a nice time particularly pleasant for us, and they are such inspired guides who love that city." Mary and Paul have six grandchildren now. "My best to Gerry Geran and all other '18ers." ... Mrs. Felix M. Woolworth, a generous booster of '18's Alumni Fund, had a most enjoyable trip last summer, through Victoria and the Rockies; will be in Florida this winter.
Reunion tidbits from Cort Horr: "Daughter Judy .saw Thelma and Jack Slabaugh's Ohio auto license 19 D 18, and noting the Ohio Sesquicentennial plates with 1803 on it, she guessed that was the year Jack was born; Doc Walters '17, of the Mayo Clinic, came to the '18 tent searching for Doc Curtis Tripp, and congratulated him on his appointment as Head of the Mass. Assn. of Surgeons. Kayand Jack Storrs were mighty welcome folks to see most interesting was Stew Teaze's account of his imprisonment in Japan for many months —60 days in solitary confinement with no chance to shave, etc. and how his faithful Jap valet brought him some things which prevented him from losing too much weight. Thelma and Jack Slabaugh, Janet and Jules Van Raalte, Marion and I enjoyed viewing his black Japanese prints done by a well known French artist." Thank you, Cort, for your generosity in giving us so many wonderful snapshots of the reunion.
Ann and Johnny Johnston had a busy summer Irene was in London for the Coronation and got home just in time to greet Doug with his three children from Kansas City, and Gordon, who had arrived on leave en route to Denver, but expects to be home Christmas, and Doug's first words on arriving from Kansas City were, "I saw Bill Montgomery who said that 'Dad of yours had more fun than anybody else at Reunion.'" Said Johnny "I had a good time —spent Thurs. night before reunion at Keene's with Evieand Pete Colwell. After that I never seemed to get any sleep I enjoyed Stew Teaze, SimeGordon, Eddie Butts, Eddie Felt, Cort Horr,Don Scully, Hubie McDonough, Tom Robbins and many others. Pleasant moments were spent with Em and Carol Morse, Alberta and Amos Blandin and an enjoyable cocktail party at Duke's. Sat. night in front of Streeter was very enjoyable, and the highlight was dancing on the grass in the wee hours with Pat Stoddard with Killer GeorgeStoddard providing most of the music, and an appreciative audience of three sitting together on a table, all sober as judges Gerry Geran,Swede Youngstrom and Ed Healy.
