1911

Members of 1911 are on the way to setting some kind of a record for traveling. For instance, Jack and Dorothy Steeves report from Australia, saying that weather and Australian scenery and hospitality are on a par with anywhere in the world. Perhaps they may meet Brad and Barbara Patten, who will shortly be en route for the same part of the world. Nothing has been heard from Dave and MaryHeald since their return from their round-the-world trip. Aubrey and Mary Butler were in England for the Coronation, and went to Norway and Sweden. Word from Helen Troy says that she is going to stay another year in Italy, where she has enjoyed every minute so far. She was much impressed with lovely Turin, as were we. She is going to North Africa and Madeira shortly. Her address is Arma di Taggia, Imperia, Italy.

Bill Hart has recovered from a short stay at home under doctors' orders, and is at Pinehurst with Louise by this time. They are contemplating a trip to Italy and other spots on the Continent in the future. Dick andMary Chase are off to Florida for the winter, but will return to their Cape Cod home in the early spring where Dick is having a wonderful time making furniture and so forth in his cellar. Troy Parker wrote on November 20 that they had already had eight inches of snow with fifteen above temperature, and that another blizzard was just being announced by radio. Hence they have headed for Louisiana and Corpus Christi and Brownsville for the winter. Troy speaks of the best summer they have had, which included a long visit from Mike Elliot '10 and wife, which made this their fourteenth summer with them. His son, Watson, is gradually taking over and relieving the old man, so he knows of no reason why he cannot make the next reunion. He said the only '11er arriving at the Gulch last summer was Jim Irwin's fine daughter, Helen, on her honeymoon. Troy and his son have just issued a fascinating booklet on the Black Hills and Palmer Gulch. Whether or not you are planning to visit Troy, you should read the book and you will get a kick out of the region and their treatment of it. The only piece of advice is, go before Troy takes the signs down in the fall or you may have difficulty finding him, as the lodge is so well concealed in a beautiful spot in the Hills.

Nat and Bee Burleigh will join the trek to Florida, but only for the Christmas vacation, and will have returned before you read these notes. Linda Hawkridge has left for the Barbados for a stay of two or three months. I've not heard anything to the contrary so I expect that George Morris is staying in Washington for a change. True Dudley has retired from his work with the Government at Picatinney Arsenal and is living in Warsaw, N. Y. "Sprin" Norris wrote of the Dedication of the Hockey Rink, when Dartmouth beat Harvard, "It was quite rejuvenating and nostalgic to sit behind the goalie and watch him defend the goal, and the whole team played a fine game. No longer will they have to depend on the vagaries of Hanover weather!"

We learned with sorrow of the death of George Dwinell on January 4. A recent issue of the New Hampshire Cancer News carried the following about him:

"At a luncheon meeting of the Officers and Board of Directors of the New Hampshire Cancer Society during the summer, the resignation of Dr. George F. Dwinell of Manchester as chairman of the executive committee was accepted with regret. ... He was presented with a citation in recognition of his many years of valuable service to the state as a physician and cancer specialist and his leadership in the New Hampshire Cancer Society. The presentation was made by Arthur Healey of Portsmouth, vice president."

In the November 15 issue of the PalmBeach Post-Times there is a picture of a finelooking young man by the name of RobertH. Sanderson. This accompanied an interview with one of the leaders at Palm Beach. Here are some excerpts:

"Robert H. Sanderson some fifteen years ago left behind him in New England a life devoted to business and politics, only to find that in South Florida his hobbies and outside interests would provide plenty of activities to keep him busy.

"At present he is president of the Sailfish Yacht and Beach Club and chairman of the Palm Beach Playground Commission. In war years he served as chairman of Palm Beach's ration board. He has been president of the Old Guard Society, is the newest addition to the Palm Beach Zoning Commission, and a member of the Palm Beach Civic Assn.

"The Sanderson family, which also includes Mrs. Sanderson and two boys, returned from their summer home in Pittsfield, N. H., in time for the latter to enter St. Ann's and for Mr. Sanderson to complete details for the recent opening of the Sailfish Club.

"The honor he probably treasures most was that of being chosen to head the community's oldest organization, the Old Guard Society.

"Following graduation from Dartmouth in 1911, he was engaged for years as an industrialist, in structural steel and then with a supply house in Cambridge, Mass., later in dairying at his summer home, Pittsfield, N. H. He was in politics in Waltham, Mass., serving on the school committee, the city council and in the New Hampshire Legislature. The family moved here from Waltham in 1938, still summer at Pittsfield."
