1908

Retracing our steps to the Harvard game at Hanover, the result of which you may have heard: - General Knox and I went and returned on the special train, and a very convenient way to go it is. Until we got to Hanover we saw no other awtaters but were chaperoned by Grebbie, Bill Sanborn and BillSmart of one of the older classes. C.B.S. televised the whole game from a temporary station atop Mt. Ascutney, at a cost, we are told, of $50,000. It was shown throughout New England from Manchester and Providence stations, the two big Boston stations being busy with less important games.

You should have seen the mobile televising camera mounted on one of Art Lewis' electric trucks as it moved in front of the grandstand throughout the game. They had brought the truck unbeknown to Art who was as surprised as anyone. And was he sore? Nope.

Bill and Leila Knight had been in Hanover for a week. Art and Naomi Lewis were guests of Art and Pauline O'Shea, who served meals from the trunk of their auto. Howard Cowee and Jack Everett were there, and I dare say, others whom we could not find as the seating was all mixed in both stands.

At the Inn I met Charlie Walker who told me - and you - to get hold of a November issue of Coronet in which there is a heart-warming story of our own late "Greetings" Norton, which tells of his wonderful work with boys during his career as principal of a high school in St. Paul. It seems that he had developed a national reputation for understanding and training of hard-to-handle boys. Thought you'd want to know about it. As for the Yale game the following week, I do not feel that I am called upon to make any comment.

In the roster of recent retirements from the Boston School department - 56 in all - RoscoeG. Frame heads the list, for which information we have Jack Everett to thank. That's the way to get the news, boys. Send it in.

We all know John Thompson as a lawyer, but did you know that he is a Master of the Brush as well? Earlier this year John was chairman of the art exhibition of the Bar Association of New York, which consists of those members of the bar who paint as an avocation and annually get together to show their various paintings. John had four of his paintings on exhibition and Larry Symmes, who saw them, said that they were wonderful. While he only practices law, he is a finished painter.

We have more news of Stan Tappan which is contained in a note from Ruth to ArtLewis. In it she says:

"Stan is getting better but very slowly. He had a ruptured artery. They take a blood count every day. It is clearing some but is taking longer than usual. He sits up in a wheel chair for half-hour periods morning and afternoon. Though he eats hardly anything, he is in good spirits. This is a lovely hospital, everyone very kind. I have a room nearby and spend all my time here."

Guess a few notes from the boys addressed to the Cape Cod Hospital, Hyannis, Mass., would be welcomed, but let's hope that Stan is out of there by the time you read this.

Post Card Department: The writer wishes to acknowledge, in the name of the class, receipt of post cards from Art Soule who, with Juliett, was attending, of all things, the Lafayette game in Hanover. Say, that's a purty good lookin' campus, ain't it? Another came from our international traveler, LarrySymmes. The card shows a society watering place on the Dalmatian coast of Yugoslavia, a beautiful place with boys and girls and everything. Gosh. Looks like Mike and AnnisStearns are going to be busy this November. Their son John is to be married in Palm Beach, Fla. Boys will be boys.

Guess that's it for now. I'm not supposed to make news, but only report it, and let me say that with this issue, goes my last news, for I haven't a thing held back. What'll we do about it?
