1927

Secretary, Pine Hill Farm, West River Rd., Perrysburg, Ohio

Treasurer, Apt. 10C, 3908 N. Charles St., Baltimore 18, Md.

Bequest Chairman,

When the last column was being written, on the day after the rest of you had left Hanover last June, in a little cubbyhole assigned me by Charlie Widmayer in Crosby Hall, it seemed like a long time before I would have to get back to work in the fall. But all good things come to an end, including the too short vacations of class secretaries, and the season for class notes is again upon us. The reunion to which we all looked forward for five long years is but a pleasant memory. However, those of you who read the report of the reunion in the July issue of the MAGAZINE will remember that there was mention of instituting an annual gathering of the Class of 1927, and that it was hinted that the first of these gatherings might be held this fall, somewhere in the vicinity of Hanover, with arrangements to be made by a committee under the chairmanship of Bill Cusack. Latest reports, at the time this is being written, are that the fall reunion will definitely be held, though plans are necessarily fairly sketchy at the moment. The latest dope from Bill is that we will gather either at the Norwich Inn, well known to all of you, or at Bonnie Oaks, about 25 miles north of Hanover, on the weekend of October 11 and 12. The dates are definite, though the final decision on the meeting place is dependent on the number who plan to attend. This is the weekend of Dartmouth Night, and of the Brown game, which should provide sufficient attraction for anyone. There is no formal program planned, as the committee feels that such a gathering should permit everyone to do just what he or she wants to, but there will be at least plans for cocktails and dinner on Friday evening, and some arrange- ments will be made for all of us to be together at the game. This will definitely be a family gathering, with wives and children urged to attend.

The printing and mailing schedule of the MAGAZINE, to say nothing of the vagaries of the Post Office Department in the delivery of second-class mail, will determine whether you read this before or after the event has taken place, but I am sure that you will have been well briefed on the final plans long before this either through the Speak or by special mailings. At the present writing it looks as though anyone who can get there is in for a great treat. If you find at the last moment that you can make it, come - I'm sure that there will be room for all, even though you haven't made advance reservations.

A letter from Steve Osborn explains his absence from reunion. After struggling for the past several years with falling prices for beef and rising prices for feed, Steve made up his mind that someone else could take care of raising the nation's food supply, and joined the Minneapolis office of Batten, Barton, Durstin and Osborne as an account ex- ecutive. The new job made it impossible for him to get away during June.

Jack Roe also explains his absence. After sixteen years with McHutchinson and Co., a wholesale florist firm in New York, Jack left them a year ago to avoid having to follow them from his beloved Long Island to New Jersey, and set himself up as a public accountant, so that he has to go where and when there is accounting to be done. Unfortunately, just at the time he should have been in Hanover, there was a job to be done in Boston. Jack is a grandfather, by virtue of a grandson presented by his daughter Sue, who is living in San Antonio, with her husband, Jim Walker, stationed at Kelly Field. Jack's second daughter Virginia, is working in a bank in Garden City, and the youngest, Alice is a sophomore in Garden City High School.

Curt Wright is attempting to fill his time as Professor of Law at Temple University, lecturing at School of Dentistry on "Dental Jurisprudence," practicing law, doing a little legal writing, and acting as Special Hearing Officer for the U. S. Department of Justice. He is developing a course in "Judicial Proof" and is planning to make a trip to Harvard Law School this fall in connection with this project. Curt would doubtless be glad to hear from any of you who might have any odd jobs to help take up the slack.

Frell was a member of the Ipswich Firemen's team in the league in the 205. Frell was the speaker at the luncheon, telling of his work with his people at the reservation at Fort Hall, Idaho.

Al Bliss was honored, on the occasion of his thirtieth anniversary as a member of the home staff of the National Life Insurance Co., with a dinner party at which sixteen of his associates were hosts. Al joined National Life upon graduation from Dartmouth, starting in the actuarial department, and is now supervisor in the secretary's department policy writing division. He and his wife, Eva, have two sons, Chandler, who is a senior at St. Lawrence University, and Stephen, a senior in the Montpelier, Vt., high school. Al has served two terms as secretary of the National Life Recreation Association, and is secretary-treasurer of the Montpelier board of park commissioners.
