1908

A posthumous salute to "Greetings" Norton. His remarkable work as head of a high school in St. Paul has been previously written up in a magazine article. It remained for the Dupont Company to televise a play, "The Man from St. Paul," based upon it on the Dupont Theater of the Air, January 29. It was a splendid showing, depicting his specialty - the sympathetic handling of delinquent boys with remarkable results — for which he was famous and for which he became a national figure. I hope that you saw it. We are indebted to Charlie Fay for advance notice of the occasion which we broadcasted

Via Harry Harriman and General Knox we have interesting news of Ev Marsh, the grandson of our own of the same name. A half page write-up, together with pictures, tells of his remarkable basketball ability at Clearwater High School. In a recent game he broke records by scoring 46 points on his own. His picture seems to be almost a duplicate of his grand-dad. Harry says that he could get a scholarship in any southern college, but he has chosen to go to Florida State. We could use him at Hanover but anyway he won't be in the Ivy League.

Fred Hodgson writes from Verona, N. J., and advises that the Class baby is now a maintenance engineer in a Paterson factory. He goes on to say, "Each year I think of retiring but my work is so fascinating and I am so sure of the good it is doing that I keep on, merely relaxing a little each year. Perhaps I shall let up and use some of the many invitations to visit' clinical centers from Palestine to Australia which I have on file. The latest is from Bogota, S. A. If I retire or if I can get away I shall surely see you in Hanover in 1958."' Fred's business letter is headed "Fine Pollens."

Win Griffin writes from "The Jungle" at East Orleans, Mass., that he saw Hobie Hobart a few months ago at the Glenclilf Sanitarium, Glencliff, N. H., and that he seems to be getting along O.K. There's no doubt that letters from the boys would be welcome. Don't forget it. How about right now?

The globe trotting Mike Stearns has a busy schedule. On January 28 he drove to Florida where he will cruise about Florida waters with a friend in a 38-foot cruiser. Following that, he will be at Vero for a few weeks before dashing back home to pack up for a five-week cruise to Europe. On his return it will be time for him to be in Hanover for the reunion. He then returns to Long Island for the summer where he divides the time between the water and the rocking chair. Oh well, boys will be boys.

Larry and Dorothy Symmes leave March 29 for a South American cruise which is nothing new to them as they are so often on the move.

The Class will be interested in a letter which Art Soule received from the President. As it is self-explanatory we will simply quote it as follows:

##January 1, 1957

DEAR MR. SOULE:

I cannot tell you how delighted Mrs. Eisenhower and I are with the charming petit point picture of our Gettysburg farmhouse. It is truly a work of art, and much admired by our family and friends. (Incidentally, the frame is perfectly chosen to fit in with the furnishings of our home.)

In later years the picture will be treasured, I know, by our children and grandchildren, as it presently is by Mrs. Eisenhower and me. Some time I hope to have the opportunity to thank you in person for the many hours of work that you devoted to the project; meantime, please be assured of my warm and deep appreciation, in which Mrs. Eisenhower joins.

I trust that you and Mrs. Soule will have a good winter in the beneficial Florida climate.

With best wishes and many thanks, Sincerely,

Another classmate leaves us. The Barre (Vt.) Times reports the death of Bob Chedel who has been for many years a patient of the Brattleboro Retreat. A letter from Joe Blakely, giving the news, tells also that he and Fred Munkelt represented the class at the funeral, which was held in Randolph, January 25.

Haven't had any grandfather scores for some time. Perhaps it's time to record Larry Treadway's latest score of eighteen grandchildren. Anybody want to raise him?

If you didn't particularly notice the story of The Dartmouth Educational Association in the last issue of this magazine, dig it up and read it again. It is doing wonderful work by loaning worthy students money to continue their courses when they otherwise could not do so. It is a revolving fund which is reloaned as repaid. The dues are only $10.00 per year. There are 1120 members, but there ought to be many more. Since the war over $107,000 has been loaned to 315 men. Our class has only a handful of members. This is just a reminder that you would like to help this worthy Dartmouth cause.
