"OUGHTY EIGHT UP"

Come one, come all in fifty eightCome thin or fat, gay or sedate,Come, bring your memories, let them runBack to the days when all was fun.Come live again in happy veinWhere fellowship is there to reign.

This year is the semi-centennial of our graduation from Dartmouth. Now, we are talking in centuries or fractions thereof. Big doings are planned for our 50th in June which, please note, is only three months away. Make plans now to be there. It is not safe to wait until the 100 th. Something might happen! Already, more than 70 classmates have indicated that they will be there plus wives and children numbering 60. Wow! Look 'em over. There's more to come. Those '08ers who have responded at the first call are listed as follows: Alden, Barnes, Batchelder, Blakely, Blanpied, Blodgett, Chelsey, Cogswell, Comstock, Cowee, Crosby, Warren Currier, Danforth, Dunn, Emery, English, Everett, Fine, Fiske, Furman, Gleason, Greenwood, Griffin, Hale, Hammond, Harriman, Hinman, Hobart, Hopkins, Irish, Jordan, Knox, Lanphear, Art Lewis, Mason Lewis, Lowe, Lyon, McElwain, Mann, Miller, Morrissey, Munkelt, O'Shea, Parkinson, Pease, Perkins, Richardson, Rogers, Rugg, Ruggles, Alva Rutherford, Soule, Squier, Stearns, Stone, Symmes, Tappan, John Thompson, Phil Thompson, Bob Thompson, Thorpe, Treadway, Wiley, Winslow, Wood, Woodward and Wyman.

Word has been received of the death of John Detlefsen which occurred in Staunton, Va., on December 20. Jack had attained national prominence as a researcher, writer and teacher, with a list of degrees and honors of great length, on Sociological and Biological subjects which are detailed in another column. He was one of our really famous classmates who did honor to his Class and College. His passing is a great loss to the scientific world as well as to the Class.

Good news is received from Hartwell Harriman, whose new address, please note, is now 238 Mountain Road, Manchester, Conn. Hartwell has made complete recovery from an ailment which had been bothering him for many months and which, those who were at the 49th will remember, kept him sub rosa for the whole two days. He says, "I'll see you at the goth."

Fred Copeland has an article on ski areas in the January number of American Forests entitled, "Will the Snow Shoe Join the Ski?" The suggestion is made that devotees of the sport who like to watch skiing can have added pleasure and exercise in watching the fun on snow shoes. A splendid idea for us old fellows who are too brittle to ski.

Earl Wiley in the news again. Governor O'Neill of Ohio has recently appointed Earl as Chairman of Ohio's Abraham Lincoln Sesquicentennial Commission. He has also been appointed as visiting lecturer at the State University Teachers' College at New Paltz, N. Y„ for the spring semester.

New addresses include: Joseph Blakely, 11 Winter St., Montpelier, Vt.; Chester Nichols, Pinewood Lane, Duxbury. Mass.; Hartwell Harriman, 238 Mountain Rd., Manchester, Conn.; and a correction for Royal Carter, whose address should read Jagna, Bohol, Philippine Islands.
