When contributing to the Alumni Fund in memory of Homer Harrington Brooks Mae Brooks wrote: "The 1912 Billboard is much enjoyed as are the ALUMNI MAGAZINES, it keeps me in touch with the men whose names my husband so often mentioned and who used to yell 'Honey' at him at the Dartmouth-Yale football games which we never missed."

Babe Hartshorn writes that the Roy Lewises and the Quechee Frenches spent the day with them in Lancaster, N. H., this summer. Babe has been doctoring in Hanover this year and missed out on their planned trip to New Mexico and Arizona last winter.
