1908

Happily this canto is free from any new known casualties or illnesses. It further reports the continued improvement of Dr. Bert Thorpe, formerly sojourning at the Mary Hitchcock Hospital, which is pleasing contrast to the news of some recent issues.

A note from Don Frothingham in San Francisco, who remained there long enough to write it, tells of a triangle luncheon with Larry Symmes and Dick Danlorth recently. Webb Evans and Dolly Gray couldn't make it. He says that Dick concedes official retirement as top "Anchor Man" but goes right on inventing new things from a book which he calls "Par Bridge" to a new electric cart for lazy golfers. All we need now is an electric driver and a man will be able to play golf without any exercise whatever. Personally I'm working on a cigarette that is all filter!

Through the thoughtfulness and courtesy of Jack Childs '09, members of our class will receive in due time a copy of the pictorial section of the '09 Fifty Year Book. Being our neighboring class, the '09 pictures will be almost as familiar as our own. It's a fine job and you'll like it.

This is being written as I prepare to leave this lovely spot, Vero Beach, where I have been for three months (i.e. when I get my laundry back). I have one story left, that of a cocktail party given by Harold Brown '14 and his good wife Martha at their beautiful home here, they having become transplanted about three years ago. They gathered the Dartmouth crowd together, added a few more for flavor and we had a ball, including everything for the alimentary canal. Among the Dartmouth contingent present were the following: (Where the figure 2 is included it means a wife; 3 or more means daughters or sons) Clark '01, Dow '02 (2), Johnson '04 (2), Rogers, Thwing, Knox, George Lowe (2), Lanphear (2), John Thompson (2), Phil Thompson (2), Treadway (2), Squier, Brown '14 (2), Main '14, Ham '20 (2), Clifford '22, Nourie '29 (3), Packard '25 (2), Chabot '27, Williams '49 (2). While not at the party but who had been here previously were Art Soule (2), Symmes (2), Kugler '35 (4), Schrodel '25 (2), and honorary '08 members, Al Perry and Brad Harwood (2). Look 'em over and note that Vero Beach is becoming the Hanover of the South.
