To start out the new year I want to take this opportunity, on behalf of the entire Class, to express our deep appreciation to our loyal group of class widows, who so generously supported us in the 1960 Alumni Fund Drive. Almost one-third of the money contributed by 1906 was donated by this group. The names of the donors will be listed with our Class when the final results are published.
The Class will be interested to learn that Pauline Webster was recently married to Don Hungerford, a Yale man. Says she will still root for Dartmouth even though sitting on the wrong side of the field.
Bob Adriance spent the summer at his cottage in Corea, Maine, catching and eating lobsters. His daughter Jane and family of Ashtabula, Ohio, were with him part of the time.

Lorraine Edgerton has sent me an architect's drawing of the Edgerton Student Center, which is soon to be constructed next to the Episcopal Rectory on School Street in Hanover. This building, a gift from Lorraine and Halsey, will have a rumpus room in the basement and a large lounge and library on the first floor for the students. Also living quarters on the second floor for the assistant rector.
