"Doc" O'Connor's 1912 party in the Embassy Room of the Hotel Diplomat, Holly-wood, Fla., this past April was most successful and was enjoyed by Hazel, Betty Ann and Bee O'Connor as well as the Al Smiths, the Bill Lockes, the Ken Fosters, the Chet New-combs, the Bud Hobans, Mrs. Dick Plummer, Ben Adams and Mert Baker. Some of these '12ers hadn't seen each other since graduation. Bud Hoban said a most pleasant feature of the evening was a background of recorded Dartmouth songs by the Dartmouth Band which played thruout. It must have been a bang-up affair.
From the Long Island Press, Jamaica, N. Y., quote: "Richard Remsen o£ Garden City, L. I., was elected president of the Nassau Hospital Association's Board of Directors at their annual meeting in Mineola. Remsen, senior partner in a Manhattan law firm, is a graduate of Dartmouth College and the Columbia Law School." Congratulations, Dick.
