1926
There seems to be some question as to whether Hollywood or San Francisco is the farthest from Hanover. At the June reunion, Bob and Gappy Williams were named the longest trip prize winners for their double round trip from Hollywood. But, take a look at your map of the United States which may show that Ritchie and Betty Smith traveled as far, and perhaps farther in their trip to Hanover and return. And, certainly an honorable mention to Frank and AliceAppleton for that long trek from Pasadena.
—n viv xj win jl ciocxva^iia. Since the date of our Memorial Service held in the White Church in Hanover on June 12, death has taken three more of the members of the class, Stephen H. Mil-lard died suddenly in Switzerland on June 19, Chester A. Morton died in New York City, June 20 and Leonard O. Hadley died in Concord, N. H., July 14. “In Memoriam” notices appear in this or a subsequent issue of the Alumni Magazine.
At the same time, we wish to note here the death of Mrs. Grace Hawley Harwood, mother of our Class Chairman, Hub Har-wood. Mrs. Harwood died on July 15 at the age of 85 years. She was survived by her sons, Hub and Robert P. Harwood, and four grandchildren and two great-grand- children.
The traditional August “informal” reun- ion, although attended by a relatively small number, was none-the-less a mighty pleasant affair. Following our official June class re- union by only two months, the August in- formal brought ten of the class together for a very pleasant weekend. Cocktails late Fri- day afternoon were followed by dinner on the Inn terrace. Saturday noon, Ed andPeggy Emerson graciously entertained and provided a sumptuous buffet luncheon. DonNorstrand and Ed Emerson entertained us all by their long story of the black bear which visited them the night before. Satur- day night all gathered at Keene’s in Etna for the traditional bowl of good cheer, fol- lowed by a delightful picnic with all the trimmings.
Those present at the August “informal” were Hub and Det Harwood, Hal and Mar-ion Marshall, Sid and Barbara Hayward,George and Peg Algar, Charlie and HelenMcKenna and their Nigerian exchange stu- dent Ethelbert, Bob and Ruby Carr, Edand Peggy Emerson, Don Norstrand, Kenand Helen Weeks and Helen’s brother, Bud Sparrow, and Dick Mandel.
We all owe Reg Hanson a sincere and abundant thanks for his wonderful accom- plishment by again bringing our class over the top in the Alumni Fund, and to each man in the class who helped to produce more than our goal of $38,850. The College is most grateful.
Fall weather brings football get-togethers for many of us. For the Hanover home games, Pennsylvania on October 6, Holy Cross on October 20, and Columbia on No- vember 10, bring your picnic lunch to the Bema where 1926 will gather at 12:30. For the Brown game at Providence on October 13, Walt Rankin advises that picnic lunch facilities including box lunches will be provided in the Dartmouth Club tent ad- joining the Brown gymnasium across the street from the football field.
In Cambridge on October 27, Dartmouth 1926 will gather for a buffet luncheon at 11:30 A.M. at The Smith House, 500 Memorial Drive, on the north bank of the Charles River; then take the 1926 special chartered launch up the Charles River to the Harvard Boat Club, and return via the water route after the game. This solves both the picnic lunch and parking prob- lems. These 1926 luncheons have been held regularly since 1933, and this year we celebrate the beginning of the second decade of Charles River cruises to the Harvard Stadium. Reservations for luncheon and the boat trip should be made early with DonNorstrand, 9 Gammons Road, Waban, or at Long’s Jewelers, 40 Summer Street, Boston.
In New Haven on November 3, HarryFisher suggests a gathering around the 1926 banner shortly before game time on the grass area between portal #3O and the fence. (Those who wish to have picnic lunch there should plan on 12:30.)
