1929
A '29 Dinner was held at the Dartmouth Club in New York City on November 2, 1962, the evening before the Yale game. The committee in charge were Ray Hedger, Chairman, Paul Jameson and Bob Ramage. Present were Bill and Kay Andres, Rusty Ayers, Herb and Joan Ball, Chris and Jane Born, John and Virginia Cornehlsen, Bud and Lynn Foulks, Jack and Gerry Gunther, Russ Goudey, Mo and Bernice Heath, Ray and Dot Hedger, Paul and Mary Jameson, Bill McCaw, Frank Middleton, Ginter Pratt, Bob and Statia Ramage, Herb Simpson, Dobson Smith, Jerry and Marjorie Swope, John Thompson, Nick and Joyce Vincent, Walter and Marion Wilson, Joe and Georgina Webb, Woody and Janet Woodbridge. Mo Heath was the Master of Ceremonies and, from all reports, he was tremendous. As a result, everybody had an uproarious time. Movies of the 30th Reunion were shown and, of all things, there was a film of 1930's Old Timers' Day. Russ Goudey exhibited his old skill on the piano and JohnCornehlsen led the singing. Bill Andres rendered a report on the Fall Reunion and the Executive Committee meeting and then yielded the floor to Jack Gunther, who reminded all hands to prepare their wills. It is his hope that the memory of Dartmouth will be deeply inscribed in such documents. In spite of Jack's sombre reminder, or perhaps because of it, everybody ate, drank, and was merry. Ray Hedger and his committee are to be commended for organizing such a wonderful party. It was, indeed, a happy occasion. They have started something. We are looking forward to next year's party in New York.

Woody Woodbridge informs us that Panos Georgopulo, Adonis of the eateries, has tired of "his excesses," and has established "Le Pigalle," a new restaurant on Pennsylvania Avenue, four blocks from the White House. Woody advises: "Let those who have pined since the passing of Panos from the helm at Napoleon's (which he sold to take up avant hedonism) take new heart and an even firmer grip on the wallet." The report is that Panos has a new twist that could fracture the world of the gastronome - with the two dollar lunch you get readings in Zen. The martini is still a pallid six-to-one but, nevertheless, a Twenty-Niner is a cinch for at least one on the house. As an added attraction, a patron has a good chance of rubbing shoulders with Barto, Clow and Johnson.
Here's wishing yon all a Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday season.
Secretary, 10 Cranston Road Winchester, Mass.
