1938

This is the month of Reunion ... June 20, 21, and 22 ... with all of the activity centered in Russell Sage. Come one; come all. Fun, friendship, and frolic are the order of the day. You still have time to make up your mind to be amongst the Amazing Class of 1938. We hope we'll see ya.

It's been a long time; or just yesterday, according to how you feel about it. Measured in terms of how the boys look and act, don't expect too much change. We were with the Reunion Planning gang a few weeks ago in Hanover: McLane, Tanis. Reno. Walls von Pechmann, Rand, Ward, Scotford, and Dawkms. It's a feisty group that looks pretty young . .. pretty, anyway. They have a wonderful program planned for the three days It's going to be so good that, after its success, you just won't be able to wait for the Fiftieth ... when you're 72, and lam too

Hanover is a great treat now. The new facilities will rock you. Reading about them is not enough. You've got to experience Hopkins Center; the Nervi-Leverone Field House and the general Hanover explosion that is pushing the campus closer to the surrounding hills.

This scribe will be winding up a term as Class Secretary with but one regret for the fine five years of service to you. Too much money raising has been mentioned in this column. At times, it may have overshadowed the purpose ... keeping us together as friends with a common love, Dartmouth College. It should have another purpose: to let you know that you are wanted and needed just for your friendship and your share of the great experiences we had in late boyhood in the 19305.

Once I felt this writer had failed on his job. A classmate wrote in that he wanted to be removed from the mailing list as his health and income were both down. This is not when we want to cut a man from the list . .. but add him. He will always be a classmate despite the fates of fortune's wheel, and we want him.

Colonel Herb Harries will be at reunion with the whole gang, including young Barbara, Bert, and Nancy. Ben Walkley got out of the Navy on May 1 and retired in Lovelon Bridge, Va., and will make the party. Dr. Bill Dennen will also be there; maybe with the kids: David, 21; Richard, 19; Anne, 16, and Mark, 10.

Ferrien Davis runs a chain of coin-operated restaurants in the Bay Area out San Francisco way. Warren Chivers will be opening a boys' camp in Canada reunion-time, but reports that the kids are well and makmg records on the snow boards.

Ole Grover Fox is back in Chicago, Apartment 1702 at 2901 South Park Way, Chicago 16. He will celebrate in Hanover with his father who will enjoy his 50th concurrently.

Bob Cheheyl's boy, Steve, has made the Class of 1967, and the old man is still off the ground. Dr. William R. Lansberg, Director of Libraries, Elmira College, has been named librarian of Hobart and William Smith Colleges, Geneva, N. Y.

Robb Kelley has made it big. He is President of Employers Mutual Casualty Company, Des Moines. Everett Wood is chief pilot of Ariana Afghan Airlines based in Kabul, Afghanistan.

Dick Francis is giving talks in New England on office communications methods. .. Ralph Van Orsdel manages a big hunk of the world-wide plantations for American Factors Inc. in that lovely new state, Hawaii. He won't make reunion as he just returned home from an extensive South American junket.

So, that's it for now. See you in a few weeks, God willing.

Secretary, 2945 Fairmount Cleveland 18, Ohio
