1929

At the Princeton game in Hanover, we spotted the following classmates - Bill Andres, Fred Armstrong, Dick Barrett, Nat Barrows, Duke Barto, Al Bellerose, Trunkie Brittan, Chris Born, Johnnie Calver, Bing Carter, Don Childs, Ed Chinlund, Dick Danforth, Johnnie Davis, John Dickey, Phil Dinsmore, Bill Dodge, Charlie Dudley, Phi Fitzpatrick, Ed Fowler, Jack Gunther, Mo Heath, Jack Hubbard, Johnnie Hubbard, Ed Jacobitti, Mort Jaquith, Dick Johnson, Charlie King, Larry Lougee, Bob Monahan, Art Nighswander, Dud Orr, Nick Panoras, Inches Pierce, Cart Strickland, Neil Tucker, Gus Wiedenmayer, Walt Wilson, and Woodie Woodbridge. Undoubtedly, there were others, but this is the extent of our dimming vision and photographic memory. We drove up from Winchester in the morning, arriving in Hanover at about tenthirty. The crowds were gathering in the vicinity of the Inn and Hopkins Center. The air tingled with excitement and hawkers were busily selling green and orange balloons. We met and chatted with Dinny andNeolene Dinsmore who had just arrived from a vacation trip in Canada. While inspecting the merchandise in Campion's, we glimpsed Dick Johnson doing much of the same. After a quick visit to the galleries in the Center, we again joined the throbbing excitement of the crowds on the campus. The ground was still warm from the bonfire of the night-before. Students poured out of classes in Dartmouth Hall. We joined Johnnie and Virginia Davis on the lawn of the observatory for a delightful picnic lunch. We were surrounded by '24s who make it their custom to meet and break bread in the College Park before each home game. This simple and informal plan provides for a jolly get-together amidst beautiful scenery.

Soon, the bands were playing and we were in Memorial Field seeking our allotted seats (the Class made the 50 yard line), exchanging greetings with our seat mates, Duke and Horty Barto, Trunkie and RuthBrittan, Mort and Peggy Jaquith, Walt andMarion Wilson, Johnnie and Marion Hubbard,Johnnie Calver, Al and Gertrude Bellerose, and Bill Dodge and his daughter, "Sina," and viewing the warm-up of the teams with great expectancy. And then the roof fell in as a great Princeton team proceeded to score touchdowns to the dismay of the Dartmouth rooters. We were proud, however, that our team went down fighting to the end. It was a subdued crowd that wended its way back to the environs of the Inn and campus. Automobiles thronged the exits of Hanover and then all was quiet. We stood on the corner and chatted with BillAndres, Chris and Jane Born, and Cart andMolly Strickland. We revisited Hopkins Center where we met Nick Panoras and his mother. And then we, too, headed for the exits.

Cart and Molly Strickland have announced the engagement of their daughter, Cynthia, to G. Ellison Manning Jr., of Denver, Colo. Cynthia and her fiance expect to receive their degrees from the University of Colorado in February. Ellison is a golfer but he will have to look to his laurels when he tangles with his future mother-in-law. She has won the President's Cup three years in a row.

Richard Risley Finlay, son of Al andLucy, became the groom of Charlotte Baird Williams deep in the heart of Texas on September 12. The bride is a graduate of the University of Texas. Richard is an alumnus of Dartmouth.

Proc Martin has been appointed assistant professor of psychology and education at Norwich University. Proc comes to Norwich from St. Andrews School in Boca Raton, Fla., where he was the Headmaster. He is now residing with family in Williamstown, Vt.

John Dickey is the editor of a symposium published by Prentice-Hall and entitled, "The United States and Canada." The purpose of this project is to promote better understanding of the two societies.

Frank Kenison presided recently as chairman of the Conference of Chief Justices held in New York.

Art Nighswander, past president of the New Hampshire Bar Association and prominent Republican, has been named to head the New Hampshire Citizens for Johnson and Humphrey. The latter are Democrats, are they not?

By the time that you read these notes, great decisions will have been made. Your exalted executive committee will have met in Bing Carter's Motel and, as a result of its deliberations, the course of the Class of 1929 will be fixed for the year. Steady as you go!
