1918

JUNE 15 - 46th REUNION — UP

The Class of '18 well can boast When we have these men to toast; Bill Montgomery, our '18 Chairman And Jake and Hubie, each a rare man: Herm Smith, who collects the treasure Which must be a doubtful pleasure; Stump Barr, who will feed the inner Hungry man at our Class dinner; Em Morse, Chairman of the tent,

Will keep the thirsty quite content; Tom Shirley, who will run the meetings, Gets, of course, our heartfelt greetings; Stan Jones, bless his ever loyal heart, Who as always takes his part, Is our skilled chairman of publicity; And then we toast, with some lubricity, Bob Fish, our chairman of ideas For aged classmates and their dears; Judge Amos Blandin, tours conducted, The cost of which can't be deducted; George Stoddard, in his field so good, His art work can be understood; Then upon a solemn note in truth We thank both Paul Miner and Ed Booth, With whose help and more We'll honor classmates gone before.

Do all of you Classmates, who are still on the fence as to whether you will come to Reunion or not, realize that you can pay all of your Reunion expenses and take home a satchel full of bills? All you have to do is to buy the winning New Hampshire Sweepstakes ticket, which can be obtained at any state liquor store, where you can buy up to 30 tickets at $3 each. The top prize for the winner is $100,000. There will be numerous other prizes, all of which would more than pay for your Reunion expenses. You had better come to Reunion, buy yourselves a winning ticket and take home the New Hampshire loot. It is just waiting for Out-Of-Staters.

Reed Montgomery challenges all comers to a championship game of golf on the Hanover Golf Course, on Wednesday afternoon, June 17, following the Sweepstakes Party Buffet Luncheon in . Alumni Hall, Hopkins Center.

The College has announced that Nineteen Eighteeners may hold their Mass. Row Dormitory rooms over Wednesday night, at the regular reunion rate of $3.50 per person.

We regret to advise that Dr. Peter J. Serafin passed away on February 4, after a month's illness of pneumonia. Jim and Lulu moved to a new home at 9 Pleasant Drive, North Haven, Conn., last September. Moving activities and his busy practice apparently affected his health, so that he didn't have the resistance to fight off an intensive attack of pneumonia.

Rudy Hesse passed away the day after the New York Annual Alumni Dinner. He became ill at the dinner and went home early. We have no other details concerning his final illness.

Tom Bryant's Class Agent team starts off with enthusiasm. The greatest help that you can be to them is to mail in your Alumni Fund gifts promptly. By doing so, you will save them work and in many cases save the College the cost of additional mailings soliciting your .gifts. Let's do them a big favor this year and give promptly!

Dartmouth College and the Class of 1918 are particularly proud of the fact that Ed Healey was selected to the Professional Football Hall of Fame. Ed will be officially inducted in the Hall of Fame at Canton, Ohio, on September 8, of this year, during formal ceremonies at halftime of the Annual Hall of Fame N.F.L. exhibition game played there. When Ed heard of his selection he is said to have remarked: "I am thankful to the Good Lord." Ed spent his first two professional seasons with Rock Island, and in 1922 played for the Bears. He became a 5-time all-pro linesman.

Cort Horr writes that he plans a trip to California in late April, but will be back ready to leave for Reunion in early June. He plans to take four to six weeks off and do the Reunion job correctly; taking in the New York City World's Fair afterwards; and seeing a lot of old-time places and friends in the East. More of our Classmates should make similar plans.

Dick White writes that he recently talked with Dave McCoy, who seems to be one of those fortunate persons who is enjoying retirement. Dave is spending his time reading, playing bridge, watching the best of TV; and his family making successes of their lives.

Larry Pope is still singing his basso pro-fundo with the Capital Singing Chorus of the Barber Shop Quarteters. He and Mary have recently returned from a vacation in Florida. Dick reports that both are hale and hearty; deeply concerned with their various hobbies and activities.

Clarence Opper and Lucy were at the Washington Dartmouth Alumni Dinner. Clarence is the second ranking judge on the Tax Court. This is proof of his outstanding success in tax matters. Clarence and Larry and their wives will be in Hanover in June. Dave, unfortunately, cannot make it. Dick could not reach either Don Bliss or JohnMcDonough, who work in the State Department and have unlisted telephones.

Guilford St. Clair lives in Rockville, Md. He is Chief Planning Engineer in the National Highway Planning Division of the Bureau of Public Roads. He has been associated with the Bureau for 39 years.

Al Gottschaldt writes that recently Gene Markey picked up a luncheon tab for a group of 18'ers, consisting of Syl Morey, Dan Shea, Howie Park, and Al. The Gottschaldts are planning to come to Reunion, and attend a family reunion in Massachusetts, with a brief visit to the New York World's Fair.

The Ernie Earleys have had a long vacation in Naples, Fla. They have seen quite a bit of Paul and Helen Miner, and had a visit from Stan and "Mo" Jones, who stopped by in a brand-new Cadillac. Chris and Catherine Christy spent their vacation in their favorite haunts in the Virgin Islands.

Lew and Helen Cousens have been visiting St. Petersburg, Fla. Although Lew is complaining about Florida weather, we notice that his sojourn gets longer and longer each year.

Sid Holbrook has been in the Keene, N. H., Hospital with emphysema recently. Hal and Adele Kendall left the Keene, N. H., winter weather to journey to Hawaii for the month of February.

Eddie Ferguson's nominating committee has completed their task and are ready to make their report at the class meeting to be held during Reunion.

Bill Dutelle, formerly Illinois Division of Highways Bureau Chief, has joined the staff of Homer L. Chastain & Associates, Decatur consulting engineers. In his new position he will be in charge of the firm's street and road programming services.

Ray Smith writes from Cairo, Egypt: "Last October Bonnie and I came out here after the State Department delegated to ARCE the responsibility for supervising the large number of archaeological projects and activities in other fields of scholarship by various American universities." Ray could not turn down ARCE's request to go to Egypt as its director. He believes that he will remain in Egypt until the summer of 1965.
