1929

The class officers gathered in Hanover the weekend of May 1 for panel discussions and reports. Present from our Class were Jack Blair, chairman; Fred Ingram, treasurer; Ed Chinlund, class agent; Jack Gunther, bequest chairman; Duke Barto, newsletter editor; Trunkie Brittan, reunion chairman, and Squeek Redding, secretary. All wives were present to add gaiety to the occasion. 1929 set some kind of record because only one other class was represented by all of its officers.

Of course, your officers were working hard, but we did find moments for convivial repasts, explorations of Hopkins Center, golf, tennis matches, a track meet, and crew races. John Dickey and Bob Monahan, the College Forester, joined us at the dinner in Alumni Hall. Ed Chinlund was most happy to report that 1929 is leading in the Green Derby competition for the Alumni Fund. It is quite evident that the Class of 1929 is alive and kicking. We have a great gang.

On May 13, Bill and Kay Andres, Chairman Jack Blair, John and Virginia Davis, A 1 and Lucy Finlay, Frank and Petie Foster, Ollie and Marion Holmes, John and Alice Laffey, Larry and Mary Lougee, Nick and Jane Panoras, and Squeek and Loretta Redding gathered for a night at Pops in Symphony Hall at Boston. Ollie Holmes arranged for a social hour and supper at the Mid-Town Motor Hotel. This was another gala evening in the cause of scholarship funds.

Dr. Irving Levitas has been lecturing on health and happiness for senior citizens in New Jersey. Irving is affiliated with Hackensack, Bergen Pines, and Pascack Valley Hospitals. He is also house physician at the Bergen County Home.

Perhaps the lectures to senior citizens had its effect on Paul Jameson who has left the country for the big city with an address at Apt. 9 G, 36 East 36th Street, New York City. Statistics have assured him, undoubtedly, that the mental health of urbanites is at least equal to that of their country cousins.

Art Bergeron's name recently appeared in the newspapers when he ended his tenure as City Solicitor for the City of Berlin, N. H. Art has served this city long and well; his service includes 21 years as City Solicitor and three years as Mayor.

Marcia Ingram, the daughter of Mace andHelen Ingram, became the bride of William D. Lamb '63 in April. She attends Smith College and her husband is a student at the Thayer School of Engineering.

Chief Justice Frank Kenison was the principal speaker at the dedication of the new municipal courtroom at the former railroad station in Laconia, N. H.

Dave Martin, our Congressman from Nebraska, has recently traveled to Alabama in search of poverty. His findings were the subject of a Huntley-Brinkley television report. Dave screened extremely well.

Word has just been received of the death of Dick Robin. We send our deep sympathy to Helen and his family.

Hope you all have a good summer and remember to send me postal cards!
