1929

Although it is only the fourth day of December, our mind does a double take when we realize that it will be the new year of 1965 when you read these notes. This is the year of our 35th Reunion. Make it your resolve now to attend the Reunion in Hanover on June 14, 15, 16. Mark your calendar. Tell Trunkie Brittan that you will be there. He is sitting up there in Hanover now, wracking his brains, thinking and planning for the comfort and enjoyment of X number of Twenty-Miners. We can change that X to a numeral with some positive thinking. A word or two from you will soothe him immeasurably. Let's make this a memorable affair - one that we will talk about when we reach the 50th milestone. Time is fleeting - get aboard, now!

Hark the enchantment of Hanover in June - warm, sunny days - the magic of the evenings - a time and place to laze and to play - familiar scenes - Dartmouth Row - Baker - the hills - the pines - a friend to share a memory, a new experience, a plan for the future - hark the call to renew.

Woody Woodbridge writes from Turkey - "Few days ago, in Istanbul, I roll in from the Black Sea sticks, check accumulated mail at The Divan Oteli. A card reads, 'Call me, Room 454 at The Hilton.' And so it was Arthur B. H. Rose - the peripatetic practically ex-patriot engineering consultant who had meandered into the old hang-out and, compulsively, inquired if, perchance, a guy by the name of Woodbridge might be back in town." Art was en route to the United States after a difficult but interesting two-year siege in Pakistan. These two hardies whooped it up so that the Turks became aware that Dartmouth was in town again. Art will make a landing in Idaho Falls, Idaho, where he may "just build an A-Frame camp, and camp." Pending construction, he may be reached c/o R. P. Rose (son Ron), 560 East 16th Street, Idaho Falls.

Through the gracious grapevine, word has been received that Nick Nickerson has been elected to the Board of Trustees of Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, N. J. Nick is president of The First National Bank of Jersey City, and is a member of the managing boards of industrial corporations, Chambers of Commerce, the Young Men's Christian Association, and the Community Congregational Church of Short Hills. Under Nick's stewardship since 1953, the total resources of his bank have risen from 116 million to more than 300 million dollars.

Recently, we had the pleasure of visiting the new suite of offices of Blair and Buckles, at 89 State Street, Boston. When you enter the building bent on obtaining a patent, do not be dismayed by the swarming workmen, building materials, and rubble. Let a hod carrier conduct you to the tenth floor and you will find Jack dispensing the law in a beautiful, walnut-panelled office. Jack is one of the pioneer tenants in a building that is being completely remodelled in line with the decor of the new Boston. Construction and reconstruction are the prevailing moods in the old city.

Recent changes of address have come to our attention: Robert S. Jones, King Edward Apts., Apt. No. 404, 4611 Bayard, Pittsburgh, Pa. - Carl F. Norden, 4055 52nd Terrace, Washington, D. C. - Raymond C. Perkins, 836 24th Ave. N., St. Petersburg, Fla.

We were shocked to learn of the deaths of Mike Ferrini, Red Flynn, and Fran McEntee. We mourn the loss of these stalwart members of the Class and extend our deepest sympathies to their respective families.

Secretary, 10 Cranston Road Winchester, Mass.
