1925

After the bonfire on the campus the evening before the Penn game, 23 members of the Board of Governors, together with three other members of the Class, met in the Sanborn House to hold the regular annual meeting of the body formerly known as the executive committee. The treasurer's report showed a healthy balance, which was further increased by the transfer of a substantial profit from our fortieth reunion in June. Following the gratifying victory the next day, the group, augmented by others who had been unable to attend the meeting, met for cocktails and dinner in Alumni Hall (Hopkins Center) with members of the classes of 1923, 1930, and 1934. Details of the foregoing will be forthcoming in the next issue of The Roundup.

The next meeting of the Board will be held October 7, 1966, the evening before the Princeton game, which again is expected to tax the overnight facilities within a radius of 50 miles. So if you plan to attend this game, which incidentally should go a long way toward determining the Ivy League championship, it is suggested that you make your reservations now.

In the parking lot at the Brown game, we first met Ford Whelden at 11:00 a.m., who had left Norwich in a Mustang at 7:30 that morning. Eilie and Frank Wallis (whose luncheon incidentally was generously shared with your reporter) next appeared in view seated in two comfortable chairs alongside their car. Early in September Frank went hunting for blue geese at Cabbage Willows on Hudson Bay. He got the limit of 15 geese and 12 ducks. Among the group of twelve men, guided by Cree Indians, was Dr. James Nixon '47. While Frank was in the wilderness, Ellie stayed at the Lac Ouimet Club at St. Jovite, from where Frank had flown in a bush pilot plane. In the course _ of searching for classmates among the tail-gaters, we learned that only the day before Charley Moore had become the grandfather of Charles F. Moore IV, offspring of son, Jonathan '54 and Katherine, daughter of Bill Andres '29. Sitting near us on the 50-yard line were Bob Pierce, DickHoiden, Dot and Don Hunt, with two of their grandchildren, and Marjorie and HamThayer. A meeting of the trustees of Tabor Academy, of which he is also treasurer, prevented Ham from attending our meeting in Hanover the previous week.

A note from Ford Barrett expressed regret in having been unable to attend our reunion because of having been "a bit under the weather for several months." He and Will McLaughlin are the only '25-ers in the Spokane area. Jack Spring of Nashua, N. H., has been reappointed to serve another term as Hillsboro County medical referee. Frank Crawford reports having been in and out of the hospital during the past year with mysterious symptoms of serious ailments, which "after several hundred dollars' worth of X-rays" were finally diagnosed as merely ulcers resulting from "too much meat tenderizer!" In response to an appeal, June Bryant provided some enlightening news. Bob Meginnity, after touring Ireland and Scotland, confessed to a feeling of disloyalty to his ancestral Ireland and admitted a preference for Scotland. He described the roads as being so narrow that turnouts are necessary and that when a big lorry comes thundering down upon you on the right it is enough to test the heart. After some "pub crawling" in England he spent a few weeks in his favorite spot, Paris, before returning. Coop Rhodes is taking things easy after his hospital experience last winter. Mott Garlock is apparently the elder on the faculty of Northwestern University in Springfield, Mass., where he also serves as Incorporator (whatever that is!). All this a sideline to his insurance career. June himself continues his archaeological programs in Spain and Florida. Last spring he went looking for Lucayan Indians on New Providence and Abaco in the Bahamas. He also does a bit of publishing, which gets him into the area of bookselling. He was unable to attend reunion (for the first time!) because he was being visited by his son, Bruce, with wife and four children ranging in years from 1½ to 9.

While these notes are being written, it's the last opportunity to express to you all best wishes for the holiday season. So - may your Christmas be joyful and the New Year prosperous.
