1915

Certain recent utterances to the contrary notwithstanding, we venture to say that the last two lines of the second stanza of the old Dartmouth Alma Mater Song still hold! (Said stanza seems to be missing in late reprints - call on your memory!)

A rousing salute to the all-winning 1965 football team - a remarkable accomplishment!

Further comments from hither and yon. Tracy Brownell - good to see pictures in "Frontiersman" - couldn't make Reunion, but looks in at Hanover occasionally. LeoBurt - felt better for having attended Reunion. Al Cahn - sorry to miss seeing all the gang. Ed Carr - glad to be reunited with the Class. Joe Comstock - has grandson playing third base on a championship little league team, leading hitter on team, Joe Jr. major in Army, "see you at our 75th." Tom Connelly - coming along fairly well after coronary attack. Hugh Courtright - was filled in on Reunion by slides brought in by Art Sterling. Hal Davison - fine Reunion but time too short to visit with all old friends. Geo. Ehinger - "thanks for that fine 50-Year Book, sorry had to miss Reunion." Howie Fuller - after Reunion, enjoyed 7-day stay at Sheraton in new Prudential Center in Boston. Opie Horton - "See you at Harvard game" (which he did). Geo. Ingalls - had quite a trip East visiting (among others) the Fredericks,Hitchcocks, Lounsberrys, Ralph Browns and Max Wilcox. Henry Marcy — good to know we were missed at Reunion, wish we were nearer, but it's quite a drive from West Palm Beach." Art Boggs - "What a Class! Our record of 50-year giving to the College is cause for pride." JimBrackett - "Looks like we may have a good team this year" (comment as of mid-October). Ralph Burgess - says he's feeling much better and playing golf four times a week. DanDaniell - just out of hospital (minor plumbing repair) back to normal and ready for winter in Green Bay. Geo. Dyke - "Reunion was grand - just time to see, not to talk." Stub Foster - "Sorry to miss Reunion, thought of you all, Jack Bowler will make good president." Carl Gish - Reunion was too short, so stayed over a few days. Bob Griffin - "Yes, geared too fast for us young fellows."

John Healy - "Glowing reports made me realize what an event our Fiftieth was - wish I could have made it." Sam Penny - "Sorry I couldn't make it - hope to attend our 55th." Pete Pray - back in harness again, working mornings. Cal Rogers - "Our wonderful record with Alumni Fund a fitting tribute for our 50th." Sammy Sanborn — "The Law is a Jealous Mistress - Guess I'll have to retire - in time for next Reunion." Buster Sawyer - spending the winter at Sarasota — is fairly healthy but "I'd hate to start college now"! Elliot Sharp hit the jackpot out of a clear sky - "In a litter of three chinchillas, one of them turned out to be a mutation with 'beige veiling and lavender underfur and beige tips' - the standard chinchillas have dark blue underfur and black tips." Jerry Shaw - "The Class picture I thought very good, only I'm sorry for Sid Bull if he looks like me - evidently someone thought so as they have us numbered wrong." (Accidents will happen, Jerry.) Ed Shea - just home from hospital — OK from heart attack. Art Sheldon - "Had a fine time at Reunion - great turnout." Tony Simoneau - "Good to see every- one - hope we can make it again." ArtSterling - "Great Reunion." Tommy Tomfohrde - "Tell Phil Murdock (that's me) every time I get a birthday card I mean to write thanks for such a nice remembrance not enough hours in the day - they say I work too hard - Thank God I can!" Mrs. Blanche, writing for Chuck Trumbull, says he was glad and pleased with our messages and birthday card. He enjoys reading and watching TV. Warren Montsie is reported dickering for a cooperative in Clearwater, Fla„ and, if successful, will sell his place on Cape Cod after another summer there. Johnny Pendleton, also in Clearwater, after traipsing up to Hanover and waystations in his mobile camper, offers its use - if it isn't sold beforehand, to anyone interested with any rent money paid to the College so he could get a rebate (there's a deal for you!). Elizabeth (Mrs. Willis R.) Putney expresses her thanks and appreciation for the 50-Year Book, the ALUMNI MAGAZINE and the "Fron- tiersman," as well as for cordial invitations to Class gatherings. So much for a re-cap of hither and yon comments.

Ash St. Clair comes up with an interesting slant on family influence out in Oregon upon where a son should go to college. Out there, a father believes that if a man is going to spend his life in Oregon he go to school there, or at least on the Coast. This applies primarily to undergraduate work - graduate schools are another matter - but the coast boys, almost without exception, are strong for medical and law schools in Oregon and California. How about that!

Eben Clough claims that from the top of the Prudential Building in Boston you can see into New Hampshire, Vermont, and even parts of Maine. He further opines that the reason this scribe wasn't seen at the Columbia game was because I was busy conferring with Lindsay, — no doubt! Then he admonished me to be sure and win the Princeton game and winds up with this one: Santa: "Why don't you buy Christmas Seals?" Claus: "I really don't know what to feed them!" No comment!

Speaking of the Princeton game, a good Dartmouth man turned over his one ticket to his son who persuaded a friend to go along on the chance they might pick up another ticket at the Stadium. They found a Stadium worker who had a pass which they dickered for and purchased for $7.50. When they got up to the one seat, they found the adjacent seat holders a congenial bunch who squeezed together enough to produce an extra space. From then on, the chief problem was after each spectacular play (and there were plenty such) wriggling and squirming back into their respective seats. Which brings to mind that old refrain: "The world will never have to call, On Dartmouth men in vain"! (See first paragraph of this column.)

May the year ahead be good to us all!
