This year's edition of the Alumni College was a great success. 1923 was well represented. Irish brought his brother Fred along. Charlie Bishop and wife, Catherine, were freshmen. Tru and Bunny Metzel, Ivan andEleanor Martin, Barbara and I were juniors.

While in Hanover, the Bixbys rode horseback in Norwich almost everyday. All hands visited with the Klarens in South Strafford, Vt., the Landauers in their hill-top retreat off the Lyme Road, and the Wilcoxes in Etna. On the way home, Barbara remarked she would never miss an Alumni College as long as she was able to make the trip to Hanover. We learned we get two points towards a degree for this eleven days. Well, a few of us have six points towards our doctorates.

Sam Horne retired in 1950. Since that year he has devoted much of his time to the Haverhill United Fund and to the Haverhill Historical Society. In the former organization he worked his way up to the presidency. Today he is one of the factors behind the scene that guides this organization.

Sam took over the historical society when it was deep in debt. He accepted the treasurership and did a remarkable job reinvesting the capital and liquidating the debt. Through his efforts the society has $50,000 more net worth than at any time in its history and has invested its increased income in rebuilding and refurbishing the society's home.

During all of this time his wife, Mim, has guided the Haverhill Children's Aid Society and the women's division of the United Fund. In between times Sam and Mim make an annual trip to Florida and a once-every four years trip to Europe.

Jim Hennessy was one of thirty doctors, 45 nurses, and 25 medical technicians who sailed on the "S.S. Hope" to the Pacific Coast of Nicaragua. The ship anchored in Corinto. Their purpose was to teach medical practices to the natives. Project Hope stands for Health Opportunity for People Everywhere. Since 1960 the ship has sailed to Vietnam, Indonesia, Peru, Ecuador, and Guinea. The ship arrived January 20 for a ten months' stay. The physicians serve on a two-month rotating basis. When the "S.S. Hope" sails she will leave behind bettertrained Nicaraguan doctors and nurses.

On the trip, Jim visited for four days with Monk and Ana Keith in San Juan. Jim writes "As you know, Monk is a big wheel in Costa Rica. He is the third generation of his family there. He has a delightful family there including twelve grandchildren. We can well envy the most pleasant way of life that they enjoy." He adds, "I hope to be on the 'S.S. Hope' next year when it sails to Colombia, S. A."
