1920

It's football time and it's news when two '20 men come on from California to see a football game, and the autumn foliage. Ralph and Dorothy Roberts came from Pasadena, and Bill and Harriett Sinclair from San Jose. The Sinclairs were here on a pleasure-business trip and their stay was very short tut Ralph and Dorothy stayed around to take in both the Princeton and the Brown games and to drink in New England's fall colors which were never more brilliant. Princeton game, October 8, a mild day and a great game 31-13. Others at the game were:

Doc and Harriett Miller, Tom and Dorothy Dudley, Phil and Hilda Gross, Jack and Margaret Mayer, Bill and Laura Carter, Arch Law-son, Buttons and Eva Hill, Charlie and Elsa Crathern, Sam and Dot Sampson, Mugs and Lucia Morrill, Paul and Lydia Hutchinson, Pat and Nancy Holbrook. Mel and Helen Merritt, Tink and Esther Lombard, Sherry and Elizabeth Baketel, Ken and Hilda Spalding, Cy and Geraldine Rounsville Dick and Mary Welch, Hib, Paul and Lillian Richter, Frank and Kay Moulton, Dal and Marguerite Dalrymple, Ralph Sunergren. Carl and Dorothy Lenz, Hal and Harriett Bidwell, Al Foley, Charlie McGoughran, Paul Sample, and Bung Roland.

Sherm Adams had tickets but was so involved with his Loon Mountain project he couldn't get away, so Rachael came with Ted Marden. Just about everybody that was at the game was also at the Class Meeting and picnic before the game in Leverone Field House with the exception of Hib andPaul Richter; they arrived just in time for the game. A card came from Frank Morey mailed from Lisbon on October 8 wishing he was with everybody at the game even though he was thoroughly enjoying a tour of Portugal, and especially Lisbon.

Ralph and Dorothy Roberts flew on from California to Albany planning to stay with and drive on to the game with the Ed Bowens, but Ed. instead of coming to the game was taken to the hospital with pneumonia. I have heard from him since then that he was well recovered and expected to be at the Harvard game. A change in the Roberts' plans gave us the pleasure of having them as guests for a couple days. We took them through Pinkham and over the Kancamagus Highway, sopping in at Sherm Adams'. He was busy at the time but we had a personally conducted tour of the Loon Mountain Ski Resort by Rachael. It is a fabulous project and beautifully laid out, but it doesn't seem possible that it can be ready for opening by December 15.

Brown game October 15, a mild day and a good game, and what a score 49-14! There were the familiar faces of those living near to Hanover: Phi! and Hilda Gross, Frank and Kay Moulton, Charles and Elsa Crathern. Bustons and Eva Hill, Dal and Marguerite Dalrymple, Charlie McGoughran, Sherry and Elizabeth Baketel, the Roberts; and it was nice to see Paul and Helen Giffin from Grosse Pointe, Mich., and Tudor and Jesse Bradley from Taunton; and Al Foley.

Harvard game, October 22. The day was mild and it was a great game between two fine teams, but the final score 19-14 was heartbreaking. We parked in the usual place, second parking section from Howard Johnson's on Soldier's Field Road, and the Eben Wallaces, Dal Dalrymples, CharlieCrathems gathered around for a tailgate picnic before the game. Others at the game were Mugs and Lucia Morrill, Mel and Helen Merritt, Dick Wats. Ralph Sunergren, Steiny and Elinor Steinholtz, Ken and Hilda Spalding, and I am sure many more that we did not see.

Yale game, October 29. The day started out warm - almost shirtsleeve weather, but the wind blew up hard and cold during the fourth quarter. The score 28-13 was a big win. The Yale Bowl is a big place, but we did see a few '20s. Sig and Betty Sigler, their daughter, her husband and their son; Charles and Elsa Crathern and Charlie's sister Alice; and Tink and Esther Lombard with their grandson and a chum, gathered 'round the tailgate for picnicking before and after the game; and others in the stands were Mel and Helen Merritt, Charlie Mc-Goughran, Sherry Baketei with his grandson Tom who is marking tire to be called into the Navy; Dal and Marguerite Dalrymple. Hitch and Dorothy Hitchcock; and Anne Mack with her son and other members of her family-, and probably many more that we did not see.

Bon Ayres' son, Bob '50, with his lovely wife and two fine toys, seeing the 1920 banner in the Yale parking lot came over to make themselves known. They brought news of Ellen, that she is going to Delray Beach this winter as usual and that she is also planning a trip to the Scandinavian countries in the early spring.

Mugs and Lucia Morrill, with daughter Julie and a chum, spent last July camping in the national parks in the Olympic Peninsula and the Canadian Rockies. This was a tenderfoot trip; instead of hauling a trailer, pitching tents and building fires, they flew to Seattle, rented a Clark Cortez which is self-contained and propelled, and had all the comforts of home, plus air-conditioning. They enjoyed this kind of camping immensely and recommend it to all who are considering a similar safari.

From Leo Ungar we learn of the recent death of John E. Sunderland of Omaha. An In Memoriam notice will appear in a subsequent issue of the ALUMNI MAGAZINE and the Class extends to his wife Julie and the surviving members of John's family our deep sympathy.

Leo and Alice Ungar are planning to spend the month of March in Hollywood, Fla., at the Diplomat.

A clipping from the Rock Island, Ill., newspaper announces that Ben H. Potter has recently been elected a member-at-large of the Augustana College Board of Directors.

Frank (Snake) and Margaret Corbin will soon be leaving their summer place in Egg Harbor to go back to Evanston. They have seen Don and Ruth McKay frequently during the summer and Ed and Save Hasbrook were there in the spring from Green Bay.

Lea and Maria Davis are back in La Grange after three months at York Beach, Me. Len had a chat with Tom Davidson and it appears Tom's Big "A" ski resort is developing in fine shape.

Steve Graves has just finished the third year of his summer job in Humboldt Redwoods State Park. He and Jesse are now heading for Chicago in their camper to visit their 7th and latest grandchild. Steve is looking forward to the Big 50th in 1970.

Our sympathy gees to Wes Jones as we learn of the sudden death of his wife Elsie last April of a heart attack. He is living in Palm Beach and goes to the Dartmouth luncheons - tut says there are no '20s in or near Palm Beach.

A news clipping from Barre, Vt., informs us that Paul sample's original painting of the mural which is in the foyer of the National Life Insurance Company has been donated by the company to the newly dedicated Welcome and information Center in Guilford at the annual meeting of the Greater Vermont Association.

Hal Clark is easing off, having retired from private practice, is now director of the Emergency Dept. at New York University Medical Center. Now that Chet Smith has retired from sports writing for the Pittsburgh Press, he is now using his residence address, 124 Youngwood Road in Pittsburgh, Pa.

Wedding bells for the class of 1920 make for real news. Congratulations go to LarryClarkson who announces he was married on January 29, 1966 at Laguna Beach, Calif., to Mrs. Marian Webb Clack.

Dick Watts gets around in the process of visiting his six grandchildren who are scattered over the country in Illinois, Indiana, and Florida but he has also found time to improve his golf game.

Best Wishes to you all for HAPPY HOLIDAYS.

Ralph and Dorothy Roberts came fromcalifornia to join '2O classmates at thePrinceton game and take in the foliage.
