1919

The golf outing to Scotland and Ireland described in advance in the October issue of the MAGAZINE came to a tragic conclusion with the passing of Bob Proctor on the "Queen Elizabeth" on his return trip to Boston. Bob had not been feeling too well but was his customary jovial self during the flight to Scotland and afterwards, but his untimely death was a shock to all of us, and particularly to Cotty Larmon, Ed Martin, and Stu Russell who made the trip with him. An In Memoriam notice will appear in this or a subsequent issue of the MAGAZINE.

Harry and Lil Colwell took a nice trip early in the summer to Madeira, "rode the sleds down the hill," and then on to Holland, Switzerland, and Austria, with fine weather all the way. Sherry Baketel '20 reports taking in Expo with Pat and AlmaLeonhard and that the Leonhards are en route to Italy, Greece, and France among other spots. Russ Potter has had his troubles physically, quoting, "Two strokes in one year which proves the granite of New Hampshire must be in our body. I have to use a cane as I don't want to fall. All I need at this point is a broken hip." Russ is at Northrup Road, Woodbridge, Conn. 06525.

Other travellers are Ed and Jessie Fiske. Quoting from a card from the squire of Kennebunkport, "We are seeing some of America. Plane from Boston to Denver, then train to San Francisco, then plane to Seattle, ship to Victoria and Vancouver, then train to Lake Louise, now Jasper, then Banff, Calgary, fly to Expo, and Boston and Home. Some fun."

Hal Parsons thanks the class for his birthday card and states that "I always look forward to getting it and I don't agree with some of my classmates who say that they are too old for any more birthdays. Spent about a month on the boat and did not do too well with the hips. I hope they will come around so that I will be able to make Woodstock. If they don't improve I certainly won't be able to get up in the stadium and see the game, but we are not cancelling any reservations at this time."

Alan Jones, of the famous Jones Dairy Farms of Fort Atkinson, Wis., notes that "This is a very special birthday, having achieved the ripe old age of 70. Sometimes I thought I wouldn't make it this far. However, I am well and still working. (not too hard) having shucked off most of my responsibilities onto the next generation. All of my three sons are in the business. I am sorry never to make the fall reunions of the class, but these always come at the same time as my annual hunting trip to Canada. This I won't miss as long as I can swing a gun and pull a trigger." Also from Fort Atkinson, Bill Hoard writes regarding the birthday card, "I have already spent considerable time checking the map of Hanover very carefully. It was certainly a mighty fine idea when you decided to incorporate this map into your birthday greetings from the Class of 1919."

Charlie Warner of Hopkinsville, Ky., hopes to be in Fort Lauderdale in February and check up on the Rands who will be back at 152 Gleason Street, Delray Beach, Fla. 33444 when these notes appear. Norris Hodgkins, of Southern Pines, N. C., sent in a brochure announcing the merger of his Citizens Bank and Trust Company and the First Union National Bank, and several smaller North Carolina banks. In association with the Jefferson Standard Life Insurance Company, the construction of a multimillion dollar office building tower and parking facility in Charlotte, N. C., which will be the largest office building complex in North Carolina.

Mike McGean '49, firecracker Secretary of the College, edits "The Bulletin" and always comes up with something good. Quoting, "The use of the Dartmouth computer, even with its marvelous 'time sharing' feature, has forced the Kiewit management to set up a few regulations. Hanover High School and Elementary School students are now required to submit a description of their projects before they are granted permission to use the system. Bennet Vance, aged 12, submitted the following for his 'summer project': 'Graphs, mathematical games and incidental mathematical problems. On graphs I will try to deviate from functions with such things as divisibility in the Pascal triangle, frequency of prime numbers in different ranges, and motion of a bicycle pedal in relation to the ground in different gears. I will also attempt to write a program which composes moderately good music which is easily translatable into musical script."!!!!!. Classmates, how is your twelve-year-old grandson doing!!!!
