1920

Something new was added this year - a pre-season scrimmage under game conditions. On September 21 Boston College came to Hanover for a practice game. The BC players were huge and tough and it was a most interesting game to watch in spite of the extreme 90-degree heat, and Dartmouth came from behind to a 21-15 victory.

The weather was more cooperative and the foliage was colorful for the first scheduled game on the 28th in Hanover with the University of New Hampshire. It was a good game with a 21-0 score. Phil and HildaGross joined us for a tailgate party. Charlesand Elsa Crathern and Buttons and Eva Hill pulled some strings and did their tailgating in the parking lot of the Leverone Field House which is now reserved for the visiting buses and guest officials. Al Foley sat next to us at the game and we saw Ed and GinnieBowen, the Dalrymples, and Pat and NancyHolbrook. After the game we watched an unusual sunset and rainbow at Bill andLaura Carter's "Vantage Point" and enjoyed a real New England Saturday night supper with them.

A note written back in May from HalBernkopf tells that he and Liz were making an attempt to see the United States. They went to New Orleans, Scottsdale, Ariz., the parks, and up the; Pacific Coast from Los Angeles to Seattle, Victoria, Vancouver and across the Rockies via Canadian-Pacific and then home. Their summer was spent as usual at their home on Martha's Vineyard.

About that same time Al and Hope Frey were touring New Orleans, Corpus Christi, San Antonio, and Mexico City. Speaking of Al and Hope, we stopped to make a dooryard call on them in Maine at their new home and their new way of life. They had only recently moved in and needless to say were not fully settled - but they have a beautiful location on the bank of the river - in fact their house seems to hug the bank. A1 was off to Portland and then to New Jersey for a week to do some consulting work so he has not completely retired.

Bill and Laura Carter had two surprise visits while they were in Kalamazoo; Dorothy Sampson and son George stopped over as they were touring the country looking at schools. Nate and Mildred Whiteside also swung around to drop in on them while they were on one of their business-pleasure trips. George Sampson, son of our own Harry, had an interesting summer. He went to Europe for the month of July with 20 soccer players and their coach from Hanover, spending about a week in each place, London, Amsterdam, and Zurich. Incidentally they won two games.

Gugger and Josephine Fiske have made the break and moved to Florida having bought an apartment in Seminole bordering St. Petersburg. Their address is 12400 78th Ave. North, Seminole Hill Villa, Apt. 402, Seminole, St. Petersburg, Fla. 33540. Another new address is that of Nate and Mildred Whiteside, 855 N. Cicero Ave., Chicago, Ill. 60651. We are wondering if they have sold their home in Hinsdale and have resorted to apartment living in town. Dukeand Elinor Bellen have moved from Fairfield to 2625 Park Avenue, Bridgeport, Conn. And Jake Gorton has a new address also — 1052 Belefonte Street, Cocoa, Fla.

Clayt Wallace was supposed to have retired but a note from him in September came from Washington, D. C. so he is probably back on the job. They say they miss New Hampshire and Wolfeboro where they have spent the summer.

Laddie Myers had an interesting experience. On his way to Miami he visited a couple Olympic gals in Lake Park, Fla., who had recently been admitted to the Swimming Hall of Fame in Ft. Lauderdale. They all went along to Miami to the Dolphin-Eagle game where he had been invited as an honored guest along with about 15 others. The Olympic Committee raised about $10,000 from the proceeds of the game, along with two other charities, the Crippled Children and the Goodwill Industries.

Paul and Lydia Hutchinson have given up all residence in Massachusetts and are going to make their permanent home in Florida, on Lost Tree Way, in North Palm Beach where they built a new home last year.

It is good to be able to report that JackMayer has made a remarkable recovery after his eye surgery. He can see very well now and is coming to Hanover for the Princeton game.

The old cliche: "What a small world." I was playing golf in Laconia last week where some gals who were playing let us go through. On making conversation with them I learned that one of them was a next-door neighbor to Charlie Stevens at Heron Lagoon on Siesta Key, in Florida.

It is good also to report that Steve Johnson has returned to his home on Cape Elizabeth, Me., after a rather long stay in the Veterans Hospital in Togus, Me.

Wade and Bertha Smith are now living at 663 Spencer Street, Monterey, Calif" having moved from Pebble Beach, Calif. Al and Emilie Palmer have sold their home in Eustis, Fla., which proved to be too large. They are now living at 292 South Beach Street, Ormond Beach, Fla., overlooking the Halifax River.

All of '20s who knew Norm and DorisRichardson well and knew how faithful she was to Norm during the years following a heart attack in his early 40s will be happy to know she was married again in June to a Pennsylvania man whom Doris met in Florida last year. She is now Mrs. Donley Parr and although we were not able to attend the wedding we met the fortunate man. He is extremely likable and I am sure the best wishes of the Class go to them for much happiness. They left in September for a South American cruise after which they will be in Florida for the winter at Gloria Apartments in Delray Beach.
