1920
The weather and the foliage were ideal for the Princeton game and Hanover was buzzing with people. The tailgating was done inside in order to have a central meeting place. Dave Orr set up tables in the stadium end of Leverone Field House and many gathered round the 1920 banner; the Horace Dalrymples, Bill Carters, Jack Mayers, Phil Grosses, Buttons Hills, Charles Cratherns, Tudor Bradleys, Arch Lawson, the Ken Spaldings and many had guests. At the game we saw the Spence Snedecors, Erwin Millers, Sherm Adamses, Ted Marden, Pat Holbrooks, Sherry Baketels, Nate Whitesides, Ed Bowens, Tink Lombards, the Mel Merritts, the Charlie McGoughrans, the Ralph Sunergrens, and it was nice to see Dorothy Sampson. Al Foley saw that she was taken care of - and a surprise. BungRoland. The Jack Lappins and the Jim Chicotts were at the game I hear although I didn't get to see them - and perhaps more.
The highlight of the day was not the score, I'm sorry to say (Dartmouth missed its injured players), but Pat and Nancy Holbrook held open house again for the Class after the game, at their home on Downing Road. It was a grand party. Pat and Nancy are charming as host and hostess, and everybody was grateful not only for their generous hospitality but also for the opportunity of another get-together of the Class.
The next week, the Brown game was quite the reverse. It rained all through the game but Dartmouth played well and the score exploded to 48-0. For the Harvard game the day was perfect, a snappy breeze. Harvard had an excellent team. Dartmouth was missing many of its key men out of play because of injuries and a total score of 22-7 was clocked up. The weather for the Yale game was perfect, balmy and mild. The Dartmouth squad, whittled down with still more injuries each game, did well to salvage a score of 27 points against Yale's 47. And so much for football.
Hib Richter stopped in on his way from closing up his Newfound Lake house to Augusta. He is going to teach a course concerned with the best methods of study, rapid reading and memory improvement at the University of Maine in Augusta.
Mugs Morrill in his modest Vermont way writes "I rarely do anything worth reporting, but this summer Lucia, daughter Julie and I did manage to visit London, Paris, the Chateau Country, Vienna, and Budapest. The highlight was Vienna, where Julie was presented at the Ball of the Silver Rose at the Swartzenberg Palais along with seventeen other girls from the United States and we were royally entertained for a week."
Nate and Mildred Whiteside have not moved from Hinsdale as thought. The change of address was only for Dartmouth mail to be sent to Nate's place of business instead of to his home. They spent about a week in and around Hanover at foliage time and to see the Princeton game.
Art Thomson and his wife are about to embark on a power cruiser. They were to pick up their boat, a Grand Bahama 36. at Grenada and cruise around the Lesser Antilles for a while before heading for their eventual destination. Florida. In September we spent a delightful weekend with the Ralph Sunergrens in Hingham and on our way out to the Yacht Club for lunch we went by Art's place and at that time there was an impressive yacht tied up at his dock but this new power cruiser is something else again.
Wes Jones of West Palm Beach is very active in Dartmouth affairs and has done a tremendous job scouting and counseling prospective scholar athletes. He had three or four lined up for Dartmouth but I am not certain how many were accepted. I believe Brown got two of them.

A note from Margaret Weis reminds us that Erwin's health is not too good but that he does enjoy the DARTMOUTH ALUMNI MAGAZINE and the news of the boys.
Carl Newton has been very active before the federal courts this past year. In August he was inducted as a fellow of the American College of Trial Lawyers. He says he hoped to see everybody in 1970.
Wes and Esther Carr enjoy being on the go. They spent four months at their cottage on Cape Cod this summer. They have three children scattered over the country which gives them the excuse of traveling — to Philadelphia this fall, Memphis for Thanksgiving, California in January, and Mexico in March, which doesn't leave them very much time at their home in Mansfield, Ohio.
Len and Marie Davis have just returned to their home in La Grange, Ill., after spending three months at their cottage at York Beach. They mentioned having a brief visit from Tink and Esther Lombard during the summer. As I remember, the Lombards swung around that way on their way to the '2O-'21 picnic at New Ipswich in July.
Hal Clark is back on the job again after a bout in the hospital last summer. He and Catherine are now alone in Scarsdale as their son is at Harvard Business School and their daughter works in New York.
George Vincent has quite a record: five grandchildren in colleges, at Wesleyan, Harvard, Wilson, Michigan, Wheaton, five in high school and one in kindergarten. They are planning to spend five or six weeks at their place on Siesta Key, Sarasota in March.
Another to move to Florida is ClydeBidwell who sold his home in Connecticut and has built a home on Siesta Key in Sarasota. His address will be 5315 Shadow Lawn Dr., Sarasota, Fla. 33581. They plan to spend seven months of the year in Florida and the rest of the year in Bennington, Vt.
One of the local papers carried a very good picture of our own Al Foley and KenSpalding. Ken is president of the Thompson Ames Historical Society and invited Al to speak on his favorite subject "Vermont Humor" at their October meeting. Al stayed over with the Spaldings, and probably his humor continued on and on far into the night. The Spaldings made an overnight visit recently with Dr. and Mary Snedecor in Hackensack, N. J. He is very busy with his profession, his hospital work and his church work.
And now for the sad news: Word came from the daughter of Clifford Aulis that he passed away on September 21, 1968 after a year of serious illness. There is no further information at this time. Also Frank Morey wrote enclosing a clipping about Tom Ainsworth who died of a heart attack at his home on October 23. Frank and Tom grew up together in Utica and roomed together in Hanover, and they were both Betas. He also refreshed our memory that Tom won numerals in baseball and letters in basketball. Tom was brought back to Utica for burial and Frank attended the services. In Memoriam notices will appear in either this or subsequent issues of the ALUMNI MAGAZINE, and the Class sends deep sympathy to the surviving members of the families of these two Classmates.
A note from Muir Lind tells about his four grandsons whom he is trying to counsel and steer toward Dartmouth.
Dan Bender spent the summer golfing, as usual, at Buck Hill, Pa.; he had a recent visit from Jake Gorton while he was in Jersey.
Although Al Osborn's two sons have taken over the greater part of the business they do on questioned documents, the work is so interesting that Al goes in most every day just the same, their present interesting case being that of the Tommy Manville estate.
