1918

W. Curt Glover passed away in his sleep on April 1. He was born in 1896 in Lawrence, Mass.; graduated from the Lawrence High School and received an A.B. degree from Dartmouth College in the Class of 1918. After serving as a Second Lieutenant in the Quartermasters Corps during World War I, he returned to College and graduated from Tuck School in 1920. While in college he was a captain of the soccer team and circulation manager of the Jack-O-Lantern magazine. He was treasurer of our Class from 1953 until his death. Dartmouth College paid him the honor of making him president of the Class Treasurers' Association in 1966. At the same time he was elected to be president of the Class Treasurers Association he was presented a replica of the swimming trophy established at Dartmouth as a memorial to his son John in the Class of '55. John was an ail-American swimmer and was training for the Olympics when he was suddenly stricken and died, in 1956.

Curt was president and treasurer of Write, Inc., New York City. He was a member of the New York Athletic Club, the Crescent Athletic Club of Brooklyn, a 32nd degree Mason and a member of the Shrine.

His classmate, Rev. George Davis, conducted the funeral services. He is survived by his wife, Ruth, and his son, William C. Glover Jr. (See In Memoriam prepared by Syl Morey.) Ruth Glover wishes to thank the Class of 1918 for the flowers which were sent to emphasize the great love and appreciation Curt's classmates had for him.

We are sorry to announce another death; that of Hiram H. Belding Jr., who passed away on Easter Sunday, April 14. He was 73 years old at the time of his decease. Hi was associated for many years with Blyth & Co., Inc. in Chicago, where he was vicepresident in charge of Blyth & Co. Midwestern operations before he retired. He retired in 1961. He is survived by his widow, Rose, three sons, Hiram H. Jr., William, and David, and two daughters, Mrs. Mary English and Mrs. Ann Ekbald.

Tom Bryant is very happy with the progress that is being made this year with the Class Alumni Fund giving. On April 22 we were leading our Green Derby group of seven classes. Tom has high hopes that he is going to win the Green Derby. Please be sure to send your gifts to the College promptly so that he will know how he stands well ahead of the closing date.

We are very sorry to have misquoted Gene Markey in the March issue of the ALUMNI MAGAZINE. The true quotation should have read: "in cloistered halls, with mini-skirted nurses," etc.

You have been reminded both in THE ROAR and in our Class notes several times about the class plans for attending the Princeton-Dartmouth Game, the weekend of October 11-13, 1968. While the guarantee of Bonnie Oaks at Lake Morey, Fairlee, Vt., to supply reservations to the class terminated the first of June, we suggest that if you find you can come you still write them anyway asking for reservations. If it is anything like the last time Princeton played in Hanover, every motel and hotel within fifty miles of Hanover will be completely filled. We think we were very fortunate to have secured reserva-tions for the class at Bonnie Oaks. You had better change your mind and come, if they will still let you in.

Stump Barr has agreed to assume the assignment of acting treasurer of our class until our class meeting in June. We were very fortunate that he agreed to take on this assignment. so that we would know our financial standing at the time of our class meeting. Stump has been very active as chairman of the nominating committee for the Class, and has done a splendid job in lining up the nominees to be presented to our Class at its June Meeting. The Class is greatly indebted to him for all the time and effort that he has spent on this assignment.

As you read this it will be reunion time. We wish to pay high tribute to Dwight Sargent, Steve Mahoney, Ted Hazen, and their team of classmates who planned our Golden Roundup and then carried it through to completion. It was a grand accomplishment giving those who attended great fun and the joy of renewing friendships with the many classmates who came to be with us. Dwight, we thank you and your group for all you did to give us such an enjoyable experience. We shall remember it for the rest of our lives.

We are glad to report that Hort Chandler is much better and hopes to be home from the hospital soon.

Zack Taylor writes he received his birthday card from Jake while in the Strong Hospital in Rochester, N.Y., recovering from a stroke which occurred April 9. He hopes to fully regain all his faculties and is still planning to attend our reunion. We hope to see you there, Zack.

A letter from Bill Shellman to Tom Bryant states how upset he was to learn of HiBelding's death. Then he goes on to describe a visit they had had from George and loneWoodruff on March 22. The Woodruffs had just returned from Hawaii and were on their way to Milwaukee. They had a very interesting visit as the Woodruffs were still talking about their happy and fascinating Hawaiian trip. The Shellmans are planning to be with us at reunion time.

Les Granger is presently a visiting professor of Sociology at Moorehouse College in Atlanta, Ga. From there he will go to Greece on a repeat invitation from Constantine Doxiadis to participate in another Delos Symposium and Ekistics Seminar.

Did you read the bulletin sent out recently by the College giving the record of the total class giving up to June 30, 1967? The Class of 1918 ranks 9th in standing and has given a total of $1,240,288 out of the classes' total of $62,502,099. We are sure you are all very proud of this record.

Have a fun summer; keep well, and in the fall let us know what you have been doing.
