1936
The Memorial Stadium in Hanover has a new addition for this autumn football season - gift from the Class of '36. In August our class chairman, Gil Balkam, formally presented to Coach Bob Blackman a set of Triman pro-type goal posts. These posts are of the modern wishbone design with single base and construction of aluminum and stainless steel. They are not only handsomely functional but add a safety factor to the playing field. Let's hope they help the Big Green toward a successful season.
It isn't too early to remind you that our 35th Reunion (My God!) will be in June 1971. Those classmates who are far afield should plan ahead for the trip to Hanover. Reunion chairman, Norb Hofman, has already lined up the class picnic at ChuckAaron's Dexters Lodge in Sunapee. The Alumni College week in Hanover this past August also led to some preliminary planning for joint activities with Class of '37.

If you are a magazine reader or just a TV viewer, you might have caught the article on the King Family in the Sept. 6 TV Guide. It took the family tree branch by branch. About Donna it read, "Her husband of 26 years, Jim Conkling, founder of Reprise Records and former president of Columbia Records, is another convert to Mormonism. He seldom appears on the show. There are five twigs to the Conkling branch. Candy, 24 ... is married to car wash entrepreneur Bob Wilson and they have two children, Kristen, 4, and Brook, 2. Jamie, 22, a freckled redhead; Chris, 20, a nonconformist, is in Japan on a mission for the church; Xan (for Alexandra), 18, barely manages to do the King Family Show between choir practice and the second half of the high school basketball game. Laurette at 10 is already a showbiz pro."
In the Sept. 27 Saturday Review under Espionage appeared a fine review of "The Super Spies" by Andrew Tully. The reviewer was Joseph W. Bishop Jr., professor of law at Yale Law School. Joe obviously knows his spies, but the book is non-fiction based largely on the National Security Agency, the Defense Intelligence Agency and six other American superspy bureaus. Before we leave SR, it should be mentioned that one of their staff is now a grandfather. Dick and Madine Morton are the proud grandparents of David Robert born on June 22 in Jacksonville, Fla.
Where there are young people there are weddings and we have them both. On August 23 in Holy Trinity Church in Cincinnati, Ohio, Linda Louise Morse, daughter of Roger and Marion Morse, formerly of Danvers, Mass., was married to Dale Lauer of Amherst, Ohio.

The Morses were also happy to have their son, Roger, home for the festivities after serving in Viet Nam for a year with the Marines.

He has recently sold this business and in September started as a teacher of chemistry and general science at Manchester Regional High School in Haledon. This will be a more relaxed existence for Spence and his wife, Bonnie. However, they were busy until August 23 when their daughter, Holly, was married to Raymond Scott Hall of Epsom Downs, England. Although Holly received her M.A. at the University of Leeds in England, they actually met at the University of Washington in St. Louis, Mo.

Perhaps you noticed the appeal for Dartmouth skiing memorabilia in a spring issue of the ALUMNI MAGAZINE. TWO national ski museums have been established. One is the National Ski Hall of Fame in Ishpeming, Mich., the site of the famous ski jump. Among the men honored there is BernWoods of Hanover. Bern is presently at the Cardigan Mountain School as instructor in French. The second museum is the Western American Skisport Museum in the Squaw Valley region of California.
