1919

A note from Cliff Daniels '18 cordially invites all '19ers who will be in the area to attend the annual '18 POW WOW to be held at the Sheraton in Fort Lauderdale. The first day is March 11 with dinner at 7:00 P.M. and cocktails before and the second day is March 12 with luncheon at 1:00 with "appropriate libations at noon." Will those of you who plan to make this most enjoyable affair kindly advise Cliff at 1221 S.E. sth Street, Deerfield Beach, Fla.

To show that the College is not composed entirely of hippies and Students for Democratic Society and other "protesters" the following is quoted from the Bulletin of December 6. "Thanks-Giving in Hanover this year was a hyphenated word in reverse, as there was a lot of 'Giving' by undergraduates and the College community and a lot of Thanks' on the part of some 165 ABC (A Better Chance) youngsters. Thirty-five Dartmouth undergraduates gave up their own Thanksgiving to remain in Hanover and act as planners and hosts to youth from racial minority and economically disadvantaged groups which converged on Hanover for a variety of programs over the holiday period. The young people included 60 Indians, 70 ABC secondary school students and 25 young Negro girls from the Boston area — and and all had a chance to talk and evaluate query concerning any phase of their lives, academic or otherwise. Members of the Dartmouth Afro-American Society were on hand to greet the secondary school students and shepherd them through a series of meetings, panel discussions, question-andanswer periods, movies and social events, while an equal number of white students remained on campus to cook Thanksgiving dinner and prepare other meals for the 60 Indian guests. The 25 girls from Boston toured and concentrated on the Hitchcock Nursing School. Indian students were able to question the Commissioner of the Bureau of Indian Affairs via closed circuit hookup to Washington and, appropriately, they had Thanksgiving dinner at the Outing Club on Occom Pond. It is estimated that this was the largest number of Indians gathered at Dartmouth at one time since the College was founded almost exactly 199 years ago, for the purpose, initially, of providing educational opportunities for Indians and other youths."

Many thanks to the Class for all the Christmas cards and, latterly, the birthday cards, and special thanks to Jack McCriJlis and Larry Eastman, and Bill Embree '21 who have been "regulars" on the latter event for many years.

Jack Reilly thanks the Class for his birthday card and remarks, "it must be quite a chore sending them." Yes, Jack, it is, and that is one reason why your Secretary is bowing out after twenty yearsthe Class needs some new blood on this job. The Irish Flanigans '23 are back in Delray Beach for their annual stay, and like many of us, just finished bouts with the Hong Kong flu and are hoping for some warmer weather (70 degrees isn't warm enough although some different from our last reports from Hanover). Permanent residents here include King Cole, Don Lovejoy (part time) and Ed and Ginny Bowen and Jack and Kay Brotherhood both '20. Speaking of that eminent class, we had a nice visit and lunch with Charlie and Frances McGoughran who had as house guest Laddie Myers, over from Clearwater. The old pole vaulter looked in fine shape, but it is doubtful that Charlie can run as fast as he did fifty years ago.

Ray Adams, our most efficient treasurer and Registration Chairman for the 50th, took time, now that he is definitely retired, to make a trip to California to see their daughter. Be sure and keep Ray posted on your reunion plans.

It is obvious from these notes that news of '19ers has been very scarce lately so let's have a line on what you are doing and fast so it can appear in the March issue of the MAGAZINE.

The sympathy of the Class goes out to Stu Russell in the loss of Dorothy after a long illness. A memorial service was held in Hanover at St. Thomas' Episcopal Church.

Future visitors to the sunshine state include Rock and Alice Earl Hayes who will be at nearby Palm Aire in Pompano Beach, and Ed and Bea Martin who will be at the Breakers in Palm Beach in March, after a sojourn on the West Coast.
