1915

Once again we are faced with producing a column in late October for publication in December—some six weeks later. We hope that the material available from classmates will prove as interesting to read as it has been to corral.

First of all, may we express deep appreciation for the card signed by 34 classmates, each in his own handwriting, compiled on the occasion of the Interim Reunion of October 14, 15, 16 which the writer was unable to attend. What a party that must have been! And how thoughtful it was to provide the signatures of all those present. I wish that space here would permit reproducing them.

A birthday card from Doc Daisy hopes all is well in this department with good and other kinds of happiness—and a plug for a continuation of the part played by this writer in behalf of Class spirit.

A communication from Dan Daniell says the dry season, with only light rains out in Green Bay has limited his lawn cutting this past summer, for which he was grateful. He takes the occasion to express himself against coeducation at Dartmouth—just because some other colleges have come out in favor of it. It doesn't behoove this writer to express an opinion in this regard.

Marv Frederick phones in with a recounting of a good trip to Hawaii, fine weather, and back to New York for the winter. He reports a good turnout for the Interim Reunion along with beautiful foliage.

The Bob Griffins up at Yonkers come up with a card with several foreign language greetings—fortunately one was in English—expressing regret we couldn't have joined them for the Hanover reunion.

George Ingalls reported a visit with some cousins in Oregon and Washington where they had a good look at the rocky Oregon coast and a grand view of Mt. Ranier in Washington. They were further confronted with an all-time snow storm of 21 inches plus record September low temperatures. George was confronted with cleaning up the mess of broken limbs around the place in Boulder which Indian summer finally helped accomplish.

George Martin reports that Kike Richardson has finally agreed to lay off his many activities, at least some of them, due to an arthritic condition, but still plans to see all possible Dartmouth games this fall. Kike's long record of parties for Dartmouth men have gone down in history and his legion of friends can never forget what he has contributed in this respect down through the years. George reports that Chink Chamberlain and Bush Campbell were planning to take in some of the fall games in Hanover and that Ralph Brown had the same idea. Hope all of them made it

A note from Joel Harris, out in San Diego, sends greetings and reports he and Doris are OK and the same for ShortyGrays.

Doc and Priscilla Noyes sent best wishes from Duxbury, Mass., adding a cute note: "The same to the Child Bride!" (I hope my good wife takes that in stride!)

We had a good phone chat with Madelaine Bowler and were sure glad to learn that Jack's operation was completely successful and he expected to be out of the hospital in due course. A previous note from Jack, before his operation, revealed he was not too concerned but begrudged his having to be laid up for a while.

A card from George Dyke presented a lush picture of the Silver Dollar Bar at Jackson Hole, Wyoming, and sure made us thirsty. George accented the "thirsty angle!"

We had a good phone chat with Thornton Pray in October and, of course, we discussed and solved the affairs of the universe.

Eben dough's presentations are nothing if not challenging. It would be interesting to reprint some of them but space limitations here suggest they be held for later rendition. Glad to know Marjory is doing well and was able to attend Reunion and the Dartmouth-Harvard game.

With which, we wind up this issue with the earnest wish that Christmas and the New Year will bring the happiness and progress that will be gratifying to all.
