1916

George Dock Jr. died at the Massachusetts General Hospital on October 21 after a brief illness. The sincere sympathy of the Class of 1916 goes to his family.

Marion and Arthur Marsden enjoyed their two weeks in Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. Despite a rough crossing from Bar Harbor to Yarmouth on the "Bluenose" in a fog, followed by ten inches of rain in Halifax, "Prince Edward Island is simply beautiful." This is the right attitude toward the weather. Edgar Craver's grandson Ben, son of John Craver '50, recently won the Edgar Craver Racing Trophy on Webster Lake, 35 boats of all types competing. Ben's boat is a Sailfish. Kay and Dick Parkhurst had a pleasant visit with the Fullers in North Hampton, N. H. recently, and . . . "found both Gran and Ruth feeling fit." Good.

Herb Lord writes to Jim Colton, Class Treasurer of the Year: "I salute you, Jim. I did not attend the 55th, but added the cost to the Alumni Fund."

Christine and Dan Lindsley recently visited Lake Tahoe, a spot which they have enjoyed on pilgrimage annually for 20 years. On the way home they had lunch with Carl Eskeline in Santa Barbara. He supplied them with oranges and lemons and even let them pick an avocado in his back yard. They also reviewed the 55th with the class picture in hand and ... "enjoyed the visit." Sounds like fun.

Violet and Dick Ellis have had a good summer and say, "Other than our Hanover trip and a couple of short trips to the seashore in New Hampshire and Maine, we have been pretty quiet except when our grandchildren were with us for a few days." Bessie and Israel Eigner recently took a trip to San Francisco to see their grandson David, son of Richard Eigner '51, stopping on the way to visit their son Joseph Eigner '55. They left their son Larry with his brother Joseph in St. Louis and met him at the airport on the return trip. Larry is the author of a volume of poems "Valleys, branches," several of which have appeared in periodicals.

Bruce Ford Bundy has been memorialized by a $50,000 endowment established by his sister, Mrs. John McC. Scott of Pasadena. The income is to be used to help defray costs of travel for the 50-voice Dartmouth Glee Club on its annual concert tours. Bruce's long-time interest in music is also remembered in Hopkins Center where the choral director's office is named for him under the terms of a gift from his other sister, the late Mrs. Alfred Carpenter of Medford, Ore. Bruce died in Honolulu in 1939.

Oliver Frederiksen, our only classmate permanently in residence in Europe, says, "No weddings, divorces, births or deaths to report but my greetings to all remaining Sixteeners and their families down to the fourth generation." I wish all those referred to by Freddie would write me a letter. Never mind your spelling. Remember Bert Fifield? Put a sign in his store window "Waits guessed. 25 cents." So many tourists wanted their weights guessed that Bert had to tell them "I guess you'll have to wait about ten minutes." Bert just flung the quarters into a bushel basket, until he ran out of baskets.
