1911
Don Cheney in Orlando, Fla., was presented recently with a Dartmouth platter by the local Dartmouth Club. See the March issue of 'LEVEN UP for the story of his many outstanding activities and accomplishments as told by "The Orlando, Fla. Sentinel," Jan. 2, 1971.
Sherwood Trask. The Pageant Press, 101 Fifth Ave., New York City, has published Deac's book "The Interweaving Poetry of American History." Both he and Marion comment on how much they enjoy 'LEVEN UP.
Duke Wheatley continues to play golf every day at Orange City, Fla., where he has been hibernating the last fifteen winters.
Brad Patten was invited a year ago to be one of the guest speakers at the Congress of the International Academy of Pathologists in Milan, Italy. See the March issue of 'LEVEN UP for details.
Sam Aronowitz was made happy by receiving a number of letters in response to his on the Bequest Program—says all complimentary except some unhappiness about the phasing out of R.O.T.C.
Harold Burtt spent his professional life teaching psychology but when he retired switched interests to ornithology. This took the form of banding birds for the Wild Life Service. Some of these banded birds are found (usually dead) by some one who sends in the band number to the Wild Life Service. In this way one learns something about where the birds migrate and how long they live. He bands thousands of birds each year. Harold suggests many of us might help Mert out with Class Notes items about our own hobby activities (or even memories of special experiences with same). Ken Clark suggests we have a "Lest We Forget" section which would give some of our men something to write about rather than themselves.
Hopper Allison reports: "I have a grandson in the freshman class. Many of you have had this pleasant experience but this is my first. It recalls every detail of the fall of 1907—even that victory of 22-0 over Harvard. Now comes Dartmouth 38-Princeton 0.
"I don't know how long the College has been showing sufficient interest in freshman to write to their parents after their first term, giving a report on his scholastic status and explaining some of the problems a boy faces in adjusting to college life. It states not to worry if a little of the campus unrest is evident and realize that for the first time he is on his own and is exploring many new vistas. It is a most useful letter. I can't remember that we worried much about our own children when they were in college. (My two sons were graduates.) Grandchildren are different, as today's youth live in a different world. I have read and re-read the article in the December ALUMNI MAGAZINE on Campus Unrest taken from the Scranton Report. If those experts can't find the answer, how can a stupid grandfather?"
Dutch Irwin tangled with his second hernia scramble but with what great success!!—operation, Tuesday; walking, Wednesday; home, Thursday, and business as usual on Friday.
Kae Sanderson returned to Palm Springs, Fla., address P. O. Box 1180, for the winter to carry out her third and last term as president of the Crippled Children's Society and Rehabilitation Center for Children and Adults, Inc. in Palm Beach. She expects to join us in Hanover June 1113, 1971. Her memories of so many good times she and Bob had with 1911 are cherished ones.
Bill and Dorothy Gooding are planning to move to an apartment close by their present home so their house which he built after retiring from the job of Superintendent of Buildings in Hanover in 1957 is up for sale. He thinks this might be of interest to anyone who loves the seacoast region of New Hampshire and wants to retire to a home built for "Living on the Level" a la Barry Wills. Their address will remain the same—P.O. Box 146, Rye, N.H. 03870.
Mrs. Thornton Chase, Livie, writes from Jackson, Miss., how much she misses the Burleighs who usually stopped to visit on their way to and from Florida. Lest we forget, "Heinie" was one of our good men on the freshman baseball team.
Stan Macomber now qualifies as the 1911 computer expert. Following all the publicity about how young our fine new football coach is (Jake Crouthamel, age 32) he tossed a lot of statistics into his machine and came up with: McCornack appointed in 1901—age 26; O'Connor 1907—age 29; Lillard 1909—age 28; Spears 1917—age 23 and Cannell 1921-age 25.
Bendy Griswold reports that our Lin-Yi-Ho who has been through so many tragic experiences has apparently had a ray of light filter through. For years he has written of his regret at his inability to pay class dues but is delighted that he is now in a position to do so. Bendy also reports on class dues as of mid January: eleven paid for 1969-1970 but have not yet paid for 1970-1971. One paid for 1970-1971 but did not pay for 1969-1970. Five who paid for 1969-1970 died (had not paid for 1970-971).
