1923
Two major migrations to Hanover will mark the football season next fall: the opening Ivy League game with Penn, October 9, and Yale's first football appearance in Hanover in over 80 years, October 30. The question, recently raised, as to whether we should shift the Fall Class Reunion to the Yale game weekend this year has been resolved in favor of the now traditional early weekend in October. If you plan to make only one visit to Hanover, do make it then. The usual get-together Friday night and the Class meeting and the cocktail hour and dinner on Saturday are scheduled for that weekend.
Rooms are being held for us at Howard Johnson's White River Motel and at the new Holiday Inn nearby, for both weekends. These rooms are available for a minimum stay of both Friday and Saturday nights on either or both of these weekends. At the Holiday Inn all of our ten rooms have twin beds. At Howard Johnson's we already have several rooms taken. Three rooms with twin beds and five rooms with one double bed each are still available for October 8 and 9. Seven twin bed rooms are left for October 29 and 30,
Send your request for a room to T. S. Barstow, Dunster Drive, Hanover, N. H. 03755. Send no advance payment now but. for the Bth and 9th, please do indicate your choice of a twin or a double bed room or, if necessary, willingness to take a double bed room. Ted will send you a confirmation of your motel reservation and a bill for an advance payment to cover our deposits at the two motels.
Ruel Smith and Bob McMillan are now laboring on the second edition of 23's Golden Review. You should receive your copy soon after you read these notes. The third edition will appear this fall coincident with our October reunion. The hard working editors have a back log of some 30 questionnaires available for this later issue. They need at least twice that number. Your secretary has received a number of most complimentary letters on the first issue. Won't you, who haven't already done so. take a few minutes—NOW—and send in your Questionnaire. Photographs do an awful lot to liven up these pages— FASE—includes yours.
Thanks to George Whiteside for thefine picture of himself, John Foster and Spike Hamilton. This picture appeared in the June 1939 issue of ALUMNI MAGAZINE. We're tucking it away in the archives, along with some other early ones, for possible use by Irish in "Skiddoo."
George advises us that Joe Houston came to Vero Beach two years ago and that there are twelve Dartmouth men now living there. George plans to be at our 50th.
Peg Corrigan (Bill's widow) writes from Siesta Key, Fla., that she may decide to live in Florida permanently. Says she often sees Sherm and Bert Clough who live nearby. Peg says that learning Braille is like learning a new language, but that she has now received her certificate from the Library of Congress as a certified transcriber, and finds this work for the blind infinitely rewarding.
Alice Flanigan writes that she and Irish celebrated their 46th wedding anniversary in January with Alice's brother and his wife who also' have a place at Delray Beach, Fla Alice says she and Irish often see Freddie and Betty Davis, Marian andEd Furey, Charlie and Helen Rivoire,Jeannette and Ken Quencer, Mim andSam Home, Adah and Art Everit, Beaand Herb Home, and Vi and WalterFriend. Irish adds that he and Alice expect to return north about the first of May.
You'll be gald to hear that JohnnyAllen, who was in the hospital over Christmas, was released in time for New Year's. His letter reflects all the old Allen spirit.
Dick Kershaw to whom I am indebted for the three preceeding items says that Dolly is experiencing distressing side effects from the cancer drugs she's taking which make it difficult to write. The Kershaws are planning to return to Old Lyme for their 24th summer however.
Word comes to us of the election of Jim Landauer as a director of Marlennan Corporation. Marlennan is the parent company of Landauer Associates, real estate consultants; Marsh and McLennan, international insurance brokers and the Putnam Management Company, investment adviser to the Putnam group of mutual funds.
Karl Williams represented the College at the recent inauguration of Karl J. Jacobs as President of Rock Valley College at Rockford, Ill.
On March 20 we heard from the College that Lou Wilcox had gone to Mary Hitchcock Hospital for a periodic check-up. After a series of tests it was decided that Lou was suffering from a brain tumor. We have talked with Peg several times, as have many others of us. Lou was operated upon on March 26. As we write these notes at the end of March we are unable to give you a report of the outcome. He is of course seriously ill and will find it necessary to give up his work as Head Class Agent. For many years Lou has dedicated much of his time and thought to working for the Class. We will sorely miss his devotion to the sometimes unrewarding job of keeping 1923 in the forefront of Alumni Fund activities.
Prior to his illness Lou, with Peg's considerable help, had lined up all the lists, mailing pieces, and other preliminary data necessary to kick off the Alumni Fund on April 1. The Executive Committee is very nappy to announce that Clarence Goss has taken over Lou's responsibilities as Head Class Agent. Well known to the class and active for many years in the affairs of both the College and the Class, Clarence will also bring to his new job a long and successful background of business and community experience.
Dr. Jim Hennessy '23 recently spent two months aboard the hospital ship, S.S.HOPE, at Kingston, Jamaica, the latest of many HOPE cruises for the Hartford,Conn., physician. The ship has been in Kingston since January on a ten-monthmedical teaching and treatment mission.
