1914

These June notes are written in May with a tip of the hat to summer, and a have-a-good-one to all of you as these news columns go on sabbatical until fall.

June is the month of birthday candles for several of our ever young classmates: BillBreslin, mending his broken hip in Upper Darby, Pa., Harry Cook near the Hudson in Tarrytown, N. Y.; Howard Fahey, our non-letter writer holed up in Dunedin, Fla., our good professor Erie Fairfield in Wilkinsburg, Pa., George French whose last address was Mystic Valley Parkway, Winchester, Mass.; Harold Morse of Ukiah, Calif., Win Snow of Epping, N. H., whose views on some of the sights he saw in Hanover suggest he keep away from Washington during protest demonstrations.

Finally we have Rodney Woodman of Milford, N. H., and to all we send Happy Birthday and a wish to hear from you.

There is much literary talent in our class and I reported that Enders Voorhees was our latest entry into the ranks of authors. To welcome summer, however I turn to our class poet whose latest pen name should be read in a mirror.

WELCOME SUMMER—BUT

Surly heavens now yield place To lambent, smiling sky;

We hear the gently purling brook And—whack! That blankety-blank black fly!

We love those lazy, fleecy clouds Shifting, drifting by, But, Heavens above, we've little love For that blankety, blank black fly!

So, when I redesign our world, From Earth to up on high, Beyond a doubt I'll sure leave out Yes—whack, by gosh! again, by gosh— That blankety, blank black fly!

Surely in other pages of this issue you will read of the events and excitement of this year's Class Officers' Weekend held in Hanover April 30 and May 1.

To join Virgie Stiles and Abe Newmark Martha and I drove down. Neither Sig Larmon nor Edgar Elkins could make it nor could Lay Little whose own weekend was spent in the Mary Hitchcock Hospital. We did have the great pleasure of finding Kathy Remsen staying at the Hanover Inn and of visiting with her.

Most important of all meetings attended was one that almost filled Dartmouth Hall at which top interest centered on whether or when Dartmouth will become truly coed. Only the next months can answer but as your representatives we voted in favor of more voices being heard before final crossing of the Rubicon.
