1918

Baron von Kapff and his team led the Green Derby of the Alumni Fund till 1915 sprinted ahead via near $5,000 income from five memorial funds, amounts which are tabulated after all other donations are listed. Dead or alive, the grand seniors who taught us to love the College are ever hard to excel.

Congratulations to Syl Morey for his election to the Executive Committee of the General Association of the Alumni College. Syl reports the June meeting with Indian leaders at Harper's Ferry, which he and his Myrin Institute conducted, was a great success. From the material developed, it is planned to produce a book and TV program.

Spud Proctor wrote from Westport Point, Mass., that he and Mable were returning to Fort Pierce, Fla., where we can find them listed in the phone book.

The obit for Larry Pope in the July issue was thoughtfully written by DickWhite.

Bob and Mildred Fish report they simmered and summered at home, getting prepared for their annual trip East to visit their daughter who is a professor at Drexel Institute in Philadelphia.

Betty and Tom Bryant in August had the pleasure of the company of LesterGranger as an overnight guest. He left with this message to the Class, "The longer away from Dartmouth the more dear the place becomes and the older we get the more fond I am of you all." Les is still the same modest, sincere chap and a most stimulating person.

In May, his honor, the former Mayor of the village of Asharoken, Long Island, our Ben Mugridge, spoke to the Huntington Chamber Executive Breakfast Club, using the topic "Business Men and Local Government." Ben was mayor from 1960 to 1969 and is one of the four founders of the

On August 18 at the Woodstock (Vermont) Inn a delightful luncheon was enjoyed by Steve and Dorothy Mahoney, Jake and Marian Bingham, Don and Irene Davis, George and Pat Stoddard, Chet Hulbert, Ed Booth, Lois Morse, Stump and Ethel Barr and Tom Bryant. All missed Dwight and Peg Sargent, Ted and Helen Hazen, George von Kapff and his sister, all of whom had to cancel plans to attend.

At the luncheon we overheard SteveMahoney tell that he and Dorothy were traveling to Schenectady to attend the 50th wedding anniversary of Neal and LenaSheldon. Neal also wrote that it would be an open house sponsored by their sons, sort of a double affair, for their business will be taken over by others on October 1.

Bill and Eva Montgomery could not make the luncheon. Bill has had a series of operations which we trust will restore him to his usual vigor. Their two older daughters are harvesting and preserving the corn, spuds, squash, and tomatoes which Bill and Eva planted.

Co-chairmen George Stoddard and EdFelt met in May with Tom Shirley,Stump Barr, Dick White and Georgevon Kapff to formulate plans for our Fiftyfifth Reunion. The slogan is "Your classmates want to see you in Hanover June 8, 9, 10 of 1973."

From Buffalo Ed sent us the following message: "At this time the reunion committee is still mostly concerned about providing good accomodations for all '18ers and their ladies at the 55th, next June 8-10. In addition to the dorm — completely renovated Fayerweather — a number of rooms will be available at the Inn for those classmates and their wives who need the extra comfort. The Inn rooms this year will be especially convenient because we will have a Class breakfast each morning in the Tavern Room. Just get up, get on the elevator and join your friends.

Stump Barr is keeping watch of the Inn and will claim for us the next priority after the Trustees and honorary degree recipients. Note however that if you need a room at the Inn you must write directly there to reserve it. Do that early."
