1942

Hanover was beautiful for the Princeton game. The outcome was even more beautiful. At the class meeting on Friday afternoon it was learned that the '42 Class gift to the College's Instructional Development Fund had been partially used by some members of the English Department for research in early American culture centered around Hartford, Conn. The plan is to eventually organize this information into a new course during the next year or two. A similar gift to the College for new course development was voted again for the current academic year. Hope was expressed that our Class will continue to be in a position to assist the College in a similar fashion for many years to come. The class meeting was followed by a most congenial cocktail party at the Tom Dent Cabin with a number of undergraduate sons and daughters in attendance. The Saturday picnic lunch in Ad Winship's backyard was attended by about 45 class members, exclusive of friends and family. The culmination of a most successful day was an excellent dinner at the Coolidge Hotel in White River.

Al and Bobby Britton's spacious new home overlooking the Connecticut River was visited by many class members in the morning before the Princeton game. Among those present were Don and MarionWilliamson who recently had returned from a trip to South Africa and Art Cox who was up from Washington, D. C., where he directs a school for retarded children. The game was the source of other new information: Dick Searles now is teaching English at the Cardigan School, Dick and Nancy Craw now are grandparents despite their continued youthful appearance, Cliff and Betty Fuller are seeing more football games each year and now are quite authoritative on Dartmouth sports, Dr. Jim O'Shea is practicing pediatrics in Andover, Mass. He and Ginger escape much less frequently than they would like to their new condominium in Acapulco.

On August 17, 1972 Dr. RichardPeebles was sworn in by Gov. Francis W. Sargent as a member of the Massachusetts Board of Registration for Psychologists. Dick is chief of psychology for the child psychiatry unit at the Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. His wife Phoebe is Curator of Archives for the Fogg Art Museum at Harvard.

Dr David Smith of Philadelphia has just published a book entitled, "Self-Assessment of Current Knowledge in Pediatrics." David also is an associateeditor of the Journal of Pediatrics.

Bob Strasenburgh has just been elected president of the Rochester-Monroe County Chapter of the American Red Cross. Bob also is the newly elected president of the Civic Music Association of Rochester, N. Y.

Mat and Jeanne Bride have proposed a '42 table in the Dartmouth tent at the Yale game. There are prospects for good Class attendance. This is a great idea which we hope to make an annual event.
