1916
Rudolph Rex Reeder Jr. died on August 9, 1971. George Pasfield Kreider died on November 27, 1971. Obituaries will appear in this or a later issue. The sympathy of the Class of 1916 is extended to their families.
Ray Devoe says "Hanover will be quite a place in the future with four terms and two sexes. Too bad the clock can't be turned back." Ralph Parker says "So they decided to let the girls in after all. Well, guess we'll just have to live with it."
May Tucker visited the family of her godchild in Burlington, Vt., recently and reports that they "have piles of snow." EvaKiley spent the holidays at Ormond Beach with her son Jim '53 and reports that she "is within walking distance of BettyWilson."
Ruby MeFalls says he "had a very nice lunch with Shorty Hitchcock recently. What we planned as a da-diddy Dartmouth reunion turned out to be a da-diddy Detroit reunion, as Shorty and my wife graduated in the same class from Central High in 1912. Both had total recall."
Caroline Conley was recently married to Roger Welles who is a Yale man. He says that when they attend Yale-Dartmouth games one of them is sure to be happy. I am sure they will both be happy.
Russel and Edith Leavitt enjoyed their trip to Yukatan so much that they plan another trip early in Feburary... "to some of the islands in a large Dutch steamship—ten decks, six elevators, etc."
Hugo and Ginny Gumbart have rented an apartment in Delray Beach from February to April. Hugo says "It is too small to put anyone up overnight but large enough to open a bottle."
Roy Burghardt says "On the topic of coeducation I am inclined to second the question raised by Ruby McFalls in the BALMACAAN ATHLETIC CLUB NEWS." (Ruby's question was "WHY?"-Ed.)
Jake Bingham, editor of THE 1918 ROAR, issues the following hospitable invitation: "Balmacaaners are welcome at the 1918 annual Pow-Wow held at the Hotel Sheraton in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, on March 14, 1972. Social hours 5-7 p.m. Dinner at 7. Wives too. Write to Tom Jones, 100 Royal Palm Way, Boca Raton, Florida, that you will attend."

Letters from classmates are coming in a little better lately but the bundle still isn't fat enough to present any problem. Ed Twitchell really had a problem, though. When he carried Miss Driscoll down the ladder at the Bon Ton Apartment House fire he said "Etta is so fat that I thought maybe I would have to make two trips." That's the way it goes here. How are things out your way? Write and tell me all about it.
