1920

Clint Johnson, retired banker, became a great grandfather in 1971. This year, 1972, Clint is wintering in Florida thus joining that migratory group of classmates who find the rigors of winter above the Mason and Dixon line less attractive than the balmy breezes of the Florida peninsular.

Russ Jones, who homesteads on The Hill, North Salem, N. Y., is a breeder of Norwich terriers of championship stock. One of his bitches gave birth to six puppies last autumn. Their sale should help out with the income taxes, Russ, and at the same time give their owners much pleasure.

Frank Moulton, sometimes known as "F.G.", quietly and busily practices law in Littleton, N. H. He has added another new associate in his office. The young man is a Yale law graduate who had the good sense to see the attractiveness of a law practice in the Northern New England area in lieu of association with a larger big city law firm. Writing about Frank reminds me that Laura and I had the good fortune to view Jim Moulton's collection of paintings in his newly constructed summer gallery at 9 Huntley Road, Hanover, where Frank and Kay reside. Young Jim is making great progress as an artist. He does much of his painting in Mexico—Acapulco—and in the Southwest—Arizona. In a recent competition held by the Currier Art gallery in Manchester, N. H., Jim -had two of his paintings selected from the many submitted and among the 80 chosen. Perhaps some day the Hopkins Center will have an exhibit devoted solely to living Dartmouth artists, e.g., Sample, Gish, Dearborn, and Moulton, et alia.

Jack Brotherhood writes that he is now re-established in his Florida home following a series of temporary residences in Rhode Island and Connecticut while convalescing from an operation performed at a wellknown Boston clinic.

Dal Dalrymple admits to "putting in 20 hours a week" in a nearby shopping center drugstore. When seasonal weather conditions permit, Dal can be seen with his paint cans and brush busily applying a new coat of paint to his lovely Meriden, N. H., residence. This old-fashioned New England method of never quite finishing the paint job allows the home owner to take up next year where he left off last year thereby permitting him to say his house is "always newly painted."

Ed Curtis has migrated by this time to Fort Lauderdale, Fla., for the winter. And John Everett Hill and Eva left their Rutland, Vt., home for the sunny south early in December.

It is with regret that it must be reported that Richard Courtney Lux passed on at the age of 75 on November 24, 1971. His obituary appears in this or in a subsequent issue of the Alumni Magazine. Our sympathy is extended to his wife, Elizabeth, and his son, William, and his family.

It was great to see Al Frey and Hope in Hanover the week-end of the Cornell game. Al Foley has already written about this occasion in TWENTY but it seems clear at this point that Dean Emeritus Frey plans another visit to Hanover, come spring, to reune with the infamous surviving membership of the Agazziz Basin Club. This club, which originated in the thirties was the brain child of Frey and the late HarryWilliam Sampson. Its main purpose was discussion, without limits as to subject, place, or time.

One of my most faithful Florida correspondents, Laddie Myers, reports that five members of the Class were present at the October meeting of the St. Pete Alumni Association—Macomber, Fiske, Sigler,Whitaker, and Myers. By special wire the same five, plus Hazel Macomber, joined a large Dartmouth crowd to get the report of the Harvard game. Can't you see them holding on to the bottom of their seats awaiting Perry's deliverance of that winning goal. As Ralph McIninch (Harvard), with whom I have a standing small bet on that game, put it "a most expensive two seconds."

We salute lake Crouthamel and his fine young assistants for a fine football season. He deserves our coach-of-the-year award.

Now that Dartmouth enters the third century as a coeducational institution, it behooves us to give some thoughts to Dartmouth songs and the wording thereof. For example, "men of Dartmouth" cannot be sung after 1972 without exhibiting gross chauvinism. Perhaps the girls can substitute "Maids" for "Men" and for "sturdy sons of Dartmouth" they can sing the "gorgeous gals of Dartmouth" or "the sprightly maids of Dartmouth". Certainly a real challenge is posed for the Dartmouth Music Department and the Glee Club. Any suggestions?

Adios, amigos.
