1915

It's indeed a challenge to write in November a column that is scheduled for publication in January. This is especially so with intervening miscellaneous holidays distracting one's attention. So, let the chips fall where they may!

First of all, being an old footballer, it is indeed uplifting, and worthy of mention, to note what a successful season Dartmouth had this year. I won't attempt, however, to compare it with any it was my pleasure to participate in.

Being a '15er, it was interesting to receive a letter from Hal Pinkham in which he remarked that men of 1915 are fortunate to have reached the age of 80 without the experience of spending a portion of that time in jail.

A November letter from Marion andMarvin Frederick gives an interesting description of their new home in Jamesburg, N. J., to which they recently moved. They were still in process of unpacking and disposing of surplus furniture but were quite thrilled with the new location within sight of the New Jersey Turnpike. We extend best wishes to them and lots of luck in the new location.

Informative letters from George Martin give interesting news about the growth of their family—so much so that they had to get 14 tickets for the Dartmouth-Yale game. Said tickets included a new fourth greatgrandson and news that Kike Richardson is O.K. and that his wife Pearl is coming along O.K.

A letter from Eben Clough said RogEvans sat next to them at The DartmouthHarvard game and Rog sent his best to this writer (Phil Murdock). We are glad to reciprocate this message and hope that this message will find subsequent Dartmouth games helped to wipe out the disappointment of the game they saw. Another later interesting dissertation from George Martin says that Priscilla Noyes has a new car and is taking up bowling which exercise she hopes to carry on with her friends. More power to her! Incidentally, DocNoyes is doing fine—which is good news. George further anticipates that the opening of the lobster season in December will build up their business a lot and bring a total reasonably approaching previous records.

With which, as a windup, we certainly hope that the New Year will bring us all a return to affluence which we all feel we have a right to anticipate. May our realization be in tune with our anticipation! Certainly, we have a right to expect that of a New Year!
