1942

The fall foliage in the vicinity of Hanover is magnificent at the time of this writing. Particularly beautiful are the leaves on the large trees in the area around the green which has changed very little in its appearance over the past 20 years. A major change in the Dartmouth scene, however, is the loss of our first two football games, but even that change can't last. Our green team has too much talent and too much spirit to keep it down. Continued strong college support from the Class of '42 is bound to have a strong positive effect.

He also notes that of the 11 Dartmouth graduates living in the Philippines one of tne most Prominent is Jim Froude who is a commercial pilot and aircraft maintenance engineer for several private companies.
