1912

Lily Linscott answers our birthday letter to Rollie giving the latest news. "Rollie keeps quite alert mentally, but there are times when he gets quite confused. He has lost ground during the past year, physically, and has had difficulty in standing at all recently. In spite of his physical limitations he is cheerful and tells some of his pet stories to some of the other patients at the home when he is in the mood." We are grateful to Lily and feel certain some of his college friends will want to send him a cheerful word of greeting to Salem Road, Pound Ridge, N.Y. 10576."

Our classmate in far off South Africa, BishopBrown, is sending your secretary a year's subscription to South African Panorama for which we are grateful. It is a beautiful 10½ x 13¼" monthly publication containing a wealth of pictures, both black and white and colored, of the many activities of that country as well as of the unusual animals and the exotic flowers.

The latest from Sam Hobbs enclosed an American Concrete Institute publication showing our classmate receiving the "Sam Hobbs Service Award" and also a group picture of the ten past presidents of the Southern California Chapter with Secretary-Treasurer Sam in the front row.

Jimmy Oneal spent the last summer in Pasadena for the first time in many years. He says his and Mildred's health did not permit their return to their favorite State of Indiana so they sold the old home there which had been in the family since the beginning of the century.

Apparently Syd Clark's accident, reported in our last column was more serious than he indicated to us, as he was obliged to cancel his plans for a month in Great Britain and a glamorous travel convention in Mexico. Physiotherapy was necessary over an extended period but we trust he is making a good recovery and looking forward to the New Year.

Another leaf has fallen from our class tree. Johnson O'Connor died suddenly on July 1, 1973 in Mexico City following a business session of several days in Southern Mexico. This brings our number down to 57. Johnny came to Dartmouth from the same high school in Chicago as did the two James, Oneal and Steen, and Hap Wanner.

We are all saddened by the tragic death of Sam Aronowitz 'll. He was a power for good in the City of Albany, N.Y., and one of Dartmouth's finest sons.

May the Christmas season be a joyful one and the New Year bring you many blessings.

The first recipients of the Lester K. Little 1914 Scholarship and first brother-sisterscholarship winners in Dartmouth's history are Freshman Evelyn and Sophomore HilaryChan of Worthington, Ohio, here with beaming Lay Little of Cornish, N.H.
