1914
From Chairman Vogic Stiles come Holiday Greetings to all of the 1914 family: "Another holiday season is upon us which should give us all pause to count our blessings and, looking forward, to anticipate the joys of joining with family and friends at this time of good fellowship and happy memories.
We remember our departed classmates and send special greetings to those of us who maybe ill or handicapped in any way.
Let us all enjoy this season of good cheer as we look forward to our coming year of reunion."
The other officers of our class join with Vogie in wishing for all the 1914 family a joyous Christmas and health and vigor during the years ahead.
After consulting our unofficial astrologer we have been advised that the following men whose birthdays fall in December were born under the sign of Saggitarius, The Archer; Curtis, Da" son, Donovan, Hallett, and McLaughlin, while Edson, Gardner, and Wheelock were born under the sign of Capricornus, The Goat. They are hereby entitled to exercise all of the rights an privileges appurtenant thereto as a result of this distinction.
Let's hope that the Archer doesn't get anyone's Goat.
The Class of 1914 made a truly remarKable showing in the Alumni Fund drive this past spring and our Class Agent Abe Newmark deserves great credit for piloting his crew of assistants to an outstanding result.
We were leading in the Green Derby all the way, right up to the last week, and "All but salted it away," as Abe says, only to be nosed out at the finish line by the class which we helped to bring Up.
Al Humphries, writing from his new address at "54355 Park Hast, 6B Solon, Ohio 44139 asks, "Is it possible that anyone would be interested, at this staae in my career, in what the vicisitudes of Hfe have done to or for me? However, I have been very fortunate and am exceptionally healthy, for which I am very grateful. My most recent thrill was a ride with our grandson on his motor cycle.
"I have pleasant recollections of those Sun- birt reunions at Reddington Beach in Florida during the seven years that my wife and I wintered at Lake Wales and I hope that they will experience a renaissance.
"So that's the way it is and, as the Tampa TV broadcaster used to signature, "Win or lose, be a good sport."
Early last October Gail Gardner was written up in a very interesting article in The ArizonaRepublic of Phoenix along with quotations from his famed song entitled "Tying a Knot in the Devil's Tail."
Gail, who is a storyteller beyond comparison, described for the benefit of the newspaper correspondent a few of the highlights of the life of a cowboy as he experienced it way back in the wild 19205.
Although today Gail confines his cow- punching activities to 'throwing the bull' while settled comfortably in his arm chair, the picture in the paper shows him and his wife Delia looking hale and hearty before the painting which depicts the act of tying knots in the Devil's tail.
Dorothy S. Sargent (Mrs. Gorham P.) writes to us from her home in Riverton, N.J., as follows: "Gorham and I owned a summer house at Gloucester, Mass., where I go every summer and my eight grandchildren come to visit off and on so it is a great pleasure to be able to entertain them and have them enjoy the good beach.
"Both my son and I read the DartmouthAlumni Magazine with great interest."
This past spring and summer has been a sad period of attrition for our class. During that time we have lost the following members: Ralph S. Woodman on March 22, Lawrence Barsaloux on April 18, Arthur H. Dearing on May 8, Howard H. Potter on June 16, James B. Shields on June 28, Gilbert L. McDonough on June 29, Pennell N. Aborn on July 15, George P. Little on August 5, and Harold G. Van Riper on August 12.
Complete obituaries will appear in this or a forthcoming issue of the Magazine. The sympathy of the members of our class goes out to the family of each of these men who have passed on.
