1914

After consultation with a popular Swami it has been determined that the following members of our class, whose birthdays fall in October, were born under the sign of Libra, the balance: Margeson, Humphries, Kehayas, and Parker. Appurtenant thereto they are hereby entitled to receive and dispense justice and mercy.

Connie (Mrs. Francis Pooler) writes from Weston, Mass., to notify us of her new address at 36D Jericho Road and adds:

"Your accounts of the Reunion sounded so delightful that they made me feel sad not to have been there to share the fun with all the other members of the 1914 family but it was not possible for me to attend, what with moving and my ebbing vitality.

"I do so enjoy the Newsletter and am glad to feel a part of Dartmouth and the class of 1914. Frannie loved both so much."

"I am always happy to receive the DartmouthAlumni Magazine, I enjoy reading it almost as much as Lawrence did." Laura (Mrs. Lawrence F.) Barsaloux.

"I'm just an old Dartmouth widow who loves to read the Dartmouth Magazine and the 1914 Newsletter." Isabelle (Mrs. Joseph H.) Batchelder.

George Richardson sends us a bit of homely wisdom from the wilds of Littleton, N.H.:

"Out of sympathy for your thankless job of trying to extract information from delinquents like myself, I have decided to say 'Hello' at least. I am in reasonably good health and spirits and hoping to get down to Hanover for the festivities. During my time I've spent a good part of it in the woods and I get a big kick from visiting with the denizens of the wild. The old time woodsmen spend at least 75 percent of their waking hours in the woods and sometimes come up with fitting conclusions. I was visiting with Bill (last name unknown) and said to him, 'How come, Bill, that things have gone haywire, nothing going right?'. 'Easy,' said Bill, 'Too many bastards to the acre.' I thought that he should be handed a Ph.D. in human engineering."

Regarding the Indian Symbol, "I think that buzzard who squawked should feel the touch of Joe Brandt's scalping knife. I favor restoration of the symbol and also of ROTC. You didn't ask about the gals and I don't blame you, but it takes some getting used to."

From the Town of Wrentham, Mass., which is still a haven from contemporary woes, JohnWarren sends us a word: "I have retired except for one job, that of being Tax Assessor, which I have held for the last twenty-five years. The two office girls do all the work and I get all the credit. I still manage to get to the office each morning but stay there for only half a day. I am planning to go to our Reunion and my daughter is coming on from California and will drive me."

Enders Voorhees sends us greetings from New York City and says, "It seems a long time ago when you were in Wellesley and I was in Auburn, Massachusetts.

"I am in very good health but I am very sorry not to be able to go to our 60th Reunion since I have some family affairs to attend to at that time and we are moving up to Cape Vincent, our summer place, so that I shall be prevented from being in Hanover."

Gov. Foss sends us his apologies from his home in Duxbury, Mass.: "I haven't responded very well to your nudges to send something of interest for the Newsletter. Dirty sort of reaction when I enjoy reading the Letter so much. Fact is, I don't feel too well and since my gall bladder operation last March (1973) I haven't felt much like writing about the days of yore. I should, I know. Anybody who lived two years in Sanborn Hall should produce at ease an account of an event that occurred sixty years ago and not strain the truth a bit, but I can't do it. Same way about joining the Class for Reunion. Can't be done, but it is still pleasant to recall the old days."
