19l4
After delving into the depths of Black Art it has become clear that the following members of our class, whose birthdays fall in November, were born under the sign of Scorpio, the Scorpion; Campion, Foss, Piatt, Brown, and Austin, whereas Saltmarsh, and, Webber were born under the sign of Sagittarius, the Archer. They are hereby entitled to all of the rights and privileges appurtenant thereto as a result of this distinction and our best wishes go with them.
It was good to hear again from Jeff Beals who writes to us from his home in Boca Raton, Fla. "Elinor and I were on a trip up north when your birthday greeting was delivered, visiting her relatives in Delmar, N.Y., and mine on Cape Cod in Hyannis and Orleans.
"I had intended to write to you long before this to congratulate you on doing such a splendid job as secretary and newsletter editor. I was greatly intrigued by your story about Violet, that fascinating girl who lived in Lebanon, and I was sorry it had to end.
"I was sorry also to miss our 60th Reunion. My ability to walk has not improved with the passing years (arthritis) and I don't like to be far away from my car. Fortunately, both Elinor and I can still drive. I enjoyed your accounts of the Reunion in the July Magazine and also in the newsletter. Tried to identify our classmates in the group picture but felt sure only of you, Rufe Sisson, Lize Wheelock, and Lay Little.
"Elinor and I lead a very quiet life here and seldom get out socially. However, I belong to the Dartmouth Club of the Palm Beaches which has a luncheon meeting once a month from December to May. They are a nice friendly group and have two 1913 regulars in George Davidson and Cap Avery but I am the only fourteener to attend."
Writing from his home town of Providence, R.I., Ray Trott sends his thanks for congratulatory birthday greetings with the sage remark that 'we are not getting any younger."
Although long since retired, I have an office in the Rhode Island Hospital Trust National Bank building and am a director and member of several committees. In the summer I divide my time between Providence and Maine and in the winter try for a short time in the warmer climate."
We have a short note from Mary G. (Mrs. Roger C.) Carroll: "I do, indeed, enjoy the class notes in the Alumni Magazine and the 1914 Newsletter. Through some office oversight I had never received a copy of the Magazine since Bill passed away until I called the office one day last year. oversight was promptly corrected.
I have a current personal interest now with our two granddaughters thinking about going to Dartmouth. I hope they will continue their interest since their grandfather would be so happy about it.
"I do enjoy the Magazine very much and look forward to its arrival each month. It is good to keep in touch with Ham . My son Henry, '50, is now living in Florida.
Mrs. Hammond Barnes, Providence, R. I."
"Sorry I'm so late with my answer to your kind note, I'm still very much interested in the Dartmouth Alumni Magazine. It reminds me of many happy occasions which Caleb and I both enjoyed with the class of 1914.
Grace M. (Mrs. Caleb H.) Niles"
The Great-Grandfather Derby is still running. According to our latest report Hen Lowell and Doc Kingsford are running neck and neck. Hen now has seven great-grandchildren and Doc has six, with another just about due.
There should be other classmates who can boast having as many or more but, if there are, they have not made themselves known as yet.
