1914

After seeking the advice of a far famed necromancer it appears that the following men, whose birthdays occurred in May, were born under the sign of Taurus, The Bull: Kingsford,Files, Warren, Paul Smith, MacKinnon and Sleeper, while Main was born under the sign of Gemini, The Twins.

After due consultation with familiar spirits he has predicted long life and exceptional honor to those who were so fortunate in their heritage.

John Burleigh, writing to us from his alternate home in Winter Harbor, Me., is the bearer of good tidings. His wife Bunny, who is in the New York Hospital making a miraculous recovery after surgery to correct a hernia in the esophagus and to remove her gall bladder, is expected to return to their home before the middle of March. Bunny has had more than her share of ill health but it is our fond hope that she will have recovered sufficiently so that she and John will be able to join us in Hanover at Reunion June 7-9, 1974.

After a long silence, on his part, we were pleased to receive a note from Chet Barrows who writes to us from his home at 7811 Huron Street in Philadelphia, Pa. as follows:

"I doubt if you remember me since I left Dartmouth in our junior year and ultimately graduated from Boston University.

After teaching at the college level for some forty-five years, I retired in 1965 and am now living with my daughter's family here in Phila."

Lay Little, our Bequest Chairman, and Ruth have returned to their home in Cornish, N.H., after spending their usual winter vacation on a romantic tropical isle.

We have just received a letter from Lay which informs us that the College has received a bequest of $l0,000 from the estate of HowardPotter the annual revenue from which, according to his wishes, will be used to establish a fund in his name going to the College on an unrestricted basis.

This is a good example of how we, of the Class of 1914, can provide for the future strength of the College through the Bequest and Estate Planning Program.

Hod Potter, as he was affectionately known to those of us who were his classmates in Thayer School, served in the 26th Division of the U.S. Army during WW I. Returning after the war, he established an enviable reputation for himself as a water works engineer. He was water works superintendent in Port au Prince, Haiti, for six years but practiced his profession in the State of Maine for nearly thirty years.

Hod passed away on June 16, 1973 after a long illness.

From her home in Plainville, Conn.. MarthaCorliss (Mrs. Louis I.) sends us greetings as follows: "I am always so happy hearing from Lou's classmates and I enjoy reading the DartmouthAlumni Magazine, I would be lost without it. It makes me feel that I still belong.

"Charles and Bill, my two sons, are fine, Charles living in Somers, Conn., and Bill living in Mesa, Arizona.

"It is now over three years since Lou passed away and I have adjusted to my new life very well but, of course, I shall always miss dear Lou. We both loved our 'Dear Old Dartmouth,' it was a part of our lives and Dartmouth will always be in my heart. The reunions we attended were so wonderful. My wish to you all is: stay happy and keep a song in your heart. That is what I do every day."

Herb Austin has arranged a superb program for our big Reunion June 7-9, 1974. Y'all come! We hope to see you there.
