1918
Spud Proctor comes up with the report on the famous Florida Pow-Wow. He says they had a real good time. By 5 p.m., March 14, everyone was on the starting line at the Fort Pierce Holiday Inn, No. 1; and from then on it was apparently "the devil take the hindmost." Those attending were Tom and Martha Jones, Cliff and Adeline Daniels, Steve and Dorothy Mahoney, Monk and Ethel Cameron, Spud and Mabel Proctor, Cort Horr, Ben and Betty Mugridge, Al Gottschaldt, and King Cole '19. The firewater apparently flowed freely and the fine edge of bliss was soon attained and, wonder of wonders, maintained throughout the late afternoon and evening which included a delightful buffet dinner. At one point the "high jinks" was momentarily shelved and a resolution brought up by Al Gottschaldt to have a vote on the restoration of the Indian symbol. Those to be polled included the alumni, the faculty, the students, and the administration. Copies of this resolution were to be sent to the President, the Board of Trustees, the Alumni Countil, the editor of the Alumni Magazine and the editor and chief of the Daily Dartmouth. Copies were also to be sent to George Stoddard and JakeBingham. The resolution was approved by the eight '18ers in attendance. It was also voted to have next year's Pow-Wow at the same place. The committee will be Monk Cameron, SpudProctor and Ben Mugridge.
Further details I will leave to the tender mercies of Jake Bingham and The Roar. I should add that several prizes were won by the skillful competitors. The most intriguing one, at least to me would have been one of Spud's paintings. I did not know he was talented in this field but am not too much surprised.
From the Alumni Magazine office comes "Keats Column" in the Holyoke (Mass.) Transcript. Almost the whole column is devoted to the exploits of our classmate Gerry Geran as an intercollegiate and later a professional hockey player. Gerry was the first collegian in whom the pros took an interest. After graduation Gerry played with the Montreal Wanderers and the early Boston Bruins. This article is so long I am sending it on to Jake for more complete coverage. Your column in this Magazine is limited to 600 words. Gerry is given credit for forming the first hockey players association of which he became secretary.
Edwin Ferguson sends word of the passing of Ed Stanley's wife Edith. We all send our sympathy to Ed who has been in the Rest Home in Concord, Mass., for some time.
Dwight Edson just got back from a short visit to his sister in St. Petersburg, Fla. He two good visits with Ivan and Carolyn Prowattain - both fine. He talked by phone with Paul Miner who had just left the hospital. He expects to be back to normal in a short time which in his case perhaps means tennis.
Dwight and Mary are leaving Houston next week for their new condominium at a new country club in the Palm Springs area. Their address until June 1 will be 71 - 154 Valencia Drive, Rancho Morage, Calif. 92262. That is where Stew Teaze lives. They always visit the Teazes when out there.
I received a card from Cort Horr and Lukeand Ed Healey. They had a get-together at the Holiday Inn in Niles, Mich. Yesterday Cort stopped in and gave us a verbal report on the Pow-Wow.
