With the Dartmouth Alumni Fund having to battle Dow Jones, Inflation and Washington all at the same time, news of the Challenge Fund should quicken the heart of every loyal member of the Class. Imagine a matching gift equal to every increase over 1972 giving up to $10,000, and for every gift from the few who missed last year. Such inspiring generosity should encourage us to reach our quota of $55,000, even though it is higher than our normal pattern. Let's give Class Agent Sam Wormser the support he deserves.

Frell Owl was named "Citizen of the Year" by the American Legion Post of his native town of Cherokee, N.C., in March. He was chosen for "his unending and complete devotion to God and country and further for his total compassion for mankind". Frell spent 33 years with the Bureau of Indian Affairs, having been superintendent of the Crow Creek and Lower Brule Sioux reservations in South Dakota, Red Lake Chippewa in Minnesota, Nez Perce and Fort Hall in Idaho. During his career he received many citations, including the Department of Interior Honor Award. In 1969 Dartmouth awarded him an honorary degree of Doctor of Humane Letters.
