1946

Would you believe. Bob and Jackie Kimball have become grandparents; their daughter Holly produced a boy March 24 in Tucson, Ariz. At last report. Grandma Jackie was out there, taking a refresher course in baby sitting; Grandpa Bob's duties kept him in Hanover, where he is shopping for ear trumpets, crutches, and Geritol.

Although Class Officers' Weekend (May 11) may have come and gone by the time this reaches print, it should be noted that Reg andNancy Pierce planned a gala dinner at Pierce s Country Inn on that date highlighted by their very special entree of boned chicken and artichoke casserole. Any of you who visit the Hanover area at any time should plan on at least one evening at that sumptuous table; the crowd is usually such that reservations are advisable. Telephone 603-643-2997.

We are indebted to Reg for the recent information mation that Jack (The Growler) Whitman is back at the Dreyfus Fund as regional vice president. As usual. Growler refrains from letting such mundane duties interfere with his many efforts in class activities, including planning for the GTHES (Greatest Thirtieth Hanover's Ever Seen) in June, 1975.

Al and Peg Lilly report that the first '46 visitor at Darling Kelly's Motel and Gift Shop (one mile south of Bennington, Vt.) was GeorgeCarr, who spent a restful evening there on March 4. Al reports regret that George had to depart before the proprietor arose the next morning, but that it was delightful to say hello to a classmate. He also recognizes the trend of admissions at the College by the following postscript: "Sat in on a committee of three for interviews for potential Dartmouth freshmen two or three nights ago. A most pleasant experience! Two really great girls, but where are the guys?" Don't worry, AT; Jake Crouthamel sports that he has been interviewing a few.

Our peerless Treasurer Don Furber is the source of much of the information contained in this column, by virtue of the notes that each of you writes on the back of your dues slip, at the time of that annual contribution to the Class and the College. If, by chance, any of you have not sent in your annual payment, please (a) do so to Furb at once, and (b) on the back, include some news about yourself, your family and any classmates you may have encountered.

The latest report from the DCAC shows that the sophomores (Class of 1976) displayed termendous ability during the winter sports season. They sparked the hockey team to the ECAC Payoffs, the swimming team to a 9 and 2 record in dual meets, the squash team to a 9 and 3 record, including the first-ever victory over Yale, the track team to a 8 and 1 status, and the gymnasts to second place in the Ivy League. Add to that the fact that the women's basketball team won 6 and lost 1, and that the women's ski team was almost as successful as the Eastern championship men's ski team, and you have to figure that we must be doing something right.

This week's mail brought a beautiful new flyer extolling the virtues of the highly creative advertising firm of Wilson, Ryan and Leigh, of West-port, Conn. The latter name, of course, is our own Doug Leigh, artist extraordinaire, and designer of the class mascot, Frankly the Dinosaur. Doug's success clearly answers the question posed in the soap opera built around his life: "Can this mustachioed little boy, from South Orange, New Jersey, find happiness and success after turning his back on Madison Avenue, amidst the cheaper martinis of Fairfield County?"

For those of you who may have missed the report from* President Kemeny, the winter brought a new game to the college campus: competition in cutting back use of electricity in the dorms resulted in weekly "box scores" in the Dartmouth with weekly prizes for the dorms. In one week, 13 dorms showed 30 percent savings compared to last year, and the winner was down by 51 percent.

We couldn't have done that during the cold winter of '42, but then, we didn't have the girls to help out.

'46 Up!
