1925
Charley Moore reports that final arrangements have been completed for the Class covering the October 12, 1974 Dartmouth-princeton weekend in Hanover.
In accordance with the decision reached at the 1925 class business meeting held during the football weekend last fall there will be one big cocktail and dinner meeting for the class members, wives, widows, faculty members, and invited undergraduates. This get-together will be held at the Norwich Inn following the conclusion of the Princeton game. Cocktails will be available in the upstairs lounge of the Inn beginning shortly after six o'clock on Saturday. A dinner will be served in the Inn's "Rumpus Room" at eight p.m. This facility is equipped with a piano and will be available to us for the balance of the evening for music (bring your sax, George Z. - and your clarinet, Lang S.) and singing, the showing of a selection of 1925 slides and movies from 1925 gatherings of the past, plus a great deal of general good fellowship.
Saturday morning before the game there will be a short business meeting of the Class in Room 102, Reed Hall.
All who can make it are urged to come. The fall colors of the lovely North Country should be spectacular. The weather is positively guaranteed to be fine and fair. The game promises to be as great as always when Dartmouth and Princeton elevens have faced each other before. And the Norwich Inn affair will serve as a warm-up for our "Fabulous Fiftieth" now just about a year away. (If you have not already made reservations for the October 1974 weekend, thanks to the efforts of Ford Whelden, a few double rooms are still available - but should be taken up shortly. Communicate with Ford - Elm Street, Norwich, Vt. 05055 and enclose a check for $44.00 to cover the cost of a room for two for two nights.)
And, having touched on the subject of the 1925 Fiftieth Reunion in Hanover in June of 1975, it should now be reported that preliminary plans for that very large and important event are complete. (And that it is now, at this moment, not too early to be making firm plans to be among those present!)
The dates are June 6th, 7th, and 8th of 1975. (It is suggested that you tear the June page out of your 1975 calendar right now, circle those three days in heavy green ink, and scotch tape the reminder to your shaving mirror - if you are still shaving, that is.)
Here's the present set-up, with complete details to follow from time to time during the year:
Massachusetts, Hitchcock and Gile have been reserved to provide living accommodation for '25ers, wives, widows and families throughout the reunion weekend.
A class first evening dinner get-together will be held in the new wing of Thayer Hall on Friday evening, June 6.
The class meeting will be held at 9:30 a.m. Saturday, June 7, Room 28 Silsby Hall.
1925's Memorial Service will take place at 10:30 a.m. Saturday, June 7 at Rollins Chapel. Immediately following, the Fiftieth Anniversary class picture will be taken on the steps of Webster.
Alumni Hall. Hopkins Center, will be the scene of the class dinner with various College luminaries and guests in attendance - and a program that all will long remember.
On Sunday, June 8 - following Commencement exercises - 1925 reunioners will partake of the traditional "get-away" luncheon, to be served at the D.O.C. house on Occum Pond, a most appropriate setting for still another temporary parting from Hanover.
Complete details of each of the above events will be communicated to all members of the Class and to all class widows as plans are finalized. But don't wait for details before blocking off those three June dates on your 1975 calendar! If that favorite granddaughter of yours is planning a wedding date that would conflict, talk her out of it - or, better still, make it a Hanover wedding. And it will be worked into the 1925 Fiftieth Anniversary schedule somehow or other!
(Question: Is anyone in 1925 really making firm plans right now to attend the 50th? Answer: "Well, one member at least is. He has already applied for reservations covering his wife and himself, four married children and their spouses and ten grandchildren.")
Henry Crawford is a professional in orthopedics in Rochester, N.Y., and a top-notch artist as a painter. But according to a Kodak ad for color film that has recently appeared in many leading national magazines Henry depends on his wife to pick the paints since he is color blind. The ad features two portrayals of the same beautiful mountain and lake scene, one done by Henry alone and other with the help of Elizabeth.

Our notes last month carried the information that Professor W. Lawrence Gulick who currently holds the Class of 1925 Professorship had resigned from the Dartmouth faculty to be Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Delaware. We are happy to report now that he has reversed his decision and will stay on in Hanover and will continue as the Class of 1925 Professor.
Gooby until October.
