1933

Having been limited in the new September issue of the Magazine to an announcement regarding our informal reunion on October 11, 1975, this is the start of the October-June monthly series of Class Notes.

We are anticipating an unusually strong turnout for the informal reunion at the Hotel Coolidge, after the Penn game. Coverage for those of you who were unable to attend is planned for the December issue, which is the earliest possible due to publication schedules, but Bob Fox undoubtedly will be able to report in some detail in an earlier Newsletter.

The final results of the 61st annual Alumni Fund campaign, as reported in the September issue, is a great tribute to all who served as agents and to all who participated so generously, particularly-the 12 reunion classes who were responsible for 42% of the Fund total. As a Class we maintained approximately 70 per cent participation, but the total receipts were disappointing in that we were $5,000 or 10 per cent below last year's receipts, representing only 83.7 per cent of our objective. It appears, thanks to Chet Thomson and his team, that we were ahead in both dollars and contributors through the middle of June, but during the period from mid-June to mid-July we failed to measure up to expectations.

Having reported in the June, 1975 issue that Jus Stanley had been nominated as president-elect of the American Bar Association, it will come as no surprise that Jus was elected as president-elect at the annual meeting of the Association held in Montreal in August. He will become president in August, 1976 for a one-year term.

Of special significance is the simultaneous retirement of two of our distinguished doctors, Dumps MacCarty and Jack Wright from the staff of the Mary Hitchcock Hospital and Hitchcock Clinic here in Hanover as of July 1, 1975. Dumps received his medical degree from Johns Hopkins Medical School in 1937 and interned at Robert Packer Hospital, Sayre, Pa. He was a fellow in radiology at the Mayo Foundation, Rochester, Minn., from 1938-1942. He was appointed to the staff of the Mary Hitchcock Hospital and Hitchcock Clinic in 1942, at which time he was also appointed instructor in radiology at Dartmouth Medical School He served as chairman of the Hitchcock Radiology Department for 15 years and was a board member of the Hitchcock Clinic for six years. Upon retirement he was associate professor of clinical medicine (radiology) at the Medical School. Dumps plans to serve as radiologist at Sceva Speare Hospital, Plymouth, N.H., twice a week during his retirement, as well as raising and training dogs, hunting, fishing, skiing, occasional trips and more photography - (with Harriet's support and companionship).

Jack, after receiving his medical degree from Harvard Medical School in 1936, interned at Cincinnati General Hospital and had a fellowship in diabetes at the University of Cincinnati from 1936-1937. Following two years of private practice .and military service in the U.S. Army from 1942-1945, Jack was appointed to the staff of the Mary Hitchcock Hospital and Hitchcock Clinic in 1946, as well as instructor in internal medicine at the Dartmouth Medical School and attending physician at the Veterans Administration, White River Junction, Vt. He served 29 years in the Department of Internal Medicine, with a sub-specialty in diabetes, and upon retirement was associate professor of clinical medicine at the Medical School. Jack plans to serve as acting chief of rehabilitation at the Veterans Administration, White River Junction, Vt. on a part-time basis, and he and Madge will continue to enjoy their busy lives in Hanover and hope to continue their extensive travels.

Three additional changes of address for classmates are: Ralph S. Bush, 1553 Murcia Ave., Coral Gables, Fla. 33134; Henry A.Hawgood, 37857 Lakeshore Blvd., Eastlake, Ohio 44094; and Dr. Eugene Kaplan, 625 The Parkway, Mamaroneck, N.Y. 10543.

Charlie Clark of Tulsa, Okla. was quoted in the Forum section of Time of August 4, 1975 in defense of capitalism - "Without profits there is no freedom." Congratulations!

Thanks to Flint Ranney '56 and secretary of the Dartmouth Club of Southern California, we have learned that Bob Cox spoke at the June monthly meeting of the Club in Los Angeles. His topic was "Three Years With the Arabs," based upon his three years with the Peace Corps in Tunisia.

I had the pleasure of playing golf in late August with Mel Katz at the Quechee Club in Quechee, Vt., where Mel and Ruth are members and Ruth is womens' club champion. While there we saw Rip Ripley who was playing with seven of his friends from the Keene, N.H., Country Club as guests of Bill Dewey. Another very pleasant golf game in mid-August was with Jud Pierson and his son Jay '62 at the Hanover Country Club.

As reported by Bob Fox in the necrology of his newsletters of May and August, 1975 we have received the sad news of the death of two classmates in 1974, as well as five others since May, 1975. Their obituaries are in this issue. We also were sorry to learn of the death of WhitKimball's wife Ginny on July 23, 1975.
