1921

Guy Wallick's wife Kenneth sustained a broken hip recently and was hospitalized for awhile. The Wallicks' daughter Betsy Damon gave us this news.

Donald Smith was laid up in early summer by an operation on his left lung. He was given cobalt treatment and was pretty much confined to a wheelchair. He manages to still drive a car by manual control. He and wife Price celebrated their fifty-third wedding anniversary in the early fall.

Likewise Tom Norcross and wife Rakey observed their golden wedding anniversary in September. Congrats are in order!

Harry Mosser and wife Caroline were in Brazil and Argentina for an extended trip, but returned just in time to celebrate Christmas in the Tarheel State.

William Kearns Jr. and wife are the grandparents of their daughter's 12th child. Bill remembers living on the first floor of Crosby Hall, and hiring the dorm janitor to wake him up in time for chapel.

Joe Folger provides some interesting reminiscences going back to our undergraduate years. He recalls the S.A.T.S. company commanded by Lt. Keith Funston. Years later he went up to Choate School in Wallingford, Conn., where his son Allen was graduating. He found himself, much to his surprise, in the academic procession near the graduates or representatives of early American colleges. He was paired with Keith Funston who had been President of Trinity College. He made no mention of having been in Hanover, but said that he did know John Dickey. Soon after the Wallingford episode Joe read that Keith Funston was the head of the New York Stock Exchange. Joe is now curious to know if Keith was related to General Funston who was involved in the Mexican border trouble in 1846.

Also Joe and Marion celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary on October 3. A dinner was held at which 23 close friends and relatives were in attendance. On the following Saturday the Folgers had open house at their house at Surfside.

George Harris sticks pretty close to his home in Farmington (Conn.) Woods. It is a lovely place to live and he and Madeline have many cherished friends there. They are not going to San Diego this winter for a number of reasons, among them the cost of transportation and the seeming willingness of these so-called revolutionaries to murder whole plane loads of people in order to secure the release of a few of their fellow conspirators so that they might commit more murders. He wonders if we will ever get back corporal punishment. He further states that if any of us have much right to be proud of the world which we will be leaving for our grandchildren to live in.

The sixth annual Post-50th Reunion is scheduled for June 9-12, 1975 (Monday through Thursday). The Tuck Mall dormitory will be available as well as the Hanover Inn and Motor Lodge. It will not interfere with the Spaulding Inn program at Whitefield, N.H.

Herrick Brown tells us that grandson Chris Brown, son of Ken Brown '47 was married to Kimberley Peach of Wellesley Hills on June 8. Chris returned to the University of Massachusetts last summer after spending a year working for an engineering firm in Boston.

The birthday cards sent to classmates in 1975 will be "repeats" of the past three years. Their sentiments are still valid, and we are relieved of the heavy printing costs. We will have new ones for 1976.
