Our class boasts 53 members in the Dartmouth Educational Association, a non-profit corporation which makes loans to students approved by the Office of Financial Aid at the college. Three are life members: Norman F.Page, E. Winston Rodormer and Bradford W.Stone. A memorial endowment was made in the name of John H. Greener. Memorial gifts have been made for Frederick E. Carver, Van WieIngham and Robert N. Stevens.

The association was organized in 1896 by Charles W. Bartlett and others, and Charles W. Bartlett '27 is now one of the trustees. F. William Andres, '29 is president. Loans bear no interest while the student is an undergraduate at Dartmouth, but 7% per year beginning from the first of the month following the student leaving college. Any interested person may become a member and dues are ten dollars a year.

Paul Hannah continues his activity in the American Bar Association, having been made chairman-elect of the Public Contract Law Section. During the past year the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court made him a trustee of the Client's Security Fund of the Unified Massachusetts Bar, and George Washington University Law School presented him an Alumni Achievement Award.

Herb Howe reports that he is about to retire from his services with the State of New York; that he was recently widowed, is enjoying fair health, and hopes to move from Ossining, N.Y., to Florida.

Paul Staab is still at the Abbey of LeMars in lowa. Says Mike Ketz is about the only classmate with whom he has been in contact in recent years. Paul is still not reconciled to coeducation at Dartmouth.

A semi-retired lawyer who is playing a lot of golf is Ken Herwig who graduated from Tulsa University with an LL.B. degree and has been practicing law in Oklahoma since 1940. It's a long time since we have heard from him and it's good to know he is still in the Dartmouth family.

Elmer Worth had a close call in January, but Johns Hopkins Hospital pulled him through and he is recovering at his home in Forest Hill, Maryland, according to Lyman Milliken.

The Millikens spent Christmas with their son in Oklahoma City and New Years with their daughter in Colorado Springs. They saw the new year come in watching midnight fire works from Pikes Peak.

Al Pulsifer in Johnston, N.Y., is trying to give up court trials and limit his work to office practice only. He still is enjoying every minute of the legal profession.

Madeline and Phil Fowler invited Marion andArt Keleher to play golf at their course at Carrollwood Village, Fla., writes Art. The scores were secret but the fun great. A return match has been scheduled at the keleher's Dunedin Country Club. Art says Phil and Madeline look fine.

John Tanzi can still be found in Hanover during the winter, but finds his cottage in Kennebunk Beach, Me., with its garden and flowers, and striped bass fishing better for recuperating from his massive heart attack which he suffered in 1972. John says, "They called me dead, but I fooled somebody!"

We are happy to report Horace EdwardBaker is back at work at his law office in Westfield, New Jersey after his Christmas ordeal with the hold up men.

We regret to report the deaths of Rollin A.Furbush, October 11 and Hiram WassonMcKee, December 21.
