1911

We are sorry to report the passing of John Scotford on September 9, about three months after his attendance at our 65th reunion. See the obituary section in this issue. Our deepest sysmpathy is extended to his widow and the members of his family.

A further change of address has been reported for Mrs. Clyde E. Locke to 411 Maitland Ave., Altamonta Springs, Fla.

After a somewhat hesitant beginning it now appears that the Samson Occom Scholarship under the 1911 permanent fund is being utilized on a continuing basis. The first recipient, Randy . Williams '76, received an award for part of 1975 and for the entire year 1975-76. In his senior year he attained grades of A and B in all his subjects. He is now working for the Alaskan State Indian Education Department in Juneau.

For the year 1976-77 a full award ($2500) has been granted to Robert N. (Nick) Huskey '79, a Cherokee from North Carolina and a graduate of the Ashville School there. He is active in the Native American Program and has been a member of the Native American intramural football, volleyball, and basketball teams. After one year he has a scholastic average of C. Following graduation from Dartmouth, he will seek a degree in engineering before returning to the Cherokee reservation in North Carolina. (Our thanks to Ken Clark for this information. Ken is the sole negotiator for 1911 in the administration of the fund.)

Wee Kimball recently received a long and interesting letter from Andrew Breen '78, grandson of the late Rolf C. (Spim) Norris. He writes intelligently and explicitly of his experience at Dartmouth to date. He tells of a term of language study abroad spent in France and of a summer term in Hanover, which, contrary to expectation, he enjoyed immensely. After playing freshman basketball, he passed up aspiring to the varsity level and took up intramural athletics, which he finds most satisfying. Although a product of modern Dartmouth, young Breen reveres and respects the traditions and standards of his grandfather's day. He commends us oldsters for striving to hold the line. Wee's reply cited phases and events from his own undergraduate days to show that the problems encountered in college are relative and comparable regardless of era.

Finally, some quotes from responses to Wee Kimball's memos:

Hopper Allison: We had a very pleasant two months in Alstead but did little hopping around New Hampshire. I stopped driving two years ago but still see a few old patients.

'"Troy Parker: I went back to Black Hills for a few weeks with my daughter this summer. But it was awful lonesome living in my little house by myself. Every article within sight carries some happy memory.
