1913

Milt Aronowitz was in Hanover for the Holy Cross, Penn, and Cornell games last fall. He expected to spend the Christmas holidays with his sister in Safety Harbor, Fla. (near Tampa).

Several men who entered Dartmouth with the Class of 1913 graduated with the Class of 1914. Our classmate Jay Runkle turned it around; he entered with the Class of 1914 and graduated in 1913. Jay tells this story about Moose Englehorn;

"I attended an organization meeting of the Freshman Class when Moose was proposed for class president. I knew that he was not there but I knew where he was, so I hightailed it across campus to get him to the meeting, as I thought it would improve his chances of being elected if he were present. He was, as you know."

Fred Page reports that the Conants left for Florida on December 13, again going part way by auto-train. They have wintered at Ormond Beach for many years - doubtless a fine place to enjoy Florida sunshine, golf, and relaxation at this time of year.

It is with sadness that we report the deaths of two 1913 widows - Lois Towler (Mrs. T.W.) of Summit, N.J. and Marion Schulte (Mrs. Raymond M.) of Spokane, Wash.

A personal letter from Arlene Warren (Mrs. Howard P.) seems to indicate that, in spite of needing to use a wheelchair lately, she is happy in her new home in Columbia, Md.

Another story from Jake Bingham, 1918 newsletter editor - this one about our former Secretary, the late Marc Wright:

Marc Wright from whom I had a Christmas card last year told this story to Chet Hulbert, 1918 co-president and he retold it to me at the Class Officers' weekend. The U.S. Olympic track team was embarking from New York and their ship was about ready to pull out when it was discovered that Marc's pole was not aboard. Harry Hillman who was on the dock to see the team off was dispatched to obtain it at the hotel where the team had stayed. Harry was back with the favorite pole as the ship was starting out on its way. He gave the pole a mighty heave and it landed on the deck but unfortunately shattered - useless. With it went the glory of an Olympic gold medal. Marc brought home a silver one.
