1929

Bill Andres, chairman of the board of trustees, also serves the College in an important role as president of the Dartmouth Educational Association, organized many years ago to assist students with loans.

The French motion picture industry recently presented its "Cesar" award for the best film of the year to Joe Losey for his Mr. Klein, the story of a man sent to a concentration camp through mistaken identity.

My old roommate was honored by a special "Harry Baehr Night" on February 25 at New York's Overseas Press Club. The announcement said: "His first article in the New York HeraldTribune appeared on January 24, 1937. His first editorial, 'Blood is Thicker Than Water,' was published August 29, 1937. He is still writing as senior editorial writer for the International Herald Tribune. That adds up to 40 years of continuous writing under the Trib logo!"

Bob Sparks mailed me an obituary of CyWorth, who died on February 22, and in addition commented: "Cy was one of the first fellows that I met while in line for matriculation, and we became the best of friends. MikeSherman and I lived together our freshman year (we both came from Peddie), and then our sophomore year the three of us roomed together. When I worked in New York with Goodyear, we lived together at the Dartmouth Club, and then five of us rented an apartment. In his early years Cy worked for Plymouth Cordage, along with Brad Bradley and Hooker Horton '27. Unfortunately I hadn't seen him since 1935, but we had corresponded and had occasional phone calls. A real friend and wonderful person."

And from Jack Meany: "Just heard from BillMorgan that he will be moving here soon. Now we will have a 1929 group of three - Bill along with Bob Jones and myself. In addition ClarkDenney of 1930 has retired here."

Charlie Dudley writes from Lebanon: "We took a Thanksgiving trip to Wisconsin on the spur of the moment - plunged through snowstorms on the way out and detoured the N.Y. Throughway on the return. In Mequon, Wis., a mutual friend had Jim Kelley for a Monday dinner and Thanksgiving dinner so we saw a lot of Jim. He had an operation and walks with a cane but is still his delightful self."

Some news from Bob Lyle (in a letter to DukeBarto): "I appreciated your thoughtfulness in sending me the Harvard and Princeton programs. Much has changed in football - the style of the game and the agility of the players and the price of admission, to name a few. One of the advantages of television is the ability to get close-up views and re-runs.

"Our son Rob was married here in Dallas last Saturday, so this week we are recovering. Jan is from Mississippi, a Duke graduate, who is taking RN training at the University of Texas. Rob finishes his law training in May and recently accepted a clerkship with a Federal judge here. Cathy, our daughter, was married in 1973 and has a two-year-old boy. She and her husband live in Tyler, about 100 miles east. So while the chickens have flown they are still relatively close to home."

And the word from Jack Blair: "I am still practising law, running a branch office here in Tryon, N.C., for a firm in Asheville. I am doing this at a much more leisurely pace than in the past, but it keeps me as active as I want to be.

"We live in a delightful community in a house looking up into the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains. We have many new and nice friends, but we miss all our friends in Connecticut and north. There are surprising numbers of '29ers in North Carolina, and I have toyed with the idea of trying to have a luncheon in some central location. The problem is lethargy, but I may still get around to it and have something of interest to report to our media.

"The great news is that Fred and Jane Ingram are moving to Tryon. They just bought a beautiful home on the mountain. It will be very nice to have them so close to us."

Jack, the luncheon idea sounds great - interested classmates can reach Jack at Box 1266, Tryon, N.C. 28782.
