1918

When your secretary was class agent, he was fortunate to get Lois Morse (Em's widow) to join the class agent's team with the class widows assignment. A service rendered with the same quiet thoroughness that this year caused her to be one of eight to receive the annual Phillips Academy Fuess award which went to individual alumnae of the academy for their public service outside of the limelight and away from the public eye.

The citation in part reads: "Lois Dunn Morse eight years after graduating from Wellesley received a master's degree in nursing from Yale. She became a visiting nurse and research assistant in public health in New York City. Then she became an instructor in nursing at Cornell and Reading, Pa., and administrator of nursing at Massachusetts General Hospital.

"For eleven years, Lois was administrator of Dartmouth College health service. She was instrumental in setting up the practical nursing and laboratory program of the New Hampshire Vocational Technical College. She continues volunteer services at Mary Hitchcock Hospital."

Doc McBride, writing from his home in Annapolis this July, had the torrid humidity keeping him housebound and wishing he never left New Mexico.

Paul Erwin physically has to confine his travels within his Bryn Mawr, Pa., area. But he is fortunate, for he has three of his four sons and their families around him to keep him young in spirit.

In September, Ed and Clara Felt enjoyed an expedition on the Erie Canal, Clara having recovered from the illness that kept her from our 60th reunion.

Ed also reported that a letter from GeorgeStoddard advised his hand was still heavily bandaged but functional.

One of the sidelights of reunion was the crash party in Homer and Betty Bennett's room at The Inn, to watch on television the GeneMarkeys' horse make an exciting run for the money in the Belmont.

Mrs. John Converse and your scribe had a post-reunion session when she, with a friend, visited at Kendal at Longwood recently.

I trust Zeke Ball has fully recovered from the bone break in his foot and that Georgeand Helen Daniels have no more plane cancellations. That is why the three were not able to help Dick White meet his objective of 90 registered for reunion.

Four most loyal classmates and supporters of the College have gone to that world for which this is only a preparation: Irve Rand, JasperJohnston, Don Bliss, and John Donohue. On behalf of the Class, your secretary has expressed sympathy to their families and submitted obituaries to the ALUMNI MAGAZINE.

The pleasure of once more serving as secretary is to hear from classmates. You are the ones who make this column worthwhile.

Finally, don't forget the many ways in which you can express your love for our college in the Campaign for Dartmouth.
