As of the publication date of these notes, this year's fall mini-reunion at Quechee Lakes, Vt., will have proven to be a successful and joyous occasion, the 45th class reunion will be only six to seven months ahead, and the football season which opened with a very encouraging win of 31-21 over Penn will, it is hoped, have been completed with another Ivy League championship.
The '33 fall reunion at Quechee Lakes on the weekend of September 22-24 turned out to be most pleasant in every way and a great first step for the 45th reunion next June 11-13. As reported earlier by Bob Fox in his newsletter, the attendance of more than 80 exceeded all expectations, and the enthusiasm of everyone attending the planned activities was obvious and heartening. There were at least 39 classmates, two widows, and 39 wives and guests who were known to have enjoyed the Quechee dinners or were in attendance at the football game and the tailgate cookout before the game. This was a memorable gathering which I wish you all might have attended. Try to make the 45th reunion in June 1979, which promises to be equally attractive and satisfying.
The letter from the Reunion Committee dated October 3 has given you the highlights of '33's festive 45th, including the arrangements and the College and Class activities. A more detailed schedule of these activities will be furnished by the reunion committee and by John Rockwell, who is chairing the committee. Remember, there is fun for everyone for three days and nights, and this is definitely plannedas a family affair. Plan now to attend, and confirm your intention not later than November 1 by mailing the card enclosed with the letter of October 3.
This year's Dartmouth Medical School Annual Lecture, sponsored by the Department of Biochemistry, was the first given by an alumnus. Paul Zamecnik, a '33er and a member of the Class of 1934 at the Medical School, delivered the 19th annual lecture. Paul has been the Collis P. Huntington Professor of Oncologic Medicine and director of the Johns Collins Warren Laboratories of the Huntington Memorial Hospital of Harvard University since 1956, and he is currently a fellow of the Fogarty International Center at the National Cancer Institute in Bethesda, Md.
It is hoped that by now you have mailed your class dues of $10 to Sam Cunningham, class treasurer. This is for the year 1978-79 and includes your subscription to the ALUMNI MAGAZINE. Don't delay further if, by chance, you are among the tardy minority. It's a good cause!
Our sympathy goes to the family of Dick Downes of Auburn, Mass., who died on September 9. An obituary will appear in this or a later issue.
