1933

Dartmouth Night has come and gone again to the delight of all who massed on the college green and along the marching route of the many returning classes. And a successful and joyous mini-reunion at Quechee Lakes, Vt., on the weekend of September 22-24 is still a happy memory to the more than 80 classmates, wives, and guests who attended.

The New Year is a strong reminder that 1979 will be our 45th reunion year, and now is none too soon to complete your plans for attending the reunion, scheduled for June 11-13 in Hanover, with the Classes of 1934 and 1935. A summary of the activities as planned by the reunion committee, under the direction of JohnRockwell, follows. On Monday, June 11, there will be registration and associated school lunches. Later we will have cocktails in the class tent, followed by the alumni dinner and the Kemeny garden reception. Then the Glee Club concert and dancing in the tent with the Classes of 1934 and 1935. On Tuesday morning a memorial service will be held, as will a class meeting and an address by President Kemeny, followed by cocktails and lunch in the tent. In the evening there will be cocktails in the tent and the class dinner at the Hanover Inn, followed by dancing in the tent. On Wednesday, breakfast will again be served in Thayer Hall and joint activities are planned with the Classes of 1934 and 1935 during the morning. Cocktails and lunch will be provided in the tent. At dinner there will be an optional cash bar and cookout at the Quechee Club, followed by the usual dancing in the tent.

Doesn't the above summary make you glad you are planning to attend! There will certainly be over 100 classmates returning for the 45th and a total 1933 attendance of over 200, including wives, widows, children, and guests.

Thanks to Cap Palmer '23 of Parthenon Pictures, Los Angeles, Calif., we have special news of Bob Guggenheim and his wife, who enjoyed the usual lavish opening-day luncheon in the directors' room of the Oak Tree Racing Association, celebrating a 24-day meet at the Santa Anita track. Bob really hit it lucky. While placing a bet for his wife, Bob placed a few bets of his own and came up with winnings in three figures. How about that!

It may interest you to know that according to an analysis of the Class of 1933 dated October 13, 1978, there are 458 class members and 72 class widows. The members include 340 graduates and 118 non-graduates.

With sorrow, we have to add two more to those who have passed away: James (Pete)Doehler of East Orange, N.J., died April 16, and Bob Winger of Aurora, Ohio, died October 19. Obituaries will appear in this or a later issue. The Class extends its sympathy to their families.

Because of the restriction to approximately 800 words for the notes of classes from 1926 to 1950, I am unable to do more than three things in the remaining space: Thank Shelby Grantham for her helpful assistance during 1978 as class notes editor for '02 through '4O, (2) report that the Campaign for Dartmouth is well on track during its second year toward its $160 million goal, but still the College must increase its receipts from all sources (including the Alumni Fund) during the next four years by 100 per cent, and (3) wish each of you and your families a merry Christmas and a healthy and happy 1979 from Jean and me.
