1914

Very few of our classmates had the good grace to be born in the lovely month of June, but, according to our official astrologer, the following men, whose birthdays are celebrated during this month, were born under the sign of Gemini, the Twins: Fairfield and Morse. To each of them is accorded long life and other benefits of this good fortune, together with the felicitations of all the members of the famous Class of 1914.

From his snowbound hide-a-way in New London, N.H., Elmer Robinson bursts forth in "rime":

Winter Again

The blast roared down the mountain And all through the day and night Piled waist-high in our driveway A nuisance - deep and white.

The minstrel strums upon his lyre, The youngsters whoop by on their skiis. At home I cower by the fire And shiver as I cough and sneeze.

I long for a home where these blasts never roam;

Let me throw my snow-shovel away And join that smart crowd where snow's

not allowed - Say, down on some Florida bay.

James M. Wulpi writes to us from his home in Fort Wayne, Ind. "Many thanks for your letter on my birthday. I am, indeed, enjoying good health and doing whatever I want to do every day. Now that our golf season is coming to a close, I am laying plans to go places, and so again to avoid the severe winter which, probably, we are going to have here in Indiana. Early in October I am going to Albuquerque, N.M., to watch the annual balloon races and to golf with friends. From there to Wickenburg, Ariz., to our annual company get-together at a fine dude ranch for golf and reminiscing with the boys who flew the airlines in the early days. From there I'll jump over to Spain and look around for a place along the mild Mediterranean shore where a few of us can go after Christmas for a few weeks of golf.

"The Costa del Sol of Spain is full of resorts for all sports activities, and the cost is away below what it would be at home. I have been spending winters there for a number of years, and yet I can't speak much Spanish. So you can see that I don't sit around in a rocking chair in fact, I don't have one. I guess that the answer for my good health is the fact that I take Geritol - a spoonful - once a year!"

Marjorie Harvey Bennett writes to us on behalf of her father, Maurice Harvey, as follows: "He was very much pleased to receive your congratulatory note and wished me to write to you. Unfortunately this past year has been a very bad one for him physically. He suffered a heart attack in November 1976, and his recovery has been very slow. Due to progressive glaucoma, he is nearly blind. However, he is able to be up most of the day and to receive calls from his friends. He is now in a nursing home in White River Junction. Until this year he had been remarkably well and looked like a man many years his junior. Thank you again for your kind remembrance.

Since our last report we have learned of the passing of two of our loyal classmates, Rev. Frederick C. Fraser, on December 23, 1977, and Howard Ellis Bowman in December 1977. Obituaries will appear in this or another ALUMNI MAGAZINE. The sympathy of the members of the Class of 1914 is extended to their survivors.

Please add the following post-script to my notes for the June issue of the ALUMNIMAGAZINE.

As we go to press the information has just reached us that the Class of 1914 has lost another of its gracious ladies.

Kathleen M. Remsen, widow of MartinRemsen, passed on at her home on Willow Springs Circle in Hanover, N.H., on April 15, 1978, after a long illness.

It will be remembered that Mart and his wife entertained our Class very generously on numerous occasions when its members had gathered together and that they were also major benefactors of Dartmouth College and of the Mary Hitchcock Memorial Hospital.

The members of our Class extend our sympathy to her survivors.
