1918

Congratulations are due to George Von Kapff and his agents for leading the class to another record and substantially exceeding our quota.

Letters from President Chet Hulbert expressed appreciation for the class birthday card. He keeps busy by volunteering for several local Rye enterprises. He mentioned a visit from Ralph Walkingstick, arranged by Ralph's daughter, wife of the Presbyterian minister.-in Harrison. Chet also had a most enjoyable and interesting time at Alumni College, where he was joined by Lois Morse and George VonKapff. While in Hanover, he also visited with the Stoddards and class treasurer Dave Eckels '44.

Bille Bemis (Mrs. William H.) was the only one to act on the suggestion to use the last page of the August "Roar" to send in news. At the end of August, she was off on a cruise, with 46 Clevelanders, to Russia and the Scandinavian countries. She expected a Dartmouth group to join them.

Doc and Mary McBride acknowledged class birthday greetings by sending the secretary a like one.

A letter from Peg Sargent brought the news that Dorothy Mahoney plans to leave Scarsdale to enter a retirement home in Maryland, to be near one of her grandchildren in Washington. Peg, we hope you are getting the "Roar" as published. With decreasing numbers of classmates, in order to maintain a monthly schedule, classmates and widows must deluge the secretary with items of interest. If every single one of you did that, it would be perfectly marvelous.

Howie Park, on receiving the class birthday card, expressed the same to the secretary. His letter was on paper from the last 1918 Pow- Wow in Fort Lauderdale. The surprise was his report on weather that has been drier than usual, with a drought predicted for next winter. That must account for the hot, humid weather all along the northeastern coast, from Washington far into even northern New England. We of the North have had a Florida summer, plus more rain than usual.

Dick and Marion White attended the 104th annual convention of the American Association of Nurserymen. It was a grand reunion for them, since over 2500 people attended.

From the College News Service, we have learned that Hanover's Main Street is the only large center through which the Appalachian Trail passes. It is a welcome stop for hikers to enjoy a good meal at Thayer and entertainment at the Hopkins Center, to replenish supplies and repair equipment, and to refresh themselves with a shower. We always knew that the Dartmouth Outing Club maintains about 75 miles of the trail in the mountains north of Hanover. Some hikers defer the finish to relax and enjoy side trips around Hanover. This is further evidence of the importance of places which John Dickey '29 stressed. We of Dartmouth are most fortunate.

We regret to report the passing of John H.Rosnell, Francis T. Christy, and Roy C.Cleveland. Words of sympathy have been sent to the families, and obituaries will appear in this or other issues.
