1925

Alden R. (Hap) Hefler, teacher, sailor, and author, continues his writing with occasional letters to the editor of the Annapolis paper. Samples: "At my 75th birthday, please give me advice on how to avoid penalties on our modern misdemeanor crimes such as mass murder, rape, and overtime parking." Then, "After mailing my letter asking about the avoidance of penalties for all crimes nowadays, I found, on television, the answer - make full immediate confession to the police, which confession is not admissible in the courts! Exonerately yours, ARF."

A grandson of the late Bob Smith of Pittsburgh is a member of the freshman class. His name is Beverley R. Shriver III and he has been playing JV hockey this past winter.

Stan and Bertha Litchfield have moved from Bonita, Calif., to Chula Vista, two miles away.

Ford Whelden had a serious operation in February and at the time of this report is recuperating at his home in Norwich and making good progress. He wasn't going to miss the last two home hockey games and got to them with the aid of a wheel chair. Walking and swimming in the pool at the gym are helpful activities.

Surely all classmates want to extend their sympathy to Barrett Lyons, whose wife Janet died in February in East Lansing, Mich., after an illness of some six years. She was a graduate of Hillsdale College and had been active in social, hospital, and church work in Michigan all of her adult life until her health failed. Barrett's current address is 6120 Farrington, Apt. #6, East Lansing, Mich., 48823.

Ruth and John Hamilton are enjoying their tenth winter of life in their attractive home in Tequesta, Fla. In the summer they get a change by staying for a few months in their retreat in the North Carolina hills.

From his Ives Manor ivory tower in Danbury, Conn., Harry White has conjured up some memories of undergraduate days. Most of us shared them and likely have forgotten them. Here is one:

"Phys-ed class in 1922-23 was a physical education lecture by Professsor John Bowler at one p.m. twice weekly in Dartmouth Hall. One day while he was delivering a sex lecture, a student fell asleep. Thinking the man had fainted because of the lecture material, Dr. Bowler shouted from his high lecture platform, 'Get that man out in the air.' As four stalwarts carried the startled sleeper up the aisle past my outside seat one bearer muttered to the alleged corpse, 'Shut your eyes, you damned fool!'"

Can you top this? Contributions to compete with Harry will be gratefully received and perhaps printed.
