1926

George Scott has agreed to be Alumni Fund class co-head agent together with Al Louer, who will continue his long, highly-successful tour of duty with George's cooperation. Scotty has served for many years as regional agent in the metropolitan New York area and has been a member of the class executive committee. We wish him much luck with our hearty support.

Saying for some years now, "I plan to teach one more year," our senior Gob DesMarais is already close to the end of the mid-year term at York Technical College, Rock Hill, S.C., with his class of 45 in his course "Personal and Interpersonnel Adjustments." Gob and Marion are looking forward to the 60th reunion.

Courtney and Marjorie Brown, back from a delightful cruise arranged by Dartmouth Alumni College, said there was much they did not know about the ancient world and that the experience of learning more was as rewarding as the cruise on the Aegean.

We heard via Reg Hanson that ever since 1967 Al and Polly Lowell have enjoyed life in Holiday, Fla., with occasional trips north to visit their daughter Judy and family in New Jersey. Al sees former roommate Wad Woods when he and Nadine visit Florida during baseball spring training season.

Jack Bickford reports that life continues to be interesting and moderately active for him and that he still has some business interests. Until recently he was acting director of the local museum, which he says has the leather jacket worn by Crazy Horse at the battle of Big Horn where Custer met his defeat. Jack's museum and this year's class birthday card have something in common.

Encountering Hank Whitmore one day on a local bus, we learned he would be leaving soon for the west coast of Florida. Another Newtonian, Carl Schipper, recently dropped by with the news that he and his sister Ann would be off for New Zealand, Australia, and assorted East Indies. According to Carl, Doug Everett, who uses the same travel agency, had to postpone a planned trip until after a hip operation. But then Hub Harwood more recently heard that Carl also had to postpone his trip because of legal business.

Last July the governor of Rhode Island named July 14, 1982, as Richard Eberhart Day due to our classmate's being honored for his writings at the University of Rhode Island summer writers conference. Dartmouth College took a similar action, naming October 13, 1982, as Richard Eberhart Night at Spaulding Auditorium. The Bishops, McKennas, Starretts, Talbots, and Weymouths were in attendance for 1926.

During the summer, Dick and ,Dot Husband made 1926 history by being the first to enroll in the Elderhostel program, spending a week at Nasson College, Westbrook, Maine, and New England College, Henniker, N.H., taking various courses offered. Dick is again teaching a course in industrial psychology at the University of Florida in Tallahassee.

There must be others, but the one who tells of walking the path quite a few times to the observatory as part of Professor Poor's astronomy class was Larry Scoville. Larry's home in Crescent, Ga., is a long way from Hanover, but the class birthday card brought back memories.

It must seem like ancient history to be reading in December a report on the Hanover Dartmouth-Harvard weekend, but 49 of the 1926 family were on hand at the 14-12 squeaker, which included a most enthusiastic Dartmouth Night celebration, a pre-game lunch at Oberlander Lounge, the game with rain and hailstones, and then the class dinner at the Sheraton in West Leb. In the next breath it is Merry Christmas! Peace! Shalom!
