1916

Maybe there is something to the song about Dartmouth men having the granite of New Hampshire in their muscles and their brains. Of 1916's 39 men, all over 85 years old, only ten are having serious health problems.

Dan Dinsmoor reports that he now has a cane; thus he becomes the 22nd member of 1916's Cane Club.

June will be a long-remembered month for Dick and Kay Parkhurst, for their granddaughter Katherine Sykes graduates from Dartmouth then. This young lady has a grand record as a Rufus Choate Scholar, as a violist in the Dartmouth Symphony Orchestra, and as an "all-Ivy" selection in women's soccer. Dick is especially proud that his "D" in hockey and her "D" in soccer make one of the first times a grandfather and granddaughter have both earned their varsity letters. Something new has been added to the Dartmouth athletic program, so that now when a student has earned a letter in three successive years, a green "D" blanket is awarded. Katherine Sykes is the recipient of one of these.

To Larry Doyle goes the sympathy of the class on the death of his wife Irene in March. A letter from Larry tells that they celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary last November.

And with deepest regret, we have to tell you of the loss of two more 1916 ladies Ruth, widow of Raymond A. Lawrence, and Mabel, widow of Stuart D. Hallagan.
