1926

Stew and Mary Lou Orr decided to hit the books again by enrolling for the 1983 summer session at Principia College, Elsah, Ill. Besides taking courses of their own choosing (former trust officer Stew opted for a computer course and one on American foreign policy), they enjoyed the many campus facilities and activities.

A thoughtful note of thanks for the class birthday card for Don Steele was received from Nancy, telling of Don's progress after a stroke which did not leave him severely impaired. His and Nancy's best regards to all '26 friends were expressed.

Now living in Charlottesville, Va., in the shadow of the University of Virginia, LarryVermillion never had been a local prospect. His introduction to Dartmouth came through a member of the class of 1889 and several more recent graduates whom he knew at summer camp. Larry had to convince his father that Hanover was his mecca.

On his September birthday, Larry Kenni-

son and his wife Jean were flying home to Westport, Mass., after two delightful weeks in Italy. The impetus for the trip came from their attending Alumni College in 1982, and they concentrated on seeing many of Michelangelo's works.

Doug Everett recently returned from an exciting 20-day trip around the Indian Ocean, visiting where few tourists go Sri Lanka, Maldives, Mauritius, Reunion, Madagascar, and Seychelles. He plans now to attend a reunion of the 1932 Silver Medal Olympic hockey team when the 1984 team plays Yale. Doug's three goals in 1932 and other exploits earned him a place in the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame. Just recently he was named "Outstanding Citizen of the Year" by the Concord, N.H., Chamber of Commerce, having been in the insurance business for 57 years on Main Street. He was a trustee of two Concord banks, founder of the Concord Regional Development Corporation, and a trustee of Concord Hospital. A number of classmates and wives attended the dedication of the local skating arena which bears his name.

Class president and Hanover correspondent Tubba Weymouth reported on the Princeton game: "On September 17, Obie's Memorial Lounge resounded as Bill Hughes led "Wah-Hoo-Wahs" for Grace (Murdough)and George Slight, bride and groom of 1983, and for Ted Leland, the esteemed new director of athletics. Fine arrangements by Les Talbot, infused by Generation 11, made this pregame occasion a delightful "family gathering" with (besides the above) Charlieand Adelyn Bishop with daughter Barbara and her husband Phil McLean, Rupert Hughes (Bill's brother), Dot Talbot and son Hank '60 and his wife Chris, and BarbaraWeymouth and son Skip Weymouth '54."

The 31st 1926 Harvard-Dartmouth luncheon-boatride drew 48 participants, a slightly windy voyage up the Charles, and an excellent performance by the Big Green at the stadium. The class naval and budget consultants are weighing plans for the 1985 Harvard encounter to see if the luncheon-boatride arrangement is still feasible and in due time will render a report.

Charlie and Helen Clare Macdonald missed the Harvard game due to their twoweek trip through Ireland and a London visit, and Bill and Palmer Hughes also were absent since they were guests of Bill's brother at the UNH-Lehigh game.

Carl Schipper and his sister Ann enjoyed a four-week visit in New Zealand and Australia. Carl helped the "down unders" to celebrate the arrival of "The Cup" and then returned in time for the '26 Harvard game luncheon.

From Hanover, Bob May's Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer wishes all a Merry Christmas!
