1923

By the time you read this, the football season will be all but finished with only the game at Princeton (possibly) remaining. Let us all hope that the season has been a good one, and that there has been a minimum of injuries. And as a follow-up to that, the class officers did not plan any mini-reunion this year but have arranged rooms at the Chieftain for a possible get-together in the spring at Class Officers Weekend (May 3-4, 1985). Confirm your own reservation at the Chieftain for rooms which will be held in the name of the class until sometime in February. So far as another meeting in the fall of '85 is concerned, we will try to do something on October 12 when Colgate is in town. As of now there seems to be very little chance of reserving a block of rooms. Do your own thing and see what you can do possibly you have friends or relatives who live in the vicinity.

A note just in from the Alumni Fund director shows an even dozen of our class who have contributed to the fund for 60 consecutive years. They are Chesley Bixby, Thomas Burch, Charles Chadbourne, Frederick Clark, Walter Friend, N. Palmer Harmon, Arthur F. Little, Mitchell May Jr., Henry Perkins, Phil Segal, Ruel Smith, and H. Carleton White. You are to be congratulated, and the class as a whole salutes you.

Bunny Metzell has been in the East visiting the Dudley Popes at their rented vacation home for the summer in Norwich. She also visited with Flo Miner. All are reported to be well.

Charlie Zimmerman also reports that John Jennings is in a convalescent home with an amputated leg and that Erv Schultz is having a rough time at the Cleveland Clinic. Burt Prouty and Mart Suydam are both reasonably well.

Did anyone catch the two articles in Yankee Magazine about Dartmouth? One was about the Hovey Grill Murals; the other about a house for sale in Wheelock, Vt. Full tuition is paid by the College for any student living in Wheelock who is admitted to Dartmouth.

More memorial books are being placed in the Baker Library. This time they memorialize two of our classmates: Henry Moore of Cape Cod, who was an ardent sportsman and for 40 years, more or less, ran columns in the Boston papers; the other was Dick Townsend, a prominent lawyer and fund raiser for the College.

Your class secretary and alumni notes editor will have returned from spending a couple of weeks flying to Istanbul and then cruising back to Vienna by way of the Danube River.

Have a happy Thanksgiving, and let's all be especially thankful that so many of us who are now in our 80s are having reasonably good health and some remaining vitality. Statistics say that one of us may live to the year 2002.
