1920

On my way up to Hanover in June I stopped in Concord at Havenwood, 22 Christian Avenue, to see both Ted Marden and Doris Richardson. Ted deserves a great deal of credit for pulling himself out of a severe stroke he had several years ago and for the way he is carrying on now. I offered to take him to Hanover for his 65th reunion, but he really wasn't quite up to it. And Doris—she has lost weight and looked beautiful. It was a joy to see her smiling and cheerful.

While in Hanover I stopped at Baker Library to see about the memorial book program. It was functioning as scheduled. A book is purchased in memory of each deceased '20 alumnus and put out on the shelves of the Baker for use; each book has an impressive bookplate showing that it was given in someone's memory by 1920 classmates.

Lest you did not see it in the Summer issue of the Alumni Magazine, Howard Ropes, class of 1903, recently celebrated his 104 th birthday. Page 61 of the same issue the top picture shows Red Tillson, bequest chairman, and Nate Whiteside, head agent of the Alumni Fund, who seem to be in serious conversation. Those in the 1920 class picture taken in front of the Inn with a background of the old Concord coach are from left to right, PatHolbrook and Horace Dalrymple, cochairmen of the 65th reunion; Leo Ungar; president Sherman Adams; Mel Merrit, well remembered for his football record; and Red Tillson. Also on page 63, bottom picture, second from right, is Don Hight '30, husband of our Harriett Miller Hight.I didn't see her, but I am sure she was there.

A green card from Leo Ungar lets us know they arrived in Council Bluffs, lowa, safely and have recovered from the trip.

Mrs. Roger Horton (Gladys) has also taken advantage of the green card to let me know that her new address is Ann Maria Rest Home, 1398 Main Street, Worcester, Ma.

In the final Alumni Fund "Green Derby," which consists of classes 1918 through 1922, 1920 leads with 69 donors, $59,801 received, 239.2 percent of objective and 364.7 percent combined rating, all due to Nate Whiteside's efforts and the generosity of the class contributions. Wouldn't it be nice to have a record like that ever year?

Some 1,800 students have received letters of acceptance to Dartmouth's class of 1989 in addition to a waiting list of 600. These acceptances came from a pool of approximately 9,500 applicants, the largest in the history of the College.

To all, Best Wishes.
