1920

We hope you like the logo accompanying this column. It was executed by grandaughter Kathy Carter Pate and her husband, Kent, who live in Wilton, Maine. Kathy is number three daughter of W. Douglas Carter '49. The Alpine mountain climber depicts class president Sherman Adams scaling his latest peak. If you think it has been an easy climb you are wrong. He needs all the support we can give him, so let's follow his courageous footsteps up to the 65th, and be on hand for the reunion on June 7, 8, and 9, 1985! Please keep his letter, dated November 1984, on continuous display, and make a bright circle around those dates on your favorite calendar, where you can see it every day.

It was delightful and refreshing to hear from so many of you at Christmas time, and I deeply appreciate your encouraging messages. It is not possible in this issue to thank each of you, but I will do so soon. As you probably know, 1920 is allotted only 400 words in its column. And what I am writing now in January you will be reading in the March issue.

There are priorities which must be observed, such as a letter from Joel Portugal '58, chairman of the Dartmouth Alumni Fund, which requests all secretaries to include this letter in their column: "The goals for the 1985 Alumni Fund have been set: $12,000,000 and 70 percent. That's an increase in 15 percent in dollars over last year and three percent in participation. These are significant increases but very realistic if we meet our high side. Please send your gift or pledge in early. Increase your gift or pledge by at least 15 percent. An early gift or pledge saves mailing costs and makes your classmates' jobs easier."

A copy of "Dartmouth Anthropology Notes" reached me just too late for my last column. It includes an interesting report about Ken Emory. A clipping from The Honolulu Star Bulletin reads in part: "Kenneth Emory . . . the Bishop Museum's senior anthropologist, will be 86 on November 23." It goes on to tell of his many accomplishments (he is called the "father of Hawaiian archaeology" among other things), noting particularly the Polynesian lunar calendar he has been studying. He has also been honored by the Bishop Museum, which dedicated the Kenneth P. Emory Paukenikeni Grove. We are proud of you, Ken, and we hope that you and Marguerite will be joining us in June 1985. P.S.: I feel honored to share the same birth date with you!
