1916

Dr. George E. Paine of Hutchinson, Kans., plans to be at his 70th reunion next year, as does Ev Parker. George is a bank director, and his bank recently put his life history in the newsletter, telling of his library of rare books on the history of medicine. He is a member of the International Medical Historical Society.

Roger Evans in Swarthmore says his Dartmouth 1916 cane is his constant prop and companion. It was carved by all 248 classmates who were in Hanover in May 1916 and by younger members of other organizations, to bring the total to 330. Dick Parkhurst is up and around and active. He says he feels like the man who said, "I'm not as good as I used to be, but then I never was."

Ruby McFalls in La Jolla claims that all he does these days is water the lawn and the flower garden, but he seems as full of spunk as ever. He still writes limericks.

Sixteeners are sometimes asked how come they have lived into their 90s. Here are some suggestions from class members:

Don't hurry, don't worry, and look for the flowers along the way.

Keep a good disposition, and take lots of vitamins.

And lastly, choose your parents carefully.
