1925

Each of these listed received a commemorative pewter bowl with his name and class and the inscription "in gratitude for 60 years of consecutive giving. Dartmouth Alumni Fund": Abel, Beatty, Borwell,Brace, Caufield, George Chamberlain, Friedmann, Haffenreffer, King,Leavitt, B. Lyons, McCready, N. Martin,Meginnity, Misch, Petrequin, Sleigh, A.R. Smith, Vom Lehn. (Incidentally: These 19 compared to 1924 with nine, 1923 with four, and earlier classes with less-not to boast, but further proof of a "great class".)

You may or may not recall that there is an endowed 1925 scholarship which is awarded annually to a deserving student. The year's endowed 1925 scholarship award was to Joel Allison '88, a music major from New Jersey. He completed his freshman year with a solid B average in spite of a challenging schedule which included biology, calculus, chemistry, American fiction, computer science, music and technology, music theory, and brass instruction. He was a member of the band and the symphony wind ensemble and was publicity representative of the Fayerweather Cluster Council, as well as a volunteer in the Big Brother/Big Sister Program, and held a job as a grader in the math and computer science department.

Cubby Cubbins reports that after a heart attack ("no fun," he says), he is back to playing executive golf courses. He is still active in the Coast Guard Auxiliary, the Rotary Club, and the Presbyterian Church, has an amateur radio license, enjoys photography, and is fussing with home computers. Baba and he have three children, seven grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren, all of whom are happy and well. He sees Jack Hamilton now and then and other Dartmouth men, but no classmates lately. He and Baba have lined up a ship out of Fort Lauderdale for a Halley's Comet cruise so he can see the comet for the second time in his life (as quite a few of us hope to).

Dick Colton, checking in from Clearwater, Fla., is now serving as vice president of the local Dartmouth Club. He is also a director of Lykes Brothers, Inc., with headquarters in Tampa. They saw the Princeton game on TV in Sarasota direct from Hanover. He thought the Princeton boys made too much noise. Their family live in New Orleans, Salt Lake City, and San Francisco. Son Howell has a condo in the latter city, and the whole family will gather there for Christmas and New Year's. This summer they will be in Vermont and Hanover. So that's the story on the Coltons-I wish I had a story on each of the rest of you '25s.

Curt Abel hits the news again with his award from the Dartmouth Alumni Fund of the prestigious Roger C. Wilde '21 Award in recognition of his extraordinary achievement in setting a new 60th-reunion record of $400,030 in the 1985 Alumni Fund campaign.

Bill and Betty Sleigh attended, as your representatives on the Alumni Council, the inspiring, though hardworking, meetings of the Council in Hanover November 21-22. They wish you could experience the tremendous input and output of this group. Space does not permit details, but they will come to you in other College publications.

Dick Richards reported from South Bend, Ind., before leaving in November for the winter in Clearwater, Fla.

Hawley Taft is enjoying life at his retirement spot in Hightstown, N.J., where he is in charge of all sports-no track or football, but many less active ones. He notes there are "lots of widows," but apparently not for him.

Thought for the month: What's so distinctive about having a heart of gold? Even a hard-boiled egg has one.
