1921

Let's remember our 65th reunion motto:To look up and not doun,To look forward and not back,To look out and not in, andTo lend a hand.

Edward Everett Hale Your secretary received notice from the Dartmouth Alumni Fund office that last year Russell Bailey and Ralph Steiner were awarded commemorative pewter bowls. We now have 25 men who have donated to the Fund for 60 continuous years. Excellent! Any more for this year?

While on the road to Hanover, Martha and I stopped at Nashua for the night. In our room was a New Hampshire Recreation and Travel newspaper. Its featured article (with headlines in red ink) was entitled "Ruggles Mine an Education." A Sam Ruggles first discovered the abundance of mica on his land in 1803. The mine is two miles from the center of Grafton, N.H. This mine is now a long tunnel which is glimmering with mica and other minerals. I understand that Sam Ruggles is an ancestor of our own Daniel Ruggles. A trip to Grafton will be a rewarding experience. You can even rent a chisel and hammer to do your own mining, and the wealth is yours.

Dr. Stanley Oliver, an adopted member of our class, died of a heart attack in April 1985, at his home in Keene, N.H. He leaves his wife, Ethel, and a son, Howard '40. Stanley was a graduate of Tufts College Dental School, where he earned his D.M.D. He then settled in Quincy, Mass., where he established his practice for the rest of his busy life. His close friend, Stanley "Jeff" Lawrence, gave the class the news of his passing.

He was a descendant of Thomas Oliver from Bristol, England, who settled in Boston in 1632.

With deep regrets, we report the death of Joseph Lane on January 4.

Dear Classmates: Many of you have received letters from me begging for news, but I can't write to all of you, and you would hardly expect me to do so.

Bob Burroughs wrote that their doctor told his wife that she must not climb the stairs any more because of her heart condition. Therefore, they invested in a stair elevator just like an escalator! Bob recommends that approach to other class members.

Don't rush, but please write! The brouhaha about coaching football at Dartmouth allows me to quote: "The aim of education is the knowledge not of fact, but of values."—Dean Inge,
