1921

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

Edward Everett Hale

The following few lines apply to all classmates who have never forgotten the invigorating air of Hanover and are now planning a return to enjoy it leaving behind them the polluted air of the big cities.

Happy the man, whose wish and care A few paternal acres bound Content to breathe his native air In his own ground.

Alexander Pope

Russ Bailey, editor of our "Smoker," sent me a card from Clarence "Speedy"Fleet's widow, who tells us that she spent September in Italy - "a beautiful trip." She enjoyed Thanksgiving with her son, Charley '53, and his family in New Orleans and planned to spend Christmas with her daughter and family in Concord, Mass.

After all this traveling, she was going to return to Cutchague, N.Y., where she would settle down for a quiet winter.

Received another card from Russ Bailey in which Don Sawyer tells us he and "Jo" are back in Florida. They are planning their move to Village-on-the-Green, a life care center. If the place is not completed by the time they go back to Rockport, Mass., in May, their move will be delayed until next fall.

He tells us he has 10 great-grandchildren with two more expected soon. I am sure, Don, that one of them will land at Kidder Peabody. He will have a splendid precedent.

Dartmouth has a host of problems to solve which are being exploited in the news media. According to Winston Churchill, here is how it is done: "All great things are simple and many can be expressed in a single word: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope."

As Gorbachev and Reagan said good- bye, I trust that both were aware of what Samuel Butler (1600-1680) said many years ago: "There's but the twinkling of a star between a man of peace and war."

In The Dream of Home by Thomas Moore (1779-1852), Moore said: Who has not felt how sadly sweet The dream of home, the dream of home, Steals o'er the heart, too soon to fleet, When far o'er sea or land we roam?

Classmates, this is the proper quatrain to dream about when you are undecided about returning to Hanover for our 65th and last official reunion! Write to G.Harry Chamberlaine, and tell him that you are on the way.
