1921

As some of you may remember, Hewitt Moore won the mathematics prize in his sophomore year. After an interesting engineering career he retired to his old home in North Pomfret, Vt. Shortly before his untimely death in 1976, he battled beavers and built a dam across the little brook running through the 50 or more acres of his sister, Persis Moore Johnson. An attractive pond became the home of wily brook trout.

One evening in early June, Persis and Hewitt's widow, Dorothy, went fishing from a small rowboat. When about ready to give up they saw motion and knew that a fish had mouthed their snare. They played the fish carefully but having no net they grabbed with their bare hands and pulled into the boat a brook trout 18 inches long and weighing three pounds.

Soon after, Esther and I were guests of Persis and enjoyed a dinner of delicious trout and a dessert of fresh rhubarb pie made by Dorothy.

Hal and Martha Geilich regret their decision to stay in Florida this past summer. Most of their friends and neighbors went north as usual. The weather was unusually hot.

Victor Welch roomed in North Mass during his freshman year. A recent green card reads, "I think the class of 1921 was very lucky to have known Dartmouth as it used to be. Wah-Hoo-Wah for Dartmouth."
