1927

Nineteen twenty-seven up! This is the final call for our "Last Hurrah" in June. Even though you won't be reading this until May, it is today only six days after the ground hog poked his nose out of the ground in Newburyport, Mass., then pulled it back in again after seeing nothing but snow, ice, sleet, and Brad Fuller busily engaged in making preparations for the 60th. Seth Besse will man the registration desk, and the speaker for the Tuesday night banquet will be a well-known and successful classmate and former member of the Alumni Council. At this date, well over 100 are expected. The advance registration fee will be $50 per person, and your check for that amount should be mailed, at once to Bradley Fuller, 17 Atwood Street, Newburyport, MA 01950. The additional later charge will be less than $100 per person, which is a bargain at any price.

In thanking us for his recent class birthday card, Ray Ring wrote from retirement at his ancestral farm in Epsom, N.H., as follows: "All is well with me and Bessie as far as we know. The years have dealt us a good hand. I retired in 1969 after an active life in aft during which I had a studio in Boston, taught art and lastly was art director at the Harvard Business Review."

In Fountain Hills, Ariz., which he described as a small desert community, SteveOsborn enjoys rummaging around his attic looking for old college memorabilia. One gem, which he sent us, consisted of pages from an old 1927 issue of the Dartmouth Jack O'Lantern. This reminded us of the olden days when we read that magazine regularly. The Osborns are happy to have Dow and Alice Mills as neighbors for the winter months.

Bob Gilboy, in a recent letter from An- dersonville, N.C, had this to offer: "Thanks 82 times for your birthday card. I am always glad to get it even though the years refuse to decrease. I have been busy, active and able to work taking care of a score of woods and streams on our property. I have also been working with my son in developing property in the eastern mountains of North Carolina. I am looking forward to the 60th."

Bill Chapman was reclining in his easy chair when he succumbed to the urge to answer his latest birthday card. At 81, he feels just about the same as he did at 75. Most of his travel these days is local, and as a result he noticed that the carpet and chair upholstery are showing considerably more signs of wear. Bill added, "I sure appreciate your birthday greetings."

Also grateful for his birthday reminder, was Stu Ensinger. He wrote from Madison, N.H.: "Yours is always one card that I can count on receiving and which I look forward to. I have just completed 25 years as treasurer of our local library and the mayor has appointed me for another five year term. I hope that my health, which is now fairly good, will carry over for the full term. Helen and I will be in Florida for the first four months Of 1987 and expect to attend the class Pow Wow in Sarasota in March."
