1931

With family ties to the football coaching staff of the University of Delaware teams which played the Maine teams of our new coach, Buddy Teevens, Bill Lyons reports inside information that those Maine teams "sent good Delaware teams into fits," and that Teevens will be a big plus for Dartmouth. So, let's have some big turnouts of '31s for the games this fall. It's been a great year for the Lyonses. First, Floss and Bill had what Bill described as a wonderful trip to the five principal Hawaiian islands. Then came their 55th wedding anniversary on April 15. To round out the first six months they, as classmates, attended their 60th high school class reunion in June. How many other classmates were in the same high school class with their spouses?

Hart Gilchrist writes that the Gilchrists keep up a constant search for good fishing places in the Sun Belt in the winter, and in the North in the summer. Gilly also reports that Buddy Teevens made an excellent impression on the alumni during his visit to the Denver club.

The Dan Denhams had seven weeks in Florida this past winter, renting a house next door to the house they had previously owned, and spent many happy times again with '3ls who live in that part of Florida. They saw both the Navy and Princeton games last fall, the latter, I hope, being a preview of games we'll play this season.

Beany Thorn wrote me on stationery of the Pearl Continental Hotel in Karachi and enclosed it in an envelope from a lodge in Gilgit, the location of which can be found in a good atlas. He described the trip to Gilgit as exciting, dangerous and Shan-grila. According to my atlas they have only several hundred miles of camel caravan route left to close the gap between where they've been in China and where they just were in Pakistan/India. Go for it, Beany.

By now you've read in the Summer issue the notice of the Alumni Award our DickHenry received. Great going, Dick; it was well deserved.

Puck Uckerson asks for further information on the media report that the Trustees were considering the establishment of a law school in Hanover, specifically if it were to replace the Mary Hitchcock Medical School facility, and how it is to be funded. Any answers out there?

Lloyd Wilson reported from Chevy Chase last Easter that he's still hanging in there, gets to see Bill Minehan's sister-in-law and her husband who live down the hall, and looked forward to a visit from his daughter from San Francisco.

A note from Ned Campbell from Scottsdale, Ariz., reporting that he'd been in touch with Bill Farley and George Nickum. The latter's new address was listed in BillWendell's last newsletter.

The Winter Carnival Queen in February 1931, Betty Schroeder King, writes that her granddaughter graduated from the College last June with the class of '87. That, '31s, should convince you if you weren't already convinced, that time really marches on.

Jim Cooley joins Al Schumacher in writing with a personal computer. Jim greatly enjoys using the machine for every task he can, now that his golf game has been curtailed. He feels that he has not been getting the controversial news from Hanover very completely, and asked if there were more in print elsewhere other than the letters in this magazine. Answers to this question are now DAM's most important goals—to keep alumni informed of Dartmouth, and to strengthen the Dartmouth family.
