1938

HIP, HIP, HOORAY! Former roommate Bill McMurtrie has it made. "It" is a hip, the second he has had successfully replaced. The operation kept Mac from making our reunion, but it hasn't kept him off the golf course where he's managing to keep his score nicely below his blood pressure. It also hasn't kept him from "ankling down the aisle," as Walter Winchell was wont to say. A widower for the past ten years, Bill has up and married Ann Mahoney, widow of another Dartmouth, George Mahoney '40.

MAKING THE MOST OF GLASNOST. Recently back from the Rodina that's Tom Clancy for Mother Russia Belden Bly apparently enjoyed his second peek behind the Iron Curtain as a Citizen Ambassador of the People to People program initiated by President Eisenhower. One purpose of his visit: "to see for myself if 'The Evil Empire' is any less evil since my last visit." Belden was a member of a delegation of American lawyers and judges with criminal justice knowledge.

A former Representative of the sovereign state of Massachusetts, Belden also visited France, Hungary, and Sweden, where he homed in on the legal systems of several different cultures.

Think that's why he couldn't make reunion?

TURN GREEN, SUPERMAN! A single ace can never beat four of a kind. The aforementioned four, aka Bob Manegold, BobReeve, John Scotford, and Gil Tanis, walked away with what must surely be every honor available in Reunion Alumni Fund activities. In a recent presentation in Hanover, the foursome garnered: 1) The Alumni Fund Committee Award for Best AilAround Achievement; 2) The Class of 1938 Award for Largest Reunion Total This Year; 3) The Joshua A. Davis Award for Greatest Dollar Improvement for a Reunion Class, and 4) The Roger Wilde 1921 Reunion Award for Extraordinary Achievement in Setting New Reunion Records of 50th Reunion Classes. Then Scotty, in a solo performance, won the Laurence G. Levitt Award for Outstanding Achievement in Memorial Gifts.

Fantastic, right? Congratulations, right? But you know what? They couldn't have done it without the amazing class of the Amazing Class of 1938 behind them. Right? Let's keep it up.

NOVEMBER IN HANOVER. On the 4th and 5th, Houseparties Weekend, with Columbia the game de jour.
