1925

Whitey White suggests we talk up our mini-reunion in September and our 65th, which is due in 1990, not so far off now. He says he is back playing his lousy game of tennis after time out for his fifth hernia operation. It looks as though he is finally ready to retire his skis, having sold their ski lodge in Kearsarge, N.H.

Betty Crawford reports that next year there will be three of Henry Crawford's grandsons at Dartmouth: Walter Palmer '90, Robert Crawford '90, and Benjamin Crawford '92.

Bill Boies, on his way north, reported from Virginia, where he attended graduations of a grandson from William and Mary, and then to Charlottesville, where a granddaughter (Georgetown, '84) received a degree from the University of Virginia. Dutch Schroedel is back in the Bryn Mawr Hospital in Baltimore with a coronary.

Amid all the noise from Hanover, the voice of Mike Choukas '61 of the Dartmouth Development Office at Class Officers Weekend in April was quite expressive, not to say reassuring: "Strident voices are a normal part of a liberal arts college education."

In Hanover, they are taking it all as quite another bellow.

Before these notes get into print, you will probably receive from the College a resume of a talk given by Professor Wright to the Alumni Council at its June meeting, which will explain why so many in Hanover are outraged by the inappropriate, not to say dishonest and sleazy journalism exhibited by the Dartmouth Review.

We receive word now and then from the substantial number of classmates who entered with us but did not go the whole course. Among those ex-'2sers whom we have recently heard from is William "Bruce" Davis, who reports from Pittsburgh, Pa. He finds that his recent pacemaker has revived him but he still needs some months to recoup. He still keeps his loyalty to the College and his class as do so many of the others who, for one reason or another, left us early.

Word comes to us of a serious accident recently suffered by Dick Colton. He luckily escaped alive but is confined to his home in Clearwater, Fla., with nursing care.

Thought for this month: We may not be able to imagine how our lives could be more complex and frustrating, but it's certain that Congress can.
