1926

The campus in 1926 with Dartmouth Hall in the background is pictured on the class birthday card, with students in napping unbuckled galoshes crossing on the snow-bound paths. It reminded Bill Forrest, Woodside, Calif., of times skiing to White River Junction when temperatures were 20 to 30 degrees below zero. This past winter his neighbors complained about 28 degrees above zero in California. From Boca Raton, Fla., comes word that this year Bob and Dorothy Stopford's travels will be in the U.S.A. -not in foreign lands. In April they will visit Dorothy's son, who is dean of the business school of New York University, Plattsburgh. In June it is a wedding in New York City, and in July a planned trip to Alaska. Last December Bob was afflicted with shingles on the left side of his face—very painful and seemingly unending.

For seven years Ed Hanlon, Sarasota, Fla., has been battling abdominal cancer, and keeps bouncing back after numerous treatments, the last being seven days' hospitalization in January. As class historian, Ed keeps a keen interest in all classmates' activities both past and present, and assumed after hearing of Gob DesMarais's death that Bill Farnsworth was now our senior classmate which indeed the class records show to be quite correct. Our retired U.S. Army major general Bill and his wife, Sophie, live in Pompano Beach, Fla.

The Dartmouth '26 club at North Hill in Needham met March 18 for dinner in the private dining room after cocktails in K204 to celebrate the 85th birthday of Henry Blake, our next-door Wellesley neighbor. All active club members were present: Mrs. Don (Marj) Hopkins, Dickand Ruth Nichols, Don and Lou Norstrand, and Carl Schipper and sister Ann Colburn.

Head agent George Scott and all his assistant agents are trying to raise our participation from 90 percent to 100 percent in the ongoing Alumni Fund, besides attaining our goal of $65,000, so '26 UP!
