1925

Our mini-reunion, though sparsely attended, was an enjoyable one. A torrential rain in the morning finally cleared just before noon, and the game was played in a beautiful, warm and sunny afternoon. Unfortunately, the first string quarterback came down with mononeucleosis just before the game. This seemed to have an effect on the team, but the loss was by only a small score, largely due to an ineffective passing attack. Rad Tanzer entertained at cocktails after the game. Attending were the Leavitts, Newtons, Sleighs, Tanzer, DrisSchriever, and Dick and CarolineMcDonough (who managed our 65th so efficiently). Terry McGaughan, and DickColton, among others, have expressed their regret that they were unable to attend.

Bud Brown, back in Arizona after our reunion, reports on a successful Indian summer season for the 50th year of his riding camp, which offered riding, harnessing, and mule-wagon activities in gorgeous weather in the Arizona Mountains. More game than usual was sighted (including big Ducks just out of velvet), and there was the annual wagon train drive from Flagstaff to the Grand Canyon.

Joe Leavitt wonders why Dartmouth no longer has a rifle club like the one of which he was president while in College. He won his rifle team "D" and suggests that there must be a faculty member who could coach a team if a club were formed.

Frank Van Orman, whose death we recently reported, was only with us for two years before transferring to Columbia but has always been loyal to the class and to Dartmouth. His wife (Vassar '25) was in the same class as Dot Leavitt, Julie HewittColt, and Ginny Burner.

Scoof and Gertrude Newton seem to be covering New England this summer, with a camping trip in Vermont, the Reunion and mini-reunion in Hanover, visiting friends in Maine, and showing up at various other times and places in Massachusetts arid elsewhere.

Thought for the month: One is honored not for what he receives but for what he rives.
