1931

John Marsh '30 wrote that the Varsity Quartet gave the first ever rendition of "Dartmouth Undying" at his class banquet in May 1930 at Commons, and that the Quartet included Lew Taylor and Bill Waterman. He asked for their addresses as he wanted to send each a copy of a photo of the Quartet and one of the original scores of that composition by Professors McDuffee and Whitford. I was happy to oblige, and judging by the date of John's thank-you note, Lew and Bill each received an unexpected Christmas present.

Sam Taylor wrote that after a lot of doctoring he now knows what his Uncle John meant when he said, "It's hell to be old."

Ernie Moore is contemplating going to our 60th and also switching from golf to croquet. He reports the health of his wife, Angie, to be improved.

Exceedingly large and talented football lineman are reported in the class of 1993. Great news this, but checks made payable to "Friends of Dartmouth Football" (I'll forward) will help the coaching staff fill some other needs in recruiting.

Lee Andrews reported neither damage nor injury from the October earthquake. From across the Sierra Nevada in Reno came a description by Mildred and Bob Powell of non-earthquake related house renovation which left me hoping my wife doesn't get similar ideas.

Vance Dickerman's long, delightful letter included recollections of our doings in Philadelphia in the early thirties, and of his fishing trip in Montana with Bob Baumrucker.

Charlie Hill reported the arrival of his first great-grandchild. George Nickum, who is anticipating our 60th, Lucy Cogswell, Sid Rubin, Al Bucher, and Willard Matteson sent greetings.

Vic King's considering astounding the fact that 11 of our 21-man fraternity delegation are still living prompted me to count approximately 230 living classmates out of some 630 matriculates. Stay tuned for checking.
