1950

"Time's a-wastin'," Snuffy Smith used to tell Barney Google in the comics when you were a kid. Well, tempus doth still fugit and you'd better get your reservations in to Len Matless, (17 Rayton Road, Hanover, NH 03755) or you might not find bed and board when you arrive in Hanover June 11 for our 40th. With Saint Paddy's Day just around the corner, you have, perhaps, only a dozen weeks to wait for the glorious event.

DISPLAY DIRECTOR. Tom Ruggles, (128 Walden Street, Concord, MA 01742) is working on a giant photo display to be unveiled at the tent to contain as many snapshots as you can dig out of the moth balls. Send him what you can find ... what better way to get even with an old roomie than to see his picture with that coed he dated before he met his kiddies' mother?

Tom observed that the latest Dartmouth Today video "is sort of nice and certainly concentrates on the positive side of what's going on" back in Hanover. You haven't seen it? Borrow a copy from your local D club and get inspired to make the pilgrimage in June.

PHILLIE PHINANCES. If you've seen the TV ads for phunny phaucets, you'll be able to read that caption. Otherwise, forget it. But a long story in December recounted a few of the trials and tribulations Roger Hillas continues to cope with as he tried to get Meritor Savings Bank back into viable fiscal condition in the City of Brotherly Love, after selling off 54 branches to Pittsburgh-based Mellon. He's trying to do it with a downtown inner-city concentration just when legislation on S&Ls is pending. Whether Meritor (the nation's oldest savings institution, the venerable PSFS) can parlay the capital infusion into a thriving Philadelphia-based bank is still open to question." Rog will give it a run!

With deep regret we report the passing of William H. Miller October 1] at Mass. General and John Gammie December 26 in Tulsa. We'll miss them both.
