1942

September 1940. We're back as juniors. A new dorm, Butterfield, opens. Season tickets for athletic events will go for $12.00, up from last year's $10.00 price tag. Hoppy attacks "counterfeit liberals" in his convocation address. Stub Pearson, Doug Stowell, and Dale Bartholomew are football starters as the season opens with a 35-0 win over St. Lawrence. September 1940. Fifty years

Another time frame, one which we will continue to update here each issue in the future: Just 21 months to our big 50th in June 1-992. Are you making your plans now?

Cleaning out the mailbag: A note from Cappy Rix in Oakland reports on his elevation to director of Los Cerros Ranch, an Alameda County Correctional Facility for delinquent boys of high school age. Cappy has 100 in tow now with 50 more waiting in lockups for vacancies at the ranch. Cappy adds that wife Sally wants him to retire, but I can't make out from his letter if Cappy is going to do this or is just going to take an extended vacation this fall.

Dr. Howard Halfmann writes that he has moved again. Howard will now be at 66 Blueberry Hill Lane, Gilford, NH 03246 from May 1 until October 1 each year and then the rest of the year at 1610 Duffy Court, Venice, FL 34293.

Eustis (Pat) Reily out of Metaire, La., writes to tell me how to reach him. Pat says he "is getting more health and happiness than I and my wife deserve, but progress in civic affairs is excrutiatingly slow." Pat still skis with vigor, "thanks to Dartmouth."

An exchange of letters with Doug Duffy uncovered the fact that we have our Florida vacations at places a couple of hundred yards apart on Sarasota's Siesta Key. The notes also brought the news, which I had not known before, that Doug gave his working years to the CIA.

And a long letter from Jake Davis on the Cape tells of Jake's oldest grandson graduating with the class of '90 injune, 176 years after his earliest "D" ancestor in the class of 1814. Jake was among a lot of our age alumni who were unhappy with the valedictorian's address. Jake also has granddaughters in the classes of 1993 and 1994.

You'll be reading this in plenty of time to add the 1990 fall mini-reunion to your schedule if you have not already planned to be in Hanover October 12 (Friday) to the 14th (Sunday). It's the Yale game and a whole lot of classmates. Be there!
