1929

Frank Weeks's daughter reports his death on November 6 after months of hospital stays. Our short obituaries won't begin to tell his achievements in school and hospital services.

On their way to Boca Raton for the winter, Gus and Mary Wiedenmayer stopped in Connecticut to see Dick and Mary Burke. Dick's paralysis is unchanged.

Larry Lougee was out of the hospital in early November and proudly announcing the election of his son Dick '7B to the New Hampshire house of representatives.

The College suggests two vice presidents for older classes, and your committee added Hanover's good Dr. Frank Foster, too late to make it on our new stationery.

President CharlieDudley is digging up lists of lost classmates, particularly widows. We need your help. President Freedman knows and sings the verses of "Men of Dartmouth." Things keep getting better. But here:

In these times of mawkish sentiment Say not "man"but "fellow persons," And "ad hominem" needs "ad feminem" As our wimpish English worsens. In such quandaries we're hung! May we still say "mother tongue?"
