1933

33 Tune up the hearing aids! Fill the pill boxes! Adjust the surgical stockings! 1933 is gearing up to roar into Hanover for its 60th Reunion next year! As Mehitabel, the pal of Archie the Cockroach, used to say, "There's a dance in the old dame yet!" So make your plans for the June 14-16 celebration of this notable anniversary of our departure from the Hanover Plain. Reunion Chairman Jack Manchester and his band of merry men and women are already hard at work preparing the infrastructure and ask for our cooperation and suggestions. Above all they ask for early notification of plans to attend.

A recent check reveals that all is well with Al and Ann Strock. A Harvard Dental graduate, Al continues his career of inventing dental devices. His great achievement came 50 years ago when he proved the feasibility of dental implants. He has been named chairman of the committee formed to celebrate the 125th anniversary of the Harvard Dental School. He practiced dentistry at Martha's Vineyard for 30 years until he turned the practice over to his Dartmouth nephew Peter Strock '59 in 1985. Al and Ann are looking forward to a move from Newton Center to Hanover.

Dave and Mary Hatch had just returned from their annual five-week trip to Germany when we caught up with Dave a short time ago. With Eurail passes, they traveled widely by rail and boat. Mary teaches German at Columbia College (S.C.) while Dave was professor of sociology and chairman of the department at the University of Soudi Carolina. He specialized in contemporary social problems, social stratification, the community, and the family. After a first retirement in 1976 he taught at Benedict, a college for minorities in Columbia, S.C., for 14years, finally chucking it in the fall of 1990. Even now he putters around in medieval sociology, having become enamored of the great Nicholas of Cusa (you could look him up). Once a talented member of Professor Sadler's gym group, Dave does no flyaways today, but he was captivated by the gymnasts at the Olympic games.
