1930

Congratulations and thanks to Gene Magenau for the results of his supreme effort in raising $82,145, which is 17 percent over goal, for the 1994 Alumni Fund. Even flat on his back, with two hands tied behind him, he defeated all the opposition and put 1930 into first place in its Green Derby group. Thanks also to the distinguished 83 percent of you great guys and gals who helped him do it. Gene did so well from his "bed of pain" that he and his capable helpers should all go back to bed for the 1995 campaign.

How's your memory? I remember George A. Sarles, so you should too. George played a beautiful trumpet, and for four years was in the band, the Dartmouth Symphony, the Instrumental Club, and the Barbary Coast. After graduation, in addition to civilian employment, he became a flyer in the Marine Corps Reserve, and for a time was a pilot for TWA. In 1942 he was assigned to active duty in the Pacific, and in June 1945, then a lieutenant colonel and leader of a B-25 bomber squadron, he was killed during a low-level bombing and strafing run in the Philippines.

I have recently heard from George's son Dale '58, who had been the recipient of a Hopkins War Memorial Scholarship for sons of Dartmouth alumni who lost their lives in WW II. Dale wishes to learn more about George's college years and would like to communicate with any of us who knew him in college. Please write to me or directly to Dale G. Sarles, 517 E. Fifth Street, Juneau, AK 99801-1013.

And finally, this is the time of the year when, once again, I can wish all members and members-in-law of a great class Happy Holidays and good health. It's special this time because New Years Day will introduce us to 1995, the year of our 65th. As it was in 1955, now in 1994, "Stay Alive for Ninety-Five." See you in Hanover June 9-11, and don't forget Gene's and Ed Weinstein's reuniongiving campaign.
