1937

I Political news is not the only news being made in New Hampshire. President Russ Sterns has been appointed to the Alumni Council as the representative of the Class President's Association. Hal and Mariene Putnam spent the summer in Hanover residing in a friend's apartment at Kendal. During a career as a newspaperman, naval officer, government official, attorney, writer, and artist, he spent eight years as a state representative in Massachusetts—the 59th member of his family to serve in that body in the first 300 years of its history. Can the Kennedys top that record?

Bill Rotch reports that he and Hal canoed up the Connecticut from the Ledyard Canoe Club. Bill and Patty attended the Dartmouth Campus Abroad in Switzerland in September. They spent three days at a Swiss folk-dancing school and then went on to London and Wales. We will check out their dancing skills at the mini in September.
