1937

An address list of alumni officers is published by the College each year. Our class is represented by Don McKinlay among the living former trustees. Seven classmates are listed among the living former alumni councilors. They are Fran Fenn, Bill Heroy James Humphrey, Don McKinlay, Collin MacCarty, Sey Ochsner, and Phil Swain. Hank Pierce is included as the public information person for The Dartmouth Club of Princeton.

Lou Valier, who probably saw as much of this globe as anyone in the class, died in Honolulu on November 4, 1995. A year ago, Bill Rotch, had dinner with him in Hawaii and reported that Lou had just returned from viewing an eclipse in Chile. Lou was an astronomer and taught classes in celestial navigation, now almost a lost art with Loran and the Global Positioning System (GPS) providing navigational fixes from satellites. He had a 48-foot auxiliary ketch built and sailed more than 50,000 miles in the Pacific Ocean on his own.

Your class officers will be gathering in Hanover on May 3-4 for Dartmouth Class Officers Weekend. If any of you have great ideas, suggestions, or complaints, please write or phone Russ Stearns or any officer so that we can consider your thoughts at that time.

There are rumors of a class trip in October. Plans should be known early in May.

Bob and Liz McCoy will be cruising around Ireland and Scotland in May on the SS Polaris. Many classmates and widows live or spend winter months in Florida. Why not have a weekend class gathering in Florida next winter?

We hope to have the new class directory in your hands by the time you receive the May Alumni Magazine.
