1941

Stop the presses! The Old Man of the Mountain may soon be resurrected. The venerable landmark, which was the victim of a geological shift or a possible fraternity prank, may soon be the centerpiece of a theme park in the White Mountains. The financial backers are considering a plan to remodel the Old Man and flank his stony face with similar carvings of Daniel Webster and Eleazar Wheelock. More details to follow.

The preceding fantasy was the result of a lack of valid reports from classmates. However a few belated phone conversations saved your secretary from further embellished reporting a la New YorkTimes.

Bill Clark up in Southern Pines, North Carolina, advised that he had just given up golf after a long and enjoyable life on the links. He recalled playing on the Dartmouth team with little support from the Athletic Council. He received better golfing support from the British Red Cross when he was stationed in England before D Day. Jim Cocalis is a long-time resident of New Jersey who attended Rutgers Law School after obligatory wartime service. He had a long career as a stock broker for Prudential Securities. Now he's enjoying good health, the companionship of his wife, Eleanor, and their five children and fond memories of residing in Ripley Hall with the likes of Carr Wilson, Gardner Cook and Bob Dickson. Charlie Hadiey and his wife, Rosamond, are happy with their retirement community in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Charlie worked in electronics for RCA and then took early retirement at age 55. He received a masters degree in physics from Dartmouth and a Ph.D. from MIT. Your secretary had to thank Charlie again for his valiant effort to explain the long math problems in Physics 51, "Heat and Steam." Only Charlie and future Nobel Prizewinner Owen Chamberlain knew what Professor Proctor was talking about. Lee Grace and his wife, Barbara, sounded healthy and content in their home in Casper, Wyoming. Lee was self-em- ployed for 3 5 years in the purchase and sale of oil and gas properties. Until recent years he enjoyed backpacking with friends in the remote Wyoming mountains. He also flew his own plane until recently, his last aircraft being a PT 10, a large singleengine model. We should all be so hale, hearty and adventurous.
