1934

I have no news to write about our classmates except for a nice note from "Shorty" Thomas, which I will get into later. So I will write about my favorite subject—Dartmouth sports. The less said about our fall and early-winter teams the better, although our women's soccer team, which ranked 18th nationally and should have been invited to the NCAA tournament, had a good season, 12-4-1. Women's hockey team is a good one—they were ranked sixth nationally and started the season by winning nine out of their first 10 games. Men's hockey started off well but injuries have hurt them—at last accounting they were 5-3-2. Men's basketball started badly—lost their first six games, then won three and lost the next one. Injuries have also hurt them. Some of the other team sports were just fair or really bad.

And now for Shorty Thomas, a really great guy—how many teachers in America at age 94 or 95 are still teaching in high school? We know one. Are there any more? Shorty had a sad year mainly because his wife of 65 years, Kay, passed away. He is fortunate to have three lovely daughters—Susan, Wendy and Deborah—who will be looking after him. Deborah is building a house in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, and he will be sharing this home with Deborah for six months a year and the other six months will be spent in his home in Wolcott, Connecticut, where he will continue to substitute teach at Cheshire High School.
