DARTMOUTH UNDYING
Dartmouth!— there is no music for our singing,
No words to bear the burden of our praise,
Yet how can we be silent and remember The splendor and the fullness of her days!
Who can forget her soft September sunsets,
Who can forget those hours that passed like dreams— The long cold shadows floating on the campus,
The drifting beauty where the twilight streams?
Who can forget her sharp and misty mornings,
The clanging bells, the crunch of feet on snow,
Her sparkling noons, the crowding into Commons,
Her long white afternoons, her twilight glow?
See! By the light of many thousand sunsets Dartmouth Undying like a vision starts:
Dartmouth— the gleaming, dreaming walls of Dartmouth Miraculously budded in our hearts.

PREFACE
This is the report of the Class of 1930 twenty five years after graduation. The editor puts it into your hands with mixed emotions — with a sense of frustration marring the satisfaction that comes from the fact that the job is finally completed. There were times during the past six months when I wondered if the volume would actually be published. Now that the job is finished, I am aware of the great pleasure that preparing it has given me. As I have received your questionnaires, your pictures, and the notes and letters that often accompanied them (I regret that I could not reply to all of your welcome messages) I have been brought closer to the fine group of men who constitute our class. The material has brought memories of those happy Hanover days flooding back, and has made me more deeply aware of their significance — for me and for all of us. I hope that the finished book will do the same for you who are now receiving it.
But the book is also a disappointment to me. It is far from as complete and as accurate as I had hoped it would be when I undertook the editing job several years ago. This is due partly to my lack of time, partly to the failure of some classmates to give the questionnaire the full treatment or to respond to it at all. With more time available, I should have been able to follow up more cases of incomplete data and to go back again to individuals who failed to reply. Questionnaires were mailed to every living member of the class — there are 618 — except four, for whom the Alumni Office had no address.
With two complete follow-ups and considerable special correspondence, over 1600 pieces of mail were sent. As of May 1, after which no additional material could be used, 424 individuals — seventy per cent of those who had received the biographical question¬ naires — had returned them. This is considered to be a good response, but for a class like 1930, it should have been better. Data on 161 classmates who did not reply were provided by the Alumni Office. Of the anonymous questionnaires, 370 were received in time for inclusion in the tabulations. The number of lost classmates, based on mail returned, rose to 15, and 19 classmates apparently remain uninterested. So far as is known, 56 members of the class are dead.
There will be inaccuracies in the book. Some will be due to my interpretation of information on the questionnaires. It would have taken someone with considerable powers of clairvoyance, for example, to identify correctly all the military assignments and organizations listed only by initial. All efforts, incidentally, failed to identify the SPEBSTA, which appeared on one list of organizations! It would have taken a hand¬ writing expert to decipher correctly every bit of information on some of the question¬ naires. For the errors that did creep in, despite dictionaries, atlases, encyclopedias, crystal balls, and other aids, I ask your indulgence.
In some cases I also took the liberty of adding material, either from the 1940 book, from the Alumni Magazine and Fund Thirtyteer or from other sources, with the in¬ tention of presenting as complete an account as possible. Since about half of the ques¬ tionnaires listed undergraduate fraternity membership, for the sake of consistency I added this information in all cases in which it was available from the Aegis.
A word is in order concerning the pictures. The Executive Committee agreed with the editor that the book would be more interesting if it contained family pictures instead of formal individual photographs, although these would be included if sent. It
v
was indicated that any ordinary family snapshot would do. Judged by what was re¬ ceived, the quality of some of the amateur photography of the class of ’30 is pretty poor. The following note was probably typical: “We are not proud of this item, but it was the best we could do after several trials.” In a few cases, several snapshots had to be worked into a composite picture. In some cases, the request resulted in calling in a professional for a formal family portrait. The result is quite an unequal group of pictures. Their different sizes and shapes and their difference in quality (several en¬ gravings were done from pictures clipped from magazines) make for very uneven pages. But sixty-five per cent of those who returned questionnaires sent along pictures, and they add greatly to the interest and value of the book.
The above will give you an idea of how this yearbook came to be what it is, and
of some of the problems in putting it together. As I have indicated, I wish it were a
much more complete record of the six hundred ’30 men who have “stayed alive till ’55.” I trust, however, that it will bring you pleasure now, and over the years. I trust also that it will help you to evaluate your Dartmouth experience more understandingly, and, to get a little better perspective on various aspects of your life during the past twenty five years.
In conclusion, I want to express appreciation to a number of people who have helped to make this book possible. In making general plans for the book, I had the advice of the ’30 men in Hanover — Dickerson, Jeremiah, Keene, Lord, Odbert, and Widmayer. But the matter of distance from New York made it impossible for this group to work as a committee in preparing the book. Bob Keene later worked on the photographs, and the quality of some of the pictures in the book is much improved because of his helpful assistance. Charlie Widmayer was of great assistance in getting card files, address¬ es, pictures, etc., from the Alumni Office, and in having prepared the biographical data on classmates who did not complete the questionnaire, and on those who are deceased. Both Bob and Charlie made helpful suggestions as well, and the book is much better
as a result. In the end, the book was prepared by the editor with the assistance of cer¬
tain members of the staff of Pratt Institute, especially Hy Schmierer, Head of Pratt’s Testing Bureau, and Mary L. Wolfe, Head of the News Service. Professor Schmierer and his assistants helped prepare both the questionnaires, and tabulated and interpreted the extensive material from the anonymous questionnaires. Miss Wolfe did a good deal of the preliminary editorial work and acted as production assistant. I called upon many others at Pratt to assist in one way or another and they gave many hours of work to this project. I wish also to thank Professor William Longyear, for art and layout work in connection with the questionnaires and follow-ups; my secretary, Jeanne Genge, for handling the extensive correspondence involved; Charles Balek, the purchasing agent, for business arrangements; and Grace Roberts and Nadine Malherbe, who did a good deal of the typing. The drawings in the statistical section are the work of Curtis D. Lowey and Ralph A. Gustavsen, Pratt Art School seniors. Special thanks go to Lee Chilcote, who, through the Brewer Chilcote Paper Co., provided the paper for the book.
I he firm which printed the volume, the Grieco Printing Co. of Brooklyn, and its presi¬ dent, Joseph J. Grieco, provided unusual personal service, without which the volume could never have been published in time for distribution at Reunion. As always, the Alumni Office in Hanover, under Charlotte Ford, turned out everything requested in a remarkably short time.
And finally, I would be remiss if I did not thank my wife, Billie, not only for her considerable direct help on the book, but also for her patience in allowing me to shut myself in my study for every spare minute I had — and some I didn’t have — to work on it.

The above photograph of former President Ernest Martin Hopkins and President John Dickey appeared in the 1929 yearbook, along with the following from a letter of Mr. Hopkins, dated February 1, 1954, to Bill Andres, secretary-chairman of the Class of 1929. They are used with his permission as well as with that of the tzvo beloved Dartmouth presidents.
“The photograph ... is one of my favorites too. Desirous of a meeting with John ... to discuss the details of orderly transfer of office from one to the other I arranged reservations for both of us at the Malvern Hotel in Bar Harbor, of which at that time Chet Wescott, ’14, was proprietor and manager . . . He thought a picture ought to be taken of us for future reference and Charlie Widmayer had asked me to get one if possible, for the Alumni Magazine. On Sunday, the last day we were to be there, Chet with great difficulty persuaded a photographer to come up to the hotel. The only good light was on the back stoop, leading, as I remember it, from the kitchen. The photographer took one shot and then against the protests of Chet Wescott ancl myself folded up his camera and departed with the assertion that he had more to do on Sunday than take photographs, that he could do as well with one as with a dozen, and that he had brought only one plate, anyway. The query was implicit in his attitude, ‘Who do these guys think they are, anyhow?’ The light bad, the setting poor, the photographer grouchily casual, I had no slightest expectation of a photo¬ graph of slightest merit. I have always thought that its coming out so well was some sort of a happy augury.”

GREETINGS TO THE CLASS
Dear Fran:
Despite a determination to keep outside of college affairs, I find an invitation like yours to be represented in your quarter-century book too tempting to decline. Some¬ times I fear lest I may be getting to be in the same general category as the sour-visaged attendant at the wedding party who was asked if he had kissed the bride and replied, “Not recently/’
As a matter of fact, in a world changing as rapidly as is ours of today, it is enough to say of the College, as we can say, that it remains sensitive to changes about it, modify¬ ing its policies and processes to them to such extent as possible without sacrificing its commitments to the verities which constitute its reason for being. This I know Dart¬ mouth to be doing. But it is not easy to do and Dartmouth is fortunate in having men like your men in 1930 who have always understood and supported these policies under which the College ever advances and gains new distinction.
The unrestricted exposure of the minds of an intelligently selected student-body to conflicting opinions is still the greatest service that the College can offer to a society sadly lacking in men with a keen sense of perspective. That is the service it still offers as it offered it to your men of 1930. Only so can the liberal college withstand the pres¬ sures to transmute it from an educational institution into a brain-washing establishment. The injunction to go swimming by hanging our academic clothes on a hickory limb but not going near the water still has great appeal for some large segment of an un¬ thinking public.
A man of my own time in College, mildly critical, said to me recently, “Do you realize not one damned thing I was taught as fact in College is true today?”
“Where did you get the discriminating judgment to recognize that?” I asked him.
He thought a bit, then said, “All right. I’ll buy that,” and we dropped the subject.
Such is the essay for today of an elderly observer. I started this letter meaning to say that 1930 is a great class. It is. I meant to say that one of my cherished memories of the tough days of the late twenties is the friendship and support I always received from the men of your class. I do say this with deep sense of obligation. Above all else I intended to express my hope that this quarter-century celebration may be a very happy one for the class. This is my hope.
To every man in the class, whether it be he who works in a position of national distinction or he who quietly renders desirable service in his home community, my appreciative gratitude for the representation he gives the College he and I love.

As I know from having had the experience last year, the “twenty-fifth” is a wonderful and a moving occasion. It is a time when the class is beginning to reach its full influence both as a group and through the lives of its individual members. It is truly a time when the meaning of Dartmouth begins to come home to a man. It is fitting and good that at such a time the men of Dartmouth should come home together.
It is a time, too, when this interested observer, looking with a careful eye on the accomplishments of the Class of 1930 must admit that 1930 has overcome the severe handicap of having been preceded by the Class of 1929!
It is honest pleasure to greet you on your twenty-fifth.

THE CLASS OF 1930 AS AN ORGANIZATION
Alex J. McFarland
Born of diversification in so many respects, it is significant that the membership of the Class of 1930 welded itself into a smooth-functioning organization at an early stage in its history and has continued as such to date. It is a matter of fact, of which we take pride, that other Dartmouth classes have enviously looked to 1930 for the secret of our success as a well-organized and active class.
Our beginnings as a class were the 663 men who matriculated in the fall of 1926, —men with various backgrounds from all sections of this country and from thirteen foreign nations. The total membership of the class subsequently grew to 674. Notwith¬ standing that only 450 of this number became graduates of the College, the mark of “Thirtyman” has remained with each and every one of the 674 men who were at any time— and for no matter how short a period of time— officially listed in the Dartmouth records as affiliated with the Class of 1930. In none of our class activities, or offices, has any distinction ever been made between a graduate and a non-graduate.
In spite of its large constituency, the class demonstrated an early cohesiveness that soon marked it as a leader among our contemporaries. Our original class officers and Executive Committee members deserve special mention for their extraordinary efforts in producing a class consciousness and the first of our class accomplishments. The 165 men present at our Fifth Reunion in 1935 constituted a new record for reunioning Dartmouth classes. This achievement was commemorated by our presentation of the 1930 Cup to the College, which is awarded at every commencement to the class with the largest number of its members present at reunion. The class was one of the first to adopt the group subscription plan for the Alumni Magazine , as a result of which well over 500 men in the class have continued for many years to keep in close touch with the College and their classmates. In Alumni Fund activity the class has excelled. At an early point in our history we established a record for the largest number of gifts made by any class to the College, a mark that raised the sights of all larger classes for Alumni Fund participation. But our achievements have not been limited merely to numbers of contributors. The generosity of the class, together with its high degree cf participation, resulted in several Green Derby awards for 1930 (significant of Alumni Fund leadership within a group of ten contemporary classes), and when not a winner 1930 has always been a leading contender in these “pro-Dartmouth” competitions. The contribution by the Class of 1930 of $169,219.09 to the Alumni Fund alone, over a period of twenty-four years, is a record of which any class of any college may be more than proud.
The foregoing accomplishments as a class are attributable primarily to the respon¬ siveness of the individual members of the Class of 1930 and secondarily to the superla¬ tive efforts of our reunion chairmen, class treasurers, newsletter editors, and class agents. But a marked degree of credit for the continued success and cohesiveness of the class must be given to its Executive Committee, which has met frequently and seriously throughout these past twenty-five years. The individual members of that committee de¬ serve untold thanks for their untiring attention to the affairs of the class.

A PART OF WHAT DARTMOUTH MEANS TO ME
Henry S. Embree
Looks like an easy subject on which to write, doesn’t it? That’s what I thought when I started, so I wrote down a lot of guff, put it aside for a couple of days, and lack of them. I had tried to write in general terms and in an objective manner, without threw it away after re-reading it once. My second effort produced the same results, or really giving my own personal feelings, but it just won’t work that way.
In attempting to think this thing through objectively, I tried, among other things, to analyze the so-called “Dartmouth Spirit,’’ and I found I couldn’t because some alumni seem to have it almost to the point of religion, while others (fortunately a minority) don’t have it at all. Furthermore, with some it is a fluctuating thing which changes with the years, and there may be any number of conditions which cause this.
One thing is certain: there is a “Dartmouth Spirit,’’ and it is recognized with a degree of envy by the alumni of most other colleges. I am happy to be a part of it.
There is something in the environment of Dartmouth which generates place loyalty with us. Of course, there are the nostalgic memories of “sharp and misty mornings’’ and the “soft September sunsets,’’ of pleasant chats with profs who were “good guys,’’ of bull sessions in the dorms and the excitement of football week ends when you could look at the sunlit tapestry of Balch Hill one minute and “Special Delivery Al” going off tackle the next. These are a part of our feeling, and time has smoothed the rough edges caused by the growth of our maturity which took place while we were there.
In trying to assess the Dartmouth Spirit and what the college means to us, we may tend to overlook the educational aspects of our experience there. I feel hardly quali¬ fied to do more than mention it in passing, but it has always been my impression that our opportunities were above average and that we took reasonable advantage of them. And these opportunities are being maintained today, as a look at the product will readily prove. The young graduates I’ve met in recent years are a well developed, capable bunch of fellows, and they are holding their own in splendid manner.
When you get down to it, one of the prime ingredients of the Dartmouth Spirit is the fellowship of its undergraduates and alumni. Nearly every one of us has good friends with whom the relationship started because of a common interest in the College, and nowhere is this feeling as strong as in the class organizations.
The alumnus who is given an opportunity to work for his class is a very fortunate man, in my opinion. In the first place, he will renew the association with men he knew well in college, and from there he will inevitably form additional friendships with men that he did not know so well as an undergraduate. He will find this a source of infinite pleasure and enrichment in his life.
During the last three years I have been in close contact with an increasing number of our classmates, and it has been one of the pleasantest experiences in my life. I have met with an almost universal spirit of warm friendliness, and a constant hunger for first-hand knowledge of the doings of other classmates. Of course, there are exceptions to this, but they are, happily, few in the aggregate.
Now, as we approach our great 25th Reunion, I sense a unity in 1930 which is stronger in some ways than it has ever been before. It is not merely the product of sentiment, because, while some classes of about our vintage have it strongly, others ap¬ parently do not. I hope we can maintain our feeling of unity and build it more strong¬ ly, because I think it will serve to make us happier men and, therefore, better men. Let us dedicate ourselves to that proposition!

REUNIONS IN REVIEW: A RECAP
Charles E. Rauch
THE FIRST 5th
Way back in June of 1935, we returned for our first college reunion, the memo¬ rable Fifth. Costumed in white pants with green sweaters, inscribed with white “30” numerals, classmates assembled under the big top tucked behind Topliff Hall, the re¬ union hostel. Here, Narragansett ale was always on tap for the Thirtymen who assembled to chat between the week-end festivities, which included band concerts, shows, a banquet, picnic, and baseball game.
That Saturday morning ball game between 1930 and 1925 is still remembered by the throngs of spectators who watched the smooth-working ’30 team come through to victory. Later on Saturday morning at the alumni meeting the 165 reunioners were presented with our own 1930 Cup, an annual award made for the reunion class having the best attendance record.
Si Chandler, reunion chairman, certainly produced a bang-up weekend as Nelson Rockefeller’s recorded movies of that occasion continue to prove. That was also the year the new Christ Church was nearing completion, and the year that seventy per cent of the returning alumni voted the Orozco frescoes appropriate for a liberal arts college.
At the class meeting, the Executive Committee for the next five years was proposed and accepted. A1 Dickerson was unanimously chosen to continue as secretary, Carl Haffenreffer as treasurer, and Bob Bottome as class agent. A class constitution which had been printed was distributed at this time, and it was decided to wait until the “Tenth” to prepare a class biography, a task which was passed on to Hank Odbert and Charlie Widmayer.
Saturday night Thirtymen celebrated with a reunion banquet and on Sunday went to Carl Haffenreffer ’s grandfather’s estate at Canaan Street for a farewell picnic. Ball games, swimming, songs, and reminiscing brought to a close a wonderful Fifth Reunion.
THE PRE-WAR lOTH
June’s beautiful spring weather greeted the class and their families when they arrived to celebrate their Tenth Reunion in 1940. The two hundred Thirtymen and sixty-five wives who overflowed Topliff Hall and into Ripley, brought the attendance cup to 1930 for the second time.
Si Chandler served as the reunion chairman for the second time, and assisted by Dick Funkhouser and the rest of the committee, did a fine job. The giant tent near the northern end of the stadium, the impromptu glee club at the piano where Red Doherty played Dartmouth songs, and the bar where 1930 beer cups were too often re¬ plenished with Haffenreffer’s “rich, creamy, and mellow,” are unforgettable. Hank Embree should certainly receive some of the credit for the excellent turnout, since during the previous spring he had staged class cross-the-country dinners to stimulate interest in reunion plans, and headed the transportation committee to help people with “rides to Hanover.”
Ma Smalley had prepared a delicious buffet which was served under the tent on
7
Friday evening. Afterwards a two-mile relay bicycle race was staged around the track by four teams who “puffed, pedaled, and sprawled on the cinders.”
The Saturday morning baseball game and alumni parade had to be called off be¬ cause of rain, which was perhaps a good thing because those “In-jun” suits were far from “tub-fast.”
We who attended the Tenth Reunion will never forget these costumes which Si Chandler dreamt up— green fndian suits, scalloped with white fringe on arms and legs, and adorned by white belts and aprons. The costume even included a dress of green feathers. Sporting such glamour, A1 McGrath, class marshal, insisting “Indians” should be seen to be appreciated, staged a one-man parade down Main Street Saturday after¬ noon. Jerry Jeremiah maintains “the green dye hasn’t been scraped off my skin since the Tenth.”
Mrs. George Lord was in charge of the Ladies Committee in 1940. She arranged to have Mrs. Smalley serve luncheon in the tent for the wives on Saturday during the alumni luncheon in the gym, and on Saturday evening took them to Moose Mountain Lodge for dinner.
For all who remember, the Saturday night banquet in Commons was a raucous affair. Sam Adams, as usual, oversupplied the liquid refreshments, and Charlie Rauch, Chairman of the Entertainment Committee, and acting as master of ceremonies, kept things in an uproar. The college quartet sang Dartmouth songs and the highlight of the evening was the arrival of President Ffopkins, who spoke briefly.
After the banquet, there was a sort of business meeting at which the Nominating Committee, headed by Chairman A1 McGrath, submitted, we were told, a slate for the new Class Executive Committee. Those duly elected to serve for the next five years, we were advised in the class notes of the Alumni Magazine , were: Samuel A. Adams, Victor G. Borella, Josiah B. Chandler, Albert I. Dickerson, Henry S. Embree, G. Warren French, Carl W. Haffenreffer, Charles V. Raymond, Nelson A. Rockefeller, J. Frank Tragle, and William R. Jessup. When the new committee got together finally. Bud French was chosen to succeed A1 Dickerson as secretary and Hank Embree took Carl Haffenreffer’s place as treasurer.
On Sunday the class journeyed by car to the Haffenreffer farm at Canaan Street for the picnic. Here we all had a wonderful time wandering around the fields, playing ball, and swimming, before we said our farewells for another five years.
THE POST-WAR 15TH
Because of the war, the Fifteenth Reunion was held a year late. The week end of July 19-21, 1946, was the occasion when 130 men and about 60 wives staged their third get-together in Hanover. This time the official meeting place was a tent beside Hitch¬ cock, and Gile and Streeter served as dorm headquarters.
Si Chandler, reunion chairman, assisted by Jerry Jeremiah, was up to his usual form and had his classmates dressed up in white T shirts emblazoned with Dartmouth Indian heads and 1930 numerals in green. The headdress was a white baseball cap adorned with green numerals.
Friday night started off with the usual buffet. An accordion player supplied the music while cups were refilled with the good ale which flows at 1930 reunions. Later, the reunioning classes were honored at a reception given by President and Mrs. Dickey in their lovely garden. Afterwards many went on to the alumni dance in College Hall.

On Saturday morning. President Dickey and Nelson Rockefeller spoke at the Gen¬ eral Alumni Association meeting, at which the attendance trophy, the 1930 Cup, was awarded for the third successive time to the Class.
After the meeting the reunioning Thirtymen joined their families and headed for Canaan Street to enjoy another picnic at the Cardigan Mountain School for Boys, the former Haffenreffer farm. There was the usual softball game, starring A1 McGrath, Jerry Jeremiah, and A1 Marsters, and history records that Phil Peck was awarded first prize for the best-dressed man on the beach!
While the ladies dined at the Dartmouth Outing Club on Saturday night, the class dinner was held in the Thayer Hall cafeteria. Martinis were furnished by Hank Embree and, thanks to Sam Adams, there was plenty of champagne.
Nelson Rockefeller, as chairman of the Nominating Committee, proposed the fol¬ lowing names for the new Executive Committee and the following were unanimously elected: Bud French, Si Chandler, Alex McFarland, Carl Haffenreffer, Hank Embree, Fred Scribner, Jr., Collie Young, Joe Golan, Charlie Raymond, Lee Chilcote, and Pat Weaver. Thereafter, the Executive Committee chose Alex McFarland to be secretary- chairman, Charlie Raymond, treasurer, Bud French, chairman of the Memorial Fund, Si Chandler, chairman of Reunion Committee, and Jack Rich, class agent (making him an ex-officio member of the Executive Committee).
The highlight of the evening’s entertainment was Pat Weaver’s record, a special recording by Fred Allen and his “Allen’s Alley Gang” of a special Class of 1930 broad¬ cast. Movies of previous reunions and of the class as undergraduates brought the ban¬ quet to a close.
The reunion ended on a high note with an informal party at the big tent.
THE TERRIFIC 20TH
With many classmates back from far places and Dartmouth back to normal, 1930’s Twentieth Reunion was celebrated the week-end of June 17-19, 1949.
Under the policy of reunioning with college contemporaries, 1930 held its Twentieth one year ahead of schedule.
Charlie Rauch was chairman of the 1949 reunion committee, assisted by Harry Con¬ don, in charge of finances, Russ Sigler, costumes, and Chick Pooler, publicity. A local Hanover committee made up of Snub Poehler, Bob Keene, Charlie Widmayer, and Jerry Jeremiah helped with the arrangements.
Dorms in Fayerweather Row were made available for the 120 men, 79 wives, anci 30 children of the Class of 1930 who returned for this occasion. Two sizeable tents erected in the rear of Middle Fayer served as class headquarters.
Russ Sigler’s costumes for both the men and their wives was a white baseball cap with a green “D” above the visor. An optional addition for the men and children was a white T shirt imprinted with the likeness of an Indian who bore the inscription on the back of his loin cloth, “ ’28 and ’29 always behind.”
Carl Haffenreffer returned well supplied with “rich, creamy, and mellow” and Sam Adams produced the brandy and champagne once more. A1 Marsters presented all the ladies with sun glasses.
A roaming accordian player provided music at the buffet supper on Friday even¬ ing at the big tent. After supper everyone departed for President and Mrs. Dickey’s garden reception. Later there was a dance in Commons, but many classmates spent the rest of the evening visiting with old friends in the ’28 and ’29 tents as well as in their
10
own. Until the early hours of the morning, friendships were renewed, and talk and gaiety continued in the 1930 tent with music and song provided by Jean jaspersen and Wayne Van Leer on the piano and uke. Bernard of the Dartmouth Club of New York, who was making his first trip to Hanover, was in charge of the bar during the entire week end.
After the alumni luncheon and association meeting on Saturday there was a picnic at the Keenes in Etna, a delightful spot which we all admired greatly. Here the class held a brief business meeting at which time Charlie Raymond presented the treasurer’s report, Bud French spoke as chairman of the Class Memorial Fund, and Charlie Wid- mayer, as chairman of the Resolutions Committee, produced several resolutions which were unanimously adopted.
Vic Borella, as chairman of the Nominating Committee, submitted the new slate of officers for the Executive Committee. These men, unanimously elected, included: Lee Chilcote, Chuck Faye, Bud French, A1 McGrath, Alex McFarland, Charlie Rauch, Charlie Raymond, Jack Rich, Fred Uhleman, Scot VanDerbeck, and Charlie Widmayer. The new committee elected Alex McFarland as secretary-chairman, Charlie Raymond as treas¬ urer, Dick Bowlen as class agent. Bud French as Memorial Fund chairman, and Charlie Rauch as reunion chairman.
The class lottery, with Bud French in charge, was also held at the Keenes. Pat Weaver did a job “par excellence’’ as master of ceremonies with the result that a sub¬ stantial addition was made to the Memorial Fund.
Saturday evening was spent around the big tent or at the Dartmouth Players’ show in Webster Hall. After the Sunday memorial service at Rollins Chapel, farewells were voiced over a milk punch party back in the 1930 tent. Most of these farewells carried the refrain, “See you at our Twenty-Fifth.” Now the great day is here.

Public Affairs Officer, American Embassy, Box 2016, Balboa, Canal Zone ( Panama ) Residence: Golf Heights, Republic of Panama

In addition to his war service in Europe and his residence in the Netherlands and Panama, Harry’s travels include an air trip of 32,000 miles around the world in 1952. He concludes his questionnaire with this comment: “My con¬ cern that our way of life must continue to prevail, flourish, and prosper - and be under¬ stood and appreciated, ultimately perhaps the pattern may be adopted by peoples of other countries as well - is undoubtedly the ruling force in my life and my family’s. For this I am willing to serve in the forward line in the struggle to expose and nullify communism and any other isms that threaten to hinder the freedom and constructive progress of mankind. The principles so deeply imbedded in the College conscience and from which the Dart¬ mouth spirit has kept flowing have been an inspiration and fortifying element in this con¬ cern. Overriding all is the specter of oblivion; thus let no one miss the urgent need for us all to work for survival.’’
