Class Note 1942
Here we are living through what seems like the longest winter in history. Snow 60 inches here in New York. Cold that just won’t go away. The groundhog promised an early spring. So much for that tradition.
Does it seem possible that Winter Carnival had its 100th anniversary? Our classmate Jake Nunnemacher, captain of the ski team, led the Carnival in February of 1942 only to be killed in action in WW II. You will read about him in our WW II memoir book. The students went all out with a snow sculpture contest and a castle on the Green inspired by a sculpture created in 1929.
Four Dartmouth alumni were sworn into the 112th Congress, that makes six total. And, including those six, 170 Dartmouth alumni have served in Congress since its founding.
Our Dartmouth alum Molly Bode ’09 was responsible for 51 medical professionals and 40 tons of medical supplies being sent to Haiti in the past year.
More than 21,000 students applied for the class of 2015!
Our WW II memoir book is marching along to the finish line with the help of some of our classmates and younger class alums. In March the book went to the editors and in April to the printer.
I am sorry to report we have lost three more classmates—Herbert Dietrich, Arthur Stuckey and Walter Elcock.
I am still looking for a volunteer secretary to write these Notes and the obituaries for the Internet. In the meantime send me your news, whom you have seen, etc. I do the hard part.
