Class Note 1945

Issue

Jan - Feb 2015

Reminder: 70th reunion September 25-27.


The foliage colors this year were glorious—brilliant yellow and gold with splashes of red, framed by dark evergreens. This fall scene reminded me of Burt Hicock’s answer to one of our survey questions, “What do you remember most about Dartmouth?” He replied, “fall colors.”


In September the College hosted a three-day Class Officers Weekend. The class of ’45 was represented by Vesta Smith, class president, and by me as newsletter editor. President Hanlon greeted the alums at a dinner on Friday night.


On Saturday morning there was a meeting of more than 30 newsletter editors. The editors of ’42 and ’45 made presentations to the group describing the survey, which had been sent out to our classes earlier this year. Those young folks were quite impressed with the results we reported—so thank you, responders!


Thank you also to ’45 wives Jan Johnson, Judy Pinney, Sylvia Reed, Arlene Samek and Peg Tirrell for their news-filled Green Cards. Their comments will be a great addition to our next Forty-Five Journal, which I plan to get out before year’s end.


And Rosalie expects to be back soon!
