Class Note 1945
Issue
Jan - Feb 2016
Our 70th reunion is a happy memory. It was a perfect sunny, blue sky fall weekend with not quite “frosty mornings” but close. Classmates Peter Beck, Fred Berthold, Harry Bissell, John Bressler, Bob Bull, James Fannon, Dick Gilman, Paul Glover, Harry Hampton, Peter Heneage, Harris Hinckley, Tim Lewis, Roger Masters, John Shannon, Bud Street and Bill Swartzbaugh plus wives, widows, daughters, sons and friends celebrated in grand style. We missed every one of you unable to attend.
There were several activities planned, led off by a panel discussion with members of the Hill Winds Society, Dartmouth’s student ambassador group. Saturday morning we attended a fascinating lecture with Lorie Loeb, executive director of Dartmouth’s Digital Arts Leadership and Innovation Lab, on “Design and Technology that Changes Lives and Improves Communications.” This is a new lab at Dartmouth, where small teams of undergraduates work on big problems surrounding the issues of information overload: How can information be presented in a way that can change behavior, motivate new understanding, affect the bottom line and create impact?
Saturday afternoon the bus tour of the campus allowed us to view the many changes since our 65th reunion five years ago. A Hood Museum tour, led by Katherine Hart, senior curator of collections and Barbara C. and Harvey P. Hood 1918 Curator of Academic Programming, featured the Stahl Collection; prints, drawings and ceramics that were generously donated to the museum by the children of the original collectors, the late Barbara and David Stahl ’47. A cornerstone of the collection is George Rouault’s series of eight aquatints titled The Circus (Le Cirque), 1930.
Our final night we were serenaded by the Dartmouth Aires at dinner, then those interested left for the stadium to watch the football team roundly defeat Sacred Heart, while the rest of us watched on the large screen television in the grand ballroom until we were convinced of a victory.
Sunday morning our 1945 memorial service was held, honoring those who have died in the past five years. We then departed Hanover with warm thoughts of all our classmates.
Sadly I report the death of Charles A. Cleveland and send our condolences to the family.
