1926
"The time has come," the Walrus said,"To speak of many things;"Of ships and shoes and sealing wax"And cabbages and kings."And now the time has also comeWhen each can do his part!A gift to the Alumni FundToday, will help us start.The '26 fund needs your help,The campaign's under way.Let's show Al Louer we can win!Just send that check— TODAY!
If you read last month's issue of the ALUMNI MAGAZINE (and we hope you did— we'd hate to think we only write these notes for our own secretary) you undoubtedly noted that 389 members of the class (88%) contributed a total of $11,622.99 to the 1949 Alumni Fund. If you were one of those 389, you took a small measure of pride in seeing your name among the list of contributors and you are going to make sure you'll see it there when the 1950 list is published. If you looked in vain for your name on that list, perhaps your pride was piqued! If so—don't let it happen again! There is absolutely no good reason why 1926 can't show 100% of contributors this year. As you all know, AlLouer was pretty disappointed in our showing last year and we promised him we would put the class on top this year. The College needs the help of each of us. Al and his committee give a lot of time and effort to the campaign. The least we can all do is contribute—the sooner the better, because then the committee will have more time to devote to the procrastinators. Send that check today if you haven't already done so.
The Barre (Vt.) Daily Times last month announced that Dr. and Mrs. Andrew J.(Swede) Oberlander were in Hanover the week-end of January 22, attending the three day semi-annual meeting of the Alumni Council and on Saturday evening entertained their sons, James and David, and their respective roommates from Dartmouth and Kimball Union Academy at dinner, followed by attendance at the Dartmouth-Penn basketball game. Swede and Madeline stayed at the Inn as did Nate Parker, who was also in Hanover that week-end for the Council meeting.
Other January visitors to Hanover were Don and Winifred MacKay and in February Don Hopkins and son Nat spent three days at the Inn. We can't seem to find out about any '26ers being on hand for Carnival, but maybe all of the class is getting to old for that sort of thing.
ALUMNI FUND-TODAY
By way of Sid Hayward comes some information from one Charles L. (Charlie)Munson, the eminent surgeon of Wilmington, Del., about whom we have wondered for a long time. Charlie (or Munse, as we old Crosbyites used to call him), with his wife Florence and two children, Suzanne, aged 15, and Charles Jr., aged 11, lives at 1900 Greenhill Avenue in Wilmington, where he still practices surgery. He was president of his county Medical Society in 1949. Munse says he sees his old roommate, City Judge Tom Herlihy, frequently, and we hope these meetings find both of them on the same side of the bar. Munse visited Florida twice last year, once on a vacation and the second time to recuperate from an attack of pneumonia. He says that not long ago he gave Carl Allen a ride from S. Casco to Portland, Me., and had a nice visit with him. That trip certainly was not on the way to or from Florida. Among other '26ers he has seen are Ed Steele, the Wilmington barrister, and Frank Knowles, the Chambers Works Manager of DuPont.
Edward. (Ed) Cole is co-author with Harold Burris-Meyer of Theaters and Auditoriums which has recently been published by Reinhold & Co. Ed and his wife Alice are the proud parents of Ann, aged 17, and James, aged 11, and live at 29 Myra Road in Hamden, Conn. Ed is Associate Professor of Drama at Yale and Production Manager of the Yale University Theatre.

Dr. Gordon Opdyke of 52 Claremont Ave., Verona, N. J., reports that his medical practice is thriving, but that he is now engaged in construction of a new home at 61 Sunset Ave., in Verona, which he expects to occupy after May 1. Gord is the proud papa of four children and maybe he and Janis need more room for that sizable family right now.
A recent article from the Boston Globe extols the accomplishments of Henry Blake and his Boston News Clip Agency. Henry is now one of the most enthusiastic employers of handicapped persons in Boston and has a trained staff of over 20 girls busily engaged in marking, clipping, cutting, pasting, filing and mailing items to clients all over the world. According to the columnist, Henry is well on his way to success and an early retirement from the mundane tedium of work!
ALUMNI FUND-TODAY!
Start planning now for that 25th reunion in June, 1951—and for a rehearsal—how about the August get-together in Hanover this summer?
Al Louer will expect to see a contribution to the Fund from everybody before April 30. Let's not let Al and the class down this year.
So long for now!
