A WORD FROM THE COMPOSING ROOM When I said ltyesi, to Class President Bob Mc- i Laughry as he persuaded me to take on this assign- ment, I thought I might be losing both my mind and a friend. It has turned out otherwise . . . In these wavering days, with traditions falling, it has been fun being a ballast on something as old-fash- ioned as a Dartmouth 25-Year Reunion Book. By God, there is treasure in many things past, especially a friends and associations, and this Book is an un- ashamed agent for tieing and perpetuating a group of men who shared a common experienceaDartmouth College. There is something about Dartmouth and place, and it has been a source of high satisfaction to have been the recorder for so many of you and this relation to the Hanover Hills. As you browse, may you find certain bonds yet more firm and others re- awakened. Li. a, .. A ,t The ttbefore and afterii format portrays the entire Class as it was in 1940 tplus the inclusion of a few t transfers laterl and then shows us how we look today. a i Greenbook pictures were used rather than those from i the AEGIS simply because there were so few in our i splintered class around at AEGIS time. i I ask forbearance for mistakes and omissions, tttyposii and wrong information. This was an office scorner and dining-room table operation, not a com- puter one. Scores of entries had to be edited: the l ttessayit was designed to be an integral part of every manis biography, but when we came to the hard facts 1 iof space and lay-out, unilateral decisions were made i ton length, depending upon how you gcame outh on i the page. And the time factor was crucial: the printer 1 was bellowing in Buffalo . . . :1: :1: :1: a This whole enterprise would not have been anything lwithout the help of scores of people whose ranks go '; tbeyond naming. I donit hold much for records in this sort of thing, but 459 of you sent in biographies and pictures, more by a good margin than in any previous class. tWe had to turn to the Alumni Records Office -AROafor information on 199 classmatesl. And 370 of you took the time to fill out and send in the longer, anonymous questionnaire. You sent in so many extra snapshots that the book had to be increased in length by more than 20 pages. Legions of you an- swered the plea to telephone or write to men in your areas tspecial mention must go to Ezz Hale in Rochester and Ted Mortimer in New Mexicol, and a number of wives took on the writing assignment for their husbands. I repeat: my collective appreciation. On the Hanover front, a new assistant, Mrs. Polly Greene, must have wondered whether she had been hired by the College or the Class of 1944. She took dictation, typed, telephoned, catalogued and researched for more weeks than either of us care to remember. Without her this Book would have come out of a mimeograph machine. An accolade, too, to my sec- retary, Mrs. Audrey Armstrong, for reams of typing. Other large thanks go to Nancy Elliott and her ARO stalI, not only for the records they keep but for the special assistance they rendered; to Leslie Winship and Ruth Gordon for the late hours and long week- ends they labored going through the ARC folders of those who didnlt respond; to Adrian Bouchard and Ann Scotford, of the College photo staff, for coming up with old photographs; to Josh Hill ,56, the College Editor, for layout ideas and his slide-rule; to Bob Gray i43, last yearis editor, for correspondence and advice; to certain ,42ts whose book this was patterned after; to Dennis Dinan i61, in the Secretaryis Ofiice, and Bob Sokol of the Sociology Department, for so much relative to the Class Questionnaire; to John Tanzi, the champion envelopeestulfer north of the South Pole; and finally to Ros Farnham, the Keller Yearbook Company representative in New England, whoidrove miles and hard bargains on deadlines, and with whom I should probably set up housekeeping if our respective wives ever go through with threats to leave us for desertion. A final folder reveals these random notes: tiWafflesii Duffy was the first one to send in his biography and photograph way last November; I wonit mention who was last. Hi: I have no accurate count of grandchil- dren, but Carroll Holman seems to come home hrst with four. Other grandfathers include Johnny Morse, Alex Bensinger, Chuck Farley, Bob Peterson and Frank Behrle. Wit Warren Sullivan is the only one I know in the Class to father triplets. End of random 11 otes . :i: :1: :1: Thatis it. I hope you will have as much fun with this Book as I have. I think youill Iind the tug of nostalgia and, I hope, an accompanying push to get you back to Hanover in June of our 25thaa time for us and .for Dartmouth as it celebrates its 200th birth- day. It couldnit happen to a nicer Class or College. Fritz Hier 44 Editor
