CLASS OF 1916
April 1918 Richard Parkhwrst

Freddy Frederiksen has been elected alumni representative of the Outing Club.

Jim Colton made port from France a short time ago.

On January 26, 1918, Miss Sarah Lapham, of Cohasset, Mass., was married to Lieut. C. B. Gammons. Charlie is up at Camp Devens, in the 301st Machine Gun Battalion.

The secretary has recently received a copy of the Alumni Fund and Dartmouth War Fund Report, prepared by the Council of the Alumni, and hopes that it has; come to the hand of every other 1916 man. Read it over, think it over, and then act—for the Class and for Dartmouth. Johnny Gile is the Class Agent. Nuff ced.

Lieut. Ed. Craver says he is flying on every possible day, down at Kelly Field, San Antonio. He claims it's a hard life, but that he's kept his good looks so far.

Cap Carey writes from Milwaukee that he's expecting a transfer to the Boston office of Travelers Insurance Company this coming summer, and that he is looking forward to seeing all the boys again.

Howard Buffinton sends in the following dope: Red Kimball is a sergeant in the Medical Enlisted Reserve Corps, his address being care M.E.R.C., A.E.F., office of Chief Surgeon and Lines of Communication, France.

"Pluto" Wethey can be reached care S.S.U. 631, Convois Autos, Par 8.C.M., Paris. John Stearns' address is S.S.U., 523, Convois Autos, Par 8.C.M., Paris. Address Ken Ross at Camp Devens, D Company, 25th Engineers.

The big banquet and "camp-fire" of the Boston Alumni Association packed Symphony Hall to the doors. It was a great evening, all around. Sitting together, counting themselves lucky to be on hand, were representatives of that Great Class in the persons of Messrs. Cliff Bean, Ken Tucker (ask 'em why they kept such close watch on the gallery), Don Fuller, Ernie Cutler, John McAuliife, Ted Walker, Andy McClary, and Dick Parkhurst. A feature of George Clark's talk on "Dartmouth Past and Present" was the flashing on the screen of a photograph of John Ames' War Department Traveling Expense check, given by him to the Dartmouth War Fund, as he was leaving for France.

"Turk" Murphy, after an adventurous couple of years in Mexico, during which time he was attached to the forces of both Villa and Carranza, has returned to this country, secured his commission as a lieutenant of aviation, and set out for Egypt.

Boys, all the above just goes to show that our outfit is up and traveling all the time. No trumpet blowing, but steaming ahead just the same. One hundred and three men in the service—how's that? Leigh Rogers in Petrograd, Reg Chutter in the Argentine, Eskie, Winters, McClure, Marble, and Hap Ward in China, Russ and Leslie Leavitt somewhere in the Near East—how are those for outposts? The spirit behind John Ames' gift to the War Fund—know anything finer than that? Everybody plugging and everybody pulling together—isn't it good stuff? Were "right up in there." Let's stick.

Secretary, Richard Parkhurst, Pier 72, East River, New York
