Jack Norton is production superintendent of the Goodyear India Rubber Glove Manufacturing Company and the Goodyear Metallic Rubber Shoe Company of Naugatuck. Conn. Jack was married on October 8, 1919, to Miss Isabel Halloway, of Williamsport, Pa.

Mac Kendall wrote last month that his status in life was the same, but now sends in a flier that he has been appointed chief train dispatcher of the Dakota Division, Huron: S. D.

The following appeared in the New York society column recently: "Mr. and Mrs. Edward H. Callaway of Washington have announced the engagement of their daughter Miss Emilie to Dr. Westley M. Hunt of this city. Miss Callaway was graduated from Wellesley College, while Dr. Hunt was graduated from Dartmouth." "Wes" is having wonderful success extracting tonsils. He has made a specialty in this line. Your Secretary can recommend him.

To Easty and better half on Washington's Birthday a daughter, Marie Barbara. Easty had his shackles all set for a football player, but the third girl is very welcome. It's economy to raise all of one kind nowadays, so down comes the old trunk out of the attic. Dish washers also come in handy around the house. It gives the boss more time to look after 1910 correspondence.

Wilkinson writes from Nogales, Arizona: "I came down here just after the year began, to accept a position as engineer under the Construction Quartermaster at Camp Stephen P. Little. The post is one of the units in the Mexican Border Project, and at present houses a regiment of infantry and a couple of troops of cavalry, with the incidental auxiliary troops. They are doing quite a lot of permanent construction in the way of barracks and quarters for officers and non-coms, as well as warehouses and a railroad to serve the latter. I am doing the surveying incidental to the construction of the buildings, the railroad, and the sewer and water supply lines of the camp, and also am due to make a complete survey and map of the camp for the records of the War Department."

Pip Cowan is still with Marshall Wells Hardware Company, Eau Claire, Wis.

Mike Elliott is teaching in the department of psychology at the University of Minnesota.

Noah Foss is teaching at the Blake School in Minneapolis, Minn.

Ken Phelps is practicing medicine in Minneapolis.

Harold Winchester is practicing medicine in Hazelton, N. D., and is reported as having successfully driven every "flu" germ out of N. D.

Jim Ingalls has sidetracked his T. S. course, like a lot of others of us, an.d is managing the business of his father, J. F. Ingalls, Inc., started in 1878. Jim was recently called from the engineering field by the death of his father, to take up the work. Jim didn't know much about the embroidery business, but he says he likes it. He says it's great stuff, once you like it. Jim reports his second offspring, a James Warren, Jr., born July 31, 1919.

Art Lord is teaching in Lynn Classical High School.

Steve Stephens is assistant superintendent of schools at Lynn, Mass.

Ned Loveland is county agent in charge of dairy work around Burlington, Vt. Ned says it's work we tenners would all like, but we don't know it.

"Happy" Hinman still hangs out in Montpelier, Vt. Jim Ingalls says he ate dinner with him several times last summer, but he fails to tell at whose expense.

Ben Williams refuses to divulge the secrets of his success as a magazine writer. When asked how he does it, he replied: "My business is just like any other business, and there's nothing particularly interesting about it. Most people have a notion that writing stories is a matter of lying in a hammock and waiting for the prod of an idea. But it isn't. It's just a case of going to your office every day and plugging at it, just as you plug at the linseed oil business. Write up your own business methods, Easty, they will be a damn sight more interesting than mine." Ben admits that he has stories coming out in the Saturday Evening Post, Collier's and Red Book. This is an advance notice. Keep your eyes open, tenners, and read some good stuff. Ben says, "There ain't no tenner news—'cept June is coming."

H. O. Mills is sales manager for the Bushway Ice Cream Company, Somerville, Mass This means he is working for a tenner, and should be well cared for.

Has the class constitution been lost or stolen? Who remembers the document well enough to settle a probable legal tangle between Nay and Bushway? Bushway claims title to the honor. His argument follows:

"Talking* about the class baby, my oldest daughter, Viva Cynthia, was born July 22, 1908. I think lam entitled to the first youngster to be credited to any Dartmouth man entering college in the year 1906. Awaiting a suitable reward."

Bert Kent has decided to desert the "Old Guard", and is now in the near benedict class, having announced his engagement to Miss Hazel Clark of Winthrop, Mass. The honeymoon will take in the tenner reunion. Bert was recently made sales manager of the Eastern Paper Makers Chemical Company, and is kept busy finding a market for the company's output of five plants. His headquarters are in Holyoke, Mass. Bert is very enthusiastic about the reunion, and wants to help put it over.

Percy Nourse is with the Conroy Motor Company (Jimmy Conroy, 1911) of Worcester, his specific duties being to sell flivvers. We fully expect to see every property owner in Worcester owning a flivver before June, but hope Perce will save his demonstrating car to run up to the reunion.

Fielder Jones still has his anchor with McElwain, Hutchinson, and Winch, 590 Atlantic Ave., Boston, manufacturing wholesalers of boots, shoes, and rubbers. Fielder is showing a lot of interest in the reunion, and says it's going to be a "hum dinger."

Earle Pierce is salesman for Pfister and Vogel, a Milwaukee concern, and one of the largest tanners in this country. Earle covers territory around Boston, and is right handy for the big doings. Leave it to Earle to root for 1910.

On January 6, forty Boston members of the class held an informal dinner and meeting to discuss plans for the reunion. It was decided at this meeting to appoint a publicity committee of two men. Earle Pierce and Fielder Jones were chosen. These men were instructed to try to use personal touch rather than form letters and stereotyped correspondence to arouse interest. The plan outlined is for them to get into touch with thirty-four team captains, each captain to take, according to the locality he happens to be in and the distribution of the men on his team, from six to twenty men that he will get personally in touch with and report on. ,It was unanimously decided that when the two members of the publicity committee should feel the necessity they should draft five other men to form the reunion committee, these five men to take care of headquarters, uniforms, finances, entertainment, transportation, and refreshments, exclusive of booze. It was unanimously decided that as a class the reunion should be "dry." Each team captain is asked to write to every man on his team, or telephone to him, and get for the publicity committee, first, a correct address, and second, an expression of intention with regard to the reunion. A special invitation is extended to "out of town" tenners and estranged members of the class to attend the regular weekly luncheon, Tuesday at one o'clock, at Marston's Brattle St. restaurant. Luncheon is served upstairs, where a private table is reserved for tenners. Some hot dope passes over the stew, and rumor has it that every tenner emerges from the doorway with the latest tenner salute, "I'll see you in Hanover next June."

Russ Palmer has been sent to Grand Rapids. Mich., for a probable two months' stay, to write up the happenings at the Newberry trial.

John Ferguson's latest address is Wellington Hotel, 1450 Grant St., Denver, Colo.

Acting Secretary, Whitney H. Eastman, Box 464, Milwaukee, Wis.
