CLASS OF 1911

The Secretary regrets that he is not able to publish more news concerning members of the class, but again wishes to remind the class that such a thing is possible only when the members of the class let him know that things have happened.

Ed Chamberlain has quit making butcher knives and guns with the Winchester Company in order to sell adding machines for the Burroughs Company in Boston. His home address is 239 Gray St., Arlington, Mass.

Announcement: Edwin Hawkridge, weight seven pounds; date July 18; parents Leslie D. Hawkridge and wife of Brookline, Mass.

Ken Clark also boasts of the arrival of Marshall Clark on July 17.

Special notice for Ted Stafford. Information has been received from Orlando, Florida, that Don Cheney is now judge of the Juvenile Court of Orange County, and that he is now judge by name and deed, whereas Ted is judge by courtesy only.

Josh Clark writes that he has left his Lexington home for the greater aristocracy of Beacon Street, and that he now resides at No. 213 on that noble street in Brookline.

Ray Taylor and Josh Clark seem to think that a thirteen-iiich trout caught in the wilds of Maine is quite some fish. Before they talk any more, however, they should try the waters of Hanover, so that they might have real cause for boasting.

On September 2, the body of Charlie Ayer was laid at rest in Claremont, N. H Ben Ayers represented 1911 at the funeral.' Dick Paul sent the following telegram to Mrs. Ayer:

"Benjamin K. Ayers of Concord and Dartmouth nineteen eleven will represent the class at funeral of our classmate and will be in Claremont Friday morninoDeeply regret my inability to be presenthe sympathy of Charlie's friends and classmates has always been yours, and is doubly so now, but we share with you the pride one feels that one of our own could make the great heroic and noble sacrifice so bravely."

The following reply was received from Mrs Ayer:

I wish to thank you and the Dartmouth class of 1911 for all the kindness you have shown me since the loss of my son. Private Charles H. Ayer, but especially do I thank you and the class for the beautiful token of your sympathy in sending the floral piece and in Mr. Benj. Ayers' representing Charlie's class. I cannot tell you what a consolation both were to me. I cannot express in words or writing the thanks I, feel, but I am sure you will understand."

Cap Hedges in faraway Cedar Rapids is still upholding the glory of 1911, as is testified to by a clipping from a Cedar Rapids paper. Funny how Spunk Troy always happens around on these occasions : "Perfect September weather, cool and bright, make outdoor activities the order for Labor Day recreation in Cedar Rapids society. Picnics and motor trips into the country are popular with many, while others are participating in the golf contests at the Country clubs. At the Cedar Rapids Country Club, open house is being held during the day, with a special dinner dance as the attraction of the evening. There are many dinner parties, the largest of which is that given by Mr. and Mrs. Horace Hedges in honor of their Labor Day guests, Mr. and Mrs. Warren Agry of Evanston, Ill., Mr. and Mrs. Edwin R. Keeler of Winnetka, HI., Mr. and Mrs. R. T. R. Hastings of Highland Park, Ill., Mac Rollins and his mother of Chicago, and John J. Troy of Los Angeles The guests motored out from Chicago to attend a house party being given by Mr. and Mrs Hedges in their home at 825 Seventeenth St. The men of the party were graduated from Dartmouth in the class of 1911 which was Mr Hedges' class."

I am sure the class will be very sorry to learn of the death, of Harry Bicknell's wife, Dorothy Webb Bicknell, at their home in Oak Park, Ill, on Labor Day.

A letter from Hugh Kenworthy states that he and his sisters arrived in Costesville after reunion with the same air in the tires with which they left their native town. How foolish, when people come from miles around for Hanover air, not to have taken some back with them

Our classmate, Lin-Yi Ho of China, is visiting in this country for a few weeks, having arrived in San Francisco on September 3 with a party of Chinese students whom he brought to America for entrance into American colleges. Ho is now secretary of TsingHua College of Peking, Chira, which is a college founded on the. Boxer indemnity for the training of students in America. Ho said that Hanover looked like hone to him, and expressed his regret at being unable to attend the Tenth of which he has heard so much, but that he is planning his next trip to America so that he will be here in June, 1926, for our Fifteenth.

Announcement is made of the marriage on June 14 of Miss Elsie Cromwell Comstock, the daughter of Mrs. Albert Comstock of Montclair, N. J., and the Rev. Gabriel Farrell, Jr. I think most of us remember seeing Gabe and his bride at reunion.

Except for our representative from Boston, Frank Dodge has it on most of us when it comes to hobnobbing with royalty. Frank entertained President Harding's party for the week this summer while President Harding was visiting Mr. Weeks in Lancaster. The President and his friends played on Frank's tricky golf course and later held an informal reception. Frank says the President is very delightful and that Mrs. Harding was very charming.

It seems that selling paper drinking-cups in Cuba was too much for Johnny Mullen, since he has given up that delightful pastime and lias joined the firm of Cass and Daley, to which place Jim Malley also transferred his affections recently. Their address is 36 Lincoln St., Boston.

Harold S. Winship has resigned the pastorate of the Congregational church at Deep River, Conn., to become associate pastor of Center church in Torrington, Conn., in special charge of the educational work of the church.

Jim Kerley at last comes to light with a report on Rita Marie, two years, and Jas. J. Kerley, Jr., nine months. Jim is field engineer in charge of construction for the General Electric Company, located at Erie, Pa. His home address is 4004 Morse St., St. Lawrence Park, Erie, Pa.
