CLASS OF 1916
Hobart Wendell (Pewee) Marble and Mrs. Dallea Alexandrovna Antonova were married in Shanghai, China, February 23, 1921.
From Jess Fenno, on board the Union-Castle Liner "Norman": "If all goes well, I shall be in Boston the first half of May. Give my best to the boys, and .try to get Pinky and Don and our old gang lined up for a dinner together some night. By the way, Townsend '16 is on the 'Norman'. He has been in the consular service for the past few years."
According to the report on the ALUMNI MAGAZINE, presented at the last meeting of the Secretaries Association, seventy-five Six-teeners now subscribe, an increase of six over the previous year. That puts us fifth in numbers of the list of classes, 1920, 1910, 1919, and 1918 beating us to the post in the order named. How's to pull up a bit?
Pete Soutar is now with the Mexico Arizona Trading Company, with headquarters at Los Mochis, Sinaloa. Pete maintains that the big idea in his outfit is to ship tomatoes and other farm products to the markets in the States. He says he'll make the Fifth if it is in any way possible.

From one P. C. Burnham of Manhattan and thereabouts: "I read recently in the 1916 column of the ALUMNI MAGAZINE an article in which the attention of Gothamites was called to the fact that twenty-two men of the class were present at the banquet of the Boston alumni. This is quite a pretty showing for Boston—really quite commendable, but nothing sufficiently startling, as I see it, to break into print over. You may have heard that the New York alumni gathered together a few evenings ago at a little informal supper party, and that a number in excess of four hundred were present. But in the light of your news item you probably did not hear and will be surprised to learn that twenty-seven of the class of 1916 made themselves very much in evidence. If you people up there want a mark to shoot at, here it is. We offer it to you with the warning that it will probably jump from twenty-seven to forty-seven before you can rally your fellow-towners in defense of Boston's prestige as a Dartmouth stronghold. The following men were present: Freddy Smith, Olin Smith, Doenecke, Biel, Ames, Chutter, Gough, DeVoe, Doyle, Butler, Beans Sully, Burnham, Streeter, Goldman, Coburn, Spelke, Conley, Mack, Geran, Banton, Morey, Stamatiates, Pettengill, Gove, Jones, -Les Leavitt and Wilson. We are holding meetings of the class approximately every three weeks at supper, and if you know of any men visiting or coming permanently to New York, I wish you would tell them to get in touch with me either at Gramercy 7090 during the day or at Flatbush 5047 during the. evening." We appreciate your invitation, Perc, and derive, shall we say, mental stimulus from your comeback. But give us credit for having had twenty-five men at the Boston dinner, and not twenty-two. Chicago got anything to say about '16's being on the map out there?
Secretary, Richard Parkhurst, Winchester, Mass.
