CLASS OF 1900

We understand that Judge Prescott of Milford is the head of the Knights of Birmingham. There are only one or two lodges in New Hampshire. The question was raised at the meeting of the executive committee as to whether any mention should be made of Ben's connection with this organization. The member raising this point said that he understood this was a colored organization. However, some of the members of the class who are quite well advanced in Masonry say that it is allied to that order. If any member of the class desires a more elaborate explanation we would suggest that he write Judge Prescott.

Harry Fairfield is taking a much needed rest at the Attleboro Springs Sanitarium. Harry has had a pretty strenuous time during the past ten years, and we are all glad that Harry recognizes the old adage, "A stitch in time saves nine." He will be back on the job soon.

The first issue of Antiques, published by the old concern, Atwood and Keyes, met with a very favorable response. The subscription list is increasing rapidly, and it is admitted that this is a unique publication in its field. If any member of the class wishes to be put on the mailing list, he has only to write to Chelse and if his credit is good or he will pay in advance he can get issues regularly. It is not to be presumed that any one who feels that money has been extorted from him by Chelse in the past can send in his name and get the publication free. There are no such loop-holes in Chelse's armor.

A visitor has just returned from Los Angeles, and reports that Vic Salinger occupies a very palatial residence in that city, surrounded by gigantic palm trees. His automobiles are at the disposal of any one wishing to cover Southern California. They report of Vic personally that he is more rotund and more vivacious than ever before. It seems a wonderful chance for every one to see both California and Vic.

We wonder if the class realizes that old Bart is not only an instructor in mathematics in the University of Minnesota, but a golf architect of no mean proportion. He has laid out several courses, and has wondered whether it is best to stick to mathematics or confine his efforts to applying this knowledge to improving the facilities for giving way to the business man's pastime. Perhaps Bart could be induced to take a sabbatical year in Hanover and help develop the new country club.

It takes more than twenty years to discover how many geniuses we have in the class. We all know that Guy Ham is an accomplished orator, that Chelse Atwood makes it difficult for any race to earn a living in Vermont, but you will be surprised to know that Charlie Dolloff is a harmonica artist. His reputation extends beyond the institution which he runs. He gives private recitals, which are considered one of the musical events of Concord, and yet this great talent has been unknown to the class for twenty years.

Mr. and Mrs. Joseph W. Manion are spending the winter in Gardner, Mass., in fact they have taken up permanent residence in that city. Mrs. Manion has already been to Hanover, so do not be surprised if Joe appears accompanied at the next reunion.

Did you read L. B. Richardson's article in one of the recent issues of the ALUMNI MAGAINE?

"Shadder" Show is doing"newspaper work in Willimantic, Conn. Owing to a misunderstanding his boy did not enter Dartmouth last fall.

The 1900 family is certainly growing. Elizabeth Lord Condit appeared on the 28th of December. Some girl, Day reports, although she weighed only six pounds.

Our worthy president visited Manchester, N. H., and brought the latest news from the Buck family. Mary French Buck was born June 25, 1921. Burton states that this little one was born at the Quincy (Mass.) hospital, and is the prize child since the founding of this institution ten years ago. Since the date of her birth, neither Mr. nor Mrs. Buck have seen any other child which matches her. He reports that she reads the Saturday Evening Post from cover to cover, and is already well posted on insurance rates in the 200 leading companies. There is evidently going to be some rivalry for Vic Salinger and Don Tuttle.

Secretary, Natt JV. Emerson, 10 State St., Boston
