CLASS OF 1916
On Saturday night, April 22, the Knights of Balmacaan, New England Brotherhood, gathered in conclave at the Copley Square Hotel, Boston. Thirty-seven men were in attendance, including the local regulars : Ben Moxon from Concord, N. H.; Ralph Parker from Milford; "Art" Fiske from South Royalston; John Monahan and "Don" Cobban from Lowell; "Larry" Hayward from New Haven, and Ralph George and "Gene" McQuesten from the shrine at Lake Morey. Plans were discussed for the Harvard game in the fall and the next big reunion, and brief reports were read on the Memorial Field, Alumni Fund, and latest "goings on" in Hanover. Excepting the fact that "Burt" Phinney stopped a few hardshelled biscuits while telephoning, there were no casualties. A varied but otherwise unobnoxious musical program was offered by "Burt" Phinney, "Tog" Upham, Bill Mott, and accompanying chorus. The association is planning to hold its next get-together on the night before the game, October 27, 1922.
The regular 1916 weekly luncheons are now being held in the rooms of the Dartmouth Club, Hotel Bellevue, Boston, on Wednesdays at 12.30 p. m. Attendance on May 3 of fifteen men, but increasing weekly. Come up and get acquainted.
"Hank" Blaney. writes in from Seattle that be is building a "home in the West," and occasionally runs across Harry Elms and "Chuck" Ingram.
On the way back from the annual meeting of secretaries in Hanover ran across "Mase" Huse in "the June." "Mase" is a bank examiner for Vermont.
John F. Gile, M.D., is assisting his father in surgery at the Mary Hitchcock Hospital, and carrying on a regular practice in Hanover and environs.
"Dick" Parkhurst, J. Gile, and "Gene" McQuesten, who were in attendance upon our latest groom, "Don" Fuller, report that all went well at the ceremony and reception following. After a trip to Washington the "honeymooners" headed north for the Mecca of all Dartmouth bridal couples, our little old town of Hanover.
Understand from reliable sources that "Gil" Tapley has not yet developed writer's cramp from acknowledging contributions to the Alumni Fund. The issue is squarely up to every man of 1916 to do what he can for this fund that present standards may be maintained.
"Is" Eigner is connected with the Department of Internal Revenue in Boston and vicinity—no wonder he smiles extravagantly!
The only bits of local gossip out of New York in recent weeks come from "Ken" Stowell and "Don" Doenecke. "Ken" is "architecting," and "Donnie" is associated with his father in building construction. Come on, New York, only five hours away by train; "but it doesn't mean anything!"
And along this line a breeze of gossip from the "Windy City" is overdue, probably stalled trying to crawl through New York.
Not content with the present versatility of the class, "Gene" McQuesten has entered the lists in defence of "law and order." Packing a gat and chesting a badge, "Gene" is now a special officer on temporary strike duty at the plant of the Nashua Manufacturing Co. And we must agree that it's far better to be on the "outside looking in."
C. C. Hitchcock, who is with the J. L. Hudson Company of Detroit, has changed his residence address to 615 Floyd Ave., Birmingham, Mich.
P. J. Larmon's present address is 44 West 44th St., New York City.
Through an error, the business address of Robert A. Pease was given in the last number of the MAGAZINE as Revere St., Boston. This is his home address, his business office being located at 84 State St., Boston.
Secretary, H. Clifford Bean, 38 Algonquin St., Dorchester, Mass.
