CLASS OF 1911
Save your forks! The Swede is married! The modest announcement which you might expect, states that Mrs. Thomas Moore Jackson has the honor of announcing the marriage of her daughter Florence to Mr. Edgar Needham, on Saturday, September 29, at Clarksburg, W. Va.
Likewise, Henry S. Smith and Elizabeth L. Bryning announce their marriage on Saturday, July 7, in Mexico City. We have not had any word from Henry for some time, but lately have been receiving marriage announcements, postal cards, et cetera. Congratulations to Mrs. Smith, as she certainly has acquired the 1911 spirit already. Henry's address is 6a Colima 185, Mexico D.F.
Marian Card, daughter of Harold S., was born September 12. Harold is already planning to send her to the 1941 Prom.
Syd Beane has so far recovered his health that he is now manager of the concrete form department of the Housing Company, Waverly, Mass.
Indirect word about Ken. Knapp states that he is going big in Rochester, N. Y., and has recently been made a partner in the engineering firm with which he has been connected.
For one who is a long distance from Hanover, Larry Odlin manages to keep closely in touch with us. Larry is still cruising off the coast of China, and was at Shanghai long enough to hold a 1911 reunion with Clarence Holden. Larry had a very narrow escape from a bad accident during the Fourth of July celebration in Shanghai, but fortunately was able to leave the hospital after a day or two, without sustaining serious injuries.
Those who attended the Harvard game a year ago will remember the spectacular announcement of the engagement of Stan Macomber on that occasion. We shall expect to see him at the next Harvard game with his wife, since he and Miss Lillian Lewis of Circleville, Ohio, were married 8.
Recently, the engagement of Bill Curtis was announced to Miss Elizabeth G. Shepardson, a graduate of Mt. Holyoke College in 1917.
Bob Hatch, in addition to his old business in Concord Junction, is now engaged in the management of the Sterling Electric Clock Corporation, 226 East 42d St., New York.
It was a great pleasure to hear recently from Tim Vaitses, although impossible to understand just what he meant when he said that his personal correspondence had been under the influence of the "manana." We call that stuff "hootch" in this country- Tim has been married now for some four years, and has a young daughter, Martha Honorata, who is three years old.
Have the glad hand out for Dutch Whitman. He has a son, John Bowker, born August 22
Eb Holden comes through from China with money for the class, and also an expression of interest in the class directory, even though he is unable to use it.
Arthur D. (Art) Pease's new home address is 925 South Ainsworth St., Tacoma, Wash.
Harold Moseley has fond recollections of his'early days in College and wishes to perpetuate the memory of them. The memorial which he has built for himself is a pretzel factory in his home town of Thompsonville, Conn., where he is now successfully manufacturing bridge pretzels such as never were before. Mose has really built up a fine trade for his business on the theory, I assume, that they may be used with ginger ale as well as other thingS" . 711
On October 1, Warren Agry moved to 711 Locust Street, Winnetka, Ill.
Ky Byrnes' latest business address is 318 West 46th St., New York.
Forrest Owen has ceased to be a railroad man, and has now become a raiser of flowers. On September 1, he formed a company known as Landown Florists, Inc., at 130 Washington Street, Waukegan, Ill. Up to this time Forrest has been located in Libertyville, Ill., where he has been very active in the American Legion and is past commander of the local post. He has two children, three and five years old.
Nineteen eleven seems to keep a representative of the class at the Command School, Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, where Russell Patterson went about the time that Pat Hurley got through. A very interesting letter was received from Patterson, telling of his experiences in the army, and expressing his great disappointment that he has been stationed so far away from Hanover that he has unable to return to any of the class gatherings. Russ is very much interested in 1911 and the happenings of its members, and would be mighty glad to run across some of the gang.
Jack Crooks' firm, C. J. Cox Engineering Company, has moved to 625 Putnam Ave., Cambridge, Mass.
A letter from Herb Clark states that he is giving up his business in Boston and is moving to Portland, Oregon. He promises to have his new address and some facts about himself for the next issue of the MAGAZINE.
The class will be much pleased to know that Ben Stout's wife, who has been very ill for two years, has now recovered so completely that he is going to bring her on for the Harvard-Dartmouth game.
Herbert (Dutch) Uline, as general director of merchandising for the Powers Mercantile Company, in Minneapolis, has acquired a great reputation among those who know him there, for the fine job that he is doing with his concern.
George Morris writes that he recently ran across Harrison Robins, his wife, son, and daughter, on one of the Chesapeake Bay boats, and he says that the butter and eggs commission business left Robbie by his father has apparently not in any way decreased his bulk. Robbie's business is located in Baltimore, and he has just built a new house in Mt. Washington.
Charlie Stebbins has given up his apartment in Jamaica Plain and returned to Frost Terrace, Cambridge, Mass. Notice has been sent to Burns Detective Agency, Pinkerton, and Scotland Yard.
After the most successful season that the Mountain View House has ever enjoyed, Frank Dodge is leaving immediately to assume a very responsible position in St. Petersburg, Florida, for the winter. He has been engaged as manager of the new Sorino Hotel, a million and a half dollar property which is now1 approaching completion. It makes it rather nice for 1911 that we can spend our summers in Whitefield in the White Mountains and our winters in Florida.
If anyone sees Ray and Cora Taylor meandering about different parts of the country, it's all right. Ray has given up his work with Shreve and Adams, and is now traveling about the country trying to enjoy himself for a while before engaging in further work.
Since the death of his father during the summer, Chet Butts, with his brother, has taken over the active management of Butts and Ordway Company, Chet's official position now being treasurer of the company.
The next issue of the MAGAZINE will contain accounts of the Cornell and Harvard games reunions, plans for which are well under way at this time.
Rev. Ernest E. Morrill has resigned his pastorate at Millbury, Mass., and began September 1 the pastorate of the Pawcatuck Congregational church at Westerly, R. I.
Secretary, Prof. Nathaniel G. Burleigh, Hanover, N. H.
