CLASS OF 1910
Another honor has been attached to the name of Spud Pishon. A Legion Post in Boston recently received its charter for the benefit of advertising men who were in service. They have seen fit to name this post "The Crosscup-Pishon Post."
As usual, the Tenners carried off the brown derby at the New England Alumni Association annual dinner held the latter part of January in Boston. There were twenty-six Tenners present. Those in attendance were: Lew Wallace, Slip Powers, Cushman, Hazen Jones, R. W. Taylor, Jim Ingalls, Art Allen, Earle Pierce, Jim Everett, Hal Hyde, Jesse Wilson, Bezil Parker, Nate Sherman, Ben Williams, Heinie Hyde, Les Wiggin, W.E. Taylor, George Allen, Hoitt Charlton, Winn Nay, Ray Gorton, Elsie Jenness, Gay Gleason, Fielder Jones, Joe Downey, George Thurber.
Dick Boerker announces his colors by saying: "First I want to say that I subscribe to the ALUMNI MAGAZINE and would not be without it. I have taken it for years, and I think every alumnus ought to take it." I wish more of the class would interest themselves in the work to the extent of subscribing. I would feel a lot more gratified over the work I am doing if I felt that a majority of the class were deriving some good from it. Dick goes on to say: "I am not much of a hand* on writing news. My forestry work has many phases. I estimate the value of timber tracts and have even sold some. I do landscape work and develop private estates. I strongly advocate planting up waste lands. It is like putting money in the bank to draw interest. Moreover, I practice what I preach on my own lands. Recently was called to Washington as witness for the Government in a big timber damage suit. Such cases are tried in Court of Claims, U.S. Department of Justice. I write quite a good deal on forestry and conservation subjects. lam publishing a book on ecology, and have signed a contract to furnish movies on conservation." No charge for this advertising, Dick. You can drop around and prune my trees some time to even up.
Easty was recently elected the first president of the newly formed Dartmouth Alumni Association of Wisconsin. Jack Ryan, a "one time Tenner, was elected vice-president. .On March 7 Jack received the appointment as head coach at the University of Wisconsin. The appointment was confirmed by the board of regents, and the salary attached to the job named as $6,000. Jack receives the rank of assistant professor at the University. This of course should entitle the class of 1910 at least one side line pass, so if any Tenners get up in this neck of the woods next fall, make it known, and the place is yours.
Kid Fowler writes from down in Louisiana among the tall sugar cane. He says his natural inclinations keep him in the South, but he hopes before long to don his traveling togs and hike back into God's country, where at least a stray Dartmouth man will cross his path.
General Grant says he has no news to report from Manchester, except that if anybody is short of snow they have a surplus. General says. There are a whole lot of people in this world who are just toddling along the same as I am — filling in gaps where it requires no genius. It is fortunate, perhaps, that there are more of that group of people than there are geniuses. But I am still plodding along. Have a nice little family, two girls who are the pride of my life. That's enough to give me something to work for." General, you have said a whole lot, and we are all in the same boat. Let's take 'em all back to the fifteenth reunion.
Ed Raabe reports the arrival of his first child, a daughter, Laila Jean, on February 3, 1923. You all recall that Ed is in the telephone business. Of course he has to have operators.
John Cassidy has been rather lax in reporting his maneuvers lately. News arrives via Ray Seymour that Jack now has two boys and one girl. The older boy is eight and the girl five. The younger boy, James Joseph landed March 19, 1922. Jack failed to record him with the class, and he therefore has been unqualified up to this time. There are other modest men in the class, Jack, just like you. John is with W.R. Collins and Company, Inc., located at SO John St., New York city. He is in the general insurance business, but specializes in life, accident, and health.
The front page of the New York Times of Sunday, February 11, gives a column interview with Rollie Reynolds. The caption heading the column is a follows: "Teachers College gets $3,000,000 for new plant uptown." Rollie of course suavely tells the reporter how he is going to spend the three million. Knowing Rollie as you all do, it is needless to reprint the interview, but leave it to Rollie.
Cliff Lyon is president of the Dartmouth Club of Holyoke this year. There are many other Tenners active in Dartmouth affairs this year, but their activities have been recorded.
Bert Kent reports the safe arrival of Charles Warren Kent, Second, February 23, 1923. Bert's letter indicates that he was feeling pretty proud when he dispatched the news.
Chan Baxter writes from Kansas City, where he stopped just long enough to write that he had spent an evening with Chet Scott at his home at Boise, Idaho. Chan says that Chet can crack crab and serve it like an old seafarer. This seems queer, doesn't it, for our inland inhabitants to acquire this art?
George Chamberlin is kept busy looking after twelve or fifteen million dollars' worth of construction work for Stone and Webster. George hangs out in Philadelphia now, living at 100 Avon Road, Narbreth, offices at 307 Real Estate Tirust Building. George handles Pennsylvania and Southern territory. George hopped from Pittsburgh and Cleveland to Chicago, thence to Baltimore, and is now tarrying for a while in Philly. His last big job was a $10,000,000 sugar refinery at Baltimore.
Art Bucknam and Ralph Paine were two of the inspirators and perpetrators of ideas for the recent successful annual alumni banquet of the state alumni association held a Waterbury. Art says nothing could have been excelled. Ralph had charge of decorations, and one of the distinctive features which marked the originality of the whole affair was a little keg containing the original "500 gallons."
Secretary, Whitney H. Eastman, 707 53rd St., Milwaukee, Wis.
