CLASS OF 1917
Mr. Ford's personal representative at Scott's Bluff. Nebraska—our Mr. Henry Bomgardner
-sends word that business in that section is on the rise, and that he (Hank) is taking a night school course in diplomacy in order to better fit himself for George Harvey's job when H. Ford ascends to the presidency.
As Seventeeners and other Dartmouth men have occasion to stop at Rutland, Vt., it might be well to remember that Bobby Boynton will probably extend the usual discounts at his hostelry — the Hotel Berwick. Try it anyway.
Alec Brown is still holding down the Travelers Insurance fort at Syracuse, N.Y.
Johnny Byers hasn't much to complain about except that he wishes the public paid more attention to Fleischmann's advertising, which advocates the eating of more bread. You see John is an officer of the Puritan Maid Bread Company in Norwich, Conn.
One of our strongest representatives in Akron, Ohio, is none other than Bill Crisp of freshman football fame. While in college we didn't have a very long time to get acquainted with Bill, but make it a point to see more of him if you get to Akron.
Another Dartmouth man, Tracy Dibble, Jr., was born in February at Brockton, Mass., and is already making rapid strides toward Hanover. It is reported that he has skipped Mother Goose and has commenced on the Dartmouth Song Book.
We regret our tardiness in transmitting word to the class of the death of Charley Gilman in April, 1921. Charley died from lingering effects of the war, after having made a gallant attempt to stay with us. "Lest we forget."
Isn't Fate the fickle wench ? Here's Dick Holbrook, elected the best looking man in the class of 1917, and the poor devil hasn't been able to get a wife yet.
Bruce Ludgate has moved out into the Penn- sylvania "bush", and has located at Lancaster, that he might better engage himself in the advertising business.
Pretty soon we expect to see Don O'Leary in Boston. He's been in New York, but found it a little fast so has gone to Chicago. From there he'll probably go to Hanover - the third largest town in the U.S. — and from there to Boston—the fourth largest.
Those looking for free publicity around Chicago shouldn't forget "Cub" Rodenbach of the Chicago News.
Professor Charles L. Stone, A.B., A.M., (that looks pretty good) spends ten months of the year at Dartmouth and the other two at Columbia, enlightening our youths on the subject of psychology. His spare (?) time is occupied in writing and lecturing on that subject. Conclusion—Charley is one busy boy.
Following an operation at which Howard M. Clute '11 assisted, the class secretary was favored with visits by two out-of-town delegates. Doc Walters, all the way from Rochester, Minn., dropped in and said "Hello", as did Robert Gordon Paine, senior and junior, and Mrs. Paine.
Gil Swett is with the Cosmopolitan, and his activities around New York help to keep 1917 on the map. Gil had a long letter recently from Trennie, in which the latter reports word from Goss and one or two of the gang indirectly. Derrill is with the famous old Second Division, and he says that that outfit is kept intact and ready to move at a moment's notice.
George Gregory is plugging on the Alumni Fund as hard as he knows how. Kick through, 1917'ers, and give him a lift. George has turned lecturer, as he informs us that the boys in Tuck School were favored with his presence last month.
Bob Adams dropped off in Boston long enough to take in that memorable event that was staged at the Boston Arena in February. Says he has to spend' most of his time north of Rouses Point for the Reciprocal Underwriters of New York.
Secretary, Ralph Sanborn, 37 Arlington St., Cambridge 40, Mass.
