CLASS OF 1911
There is one man in 1911 who deserves much sympathy and a lot of help. His name is John Pearson, his address is 72 Pleasant St.. Concord, N. H. Sympathy won't really get him much, but help through the mailing of a reply to his request for aid in building up the Alumni Fund will mean much to him, particularly if it comes from the 247 men who haven't yet acknowledged his requests.
The Secretary is glad to recommend to you the sending of fifty cents to E. F. Clark, Secretary of the College, for the purchase of the revised "Dartmouth College." This is a revision of that very attractive pamphlet put out several years ago, which describes the College and shows many very interesting cuts of the present College and its activities. If you want to see what Dartmouth looks like now, there is no better way to do it, and incidentally obtain a very attractive book, which will picture to your preparatory school friends what a grand and glorious place Dartmouth is. This is not an advertisement, but a sincere recommendation of something which you will surely appreciate having.
The following article, taken from The Dartmouth with reference to Jack Ryan, will be of interest to every 1911-er:
"DARTMOUTH STAR AND COACH DRILLS FOOTBALL CANDIDATES
To Work in Madison All the Year for Badgersand to Hold Faculty Position
"'Under the tutelage of its new head football coach, John J. Ryan 'll, the football team of the University of Wisconsin is receiving active spring football training under a regular coach this spring for the first time.
"Ryan was unanimously chosen by the Wisconsin Board of Regents on March 7 from a group of more than 60 coaches as the first allyear football coach that the university has had since the days.of June in 1915, and has the rank of associate professor of physical education. His appointment took effect immediately, and he has, been in Madison since March 9 getting acquainted with his staff, meeting the players, and drawing plans for spring training.
"Since 1903, when he first played halfback on the high school football team of Waterbury, Conn., he has been active in football as player, scout, official, , and coach. He played quarter for New Hampshire State College in 1906, and transferred to Dartmouth the following fall, playing scrub quarter. He was varsity quarter in 1908, right half in 1909, and right end and captain in 1910.
"After graduation he went to St. Thomas College in St. Paul, Minn., to take a position as professor of English.. During his three years there he was head, coach of all activities, turning but a football team which received no defeats.
"Leaving St. Thomas in 1914, Coach Ryan acted as scout in the Western Conference for two years, after which he went to Marquette University, Milwaukee, Wis., as advisory coach. He became head coach in 1917, holding the position until 1921, when he came to Hanover to be assistant coach in charge of the ends and backs.
"While he was head coach of Marquette, a period of five seasons, Ryan's teams were defeated only five tinges, the first defeat of his career as a football mentor being at the hands of his present school, Wisconsin, in 1919. In 1917 his players registered a victory over the famous Great Lakes team, which was composed of football stars from all over the country, and made a season's record of 348 points to their opponents' 7. His five Marquette teams made a total of 1598 points to their opponents' 151.
"Having been appointed for an indefinite period, Coach Ryan is in full charge of football at Wisconsin and is already hard at work, getting a line on material for next year. Towards the close of this semester regular scrimmages and advanced team work will be on the program."
Further news from Larry Odlin in the form of a letter to Dick Paul states that he is transferred from the Naval Base, Cavite, P. I., where he was supply officer, to the U.S.S. Huron, flag ship of the Asiatic Squadron, where he is supply officer. He has touched at Java, Yokohama, Kobe, etc. He says he likes his present job better than his land station as supply officer at the naval base, but it forces him to put on a lot of "dog." But since "dog" is becoming to Larry, why should be worry?
Jim Mathes made his annual trip to the Tuck School for the purpose of enlightening the American youth recently, and made a boastful announcement of one more girl in his family. Further details were not announced, but it is assumed that she has a name, etc.
Dick Chase is now president of the Belknap County Alumni Association of New Hampshire. Dick is doing his part by sending the good Laconia youths Hanoverward.
A . handsomely engraved card was received from Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth F. Ballou recently, on the upper part of which appeared the announcement of Richard West Ballou, April 21, 1923.
In last month's copy of the MAGAZINE appeared an obituary notice of Rev. George W. French, 1911. "Curly" had had a very long, hard sickness, which was not known to any of us until just before his death. The following extract from the Gardner News shows to some extent the respect in which he was held by his townspeople:
"Seldom has there come to Templeton a man who in less than four years had endeared himself to everybody as did Rev. George W. French Mr. French had suffered intensely for many months with a disease which he knew to be incurable, but throughout it all was hopeful constantly to his friends and townspeople The president of his class at Bangor Theological Seminary told how applicable were the words, 'I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith,' to his beloved classmate. 'What he has been to you he was to his class and was the life of the class.' "
Holyoke's popular hardware merchants, J. Russell and Company, of which our own Newt is treasurer, have recently opened a handsome new store, where Newt was surprised by the Secretary engaged in the pleasant pursuit of bossing the best looking coterie of office girls yet seen in the hardware business. Newt seemed perfectly at home and thoroughly enjoying himself.
Cap Hedges once boasted of sometime having a basketball team under his own control. There is at present but one member missing, the fourth member having arrived April 2, taking the name of Horace G. Hedges, Jr. What's more, Cap says they are all coming to Dartmouth.
On a recent trip to, Cincinnati the Secretary found 1911 's quota in this city 100% active and going strong. Lew Sisson, besides being a darn good Dartmouth man, has two things of which he boasts. One is the city itself, built upon its seven hills like ancient Rome; the other, a group of three attractive young daughters, who, in the words of a good Dartmouth alumnus, should make three excellent Dartmouth catchers, though they can never hope to be pitchers.
Max Eaton made the second member of 1911 in the city when he joined the organization of James G. Cooper and Company, real estate agents, with his office at 711 Traction Building, and his. home at 2214 Slane Ave., Norwood. Max and his firm are doing much to enhance the beauty of Lew's seven hills with some of the real estate developments which they are making.
This is not an advertisement either, but if any good 1911 man wants a good welcome I can recommend none better than that served by the Cincinnati group.
Sarge Eaton is now operating a department store in Haverhill, Mass., under the name of Simonds and Adams, and lives at 100 Chestnut St.
Reference was made to Bill Carlisle in the last number of the MAGAZINE. More facts are now known about him. He is advertising manager of the American Magazine, and his address is The Crowell Publishing Co., 381 Fourth Ave., New York city. Bill, having just recently completed a handsome home in Illinois, now has the pleasure of selling it and moving to New York. At present he is living at the Vanderbilt Hotel.
A pleasant letter from Pat Hurley infers that Dartmouth College is a cinch compared to the General Staff College he is now attending at Fort Leavenworth, Kan. He says it's the worst year he has ever put in, war in the front lines being preferable. The school is a competition for place, and they mark their problems down to 1/10 of a point. There are 154 men in the class, well bunched in respect to grade. Of this number, the fifty high men make the general staff, so that Pat, who is the goat in years of commission service, says there is plenty of mental strain. However, I have an idea that Pat is not the goat as far as class standing goes.
Lester M. Harding has at last been chased to his den, which now is 6933 Ashby Road, Upper Darby, Pa., where he presides over a wife and one child, Phyllis Lea, who is now a year old. Les is now secretary of Wilson Pritchett and Company, bankers, 210 North American Building, Philadelphia.
Clyde Locke is now living at 207 Calvern Ave., Buffalo. He is engineer for the A. E. Baxter Engineering Company, 90S Ellicott Square, Buffalo, N. Y. Clyde is chiefly interested in building flour mills.
Cliff Orcutt, who admits his preference for 1911, having had a sample of 1913, is now living at 24 Euclid Ave., Richfield Park, N. J. He is adjuster for Marsh and McLenna, insurance brokers, Maiden Lane, New York city. Cliff is married, and has a daughter and two boys.
Ray Palmer is building up an excellent business as a fabricator of steel structures in Holyoke, Mass. Ray now has two brothers and his father associated with him, and they have recently built a new plant, to which they are now building a large addition. Ray has two charming daughters, one of whom has blue eyes and blond curls and the other brown eyes and brunette curls. When a father can tell this information about his daughters, he surely is more than the average father.
Herbert Uline is merchandise manager of the Powers Mercantile Company, a large department store in Minneapolis. Ulie is living at 3140 Fremont Ave., South, Minneapolis.
The Secretary always was interested in the ladies, but he is getting more fond of them constantly. They certainly are a great help when it comes to giving facts about one's 1911 husband and family. Perhaps this is a hint for more of the good wives to voluntarily make his acquaintance, because shortly he is going to resort to wives to find out about men. For instance, a letter from Mrs. Riley T. Young was the kind of letter which it pleases him to receive. She writes that the ALUMNI MAGAZINE is a source of great interest in their household, that she always reads it from cover to cover before she allows Riley to read it. She says there are already two small sons in the family preparing for Dartmouth. She and Riley were married in Montreal in 1917. The two sons are now five and two years old respectively. The Young family live at 19 Cooper St., New York city, and Riley is with H. S. Ferguson at 200 Fifth Ave.
Secretary, Prof. Nathaniel G. Burleigh, Hanover, N. H.
