Class of 1911
The treasurer has informed the class of the plan of continuing the sending of this MAGAZINE to all members of the class who reply favorably to his recent invitation. In case therefore, the MAGAZINE does not reach you, will you kindly advise one of us of that fact, so that we may make arrangements for its continuation.
Warren Patten, although still maintaining business headquarters in Washington, now has a Boston office at 530 Lawyers' Building.
Rhinebeck, New York, has a new rector at the Church of the Messiah, by the name of "Gabe" Farrell, who is now installed in the parish and has his permanent address there.
All will be sorry to learn that Andy Proudfit has found it necessary to leave Florida and go to Asheville, N. C., in order to seek recovery, of his health. Andy has been at the Fair View Sanitarium for a year and a half, and is putting up a good scrap. I am sure we all wish him the best of luck, and I know that he would be delighted to hear from his old friends.
George Morris was one of the American lawyers attending the meeting of the Bar Association held in England this last summer. He was accompanied by Mrs. Morris, and not being satisfied only to see Burt Burbeck in London, traveled on to Paris with the special purpose of looking in on Louis Hall. He did not mention seeing anything else in Paris except Louis, but affirmed that he had a most enjoyable dinner with Louis and his wife, whom he declared to be a most desirable asset to the 1911 delegation. Burt Burbeck he pronounced as going strong in the Swift organization, where he is next to the head of the European sales organization. Burt apparently is as handsome as ever.
Washington has taken on another 1911 resident in the person of "Pug" Sanborn, who is living at 1754 Kilbourne Place. What "Pug" is doing is still a secret, but we hope to learn shortly.
Stan Rockwood is teaching French at the University of Wisconsin, where he is working for a Doctor of Philosophy's degree in Romance languages as well. Stan says he heard Bob Barstow preach an excellent sermon on a recent Sunday, while the next day Jack Ryan was to start football practice with the University. Expect the next thing we shall hear is that Bob has made a deacon of Stan.
Bob Sanderson was recently the host at another very enjoyable party, when about twenty Eleveners went to the Waltham Country Club for dinner, with some ten participating in a game of golf during a pouring rain. Even though the golf was not all that it might have been, the party appears to be the forerunner of other such occasions for the Boston crowd.
Mr. and Mrs. Sid Backus announce the birth of Priscilla Holden on September 4.
A recent issue of the Boston Transcript carried pictures of two of our military classmates, namely, Dick Paul and Pat Hurley. Pat appeared with a group of the officers of the staff of the Commanding General of New England, while Dick was in charge of the Legionnaires who commanded local participation on National Defense Day. Dick was recently elected third vice-commander of the American Legion of Massachusetts.
"Brownie" Wilder says the trouble with living in Mexico is, he has too darn many letters to write. A pleasure which he has, however, is that he and "Gabe" Campbell have opportunity for frequent reunions, golf, etc. Even in Mexico he heard what happened to Al Wheeler.
Art Ganley has hung out his shingle at 390 Park Ave., East Orange, N. J. Gan was specializing in orthopedics in New York, but has now taken up general practice in East Orange, which he also calls home.
Rath Sprague fooled them all by being quietly married on August 16 to Miss Marion Grace Zimmerman. Rath and his wife are spending the fall in the States before going back to his sugar plantation in Cuba, where they will probably stay for a year or so.
The Secretary was delighted to receive a card recently from Carroll Davis, whom none of us have seen much of lately. Carroll is living at 79 Highland Ave., Winthrop Highlands, Mass., and is chemical engineer and supervisor of laboratories for the Boston Woven Hose and Rubber Company, Cambridge.
King Moses recently visited Boston on his way out to the Azores, where he is going in the employ of the publicity department of the Western Union Telegraph Company. King is going to follow the job of laying a new cable, and his trip includes visits to Spain, Portugal, Paris, and London. Surely, King has traveled widely, and is filled with interesting stories of all parts of the world.
Following is a copy of a poem received from none other than C. Merton Wilson: "Allan Nicholas Wilson to the class of 1911 Greeting. July 21, 1924. "Everybody's happy and well, And the class of 1946 Will have an 'Al,' Only we hope That the 'Al'
Of the class of 1946 Will have a chance To meet the 'Al' Of the class of 1911, And together Show the other 'Als' Of Dartmouth College What a humdinger Of a Wah Hoo Wah A real Al' Is. We thank you. And. No apologies."
Johnny Mayer on July 1 was made vice-president of Weber and Heilbroner, a large merchandise establishment in New York city.
Jack McDonald from Washington stops long enough to send his approval of the ALUMNI MAGAZINE plan, saying that it is far superior to any class letter scheme. It is hoped Jack has expressed the feeling of the rest of the class.
A picture of a stork was recently received, announcing the birth of Emily Jane to Mr. and Mrs. Burt Cooper on July 30.
Bob Kimball has forsaken the wily ways of the financiers to become associated with Josh Clark in the State Mutual Life Assurance Company, where Josh says he is making a whale of a success as an insurance salesman.
Josh Clark writes that they do not mind living in an old farm house (which incidentally is very new), and they are getting gradually settled, but that merely because his new home is an ancient farm house is no reason why he should take care of his neighbor's hens. Anyhow, he has learned something about how many times a day they lay their eggs.
A babygram on July 22 tells of the safe arrival of seven-pound daughter Mary to Dad and Mother Jack Ingersoll.
This last summer seems to have been a banner year for increasing the ranks of 1911 in its second generation as likewise Mr. and Mrs. James H. (Windy) Batchelder tell of Dudley Bowman's celebrating his independence by arriving at their home on July 4th.
Bill Curtis will appear at the football reunions this fall with his bride, formerly Miss Elizabeth Georgiana Shepardson. Bill was married on July 12, and is residing at 184 Park Ave., Worcester, Mass.
