Class of 1914

(The following are from Herbert S. Austin.)

There were 22 men at the Boston alumni dinner. Slater and Snow were the representatives of the Providence group. Taft represented the Southern New Hampshire group. The rest of the men included Stickney, Loveland, Lowell, Gregg, Gilbert, Bacon, Pooler, Buckley, Barnard, Aborn, Fletcher, Littlefield, Chandler, Wilkinson, Newmark, Batchelder, Saltmarsh, Saeger, and Austin.

We learn that Win Snow is selling cement and building materials in general for Waldo Brothers of Boston in the Providence territory.

Stickney is with the foundry department of the United Shoe Machinery Corporation of Beverly.

A. good letter has been received from Russ Williams, one of the class who left before completing the course to study law at U. of C. He is now vice-president and treasurer of the H. M. Sheer Company, Quincy, Ill., manufacturers of incubators, brooders, and poultry specialties. He reports a wife and two children, with a strong intention on the part of the former to accompany him to the Tenth in Hanover.

Ed Leech was recently seen in New York, presumably searching great bargains for class costumes in June.

The cards enclosed in the recent bulletin asking for measurements come back slowly. It must be that the boys are afraid that their girths will change considerably in the next few weeks. Corliss from Hartford wants a 40 stout. Briggs in New York leaves the impression that there may be a wife involved. This will bear looking into. Some of the boys in Boston, notably Lowell, Buckley, Pooler, and Austin want long-legged knickers so they won't look like runners ready for the next heat. Freemie Jones, out in New York state, after reading the careful explanation of the costumes, wants to know "what measurements are wanted." The committee asks for a return of the cards as soon as convenient.

Perry Parsons reports 87 five-spots in response to the call for funds in December. There are many more to be heard from. Don't delay forwarding this sum any longer than arrangements with the bank make necessary.

Stan Llewellyn is supposed to have gone to the Pacific Coast, present address unknown. Sig Larmon, who keeps track of Dartmouth affairs in Cleveland, tells us that Harvey Smith, U. S. Needs, Burrows Barstow, and W. L. Davidson, all listed from that city, are elsewhere in this great land of ours.

Robert C. Hastings is now a successful medico in Montreal, where we have set Dunbar on his trail to locate and report.

Is everyone planning to attend the Tenth in June at Hanover? SURE.
