Class of 1911
The high spot in 1911 affairs for the past month was the Dartmouth Pow Wow in Chicago. It probably is unnecessary to announce, as Nineteen-Eleveners at least can take it for granted, that our class was handed the palm for having the largest number of alumni present. The twentynine attendants on this occasion were as follows: from Chicago and points adjacent, Agry, Card, Dykeman, Fuller, Grover, Hastings, E. R. Keeler, Morrill, Morton, Owen, Parker Ralston, Stout, Wampler, B. C. Wheeler; from Ohio, R. B. Keeler, McConnell, and Sisson; from Wisconsin, Rockwood and Ryan; Locke from Buffalo, Hedges from Cedar Rapids, S. G. Eaton from Sioux City, Eiseman from New York, Morris from Washington, Butts, Mullen, and Paul from Boston, and Burleigh from Hanover.
A very pleasant occasion for Nineteen Eleveners at the Pow Wow was a joint luncheon with the contemporary classes from 1909 to 1913. The adherents of 1911 endorse the enthusiastic statement on the Pow Wow given elsewhere in this MAGAZINE, and merely say that we are ready to take the prize for record attendance at any other such occasion.
It is only fair to state that much of the success of the Pow Wow in addition to the prize for attendance should also be claimed by 1911, as Warren Agry and Bert Wheeler in particular took over a large part of the arrangements for conducting the affair, being ably assisted by many other 1911 men in the city. Bert was in charge of arrangements and the treasury, and Warren was responsible for the entertainment.
Word has been received from Mrs: Richardson, Sam's mother, that Sam is now in the American Consular Service at Queenstown, Ireland, a-s vice-consul; that is, he will be as soon as he gets back from France, where he has been for a month.

Lew Sisson says that if it were a game of chance sometimes indulged in by college men as well as others, "Cap" Hedges would win with four kings, but that he would run a close second with four queens. In other words, his latest daughter was born January 15 and answers to the name of Sarah Jane.
Rumor has it that "Babe" Post is in the wholesale candy business at St. Albans, being in partnership under the name of Post and Proulx.

Herb Clark returns East after having experienced the western variety of hospitality that he says entirely outdoes any southern hospitality he ever saw, and he refers to "Tommy" Atkins who, he says, certainly made things pleasant for him in Portland, Oregon. He adds that any NineteenElevener who goes through Portland (to where I don't know) should look Tommy up. He also speaks of attending a Dartmouth luncheon in Portland, where 1911, as usual, scored high in attendance. Herb is now with the same concern, Maynard and Child, at 100 Hudson St:, New York.
Herb also raises the question if Johnny Pearson didn't make an error in his letter in the directory where he said only six men had given regularly to the Alumni Fund. The answer is that Johnny as usual is right, but I expect Johnny's answer would be that the fact that more have not given every year since the Fund started should not deter the rest from giving this year and making a reputation as regular as possible.
Julius MacLam has been spending a month in Boston, where he underwent an operation for appendicitis and has since been recuperating. Chet Butts says he doesn't look any worse for his experience, and is of the opinion that Boston is a better place to recuperate than some other cities.
