Class of 1913
The news of first importance this month is the 1913 part of the Pow Wow at Chicago. Elsewhere you'll read of the whole affair. The '13 program started with class dinner Friday evening in the French Room at the Blackstone, just before the vaudeville and dance. Here "Fairy" and Lena Fairbanks of Cleveland, Ohio., Len and Madge Manley of Sioux City, lowa. "Hap" and Mrs. Atwood of Minneapolis, Minn., "Big" and Hazel Bigelow of St. Paul, Minn., Joe and Marie Barnett and Bill and Lois Towler of Chicago gathered about the "banquet board" fully twelve feet across and twenty feet in length. "We looked like a very formal party," writes Bill, "scattered around the big board at four foot intervals, but before we finished we managed to crowd up a bit." In addition to these six couples there were in Chicago for the Pow Wow Cully Welsh, Carl and Mrs. Pfau, Dana Waterman, Ned Crawford, Earl Craig, Earle Barber, George McClary, and Bill Dent. Seveal from New York and Boston who had planned to attend were prevented at the last minute. More power to the next Pow Wow !
Herman O. Parkinson was elected vicepresident of the California Library Association for the year 1923-4. Herman is living in Stockton, Cal.
The New York alumni banquet on February 19 was well attended by the crowd. Byrnes, Catterall, Ashton, Riley, Stoddard, Nutt, Gannon, Smith, Davis, Lenfesty, Terry, Seaman, Macdonald. Dessau, and Remsen heard Governor Cox and President Hopkins. It was learned that Nutt has become a Mah Jongg fiend, that the class dues are coming well to Lenfesty, and that Chuck Riley, of insurance fame, is leaving New York for his native haunts of Haverhill, Mass. Word from Bill Towler stated that several checks from fellows who did not contribute last year have been received, along with many other checks.
Remember the reunion last June. Everyone come across now and send a check to Bill Towler in Chicago at once, so that there will be a Hanover in 1928 for our Fifteenth. T. W. Towler, 326 West Madison St., Chicago, 111. So don't say you didn't know the address and Bill's name.
Word from Matt Gately, with the First National Bank of Boston, Buenos Aires branch, states that the Dartmouth Club of Buenos Aires is thriving, with Eberle as president and Hale as secretary. As there are no dues, they "do not need a treasurer." He wants to tell Tubby Merrill that Buenos Aires is the best place he knows of to reduce.
Ros Powers has left Springfield, Mass., and is in Albany, N. Y., where he has established himself with the firm of Judge, Lyons, and Boyle, at 113 State St.
