Class of 1914
The 1914 Big Tenth Bang is coming along. Aborn is lining up the Boston members of the class. Remsen and Briggs are responsible for New York city and surrounding territory, Munkelt is getting things in shape for Pittsburgh, Herlihy is rounding up the Chicagoans, and others in various other sections are doing yeoman service. Margeson and his cohorts are just beginning to get busy on transportation, so that the members of the class will land in Hanover in style.
In spite of the work in handling details on reunion arrangements, it is a genuine pleasure to have so much correspondence with the boys, know what they are doing, and be in a position to look forward to seeing them in June. All of the Boston crowd working on these details want to say how much they appreciate the letters, even though they have insufficient time to acknowledge them.
The Dartmouth alumni banquet in New York on the evening of February 19 brought twenty-one members of the class, as follows: Humphrey, Buck, Baldwin, Cook, Picken, Hands, Davidson, Voorhees, Briggs, Palmer, Brownell, Kingsley, Learoyd, McCullough, Sleeper, Hopkins, Conn, Beals, Crandall, Daley, and Remsen.
Johnny Palmer and Mart Remsen were elected to the board of governors of the New York Alumni Association. Mart Remsen is also chairman of the employment committee of the New York Alumni Association, recently formed to assist new graduates in procuring jobs and helping others who desire a change in their position. All who have vacancies for a Dartmouth man get in touch with Mart at 165 Broadway, New York.
The Pow Wow in Chicago brought forth twenty-two members of the class, which was the third largest representation. Those present included the following: Donovan, Herlihy, Loudon, Ramage, Williams, Netsch, Batchelder, Marceau, Young, Webber, Frost, Field, Niles, Davidson, White, Harrison, Welch, Parker, Littlewood, Estep, Reber, and Barnard.
Walt Humphrey has put one over again on the cover of the Saturday- Evening Post of February 23.
Ed Leech is returning to Boston, where he will be located with Jones, McDuffee, and Stratton.
Walt Daley reports that Pingree Full out in Seattle broke his leg in two places tobogganing down one of the Pacific Coast mountains. He has recovered, and the Western Electric company has transferred him to Springfield, Mass., at which point he will probably be located by the time this item is in print.
Dwight Conn has broadcasted piano selections from station WEAF, New York. He and Jeff Beals share an apartment just off the Great White Way.
Steve Fordham has opened an office for the practice of admiralty law, 149 Broadway, New York city.
Roger Rice has gone to Florida on a land development scheme.
Pattee, who manages the Hotel Breslin in New York city, says that the Democratic convention coming at the same time as the reunion may prevent his attending. That is one of the best excuses that we have had thus far.
Patsy Donovan has turned up with Montgomery Ward and Company in Chicago, having been lost sight of for. a number of months so far as those of us in the East knew.
Franz Marceau, who has been off the mailing list due to a change in home address, has been reinstated in Sears, Roebuck and Company. He was very much alive at the time of the Pow Wow. Lew Corliss in Hartford has been elected president of the Connecticut Alumni Association.
Harold Johnson is an underwriter in the Fidelity Bond Department of the Aetna Casualty and Surety Company.
Ralph Jenkins, supervisor of schools in Putnam, Conn., reports three children. Incidentally we seem to have no record of any member of the class with more than three offspring. How about it?
We had hoped to locate Bob Hastings in Montreal through Bob Dunbar, but he has not been located as yet. Dunbar says that he is using some of Louie Dow's perfectly good French in a shoe factory in Montreal, but the employees do not seem to understand it.
Hank Llewellyn recently sold Jack Dcmpsey a good sized life insurance policy. Jim Gregg claims that Hank is with the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company in Boston, and Mart Remsen claims that he is living at New Rochelle, N. Y. Will Hank please prove one of these statements.
Clyde Buckley has become secretary and treasurer of C. S. Clement and Company, Inc., of Nashua, N. H. You will all remember this as a firm of tailors regularly visiting Hanover while we were( in college.
John Hanna seems to have been quite a political guy in Washington, at one time being special assistant to the Attorney General. He escaped from that situation previous to the outbreak of the Teapot Dome scandal.
A 1 Overton has been transferred to New Orleans by the Richardson Company of Melrose Park, 111., at which point he was previously located.
Secretary, 30 State St., Boston. (Sent by Herbert S. Austin)
