Class of 1911
Nineteen-Eleven as usual had a small group in Hanover at Commencement, even though there was no regular reunion. Besides those who live in the college town, John Bartlett drove on from Buffalo on the excuse that he was to deliver a car to somebody in Massachusetts Dick Paul and Chet Butts had to maintain their record of never yet missing a Commencement; Warren Agry and George Morris were here for the Alumni Council meeting; "Log" Jackson came just to enjoy himself, while Bob Morrill, Dick Chase, and Bill Pierce came into town for a few minutes. Those present held a class meeting, where preliminary plans for the fifteenth reunion were discussed.
Bill Carlisle on a trip to Chicago recently, was taken with typhoid fever, and has been spending several weeks in a Chicago hospital, although he is now improving.
The Sanderson party on June 7 was the success for which it has become noted. There were sixty classmates and many wives present ; there were the usual ball games and bridge tournaments, in addition to the fine Sanderson hospitality. Those present have agreed that it equals the other small reunions such as are held at football games and so forth.
On Saturday, June 28, Priscilla Daggett McClellan was married to Dick Whelden at Grafton, Mass.
May Conroy, Jimmie's wife, reminded us at the Sanderson picnic that her son David arrived at the Conroy mansion on February 11, which had not been announced. We certainly do like to give people credit, so here's so much for Jimmie.
At the annual meeting of the National Association of Purchasing Agents in Boston in May, our bashful classmate, Bob Sanderson, was one of the speakers. .If the Secretary had not been likewise engaged at the same time, he certainly would have been present to have reported Bob's speech in full.
"Bendy" Griswold was recently caught honeymooning at Frank Dodge's Mountain View House. It was learned that Mrs. Griswold is a New York girl, but further facts other than that she is a very charming girl cannot be given at this time.
Incidentally, a number of Nineteen-Eleveners have been at the Mountain View House this year, all of which I am sure gives great delight to Frank, who is always glad to see them.
At the time of the death of Dr. Nichols, George Morris, who we know is always on the job, represented the class at the funeral, and later received a letter from Mrs. Nichols, a part of which may be interesting to the class. I quote from the letter:
"Thank you and the Dartmouth friends whom you represented, for your kindness to my daughter and me in Washington and for the beautiful flowers which were your last tribute to your friend and farmer president.
"When your name was telephoned to me at the Willard, I felt a thrill of kinship, for your class has always held a particular place in our thoughts of Dartmouth. It was good of you also to
stop and speak to us at the church."
Ralph Blanchard sailed June 7 on the steamship "Orca" for England, where he will spend six weeks vacationing;, together with some investigation in Kent along insurance lines, particularly health insurance.
"Hopper" Allison and his wife spent several days in Hanover just before Commencement. "Hopper" surely is becoming a prosperous looking doctor.
A 1 Wheeler arid his wife also were in Hanover in June. The wife was obtained on May 24 in Weston, Mass., her name previously being Helen Patterson Doble. Al is almost a new individual with his attractive bride. In fact, his first question was as to where he could get a glass of cold water, shortly followed by a second as to what time was the organ recital. A 1 almost went to the last and did drink all the water.
Ralph S. (Brownie) Wilder has left the United States, with his wife and family, to take up his residence in Mexico City, where he is connected with the organization of Tomas & Cia, Apartado 2670.
"Dutch" Whitman has moved from his apartment on Langdon St., Cambridge, Mass., to his old home in Somerville, to live with his mother since the death of his father recently.
A 1 Wheeler takes over "Dutch's" apartment, which has so long been his temporary home, as permanent home with Mrs. Wheeler above referred to.
Ken Clark has a new address at Soundview Ave., White Plains, where he has just built a new home.
In the last issue of the Magazine, statement was made that "Quack" Quackenboss was no longer connected with the Graton ana Knight Manufacturing Company. This should be corrected to the effect that the Worcester Counter Company, of which "Quack" is manager, is a department of the Graton and Knight Manufacturing Company.
Secretary, Hanover, N. H.
