Class of 1906
Happy New Year to every '06er! At the class dinner held the night before the Harvard game about 40 of the faithful turned out. The general program for the big 20th reunion—which is only 18 short months away—- was briefly discussed. It seemed to be the sentiment of the men present that a program having but one day devoted to a fixed schedule of events—the rest of the time to be free from a prearranged schedule—would suit the majority of those attending. Further, that the day of scheduled class events should be Sunday. This is usually the day set apart for a class picnic. Any further ideas along this line will be welcomed by the Secretary or any member of the executive committee.
Nineteen-six sure is raising thunder with the Rotary Clubs. Norm Russell has just served his term as president of the Newburyport Rotary Club and takes on the duties of president of the Chamber of Commerce. Bill Bell is president of the Concord, N. H., Rotary Club, and Art Birnie is president of the Biddeford, Me., Rotary Club. Next?
Charlie Main has been elected a term member of the corporation of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and is secretary of the class of '09, M. I. T. Charlie is also one of the selectmen of the town of Winchester, Mass.
Warner White, at Buffalo, has already made application for reservations for two at the 20th. For two, yes. Warner has taken unto himself a wife, and they'll both be on deck in 1926.
Had the pleasure of lunch with Bob Carpenter at the University Club, Cleveland, on the day of the Dartmouth-Cornell game. Carp said the Cleveland delegation will be in Hanover in 1926 to a man—and woman. Ive Greenwood is still handling most of the big real estate transfers of the city. Erickson has resigned his pastorate in Cleveland, and is now in New York, where he is devoting much of his time to writing.
Cliff Perry has moved from Swampscott, and now resides at 205 Maple St., Danvers, Mass. It sure did seem good to se£ old Cupid Lindsay again,—Judge Lindsay, as everybody in St. Louis calls Cupid—and everybody in St. Louis knows Henry T. Lindsay. And everybody in and around St. Louis likes to tell you of the wonderful football teams that Cupid coached and developed. Cupid has kept up his law practice in addition to spending considerable time looking after oil interests in Texas. He is president of the Burns Petroleum Company, and says the latch-string is always out at his law offices in the Federal Reserve Bank Building. Cupid promised to make a trip to Boston on or after the first of the year.
Nineteen-six was pretty well represented at the weekly lunch of the Dartmouth Club of Chicago when the Secretary dropped in at the University Club one Monday in December. Nat Leverone, always on the job in everything pertaining to Dartmouth, reports he is devoting all his time now to the real estate business. Nat is a member of the firm of Leverone, Coleman, and Dunne. Nat has removed his lares and penates from the Parkway Hotel to the New Belmont Hotel.
Kid Gleason has left the National Cash Register Company, and now represents the Duplex Envelope Company, IS South Market, Chicago. Fogarty promises to repeat his famous speech given at the 5th reunion if somebody will just give him a cue as to the first few sentences. After that Kid says he can go it alone.
Ray Herman is in the real estate business at 10 South La Salle St. Ray looks just the same same old broad smile, a little heavier perhaps —and lives at Highland Park. Sure, Ray will be in Hanover in '26.
Pitcher Glaze has resigned as coach of Lake Forest University, at Lake Park, Ill., and is now director of athletics at St. Viator College, Bourbonnais, Ill.
Walter Dakin, sales manager for John A. Logan Coal Company, 76 West Monroe St., Chicago, has a son who has carved out for himself an enviable record as a player on the Elgin high school football team. This is his junior year only. One more year and then Dartmouth. Walter lives at Highland Park Ill.
Jocko Griffin, I understand, has recently returned from a trip to England in the interests of the Western Electric Company, with which company Jocko has been associated since leaving Hanover.
William B. Twiss, associate professor of English in Rutgers College, is also first lieutenant of Company A, 114th Infantry, New Jersey National Guard.
Secretary, 1531 Center St., Roslindale, Mass.
