Class of 1914

As these lines are being written on the day after the Cornell game, most of us around Boston and New York have seen the Dartmouth football team in action for the last time this year. One or two of the wealthy chaps find they have a business engagement in Chicago for the 14th. Those further west will all be there. Those of us who have seen the Harvard, Brown, and Cornell games, however, certainly have had an eyefull this fall.

At the Stadium we had a large crowd seated in a body on the five yard line. There were twenty-seven at the City Club dinner on Friday evening, and a few more drifted in for the mass meeting. No class function was held on Saturday night, although some of the boys attended the 1915 get-together at the Lenox Hotel.

Quite a number took in the Brown game at the new Brown field. Bill Slater was active in staging the musical concert and dance at the Hotel Biltmore that evening.

Jack Piane and A 1 Richmond lost more than a year's growth each trying to arrange accomodations for 1914 men and their wives at the time of the Cornell game. The Gulick house up on the Lyme road was secured and filled to capacity. Neither of these two men say they will ever tackle such a job again. Win Snow was out in the middle of Main street most of Saturday forenoon taking a census of members of the class. At noon he had reached approximately 25, and promised to give me the list in time to go into this issue of the MAGAZINE; unfortunately time is too short to wait for it.

Gordon Sleeper, our radio magnate of New York city, came over to Wollaston to assist Charlie Batchelder get married on October 22. The fortunate lady was Jeanette Lamond, and the ceremony took place exactly five years from the time when Gordon was married and Charlie stood up as his best man.

"Doc" Saeger completed his special studies at Belger Hospital in New York city some time since, and is again practicing surgery at 270 Commonwealth Ave., Boston.

Ed Leech has been laid up most of the fall and unable to attend any of the football games or class meetings in connection with them. He is back on the job now, however, and selling large quantities of crockery and glassware for Jones, McDuffee, and Stratton in Boston. Ed devotes to firm business all the time he can spare from his job as secretary of the Dartmouth Club of Boston.

Had a letter from Jack Field out in Cleveland the other day, saying that fifty Dartmouth men of Cleveland plan to go to the Chicago game. The 1914 ranks have been depleted since Sig Larmon left for Philadelphia. Jack is in the coal business under the firm name of The Jones Field Coal Company.

Dr. Robert Flanders and Miss Mary Parker Straw were married in Manchester, N. H., September 26, at the residence of the bride's parents, Colonel and Mrs. William Parker Straw.
