Class of 1915

Bill Hall writes that he is now stationed at Oficios 18, Havana, Cuba, where he represents the International Mercantile Marine.

The class will be glad to hear that Francis Poor, after his long illness, is convalescing rapidly at Lebanon, Tenn. He is attending the Cumberland University Law School.

The December dinner of the New York Alumni was held at the Columbia University Club, Wednesday evening, December 17. Plans for the January "ladies' night" were discussed by McCarthy, Healy, MacAndrews, Rosenheim, Bradley, Braun, Fredericks, Comiskey, Gish, Griffith, Woolworth, Livermore, Hitchcock, Perry, Brown, Whit, Davis, and Woodcock.

Johnnie Johnson has enthusiastically started the plans for the big Tenth, and can see no chance for resting from his labors until 95% of the class have signed up. The most recent pledge comes in a letter from Russ Durgin, who is leaving China this month to be sure he will be with us. Russ has been traveling quite extensively in China and Japan, and judging from the Chinese characters that appear on his letter head he has arrived with Carl Gish among the Celestials. Russ will be at 154 Dudley Ave., Roslindale, sometime soon.

It is an indisputed fact that Dr. Jack Bowler is a good doctor. He scintillates about Hanover and its suburbs.

Two of our 1915 mates were quite at home at the intercollegiate smoker held recently at the Copley-Plaza, Boston. Herb Potter of the "House Beautiful" and Earl Clough, our parfumiere, acted as the right and left hand for a young lady entertainer. They did well, very well.

Larry Edgerton, Internal Revenue Service, Burlington, Vt. He has a wife too.

H. Thompson Rich now resides at 723 East Acacia Ave., Glendale, Cal. Weird Tales, a magazine of the unusual, published a story by Rich in December issue, entitled "The Crimson Crucifix." H. Thompson has been writing much for the movies and magazines, and now he plans books.

It was some time ago that we heard Musty Spaulding was about here. Musty is chasing the engineering bug, and reports a new address, Box 462, Lenoir, N. C. He plans and promises his presence in Hanover in June, 1925.

Jack Mason has a new address—textile specialist, 79 Milk St., Boston.

Malcolm MacDonald occasionally sends in news from Minneapolis. He has a young army of MacDonalds heading for Dartmouth. Mac's business address is MacDonald Builders, Inc., Minneapolis.

Bill Nissen and Josephine Fairbanks were married in June at the Calvary church, New York city.

Hal Claflin now resides at 78 Clarendon St., Newtonville, Mass. Claf has recently been married, that is, since we have seen him. Claf and Don Howe married sisters. Don Howe announced the arrival of another son, Kenneth Miller Howe, born July 26.

Bob MacHale seems to keep his romantic spirit at the front. He travels about the countries bordering the Mediterranean, stops at Marseilles, Rome, Tunis, and other interesting ports, and calls this touring work. We expect to hear from Bob that he can be with us in June.

Mr. and Mrs. Robert Griffin are at home since November 1, 1924, at 332 Waverly St., Belmont, .Mass. Mrs. Griffin was Mary E. Wisner of Brookline, Mass.

There has not been much news from Bob Frothingham recently. Bob has been lost in London for quite a few years. In 1919 he was elected secretary of the American Chamber of Commerce, and is now a director of the Chamber, general manager of the Dalton Adding Machine division, and a director of the Merkham Trading Company, Ltd.

Note please—John M. Mullin, vice-president Slingerlands Printing Company—residing at Slingerlands, N. Y. John is back at his old place in a new and better position.

Herb Blaisdell, with the Winchester Repeating Arms Company, writes that he and Mrs. B. are planning to be in Hanover in June.

Howard O. Stearns and Mabelle North are at home January 1 at 565 Orange St., New Haven, Conn. What are you doing in New Haven, Howard?

Otto Grow has sworn off smoking, but judging from his practice in former years he will have renewed the habit and consequently his equilibrium in time to be with us in June. Otto is our new classmate, our newest "debenture" (one just introduced into 1915).

Were you able to spell 24 horizontal—the possessive in eleven letters?

This is one year when apathy and disinterest in 1915 and Dartmouth have no place. The large number of names that appear as sure arrivals at Hanover in June assures us all that the party will be a success. Why not have 250 men? There are certainly 250 out of 400 classmates that would like to be with us, and with some effort that number could come. Do not ask Johnnie Johnson to invite you again, but write him that you will be there.

Secretary, 18 Day St., Norwood, Mass.
