Class of 1911
The sad news of Roy Barnhardt's death on November 24 has just come to the ears of the Secretary. Further notice regarding Roy will be found on another page of the MAGAZINE.
"Windy" Batchelor, who officially is known as president of the Arkansas Lumber Company and who resides in Kansas City but whose business connection is in Guthrie, Okla., has left these United States for Europe for a few months in the interests of his business. "Windy" is a lawyer as well as business man,, as he got the degree of LL.B. from the Kansas City School of Law in 1916, which fact I think he has secretly withheld from most of us to date.
Pat Partridge has been elected cashier of the State Bank and Trust Company of Hartford, Conn. This will be of interest to the boys who may need a little financial assistance now and then.
John Pearson has recently been elected treasurer of the First Investment Company, which does business in New Hampshire as an investment trust company.
Don Cheney has been elected president of the Florida Conference of Social Work. Don,, as you know, has been doing some very excellent work in the past few years as judge of the Juvenile Court, and it has been his work with the social workers of the state in this connection that has brought him into his new prominence. Incidentally, Frank Dodge writes that recently the Woman's Club of St. Petersburg was holding a large meeting in the ballroom of the Soreno' Hotel. As Frank looked through the mezzanine into the ballroom he found the speaker of the afternoon was none other than our own Don Cheney, addressing some four hundred women on the subject of juvenile courts. Frank says he is looking very well, and enjoyed a long visit with him and his family afterwards. Frank has had a successful season, as usual, at St. Petersburg, where they have specialized in turning away crowds whom they have been unable to accommodate.
A recent letter to George Morris from Tim. Vaitses sets forth some facts that are of unusual interest. Here's hoping the revolution will be over in time so Tim can come back: for our Fifteenth. This is what he says: "You may have learned by this time that we have been enjoying both a civil and a military revolution for the past three months, and communication with the outside world is slow and unreliable. When the first shot of this uprising was fired, our lawyer, who was considerably 'complicado' in the matter, took the first available train: for the frontier, and his whereabouts are unknown.
"Martial law has been proclaimed in this state until April 30, and if our attorney does not make his appearance before that date, I will send you a draft to cover your bill. At present the banks are closed and it is impossible to buy a draft.
"We are located in a very small town in the country, and hive had our telegraph and railroad communications cut off for two weeks at a time. All our letters are censored and no foreign newspapers allowed to enter the country, so I really did not know that Dartmouth had a football team this year.
"This town has been taken by the revolutionists twice, but I won't' give you any details as you probably wouldn't get this letter if I did. We haven't done a stroke of work for several months, but I hope that now that the revolution is wearing itself out we will be able to get going, as I want to get home this summer."
Arthur C. Theriault was married to Louise A. Bernardini at St. Augustine's church, Montpelier, Vt., February 10.
ATW-1911, station 44 Langdon St., Cambridge, Mass., announcing: mother, child, and new papa doing well; the event being the birth of Allan Thorpe Wheeler, Junior, on February 9.
I am sure the class will be interested to learn that Fred Harris, who has been confined to a sanitarium for some time, expects to be home soon. Fred has recently been elected vice-president of the National Ski Association of America, Inc., as a result of the affiliation of the United States Eastern Amateur Ski Association—of which he has been president— with the national body.
Secretary, Hanover, N. H.
