CLASS OF 1906
At a recent meeting of the executive committee a step was taken which will ensure the success as regards attendance and a good time for the twentieth reunion in June, 1926. Nat Leverone was appointed reunion commissioner extraordinary to handle the 20th reunion. If anyone in the country has successfully handled more Dartmouth reunions, banquets, and powwows than Nat has we've not heard of it. The class is to be congratulated on acceptance of the undertaking in addition to the many other activities which he has under his care.
Don Mclntire is in charge of the home building department of the Sears Roebuck Company with offices at 30 North Dearborn St., Chicago.
Clarence W, Tourtellotte has his hands full in Vancouver as chief, clerk to the general agent of the Canadian Government Mercantile Marine Limited. Turtle's responsibilities were considerably increased when the government took over the railways, and his is now in the new railroad station of the Canadian National Railway. The Secretary enjoyed a mighty pleasant evening with Turtle, his wife, and two girls, both of whom are in school and anticipating that Daddy will bring them all East for the reunion of 1926.
Leigh Martin says that he doesn't handle all the fruit and vegetables that come through Portland, Ore., but we are given to understand that Leigh handles quite some bunch of it, as the Martin Brokerage Company. Leigh's daughter Elizabeth has been for three years captain of the school basket-ball team, and his other daughter Mary Aileen is captain of the freshman basket-ball team. Both Leigh and his good wife are expected to be in Hanover for the big time.
Harry Higman still devotes most of his time to the machinery house of A. H. Cox: and Company, 307 First Ave. South, Seattle, Wash. Harry is secretary and treasurer of the company, and also has a ranch where he plays when business permits. Harry has already applied for transportation from Seattle to Hanover next year.
If anyone doubts that 1906 is not alive in southern California let him drop in at the weekly luncheon of the Dartmouth Club of Southern California held at the Pig and Whistle any Monday noon. Tubby Laton is president of this thriving organization and Charlie Milham secretary. Tubby has climbed high on the rungs of the ladder of medical fame in his work of pediatrics (note to nonLatin scholars—this has to do with children, not feet). Tub recently moved his lares and penates, also wife and little daughter Margaret Eames Laton, into his new house at 359 South Vergil Ave., Los Angeles.
Charlie Milham controls the destiny of the All Year Club of Southern California. The next time you see a page advertisement in the Saturday Evening Post extolling the virtues of Southern California and signed by the All Year Club, remember this is Charlie calling. The All Year Club was born in Charlie's fertile brain. It was nourished and developed to its present full strength by Charlie, and let it be said here in all seriousness that the credit for the growth of this section of the Golden State of California belongs to no one man more than to the efforts of Charles G. Milham. With his wife and Elizabeth 14, Virginia 12, and Charles V. E. 12, Charlie makes his home in Altadena, a charming plateau almost at the foot of Mount Wilson.
Norman Russell, president of the New England Foundry Men's Association, delivered the principal address at a recent purchasing agents convention. This oration was printed verbatim in the New England Purchaser. In his spare time lately Norm established a rotary club in Amesbury, of which he has been persuaded to act as president.
Dr. A. D. Holmes, in charge of the research laboratories of E. L. Patch and Company of Stoneham, Mass., has recently had one of his papers entitled "Cod-Liver Oil And Its ByProducts" reprinted from the Journal of theAmerican Pharmaceutical Association. Doc has broken out in print considerably within the last year or two.
The Secretary enjoyed a good visit with Roy Owen, president of the Roy M. Owen Company, insurance, in Detroit recently. Roy has had the great misfortune of losing his wife, who had been a semi-invalid for some years.
Ike Paul, Lieutenants Colonel, is taking a finishing course in the general staff school at Fort Leavenworth, where he will be until the end of June. When Ike finishes this course in June he will be a full colonel.
Who should drop in the other day but Howard Cheney. Howard is with the Columbian National Life Insurance Company in Boston, and lives at 18 Lakehill Ave., Arlington, Mass. We hadn't seen Howard at any reunions lately, which is explained by the fact that Mrs. Cheney has not been well for a long time.
Shorty Davis spent a part of the early spring in Cuba, as it is Shorty's custom to get away from at least a part of Boston's winter climate. Shorty is a director and treasurer of the W. A. D. Syndicate, operators of Manitoba Copper Company, Ltd., Central Manitoba Mines Company, and Manitoba Gold Mines, Ltd., whose offices are in Winnipeg, and is now in England on the company's business.
Bucky Kraft at Kansas City gave the Secretary a good example of Western pep one Sunday afternoon. On account of a blizzard the Secretary's train was twenty-four hours late, getting him into K. C. Sunday afternoon instead of Saturday morning, thus necessitating the loss of a whole day. Bucky saw the point, got the party we wanted to see, and put us on the 6 o'clock train, after a flying visit to Bucky's home to meet his wife, George 5, and Arthur 3, at 6S4S Edgewood Ave. They will all be in Hanover in 1926. In riding to the train Bucky stopped long enough at Maynor Brock's, 4033 Hyde Park Ave., Kansas City, for us to say "Hello" and "Goodby" to Brock. Maynor still continues his work at the Country Day School, and has four husky youngsters.
Bug Gardiner stopped a few hours in Boston recently, renewing old acquaintances on his way to South America. Bug started construction work on a railroad in the wilds of Colombia a couple of years ago, and is on his way back to finish the job. For the next two or three years, Bug's address (with the exception of time off for the 1926 reunion) will be as follows: William H. Gardiner, % The Winston Bros. Co., Apartado 24, Medellin, Department de Antioquia, Colombia, S. A.
Sammy LeGro is president of Thompson Brothers, Inc., the clothiers of Bath, Me. Sammy says he hopes that any of the gang motoring down through Maine this summer will stop in long enough to say "Hello."
Joe Chase, who has spent most of his time since graduation in the South, is general manager of the Roanoke Rapids Power Company.
Frank Eastman has already made reservation for the 20th reunion. Frank is with Ganne.tt, Seelye, and Fleming, engineers, in their Harrisburg, Pa., office.
Albert H. Stone is president of the Nichols and Stone Company, manufacturers of Windsor chairs, Gardner, Mass.
Gene Smith is now with the Treasury Department in the office of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, Washington. Gene has changed his home address to 3107 Hawthorne St, N. W„ Washington, D. C.
Got a good line lately from Van Dusen Fishback. Van has been in the Far West ever since graduation, handling real estate, loans, and insurance with Horace Fishback & Sons, Brookings, South J)akota.
Joe Tufts was on hand to bid Bug Gardiner "Bon Voyage," and has recently been elected assistant secretary of the Massachusetts Fire and Marine Insurance Company of Boston.
Got a line from Wilder Montgomery the other day. Monty has been teaching in Washington nearly all the time since graduation, and unless something unforeseen happens he expects to be in Hanover in June, 1926.
Albert G. Heyhoe is the Craven Laycock of Doane College at Crete, Neb. We're given to understand that Heyhoe makes a mighty fine dean, too—well, as we said before, he's the Craven Laycock of Doane.
Freddy Welch is another standard bearer of 1906 in the realm of higher education. Freddy is at the State College, at Pullman, Wash., pounding the various branches of surveying into the embryo engineers of the Far West. Freddy says it is a fine democratic institution out there, and he wishes that some of the boys from the East would stop off on their way to the Coast.
Very extra special announcement! Just as we are going to press comes the announcement of the engagement of Nat Leverone and Miss Martha Evelyn Ericsson, daughtter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Ericsson of 534 Surf St., Chicago. Miss Ericsson was graduated from St. Mary's at Knoxville. The marriage will take place the latter part of June. Hearty congratulations—to both of you.
Secretary,1531 Center St., Roslindale, Mass.
