CLASS OF 1911
John Pearson is having a tough time trying to keep his record clean as one hundred percent Class Agent. Every year John has been successful in making the quota although he has gained many gray hairs from fear of failure which has been avoided only at the last minute. With the quota this year increased $450 it is more difficult than ever; moreover, the responses are coming in much slower than usual. We shall have to travel a bit to get a better man for the job than John but I am afraid that he will not care to continue unless we do our part by cooperating with him. In fact, I feel as though we almost had a responsibility for cooperation. At any rate, let's every one give him a lift.
Dick Paul writes that. he recently had the good fortune to run into Bill Plant in Boston. Bill is living at 59 Ossipee Road, West ville. Dick found he had a tremendous appetite for class news and listened to everything that Dick could tell him with great interest. Bill said that Tom was active in the shoe game in Manchester, N. H., where he has been for a number of years.
Dan Porter from Windsor, Vt., writes to our valiant treasurer that the ALUMNI MAGAZINE is great Stuff and is taking it upon himself to do his part toward retaining it for the class.
On January 1, "Chub" Sterling forsook the Saturday Evening Post and Ladies' HomeJournal to join the forces of Barton, Durstine & Osborn, advertising agents at 383 Madison Ave., New York.
Bostonians recently received a thrill in the shape of a visit from "Dutch" Irwin who delighted their hearts for a few minutes one afternoon. "Dutch" enjoyed the haven of rest for all Nineteen Eleveners, the Butts home in Newton. Chet says that he is the same old "Dutch" of yore.
Incidentally, "Dutch" carries along the story that Carl Hope has been married for a couple of years and has a youngster. Personally, I have not been able to get this much out of Carl but hope it is true.
The Washington Post recently carried a story of "Pug" Sanborn as follows:
"Harlan Sanborn, basketball coach at Tech High, has resigned his position at the school and will devote himself to the more profitable occupation of conducting motor tours through the South and West.
"Sanborn's basketball team in the last series was somewhat of a sensation and numbered victories over both of the favored quintets. Before coming to Tech, Sanborn was athletic director at Sherwood Forest and coached the Asheville School for Boys and Virginia Polytechnical Institute. His resignation will take effect within the next two weeks. Authorities at Tech have not yet named his successor."
"Back again" writes Harold Card, who says the sea breezes in Boston did not agree with him. He has returned as general manager of the Welding Engineer Publishing Co., 608 So. Dearborn St., Chicago, and is living at 5502 Cornell Ave.
Again taking the name of "Dutch" Irwin in vain, he advises that Rick Castle is married and that he is studying accountancy at the University of Denver. I have tried to check up on this but have not been able to prove a thing. Personally, it seems hard to believe.
On a recent trip as far south as Baltimore, the secretary saw a number of NineteenEleveners whom he has not seen since, college days, which was a gratification to one of us at least.
Lester Harding in Philadelphia is now in charge of the stock sales of Hare and Chase, insurance brokers, at. Third and Walnut Streets. I was sorry not to see Les's family but judging from the pictures of the wife and child it will be the class' loss if Les fails to bring them back to reunion as he now anticipates.
Frank Whitcomb and his wife were at the Dartmouth Musical Clubs' concert in Philadelphia and are all set for the Fifteenth. Both of them are still cursing the fate that they were unable to return to the Tenth, Frank, as the boys will remember, having had to undergo an operation just at that time.
Don Hoffman is track coach at Gilman's Country School in Baltimore. Don is doing this on the side, and judging from the meets that they are winning and the wholesome respect the boys have for him, he is doing a fine job. In his spare moments, Don devotes himself largely to the art of making some of the best looking bamboo fly and casting rods that I, as an expert fisherman, have seen for some time. Don has just taken an apartment on University Parkway opposite Johns Hopkins .College where he is still content to lead the life of a bachelor.
In Albany I found Ed Poole, Sam Aronowitz and Leo Muhlfelder all grimly determined to visit Hanover in a bunch at the time of the next Cornell game just so they may get set for June, 1926. What is more, Mrs. Poole is coming, too.
"Button" Raymond has been advanced from assistant manager to manager of Paine, Webber and Company in Boston.
Bob Shackford is again in Boston but I understand has not yet given up his home in California.
"Log" Jackson was recently seen passing out cigars as an acknowledgment of the birth of a daughter, Dorothy, on March 16.
Bert Dugdale has a tough time trying to get into class affairs in New York. He was all set for the Players' performance and dinner on April 3 but was unable to attend because of the severe illness of Mrs. Dugdale. Bert is with the Public Service Production Co., in Newark.
Larry Odlin is on his way home from the Philippines, saying he has had a fine cruise but will be glad to get back. His address after the middle of May will be Navy Supply Depot, South Brooklyn, New York. Larry is coming up to watch 1910- reune just to whet his appetite for one of his own the following year.
Secretary, Hanover, N. H.
