Class of 1912

The response to the first letter from the Secretary has been most gratifying indeed, and while it is physically impossible to acknowledge receipt of each individual remittance or note you can be sure that your cooperation is duly recorded.

B. A. Hoban:—Thanks for your fine letter, "Bud," which was read by every one of the boys present at our usual monthly luncheon in New York at Shanley's on Wednesday, May 6. These were Jim Erwin, Carle Rollins, Al Eiseman, Tom Brennock, Fred Day, Al Smith, Doc O'Connor, Dooy Doolittle, Wally Jones, Mert Baker, and Garcia. We hear some very good reports of your work with the Oilman Country School at Roland Park, Md., and also want you to know that your kind Offer to use your "Camp Wallula" at New London, N. H., for our big 15th is appreciated, and will have full consideration at the hands of the reunion, committee yet to be" formed. Cecil P. Dodge:—Glad to hear from you, "Si." The boys around these parts all claim they are going to avail themselves of guest privileges at your Moody Club in Lowell, Mass.

Merton H. Baker:—"Bake" claims that he still has and uses the old corduroy pants which the honorable class of 1911 allowed him to Put on for the first time in the year 1909. Bake" says that the piece of sand paper that he had sewed on the right trouser leg to scratch matches on is BOW worn bald.

Robert Belknap:—Yours received, Bob, and nicely too, as I had just returned from Hanover where I met L. P. Benezet '99, who told, me that he had met you out in Connersville, Ind., and how responsible your activities had. become in the Lexington Motor Company there.

James K. Fitzpatrick:—Your corrected address as 101 Vance Apartments, Raleigh, N. C., is duly noted and it is a pleasure to have your good co-operation and very particularly to know that you will be with us at the 15th in 1927. -

Harold B. Beliher:—Tell Eddie Luitwieler that his records have been all checked over and found in very good shape indeed. Your Spanish is improving, "Belch."

Conrad E. Snow:—You say that Roy Lewis called on you at your office in Rochester, N. H., the other day, and in making his departure: therefrom went out through a glass door without bothering to open it, and you hasten to add that "Roy's condition was entirely 0.K." What kind of an office have you, anyway,. Connie, and what constitutes an O.K. condition for Roy Lewis? How is the door?

Geo. H. Farrington:—"Chip," when your Turner Construction gang of Philadelphia have nothing to do send them up to Hanover and get them working on an addition which is needed on the Gymnasium. The country is so beautiful and the air so wonderful that they ought to do the job just for the joy of. being able to be there.

Roscoe G. Geller:—lt was great to hear from you, Ros, and glad to know that your both boys are healthy and full of the devilCarle Rollins mentioned at the luncheon that he thought that- you as secretary of the Owego Chamber of Commerce ought to travel a bit and hold a few Chautauqua conventions on, the beauties on Tioga county, N. Y.

H. A. Bellows:—Thanks for your good, letter, Unc. It was one of the first received and represents just the kind of co-operation that makes this work a real pleasure. How is the lumber business in Springfield, Mass.?

Horace A. Colburn:— If Chip Farrington. sends the Turner Construction outfit up to Hanover the least that you can do is to have your F. R. Patch Manufacturing Company, of Rutland, Vt., through their machinery business get hold of the marble necessary to build a new library they need so badly at Dartmouth. Just think of the ad. to be able to say that that entire building was made of marble cut by your machinery.

E. L. Hartshorn:—Babe has agreed to act for our class in taking care of all such valuable records as we- might want preserved, such as valuable letters, pictures, etc. All the pictures which we can accumulate either from undergraduate days or after will be framed by Babe and kept in Hanover as a collection. Ait reunion time this collection will be given a proper display at our headquarters. Valuable papers and letters will be deposited in the vaults of the College. Any members who have any pictures pertaining to 1912 which they desire to donate to the class for this purpose are recommended to write to the Secretary with description in order to avoid duplication. Babe is also keeping his eyes open for material during the next two reunions.

Wallace T. Jones You haven't registered Wallace T., 3d, at Dartmouth. Sonny is now six years of age and Barbara four.
