CLASS OF 1921

1921 starts off the fall with one change in the line-up of officers. During the summer Frank Ross, who for the last five years has been class agent for the Alumni Fund, notified Ort that he felt he could no longer devote the time necessary for the work and that he was therefore handing in his resignation. In his place Ort has appointed Cory Litchard of Springfield, Mass., and you will hear considerable from Litch later in the year. In the meantime the officers wish to express for the class their appreciation and thanks to Frank for the time and effort he has spent in the interest of the class and the College in the period he served as class agent.

At least one member of the class recently has figured in a story which drew an eightcolumn newspaper headline, but we will wager that he does not care to repeat the experience nor will any other Twenty-oner desire to gain publicity the same way. Norm Kadison was held up and robbed of $130,000 in diamonds in a Chicago hotel on September 2. We'll let the Chicago Daily News, which carried the details under the streamer "$130,000 Gem Robbery in Loop Hotel," tell the story. Its account was as follows:

"A $130,000 diamond robbery in a room on the eleventh floor of the new Palmer House was reported to the police today by Norman Kadison, son of an important New York jeweler. Kadison said two robbers held him up in his room, took away his jewels, and left him tied and gagged on his bed, while they rode calmly down to the lobby to escape unsuspected. "Kadison's shrieks as he threw open the door of his room after wriggling free from his bonds gave the hotel its first intimation of the robbery. Kadison had come here as the agent of Lazarus K. Kadison, a jeweler at 1650 Broadway, New York, he told the police. He carried unset diamonds, many of them weighing two and three karats each, for sale to Chicago j ewelers.

"Last night, he said, he deposited the diamonds in a vault in the hotel offices. He got them out after breakfast this morning and then went back to his room. He carried the stones in a diamond belt, he said. As he closed the door of his room behind him two 'well dressed' young men stepped from hiding. One of them had a gun.

" 'They made me take off the diamond belt,' Kadison said. 'Then they tied me to the bed and gagged me. It took me some time to get free. By that time they must have been out in the street'."

Two members of '21 are assisting with football at Hanover this fall. Dr. Norm Crisp is helping Jess Hawley with the varsity as line coach, and Brainy Bower is one of those in charge of recreational football. This winter Brainy will be head coach of varsity and freshmail hockey. He was made a member of the faculty as an instructor in physical education last spring by the board of trustees. Norm, in addition to his football work, is serving as resident physician at the Mary Hitchcock hospital in Hanover.

Speaking of hospitals, enough items have come in in the last few weeks about '21's doctor's to convince us that the class is well represented in the medical world. Dr. Nels Barker is now located in Rochester, Minn., where he is associated with the Mayo clinic. Nels was married April 6 to Miss Florence Buswell of Evanston, Ill.

Two of the doctors have gone far afield. Dr. Art Duryea is in charge of the Samuel Mahelona Hospital at Kealia in the Hawaiian Islands. Art reports the birth of a daughter, Miss Suzanne Alice Duryea, in Kealia, May 7.

Dr. Pud Walker has also heard the call of the Hawaiian sands, and is resident physician at a tuberculosis hospital in Honolulu. He reports his marriage, April 4, 1925. He states that he did not choose one of those ukelele playing Hawaiian maidens, but neglects to give his wife's name. He and Art hold a Dartmouth reunion all their own out there whenever they get a chance, and are anxious to greet any Twenty-oners who stray that far from the beaten track.

Dr. Jim Smead finished his hospital internship July I, and is now out on his own in Springfield, Mass. Dr. Earl Kavanaugh finished his internship at the Ellis Hospital, Schenectady, N. Y., August 1, and has gone into the surgery game in Schenectady. Dr. Ernie Wilcox is rapidly building up a large practice in Pleasantville, N. Y., one of New York's suburbs.

Dr. Ransom Wells is now located at the Illinois Central Hospital at Paducah, Ky.

Allen Brailey, who is on the way to join the doctor's ranks and is now at the Harvard Medical School, reports the arrival of Miss Joan Brailey on May 2. He promises to bring her to the Tenth.

"Coot" Carder now has a second son, Earl Weston Carder, Jr., who was born in New York July 1. "Coot" is still selling bonds in the New York district.

Don Sawyer also reports a new member of the family. Miss Mary Louise Sawyer was born July 25. Miss Sawyer made her bow in St. Louis, where Don is now representing the American Thread Company in the "BillionArea."

Chan Symmes, who is a dealer in hay, grain, and straw in Winchester, Mass., and Ross Shepardson, who is in the lumber business in the Boston district, both joined the 1926 list of Proud Fathers last spring, when they became the dads of boys.

Another Twenty-oner to be presented with a son recently is Russ Goodnow. Russell J. Goodnow, 3d, was born June IS, so Russ missed the mighty Fifth in a good cause. Russ moved back to Boston from Chicago last winter, soon after his father died very suddenly in January. He is now associated with his brother in the Hardware Products Company, Boston, manufacturers of gears, springs, pulleys, and hangers.

The Rev. Hugh Penney also has a new son, Hugh Burrill Penney, born May 6 in Providence, R. I., where Hugh, Sr., is pastor of the Plymouth Congregational church.

Don Smith checks in with the news that he is now located in Turners Falls, Mass., where he is associated with the Keith Paper Company after preliminary work-outs with the United Drug Company and Carter, Rice and Company in Boston. Don has a daughter nearly three years old, Miss Jean Chester Smith.

The members of '21 are steadily coming to the fore in alumni circles. At the annual meeting in Hanover in June Joe Vance was elected a member of the executive committee of the Alumni Association, and last spring "Skinny" Moore was made secretary of the Dartmouth "Of the Plains" Association, which has its headquarters in Omaha. The report has just come in, however, that "Skinny" recently moved to Cleveland. We have not had time to confirm it, but will do so before the next issue.

Jack Hubbell has been made a member of the board of governors on the new Dartmouth College Club of New York. Other Twenty-oners on committees of the club are Tracy Higgins on the membership committee,, Ralph Steiner on the library committee, and Ort Hicks on the entertainment committee. A bulletin issued September 1 showed '21 represented in the club with 34 resident members and S non-resident members, and the membership drive not over.

Speaking of Hubbell, Ort Hicks asserts that he had to hire two extra secretaries just to answer the 'phone during the recent national lawn tennis championships, when his office was swamped with calls seeking the identity of the John W. Hubbell who was eliminated early in the tournament. Ort assures us that while Hubbell is an excellent bridge player and threatens at any moment to tackle the vigorous sport of pinochle, he does not yet attempt championship tennis. Jack is now associated with the Butterick publications, and expects to spend the fall covering the New England area, but will keep his headquarters in New York. As Dartmouth plays all of its football games but one in New England this fall, Jack has shown rare judgment in his field of activity.

The last few months have revealed heavy inroads on the ranks of the class bachelors. Speedy Fleet, having hurled a mean ski boot at George Harris' wedding in June, tried out the receiving end of that merry sport at Mooers, N. Y., on August 14, when he was married to Miss Evelyn Sample, Smith '23. Oky O'Connor was among the attendants. Speedy and his bride are living in Cutchogue, L. I.

On September 20 Paul Belknap and Miss Carli Arlene Reddout, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles A. Reddout, were married in Evanston, 111. They will live in Bellows Falls, Vt., where Paul assists his father in the publication of the Bellows Falls Times.

Mr. and Mrs. William Hamm of St. Paul have announced the marriage of their daughter Miss Marie Josephine Hamm to Pick Ankeny. The marriage took place in St. Paul August 25. Mr. and Mrs. Ankeny will reside in Minneapolis.

Dick Libby and Miss Josephine Glascock, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Bedford Glascock, were married at Bollingbrook, Upperville, Va., on June 15. They are living in New York, where Dick is connected with the Western Electric Company.

Dave Trainer was married to Miss Elizabeth R. Moyer of Lockport, N. Y., in Lockport, August 18. Dave is now a member of the Cornell faculty in the geology department. He took his bride to Hanover on their honeymoon to show her where, those green-jerseyed elevens that have caused so much gloom in Ithaca lately come from.

News has finally drifted east of the marriage in Kansas City, Mo., February 10 of Miss Elsie Alice Smith of Kansas City and Tom Staley. Harry Staley '24 was his brother's best man, and Luke Boggess, the other "Kappa Sig twin," was on hand to see that Tom was properly married. Mr. and Mrs. Staley are living in Kansas City, where Tom is connected with the Staley Milling Company. Mrs. Staley is a graduate of National Park Seminary.

Two more Twenty-oners are on the verge of deserting the bachelors' ranks although no dates have been set for the weddings. Mrs. George Jacobus of Brooklyn, N. Y., has announced the engagement of her daughter, Miss Margaret Atherton .Jacobus, to Lovell Cook. Miss Jacobus is a member of the class of 1927 at Smith. Lovell is still in the insurance game in New York with the Royal Indemnity Company. The engagement has also been announced of Miss Louise Wight of Boston to Larry Boardman, the Cambridge, Mass., banker.

The trustees of Dartmouth have recently promoted Franklin McDuffee. to an assistant professorship of English.

Jim Wicker has been seeing America with the W. T. Grant Company. He is at present stationed at Houston, Texas, and in the two years he has been with this firm he has also held' posts at Baltimore and New Orleans. Leon Bateman and Joe Dale are also with the Grant Company, and Jim reports that other recent classes are well represented.

Bob Elsasser is now a member of the Dartmouth clan in the sunny South, having joined the faculty of the College of Commerce and Business Administration of Tulane University in New Orleans with the opening of the present college year.

The class radio fans in the vicinity of Boston had a chance to hear a Twenty-oner on the air last summer, when Harland Manchester gave a talk from WBZ on "Psychology in Sports." Harland is a feature writer for the Sunday department of the Boston Herald, and has won a wide following with his weekly articles.

Hanover is becoming more and more a vacation center—at least as far as 1921 is concerned. During the last week in August a week's house party was staged at the Alpha Kappa Kappa house, with the following Twenty-oners on hand: Mr. and Mrs. Ort Hicks, Mr. and Mrs. Roger Wilde, Mr. and Mrs. Dan Ruggles, Bord Helmer and Earle Carder. Golf tennis, swimming, Nugget movies, and intensive eating at the Inn were the order of the day. Tom Norcross made the trip over from Sunapee for a day during the week, and Chick Stiles joined the party the last da}- or two. The evening festivities were raised to a high plane by the addition of Profs. Bob Elsasser and George Frost to the ranks on several occasions.

Dr. Walter Wolfe has been attracting considerable attention in Europe for his work in the field of psychiatry. He spent the summer in Paris doing research work and he expects to accompany Dr. Alfred Adler of Vienna on his forthcoming lecture tour of the United States. He will be an assistant to Dr. Adler during the tour. Afterwards he plans to settle in New York, where he will open an office. Walter was recently elected to a fellowship in the Royal Society of Medicine of London. He is at present engaged in writing with Dr. Adler "Principles of Individual Psychology," which will appear this winter.

Copies of The Smoker sent out to the following men came back undelivered, and any information as to their whereabouts will be appreciated : Nate Brown, Francis Daniels, Elliott May, Paul Smith, Andrus Valentine, and John Woodward.

A sketch of the life of Carl Bache-Wiig who died in Albuquerque, New Mexico, May 30, will be found in the Necrology section of this issue. The class is indebted to Dick Hill for this sketch.

) This issue is being sent out to all of the alumni by the College, but if you want to keep up with the activities of '21 men throughout the year you'll have to mail two dollars for class dues to Ned Price at 106 North Fourth St., Reading, Pa. Don't forget that your dues now include a year's subscription to the ALUMNI MAGAZINE. And here we'll turn the notes over to Ned himself, and let him have the final say, as follows: "Under the agreement made during reunion each man who paid the reunion tax at Hanover has been credited on the class books with $3.00 from the surplus. That, of course, takes care of the current dues, and it leaves $1.00 as a nest egg for the future. But a good many of those who were lucky enough to get to the reunion sent in their dues in ignorance of the surplus. So far not one of them has taken advantage of the opportunity to have his money refunded. They prefer to have their payments stay in the treasury, so as to leave them still $3.00 ahead of the game, this balance to be used in case they forget to pay their dues some time in the future.

"That should be a good example for the others. If you paid the tax at Hanover, you do not have to pay dues this year in order to receive the ALUMNI MAGAZINE. But if you feel you can spare $2.00 now, why not send it in and insure yourself against a possible future lapse ?

"Much the same situation applies to the men who have paid their subscriptions directly to the ALUMNI MAGAZINE. AS under the group plan of subscriptions the rate is slightly reduced, we hope to get a rebate from the MAGAZINE in those cases, so that the class will get its share of the $2.00 paid. But most of them have already seen fit to voluntarily pay an additional $2.00 for dues.

"Although they have been given a credit against future dues on account of their payments, these men did not expect it. They paid their money simply with the desire to help support the class organization, knowing that they world get the MAGAZINE anyway.

"Is it fair to try to let them carry the load for the rest of you?"
