Class of 1911

The class has enjoyed the annual football reunions, which have now become almost a tradition. Informal get-togethers of the class have- been held at the games throughout the fall, in Hanover as well as at the Yale game in New Haven. The more formal get-togethers, however, were reserved for the Harvard game, where the dinner for the men was held on the night before the game, and for the men and wives, following the game, at the University Club. Sixty men were present at the class dinner, which was held in conjunction with a number of the other classes in college with us, in the main dining room of the City Club. At the University Club, ninety men and wives were present for the dinner and dance. Of course, President Agry came on from Chicago with some of his 1911 cohorts to furnish protection, and presided on both occasions.

It is good news from Perce Deshon that, after having heen the victim of a serious stomach trouble for about ten years, he has just left the Mayo Clinic after a year's visitation with them and his third operation, which was entirely successful, and that after three months' recuperation he will be as well as ever and better than most of us. So now he is all set for the Twentieth.

Ted Brown appeared at the Brown game with his bride, acting like an old-timer who had been married for years. We may now expect to see Ted and wife with us on all future occasions.

And speaking of brides, our long time bachelor, "Chuck" Benton, on Wednesday, September 22, did marry one Grace Millicent Chappelle, and they will be at home to all 1911ers after November IS at 153 Fuller St., Brookline, Mass.

The Yale game again brought the class in touch with Harry Waterhouse, who is now with the Shattuck Company in New York city. He has been with them since March, 1925, building a new factory and warehouse and equipping both for business.

'"Coke" Holdman kicks through with his class dues and the news that he is now at Camas, Wash.

Bob Keeler is dealing in high numbers, since his new home is located at 21006 Brantley Road, Shaker Heights, Ohio.

Jack McDonald was much disgusted because he has not been receiving the ALUMNI MAGAZINE. Now, however, that we have his new address of 2013 New Hampshire Ave., Washington, D. C., he will get the news of all the boys, we hope, without further interruption.

I don't know whether Deac Trask has sold his book or not, but anyway, he is living meanwhile at 37 East 57th St., New York city. We do hope that he will at least get around to call on some of us before he again leaves the country.

On Sunday afternoon, October 21, our good classmate, Bob Barstow, at the invitation of the College, conducted the service in Rollins Chapel. As usual, Bob did a good job, and it is easy to understand why it is necessary for him to have a larger church in order to allow his congrega- tion to remain seated during the main part of the service. Incidentally, Bob is in demand at present as a broadcaster of the Madison broadcasting station. Communications may be secured by tuning in on Station WIBA. Also, mention has not been made of the fact that Bob was honored recently at Ripon College at its 75th anniversary, by being the recipient of the. honorary degree of Doctor of Divinity. The following kind words accompanied the presentation of the degree: "A Dartmouth man of the third generation, a Congregational minister of the third generation, a teacher in the schools of Turkey, a pastor of two New England churches, and now the beloved and successful pastor of the First Congregational church of Madison, gathering hundreds of students under his ministration, and having given to the college and city of Ripon in an extended sojourn the inspiration of his intellectual honesty and spiritual vitality."

Sarge Eaton and wife took occasion to celebrate his entrance into a new job, by a visit to Hanover recently. Sarge has entered the firm of Howland's big department store in Bridgeport, Conn. Here you may find him located in his sanctum at 1154 Laurel Ave.

In Cedar Rapids, lowa, the leading papers are printed in the bright colors of pink, green, etc. On one of these occasions they carried the picture of Horace Hedges, who had just been elected president of the Chamber of Commerce. This office, subject to good behavior, is for the period of one year.

The recent edition of "Who's Who" is larger than ever. In fact, another 191 ler by the name of Hal Burtt occupies space between the covers.

To those members of the class who were present at Whitefield, as well as to all who were unable to go, it should be of interest that the punch bowl, tray, and ladle, properly inscribed, have finally reached their point of destination, as is indicated by thp following telegram received from the Dodge family:

"The punch bowl is just received, and we are greatly touched and deeply appreciative. Its beauty and its usefulness will be a constant reminder of our dear associations with Dartmouth and Nineteen Eleven. May the hospitality and good cheer of which it is a symbol be always ready at Mountain View for every member of the class."

Secretary, Hanover, N. H.
