We are still able to give important news of the. class members—but if more of you boys don't get in touch with me, our class news in the Bulletin will dwindle rapidly. Write me a letter today where you park your hat and earn your bank roll for the Night Clubs; and give a listing of any members of your family that may be headed for Dartmouth or the various bobbed hair institutions of this nation.

Charlie Biddle is still in the land of chop suey and laundrymen as part of the International Banking Corporation.

R. P. Pollard is out in India with the Standard Oil Company.

Paul Halloran (Lt. U. S. N.) is last reported on government duty in Haiti.

Recently seen on Fifth Avenue, New York, was one "Stewie" Russell driving a brand new Packard car. He is in the hardware business with his father in Holyoke, Mass.

Cappie Jackson is now in charge of the Pittsburgh plant of the Ward Baking Company, which is no mean job. It is the second largest plant which this company operates.

Freddie Nolan was in town recently, and acted as though the cigar business was still far from the end of the rope. (Not a wise crack.) Wanted—Correct Addresses for

Ray Legg, P. C. Goettel, W. C. Grant, D. S. McQuiston, Gene Neely, Edgar C. Wright, M. W. Conkling, Will I. Levy, D. L. Adams, H. G. Curran, Wallace Wright, and W. L. Allen.

Don Finlayson was married June 16.

Arch Ranney is in Cleveland with Pick and Mather Company. He has a young daughter, who Archie claims is a lively terror on wheels.

1919 activities in New York during the past six months have been rather limited, but starting next fall we hope to get together more frequently. Last November we had a fine class dinner with all the customary 1919 pep. The spring dinner held at Keen's Chop house last month was not as well attended as usual, but was a very enjoyable affair. Eddie Fiske was on hand,—we can always count on him,—Dick Dudensing, "Gin" Mullen, Bob Paisley, Jimmie Davis, Hal Parsons, Vaughan Little, Alec Henderson, Norm Sterling, Stewie Wark, Clarence Buttenwieser, Lowell McCutcheon, and George Rand. Our newest arrival in New York, Johnnie Goss, formerly of Berlin, N. H., and parts north, attended his first class dinner in the big city, and was duly initiated.

Among the visitors from out of town recently are noted Robbie Robinson from Pittsburgh, who incidentally attended the last class dinner, (We recommend Wildroot or something similar for Robbie, otherwise by the 10th reunion he can count 'em on one hand) Norm Jeavons, secretary of the Cleveland gang, and one of the live wires in the Dartmouth Club there, Freddie Ives from Chicago, slightly more corpulent than usual, and with a new line of stories better than ever.

Horace Hitchcock broke into the front pages of the metropolitan papers last month as one of the prosecuting attorneys in Earl Carroll's '"bath tub case." Horace must be an expert regarding bath tubs, as he was on the winning side.

The list of bachelor 1919'ers is slowly shrinking, the two latest prospects, for the holy state of matrimony being our tireless Alumni Fund agent, Spider Martin, and Paul Clements, exman-about-town, and the pride of Ticonderoga.

Harry Hall, 'l9's representative on the Stock Exchange, yachtsman, etc., got considerably scorched a short time ago when something on his boat blew up, and as a result Harry resembled a cross between a beet and a boiled lobster. Another yachtsman is Bill Picken, who, with Bob Paisley as first mate, burns up the surrounding waters.

Tom Bresnahan and Dick Dudensing are churning up the local fairways constantly this spring, and both are shooting in the low 80's and high 70's. This will serve as a warning to anyone thinking of taking them on.

Louis Stone (yes, this is our old friend Louis Cohen) has deserted the Happiness Candy Stores, and his present occupation is unknown. Among the class insurance experts are numbered Hal Parsons, Jack Clark, and John Goss. Wall Street claims Heinie Siegbert, Bill Hooven, Art O'Neill, Norm Sterling, Harry Hall.

The class bankers in New York are Howie Webster and Ed Warnke. During the past winter Florida has inveigled Chet Gale and Buddie Curran. Chet was in several tennis tournaments there, and made a good showing.

Among the New Yorkers of whom we don't see very much are Lew Garrison, Tommie Dain, (we find it impossible to get Tommie out of Peekskill) Bill Goldberg, one of our legal men, Dr. Larrie Hanlon, Pat Leonhard, who refuses to come in from Passaic, Bob Newcomb, Kel Pette, Sam Sheldon, long lost in the wilds of Brooklyn, and Dick Werfelman. If they would only- come to one of our famous dinners, we will guarantee they will come again. This will serve notice on these men that they are expected next fall. Bri Greeley has not been around lately either.

Ken Huntington and Harry Colwell are still the leading real-estaters of New Rochelle. Among the other Westchester residents are Brooks Brown, Main Sandoe, another 'l9 lawyer, and Mai Drane, the prominent clothier (advt).

Art Palmer is with the telephone company and living in town. Dr. Dan Featherston is taking care of the sick in Asbury Park, and was up for one of the hockey games last winter.

The new Dartmouth Club of New York is on its way to being a reality and is expected to be open next fall. This should serve as a meeting place for the class, and for out-of-town 'l9ers.

King Cole is now in Fall River, Mass., with the Fall River Herald.

Speaking of lively children, Russ Potter has a young son that is fast learning to tell Pop where to head in. I think that's why Russ is shouting more about his young daughter, born about two months ago. Russ figured his wife would be chaperoning so many house parties at Dartmouth that he wants to fit with Nancy so he can go stag down to Smith.

Phil Bird was last seen writing this, and wondering whether it was easier to stick to the stationery business in Boston or turn class agent and try to round up more news.
