CLASS OF 1926
Comes the time for giving out class information, and the Secretary invites you to speculate for a few moments on a sad situation. A lad, a college boy, who went wrong and got a diploma. Classmates, where will Romulo Marsans, Jr., go since his graduation? Work will creep up on him, I fear. He can no longer laugh it off by enrolling for another year as an undergraduate. No, he must face the facts as they are, and stand forth to meet the world, a graduate of Dartmouth. And now, if we could have a word from Tiny himself, we might be able to wipe away our sympathetic tears longenough to hear what the boy is doing.
Now Bus Heydt succeeded in landing a job as an actor, and can be found playing in The Trial of Mary Dugan on Broadway. A long climb from Lord's Hill to Parnassus, but our hero of the picture fight has made it, and who are we to say that Bob Williams had to hand out a mighty line to convince the producer that Heydt was experienced?
Since we seem to be speaking of '26 men, take Dick Haywood, late of Harvard Law School. Not in Cambridge can we find him, but at the Evans School, Tucson, Arizona, a ranch school. Dick says that although he came through O. K. on the exams, as did Dick Nichols and Joe Donohue, he does not regard Harvard Law School as highly as some do. Says Haywood, "It (Harvard Law School) is a tremendously efficient stuffing school." Arizona will be a change.
Chippy Chipman, Tuck School '27, spent his summer gaming in the hotel game at Shelter Island, L. I. What part he played in the game is not made clear in his letter. He expects to continue it in the fall.
You knew, of course, that Herbert F. Darling was wed in September, and that the fortunate young lady was Miss Bertha Elizabeth Wilson of Toledo.
K. Weeks in a detailed account of his life to date says that he is in Boston University Law School, having resigned from the New England Telephone Company. _
Fred Gurney hastens to tell me that he is single and working in a retail jewelry store in Brockton, Mass. Of course a fellow wouldn't go into the jewelry business just to get a reduction on the ring—and Fred claims he has no other motives than a desire to learn the business.
Word comes of Herman (Tref) Trefethen, who, having gained thirty pounds and having put the S. S. Kresge Los Angeles stores in shape, took himself to Hollywood on August 17, and there was married to Miss Dorothy Foster Greene. And so it goes.
A few individuals were seen on the Hanover golf course and about the town during the summer. I don't know why, but a lot of chaps think of Hanover as a logical place for vacationing. Cleary and Jacobus romped the fairways, and so did Truesdale and Miller Pierce. Clyde Hall replaced his office pallor with some of that schoolboy complexion found in the hills. Red Merrill landed there around Labor Day after a summer of intensive study at Teachers College, Columbia University.
Other summer school scholars include Paul Allen at Columbia and Larry Kennison down at Brown University. Paul will continue his study in Greek and English this winter, and Larry will resume teaching at Brown. Dick Lattimore will go back to the University of Illinois to teach English.
Hay ward, Farwell, and Everett claim to have shot some pretty smooth golf this summer. From what I hear, Doug finds that you can't use a golf club as a hockey stick, nor is the pill a puck. (Confidential) I would say offhand that challenges were in order.
Per Merry crashed through with a letter to tell your secretary that his home village of Lexington, Mass., did not support a department store. That's true, I guess; Lexington is the place where they fired that shot that nearly everybody in the world heard. Anyway, Per is at Macy's in New York, and so are Bob Mclndoe and Bob May, and so was Max Whitman, but Max goes to Columbia Law School this winter.
Russ Newcomb has been editing the house organ of D. Appleton and Company, and Doc Heacox does something in the office of a paper company.
Nate landed at New York in August, claiming that he had a lot of studying to do for the summer. Nate returned for the fall term at Oxford October 6. He hopes to get together with Bob Breyfogle for the year, and so unite the forces of '26 men at Oxford.
Frank Knowles after a brief trip to Hanover returned to Wilmington, Del., to labor for E. I. DuPont in the chemical line.
Charlie Munson continues this year in medicine at Washington and Jefferson.
Dick Husband came through his year at Stanford with straight A's and his master's degree in psychology. He will stay on this year for work on the doctorate. Laugh that off, and then feel dumb.
Cobby Crosby and wife landed from a brief tour covering the world. Cobby returns to Topeka, Kans., for labor this fall. We imagine he will apply merchandising methods learned at Bangkok and Hongkong. Probably not.
