Class of 1921
The wedding bells ring- on, and gone from the ranks of the bachelors are Tommy Griffith, Dick Barnes, and Herm Noyes. The latter two some five years hence can rig up some reminder system to keep each other from forgetting their anniversary, for they both chose the same day, November 5, for their wedding.
Dick's bride was Miss Mildred Elizabeth Brown, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Arthur Brown, of Worcester, Mass. Their wedding took place in the Adams Square Baptist church in Worcester. Herm's wedding took place in Easton, Pa., and his bride was Miss Mary Estelle Hall of Easton. Tommy was married a week earlier, Saturday, October 29 to be exact, in East Dorset, Vt., and his bride was Miss 01ga Louise Olson. Mr. and Mrs. Griffith are living in Flushing, from which place Tom commutes daily to Macy's in New York.
And from the questionnaire cards come word of other weddings hitherto unreported. Russell Bailey and Miss Esther Abbey of Maiden, Mass., were married in Maiden May 4, 1927. They are making their home in Maiden at 24 Prospect St. Hilt Campbell and Miss Elizabeth Gleason of Hastings-on-Hudson, N. Y., were married June 11. They reside now in Yonkers, and Hilt commutes into New York, where he does expert accounting for Lybrand, Ross Bros., and Montgomery.
Larry Boardman, the Cambridge, Mass., banker, was married June 18 to Miss Louise Wight of Bolster's Mills, Me. The wedding took place in Wakefield, Mass., where Larry and Mrs. Larry now are "at home."
Vincent Paul O'Reilly, salesman extraordinaire for Johns-Manville products, married Miss Helen O'Halloran of Forest Hills, L.I., June 25. They live in Pleasantville, N. Y., famous as the home of two other Twenty-oners, Doc Wilcox and Carlton Sullivan.
Jim Frederickson, who called the University of Wisconsin his alma mater for three years and then switched to Dartmouth his senior year and became one of the Green's most loyal sons, married Miss Irene J. Francis of Worcester, Mass., in Buffalo, N. Y., August 29. They are living in Madison, Wis., where Jim is a contractor.
Another Twenty-oner from Wisconsin to join the married ranks recently is Ted Hartshorn. Ted married Miss Mary Reed of Milwaukee in Milwaukee June 4.
And still another of the boys has gone so far as to get himself engaged. Johnny Fitzgibbon, who, if we remember correctly, once answered the married question on one of the class cards with an emphatic never, has retracted at least a little, for Miss Margaret Mills of Bridgeport, Conn., recently announced her engagement to our John.
While "Bandy" Lowe answered our latest you-tell-me on marriage with the message, "Not yet, but slipping."
If you really want to know just how fine a town Springfield, Mass., is, just drop a line to Ernie Chapman, for Ernie is now secretary of the Springfield Chamber of Commerce and has all the dope you want right at his fingertips.
George Frost is seeing America first via the colleges. Last year he taught at Dartmouth, last summer he was a member of the faculty of the summer session at Columbia University, and now this fall finds him at Yale. George returns to the role of a student in New Haven, for he is doing some graduate work there while on a year's leave of absence from Dartmouth.
1921's quota on the Dartmouth faculty has been kept intact, however, by the arrival of Jack Hurd. Jack, who completed some graduate study at Oxford last year, is an instructor in the English department in Hanover.
A bulletin of home study courses recently issued by Columbia reveals as a member of their history department for these courses Erling M. Hunt, Dartmouth '21. Erling is also a member of the faculty of the Horace Mann school in New York.
Bill O'Connor has gone up another step on the ladder, and is now resident manager in Newark, N. J., for the Commercial Investment Trust Corporation.
Bob Burroughs has deserted factory management for insurance, and has moved back to Manchester, N. H., from Exeter. Bob is now connected with the National Life Insurance Company and is living at 753 Chestnut St., Manchester.
The Boston '21 crowd, augmented by some of the boys who were in town for the Harvard game, held a very successful dinner at Louis Cafe in the Hub on the eve of the classic battle in Cambridge. About 40 men turned out for this get-together, and among those from distant parts on hand were Bill Embree from Chicago, Joe Vance from Detroit, Eli Smith from the sunny South, Dan Ryder down from Vermont, and Hizzoner Mayor Sullivan from Manchester. After the gang had appeased their appetites, the party was adjourned to the City Club, where a Dartmouth football rally was in progress and where Jess Hawley and Rip Heneage were among the speakers.
The New York alumni had a block of staterooms on the Fall River boat sailing Friday evening before the Harvard game from New York especially reserved for Dartmouth men, and the Twenty-oners making the trip up in the Dartmouth party included Mr. and Mrs. Ort Hicks, Mr. and Mrs. "Coot" Carder, Jack Hubbell, Bob Wilson, and "Bandy" Lowe.
And needless to say the whole '21 crew enjoyed that victory over Harvard. The Boston bunch rather had it over us New Yorkers when it came to football games near at hand, for the Yale game was a disappointment, the old Eli bulldog being just too strong for the New Hampshire Indian this fall. There was a big delegation of Twenty-oners on hand in the Bowl for the game, and among those from outside of the Metropolitan district whom ye sec. spotted were Treasurer Ned Price over from Reading, Pa., Clint Cary, down from the Green Mountains, Dan Ryder, Con Beattie, Lorin Goulding, Johnny Sullivan, and Fran Cosgrove.
The class was host at a dinner for the alumni and their wives at Janssen's in New York Saturday night after the Yale game, and the affair was successful in spite of the fact that the game itself was hardly a cause of festivity. About 175 persons in all attended, and the representation included the whole gamut of classes from the older ones to the mere cubs.
Statistics complied under the supervision of that dean of all statisticians Mac Johnson from the cards received up to this writing reveal 54 youngsters who have Twenty-oners for dads. According to these figures Harry Trull leads with three youngsters, two boys and a girl. The latest addition to the Trull household is Harry Trull, Jr., born July 2 in Ardmore, Pa. Harry's other youngsters are Christopher, who is "going on five," and Lois, who is two.
Bill Floyd, honorary member of '21, checks in with news of a daughter, Miss Nancy Floyd, born in Manchester, N. H., May 17.
Hugh Penney, Doc Wilcox, and Francis Foster also have sent in word of the arrival of daughters. Miss Ruth Marcia Penney was born in Providence, R. 1., September 4; Miss Joan Wilcox made her bow June 19; and Miss Patricia Ann Foster first saw what little real daylight there is to be seen in Pittsburgh May 6.
Incidentally, in case you statistics hounds are interested, the records to date show more '21 youngsters headed for Smith, Vassar, and Mount Holyoke than Dartmouth. Of the 54 mentioned above 32 are girls and 22 boys.
Of the recent arrivals among the boys there are Roger Conant Wilde, Jr., born in Orleans, Vt., August 27; Vinton Arthur Corwin, born in Great Falls, Mont., July 27; Osborne C. Ward, Jr., born in Lewiston, Me., May 28, and Frank Elliot Bateman, born in Brockton, Mass., August 3. Of the last boy "Shorty" writes as follows: "Just now ain't very big, but, boy, wait till you see the football team in 1947."
And now, to give the ladies the last word, Miss Kendall Hosmer Ankeny, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Pick Ankeny, announces her arrival in our midst July 21, as does Miss Elaine C. Bausher, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. "Dutch" Bausher of Reading, Pa.
Dr. Walter Wolfe is resuming his talks over the radio with the start of the fall and winter season. His first talk, "The Nervous Child in the Home," was given over station WEAF, New York, October 24. Dr. Wolfe also addressed the New Era Club of New York in Town Hall recently.
It is with real regret that ye sec. reports that Steff Frederiksen has run into some hard luck. StefE's health isn't all that it should be, and he is up at Trudeau in the Adirondacks trying to get it back to normal. Steff announces cheerfully that "all is going well." And the whole class, man and boy, wishes him the speediest sort of a recovery.
Dick Libby has deserted Manhattan except for business hours, and now goes in for long distance commuting. His new home is in Darien, Conn., which is even out beyond that land where the Stamford locals come from.
"Doc" Fleming will be a real "Doc" by the time 1929 rolls around. "Believe it or not," 'Doc' writes, "but in June, 1929, yours truly will be signing his John Henry as Dr. J. M. Fleming." "Doc" is now at the University of Michigan Medical School. And he closes with the good news, "See you at the Tenth sure." The following has arrived in the mail from Boston, and shows that Dan Ruggles and his cohorts are again on the job:
WEEKLY CLASS LUNCHEONS START NEXT THURSDAY!
12.15 Noon at Locke-Ober Restaurant, No. 3 Winter Place (Next to Shepard Radio Store)
Private Room on third floor. Good food. Pay for what you eat—so you can't make expense the reason for staying away.
It is our idea to make these Thursday Luncheons a rendezvous for 1921 men. We want every one of you to come to each Luncheon. We expect that you'll at least come as often as possible. If everybody will come when they can, we ought to average twelve on hand each week, anyway.
Let's ALL turn out NEXT THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 3rd, and EVERY THURSDAY thereafter! !
Now before we hang up the old "Continued in Our Next" sign we'd like to suggest that, if that questionnaire card is still kicking around your desk, you fill it out and ship it along, for it's better late than never.
Secretary, , 7 Lotus Road, Larchmont Woods, New Rochelle, N. Y.
