Class of 1911
A Christmas card from Russ Patterson down in Camp Marfa, Texas, sends greetings to 1911. Lifted from the New York Alumni Association Bulletin: "Another good Dartmouth man in the printin' business. Art Shepherd '11 associates himself with the Stilson Press on January 1 as head of a new department of printed salesmanship. Maybe that's not the correct title, but it's pretty near."
Several inquiries have been made recently with regard to Jim Conroy. It seems he was reported to have been in an automobile accident and seriously injured. Mrs. Conroy says that so many people have asked her about this that it is becoming somewhat of a joke. Jim says that if he is paralyzed, he wonders how a fellow feels when he is normal. He is inclined to think the report is . somewhat exaggerated.
The reason is not given, but it is reported that one of Carl Bowker's tenants, namely, the one for whom he was to empty the garbage, has given notice to move elsewhere. Hence all hopes for his reducing his avoirdupois have gone for naught, and we must still make room for him wherever he goes.
Our traveling 1911 representative, Charlie Stebbins, reports that Carl Hope is ill in the Lakeview Hospital in Cleveland. Here's wishing him good luck and a quick return to health.
An instance of another light hidden under a basket: Motor Vehicle Registrar Goodwin of Massachusetts recently had available two low number license plates, one of which was 1911. This he offered as a prize to that individual, who should be a graduate of some institution of the class of 1911, submitting the best essay on what is the best method to stop drunken driving. In response to this touching appeal, Bob Sanderson submitted an essay, for which he received honorable mention.
In a recent de luxe edition of a Concord daily paper, a page was devoted to John Pearson and the Chamber of Commerce of which he is president, quoting at length from the honorable president's address to the Chamber at its annual meeting.
Another traitor to the cause of bachelorhood. Ted Farnsworth on November 13 married Evelyn Mary Faller of Haverhill, Mass. Beginning with the New Year, their home is to be at 1197 Boylston St., Boston.
Those of you who still have your issue of the last class report, please lift bodily the names of Johnny Mayer and Harry Waterhouse from the list of inactives, placing them among those honorable gentlemen known as active members of the class.
Harry Horton likewise is becoming a most enthusiastic 1911 Dartmouther. He was instrumental in arranging a Dartmouth dinner recently in Rochester, Minn., where he and Bob Saxton did their best among the eighteen present to uphold the honor of 1911.
A cryptic 1911'er residing in Boston writes as follows : "Here's hoping that he is a better halfback than his father." The reference was made to one Jonathan Edwards Ingersoll, Junior, weight nine and a half pounds, who arrived safely on this earth on December 5.
It is gratifying to learn that Lin-Yi Ho has become one of the most influential members of the staff of Tsing Hua College in Peking. As secretary of the college his authority is next to that of the president. He anticipates a sabbatical leave of absence during this year, which he will spend in the States, bringing his family, consisting of a son of three years and a recently arrived daughter.
If the ALUMNI MAGAZINE were instead a small town local paper, there would appear therein the following: Card of Thanks We wish to thank all of our friends and classmates who during the recent holidays sent us many expressions of good will and cheer in our busy season. Nathaniel G. Burleigh Theodora T. Burleigh Barbara Burleigh.
Secretary, , Han- over, N. H.
