Class of 1925

Several of the January issues of The Dartmouth carried items of interest to 1925. In the one dated the tenth, under the heading "At Rollins Chapel," the first two lines were: Leader—R. B. Dwinell '25.

Subject—"Milwaukee: Quest for Reality in Prayer."

We do not take this to mean that Milwaukee as a city has become the spiritual rival of its southern neighbor, Zion, but rather that Stub addressed the gathering on the subject of the Christian Association conference held there during Christmas vacation.

The same sheet also announced the pledging of Ed Roessler to Sigma Alpha. We have not heard what Ed's occupation is now.

We start our monthly "Congratulation Column" with another excerpt from this issue. George Winger was married early in January to Miss Mary Curry Lehman at Kansas City, Mo.

Two 1925 engagements were made known to the College on the twenty-fourth. Ralph Gaskill, who is in Detroit at present, announced his engagement to Miss Ruthella Morse of Orford, N. H., and Harold McHenry announced his engagement to Miss Barbara Bridgman of Ayer, Mass.

The engagement of Karl King to Miss Eugenia Moore of Wilmette, I11., was also announced during the month of January. Karl, whose home is also in Wilmette, is in the insurance business in Chicago.

The following is from The Dartmouth of January 25:

"A. K. Laing '25 and R. A. Lattimore '26 are having published a book of Dartmouth verse entitled 'Hanover Poems.' It will contain poems which each of them has written about Hanover and the vicinity. With a very few exceptions which appeared in the Tower, none of the verse has been printed before. Laing and Lattimore, whose homes are in Hanover, wrote the majority of the poems while they were in Hanover last summer."

In a recent bulletin of the Dartmouth Club in New York there are listed among the new resident members Carl Washburn, "Red" Martin, Ray Guernsey, Wally Jordan, Pete Kelsey, Harry Clarke, and Chuck Graydon. Win Ed- gerly is among the many alumni who have recently visited the Club.

Speaking of the Dartmouth Club of New York, we would like to quote a paragraph from one of Bob Strong's weekly bulletins:

"That the Dartmouth Club of New York City will have a large membership is assured, if all methods of obtaining members are as effective as the one witnessed recently. Two sons of 1915 were renewing bygones before the Class Agents' dinner at the University Club. The one from Rhode Island w.as explaining 'I always stay at the Deke Club. The ginger ale and service is excellent.' Whereupon the Gotham son queried, 'Say, John, can I have $10?' With customary remarks the money was passed to the New Yorker, who, with a smile said, 'Now you're a member of the Dartmouth Club'!"

Milt Emerson, in writing of the difficulties overcome by Twenty-fivers in New York in organizing class dinners, remarked that one place they planned on was padlocked the night before the dinner, and another met the same fate immediately after. But they do get together, and there are now regular informal dinners at the Club, as well as luncheons on Wednesday every week.

We are going to steal bodily from Milt's excellent letter of January 13 :

"Last night the New York Alumni Association had its annual dinner at the Plaza. Twenty-five of our class sat together, and after putting away an excellent meal and listening to inimitable speeches such as only Doc Griggs and Dean Laycock can give, adjourned to lower quarters of the city where Terry McGaughan and Dutch Hendrian are so well known—to say nothing of President Bolles. Besides Chet is a model husband these days and is contemplating following Mussolini's policy by levying a tax on all bachelors—not of Italy but of '25—such is Chet's matrimoial bliss and his love for his classmates that he wants all to partake. Besides the above mentioned we were all glad to see Al Perkins and his beaming countenance, which has not been dimmed by his recent matrimonial venture but rather even more polished and shiny. Web Collins gave the rag business a short rest and was there. The complete list is as follows: Pete Kelsey, Bill Calvert, Walt Vom Lehn, Chet Bolles, Dutch Hendrian, Bob Harten, Terry McGaughan, P'ercy Williamson, Hawley Taft, Van VanOrman, Al Perkins, Don Kilby, Bob Hardy, El. Warner, Ed Dunlevy, Henry Oktavec, Herb Talbot, Frank Osgood, Deke Blodgett, Web Collins, John Roche, Red Martin, Jerry Gould, and yours truly.

"You probably know that Woody Wilson has -left New York for Philadelphia, where he is going to help Mr. Wilbur make 'Chocolate Buds.' Everybody is mighty sorry that Woody is no longer around, but expect to see him from time to time when he is in the city."

The Chicago .Alumni Association had its banquet January 28 at the University Club. Professor Lingley came from Hanover to give an excellent talk. About twenty-five of the regular Chicago 1925 bunch attended. This gang plans a dinner for February, and we hope to have more to tell you about them next month.

Another one of our contributors—on all of whom be the eternal blessing of Allah—writes thusly:

"Ed Griffin is in the hotel business here in Boston. Ken Hodgdon is still loafing after a year at Rutland Sanitarium with T. B. Has put on a lot of weight and seems to be on the road to mend. He is still living in Outing Club fashion up in Manchester, N. H. Hal McHenry is working in the textile mills in Ware, Mass. Jack Penney is running an ice business in Worcester. A1 Whitney is helping his dad make toys in Keene, N. H. Mark Emerson still holds forth as an instructor in Robert College, Constantinople, Turkey."

George Stevens is in Boston with Estabrook and Company, an investment house. Larry Welch, Norm Strickland, Ben Bowden, and Ken Hill are also in the financial district of Boston.

Clint Taylor is married, living in West Somerville, Mass., and working with the New England Telephone Company.

Fred Smith and Lou Kimball are both with the Frigidaire Corporation in Boston. Lou has recently been made sales supervisor, and Fred is assistant manager of sales promotion.

Don Lawson, who is living in Brookline, is with D. B. Purbeck and Company, Boston, dealers in shoe manufacturers' goods.

We have already mentioned that Bill Bunting is in Des Moines selling Comptometers, and that Sam Carlisle is there with the Western Newspaper Union. They got together recently, and as two Dartmouth men always make a reunion they had one.

Nate Bugbee, with Harris, Forbes and Company, spent a little time in Boston, and is now ack in Springfield with the same organization.

Secretary, Greenwood Inn, Evanston, I11.
