Class of 1915

Probably the easiest thing to do is to spend somebody else's money or at least suggest how it shall be spent, and particularly easy when the causes for which the expenditures to be made are sound and the return on the investment good. Sufficient it is to recall that the class response to the Alumni Fund call last year was enough to discourage Johnny Mullin, Dick Clarke, TBill Huntress, and Turk Turner from any further effort. But they are our class agents again this year, so by responding promptly and generously to their appeals you will be aiding the college to which you are indebted,—or you wouldn't be reading these notes. After you have drawn your check for the Alumni Fund you have undoubtedly left a balance of five dollars. Just so long as there remains a dollar you will have credit with the bank, so draw out the difference and send it to Jack Bowler for class dues. If you have not all ready done so. Now you will not have to worry about money.

Among the bills which came the first of last month was an envelope which intution saved from consignment to the upper left hand desk drawer for future reference. The enclosed card contained the information that Russ Livermore has gone into partnership with Arthur L. Livermore and has set up shop at No. 74 Trinity Place, N. Y., of course, selling legal advice. This new arrangement surely guarantees the class an up-to-date, fool-proof constitution. Best of luck. Russ.

Apropos of Hal Davison's election as Speaker of the N. H. House, Kike Richardson sent in Best of luck, Russ.

THE SPEAKER

Like some tall mount that rears its rugged form Up to the sunlight, high above the storm, So stands Childe Harold, gavel in his hand, Sure of his inborn title to command. Though at his feet a battle-field is spread

And squabbles wax 'twixt Regular and Red. Though Callahan with righteous wrath explodes And Small his stock of party bluff unloads, Though learned Parsons quotes the living law And proves his case with many a quip and saw, Though Duncan soars in oratoric flights And Lee stands up to quote the Bill of Rights, The Speaker stands unmoved; and when the eyes Of men gleam red and party passions rise, To full six feet the speaker lifts his form. Looks o'er the House and quells the rising storm. And when the House Nurse cries in accents wild, "Rage if you must but don't disturb the child" The speaker rules: "Members will order keep, House Baby Number One is fast asleep."

Incidentally Kike had the opportunity and privilege of sitting at the Speaker's desk during a session of the House and vouches for the fact that in the day's work Dave passes on more bills than a bank teller and that a crate of gavels are brought in each day for the Speaker's use.

Gene Bissell is living in Westfield, N. J., with Mrs. and the two youngsters. Due to the absence of complete data it is impossible to state whether the children are headed for Dartmouth or Smith. Gene sells chicken feed for the Continental Grain Co.

Does anyone know the address of either Jim Brackett or Herb Richardson? Neither one of the boys seem to have remembered to leave their forwarding address when they last moved. I was just about to include Doc Daisy's name, but as not one of my eight letters have been returned, he must be suffering from writer's complex,—so also Henry Herrman and Beardsley Ruml. The betting is even that at least one will write within thirty days.

The last Dartmouth-Harvard hockey game attracted more families than the previous game. Evidence, Mr. and Mrs. Bud Whitney. Mr. and Mrs. Leon Tuck, Mr. and Mrs. Al Priddy. Mr. and Mrs. Walt Meader all grouped in Section B. There probably were more but there was so much action on the ice that there was little opportunity to reconnoiter.

Paul Gibson writes from the office of the Times Dispatch in Richmond, Va. The cheerful tone of his letter is indicative of the hope expressed that Mrs. Gibson is recuperating from her long siege of illness. She is stopping with relatives in New York at present.

Turk Turner's trip over Jacob's Ladder during one of the season's worst snow storms must have offered considerable contrast to the same trip under ordinary conditions. On the trip Turk and Helen broke the trail in their Hudson. The Troy Rotary Club was very much "het up" over the affair, and Turk has a year's supply of cigars on hand now.

After a very arduous and hectic season the Hanover Curling Team has hung up their brooms. The team won and lost and the strain of strenuous competition was having its effect on the players. Curler Bowler fearing a relapse sailed March 23rd for southern waters on board one of the Great White Fleet. However it looks like a conspiracy, as he is not going alone.

Occasionally Cecil Whitney is seen about the streets of Boston but is always in a hurry to some court hearing. Ropes, Gray. Bovden and Perkins and firm well known in the legal profession has first right to his services.

Secretary, 9 Woodland St., Arlington, Mass.
