Class of 1916

Frank Bobst is still climbing- in the insurance world, having recently been appointed an associate general agent of the Paul F. Clark agency in Boston. The following bit of hot stuff is taken from one of the late copies of the John Hancock Signature: "Frank T. Bobst steps into his new post as associate general agent, bearing with him the good will of all his co-workers as well as the multitude of friends whom he has met in his daily contacts. Likable and versatile, spicing up his more weighty vocation of writing insurance with a happy faculty for sketching (some of his pencilings have appeared in the Signature), he has been an interesting figure ever since he joined up with Paul Clark as his first agent in 1921. His training ground was a more or less diversified one. He graduated from Dartmouth College in 1916 " but why quote beyond this Point? We insurance men hate publicity. Still we want to congratulate Frank and wish him more power.

While we're passing out congratulations we have several other items to mention:

Pike Larmon, who is now located in Boston as the New England representative of the United States Construction Company, has been keeping something from us. The other day he crashed through with the news that his marriage on January 26 a year ago to Miss Louise Spalding of New York had recently been announced.

And Austin Jenison, still of Lansing, Mich., has been promoted to captain in the 119 th Field Artillery, and is in command of the Headquarters Battery.

And Bill Gaylord writes of Richard Emerson Gaylord, born November 26 last. Dick has a sister and three brothers,—which isn't so bad.

We want to get an up-to-date list of the '16 family. Fill in this form and mail it to your Secretary: Name Wife's maiden name Date of marriage Names and dates of birth of children

And enclose with it a letter giving the dope on yourself, and telling in not more than five hundred words, "Why I Read the 1916 Notes." Freddy Bailey wonders why anyone should, and has offered to have the Regal Laundry wash, free of charge, a week's accumulation of soiled socks of the one who writes the best essay. No answers like "Lord knows" will be accepted. This contest, which is open to all '16ers excepting members of the secretarial staff and their families, will close on April 18.

Numerous '16ers showed up at the HarvardDartmouth hockey game in Boston the other night. The game, which ended in a 2-2 tie, was one of the best of the season. Harvard led 2-0. and was not tied until a few minutes before the end of the third period. After that three ten-minute overtime periods were played without any further scoring. As Harvard had defeated us earlier in the season, she gained the college championship. Yet George Carens of the Boston Transcript placed three Dartmouth players, Rogers, Fryberger, and Hardy, on his first all-college six, and Lane and Bott on the second.

Johnnie Pelletier is still toiling on his task of raising the Alumni Fund. If you birds are as slow in responding this year as you used to be when I had the job, snap out of it and let Johnnie hear from you today. He deserves your support, and the cause is a worthy one.

Secretary, 24 Dale St., New tonville, Mass.
