CLASS OF 1921
Several of the boys lived up to the traditions of June and said, "I will" while the wedding bells chimed, and among the blushing bridegrooms was Cor Litchard. Litch was married in Longmeadow, Mass., June 11, to Miss Irene Abigail Trafford, a Smith graduate. Litch's brother, Donald, was his best man, and he was ably backed up by Homer Cleary, Lovell Cook, Jack Hubbell, and Prexy Sanderson as ushers. Mr. and Mrs. Litchard took a motor trip through the St. Lawrence valley on their honeymoon.
Just a week later, Saturday, June 25, to be exact, Reg Miner and Miss Sylvia Chapman, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John W. Chapman, of Newtonville, Mass., were married in St. John's Episcopal church, Newtonville.
Ralph Steiner was also a June bridegroom. He was married to Miss Mary C. Hughes of New York in New York June 1. Ralph, who has been very successful doing advertising photographs, is planning. to take a year to make some experiments in movies, from what he describes as a "non-Hollywood viewpoint."
Dick Barnes is not yet married, but he has announced his intention of joining the married class. During May his engagement was announced to Miss Mildred Brown of Worcester, Mass.
Although by this time he is an old married man, we have just learned of the marriage April 30 of Ken Thomas. Ken and his bride are living in Evanston, from which place Ken commutes daily to Chicago to the office of the advertising firm of Frank H. Thomas and Son. Ken very kindly reports to us an enjoyable party held by the Chicago Twenty-oners and their wives or girl friends May 26. Eight couples gathered for dinner at the Chicago Athletic Club, and afterwards attended a theater party to see Mitzi in "The Madcap". The following were present: Bill Embree and Mrs. Embree, John Hasbrook and Mrs. Hasbrook, Gordon Shepherd and Mrs. Shepherd, Bill Terry and Miss Adair Mclntyre, Harry Mosser and Miss Dagney Meldahl, Ken Thomas and Mrs. Thomas.
Bill Embree had charge of the plans and Ken writes as follows of his success: "In his usual congenial way, Bill handled everything to perfection. There really was no need to go to theater for amusement, as during dinner Bill kept the crowd in continuous laughter. We are all very much indebted to him for his idea and manner in carrying out this very enjoyable evening." Ken Says that they hope to hold another similar party later in the year. They are showing fine enterprise in Chicago in looking forward to the Tenth in 1931, and this get-together was planned "with the underlying motive" of getting the wives more or less acquainted in anticipation of the big party in Hanover.
Hal Braman, who last winter was elected secretary of the Alumni Association in Chicago, has deserted the mid-West metropolis and moved back East! He is now connected with the American Brass Company in Waterbury, Conn. He is making his home in Torrington. The Chicago crowd were mighty sorry to lose him, for he had been a loyal and active worker for Dartmouth and the class there.
A newcomer to the Dartmouth ranks in Chicago is Dud Robinson. Dud left the insurance game in Cleveland July 1, and moved to Chicago to take up the selling of oil-burning furnaces.
The Boston crowd's Thursday luncheons have proved very successful, and Harland Manchester writes as follows of them:
"Regular weekly class luncheons are now being held at Frank Locke's, as it is known to Bostonians, or Locke-Ober's, as it is listed _ in the directories for the purpose of misleading undesirable New Yorkers. Members of the class hailing from Tex Rickard's town will be admitted, however, and should remember that the exclusive rendezvous, chiefly noted for _ its mahogany carvings and full-length oil painting of Aphrodite, is located on Winter Place, which is located off Winter St., which may be entered from Tremont St., near the Park St. subway exit. If you get lost, ask a cop or phone Dan Ruggles. These luncheons are held promptly at 12:30 every Thursday. Checks payable before you leave. Up one flight and save your watch.
"A't a large and enthusiastic meeting on the 19th of May, officers were elected, and many unpremeditated speeches were heard. Dan Ruggles was unanimously re-elected president with the understanding that he do all the work. Stiles and Baker were installed as first and second vice-presidents, Goulding as social secretary, and Norcross as chief petty officer, while your humble servant was requested to fill temporarily the diplomatic post of maintaining amicable relations with President Hicks and the New York '2l club."
Harland, in spite of his brickbats for New York, has been branching out a bit in the New York newspapers in addition to his regular work for the Boston Herald. An article on Boston stock companies by him appeared on the theatrical page of the New York Sun Saturday, July 2, and he has also written on the book censorship in Boston for the NewYork World.
The New York Twenty-oners held their final dinner of the spring season at the Dartmouth Club Thursday evening, June 2. About twenty men were on hand, and after a fine meal they went theater-going under the guidance of Jack Hubbell. Wearying of seeing America under the auspices of the Butterick travel bureau and publishing firm, Jack has decided to settle down in New York once more, and has taken a position selling advertising space in the Ladies' Home Jovftnal for the Curtis Pub- lishing Company. He is connected with the New York office at 366 Madison Ave. Jack was one of three men who resigned from the board of directors of the Dartmouth College Club of New York at the spring meeting, but '2l was kept represented on the board by the election of Ort Hicks to fill one of the vacancies.
Charley Stickney reports from Boston that the Evening Transcript there gave considerable publicity to the Stiles family June 6, when they ran a story telling of the purchase of a summer residence by Chick's father at Rockport, Mass., on the first page directly under the column headed "Affairs of the Nation". "Right where it should be," was Chick's comment on being shown the item and its position, "only they should have used bigger type." Charley has been helping Dan get out notices for the Thursday luncheons and generally making himself useful. He says he has been getting a great kick out of a new Brunswick record presenting "Men of Dartmouth" sung by the Dartmouth Glee Club.
The New York Times of Friday, July 1, contained the following item: "Werner Janssen will sail at midnight tonight on the Homeric to confer with Anne Nichols in Paris regarding a new musical comedy for which he will write the music and Miss Niehols the book." In case you have forgotten, Miss Nichols is the young lady who wrote "Abie's Irish Rose" and thereby joined the millionaire class.
Ye sec. went exploring during June in that vast unknown (to most Easterners) land west of the Alleghanies, and among other things found Luke Boggess accounting like a good Tuck alumnus in an office in Kansas City. We might add further that Luke looks as young and gay as he did in the "good old days." He is marrie-d and has two fine boys, and incidentally we are indebted to Mrs. Boggess and him for two delightful evenings in K. C.
His Kappa Sig twin, Tom Staley, stepped over into the father class just before we got out there, Mrs. Staley presenting Tom with a daughter, Miss Nancy Margaret Staley, on May 22.
On our way East we stopped off at Columbus, Ohio, to call on our own twin, Ken Sater, and after two days with Mrs. Sater and him, we beg to report that Columbus is in the best of hands and that the Sater law practice grows daily. Some day we'll tell you the story about Ken and the chicken thief.
Although we generally bar scandal from this column, we'll break the rule this time to pass on one bit we heard during our travels, and that is that C. C. Corbet, pretzel manufacturer and magnate in that famous industry on the Pacific Coast, is our old friend Cliff Corbet '2l.
Jack Campbell, who was last heard from in Portland, Me., has now been located in Boston where he is running a bookstore.
Dr. Walter Wolfe, the prolific, continues with his contributions to the magazines. "Character and Talent" by Alfred Adler of Vienna and translated by Doc Wolfe from the German appeared in the June issue of Harper's Magazine, and the June number of Hygeia contained an original article, "The Bridge of Speech," by the same gentleman. Walt was recently appointed psychiatrist to the mental hygiene clinic of the Beth Israel hospital in New York.
We find that we have another Ph. D. in our midst. Prof. Dave Trainer of Cornell won one at the Ithaca university a year ago, he and Henry Palmer now being, as far as we have record, in a class by themselves.
In addition to looking after the '2l dinners in New York this last year and doing his regular work for* the advertising firm of John Curtiss Company, Doug Storer, we learn, has been serving as treasurer of the board of directors of the Community Hospital in New York, and also as a member of the board of managers of the Army-Navy branch of the Y. M. C. A.
"Bandy" Lowe has left the New York law firm with which he was connected for some time, and is now associated with a Brooklyn firm. His specialty at present is trying accident insurance cases, and all we can say is that we pity his opponents.
Steff Frederiksen is the latest to migrate back from Florida. He is now located at Utica, N. Y„ where he is connected with the Cream Top Dairy.
Our latest records show several junior Twen- ty-oilers whose arrival has not yet been chronicled here, though they are all quite good-sized youngsters by now. They are Richard E. Kerwin, son of Mr. and Mrs. Chuck Kerwin, born September 24, 1926; Edward A. Folger, son of Joe and Mrs. Folger, born November 12, 1926; Robert C. Haynes, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Haynes, born March IS, 1926; and Miss Dorothy Elizabeth Walker, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joe Walker, born November 5, 1926. Dr. Elliott May transferred July 1 from the General Hospital in Minneapolis to the Boston Lying-in-Hospital.
It is with sorrow that we announce the loss of two cl&ssmates. "Rocky" Stoner was drowned in a sailing accident June 5 and George Walker died of tuberculosis April 24. Sketches of these men will be found in the necrology section of this issue.
Secretary, 7 Lotus Road, Larchmont Woods, New Rochelle, N. Y.
