CLASS OF 1925

The notice on another page of this issue of the death last August of Johnnie Dawson records the loss of one who was a friend to many of us.

In starting on these notes for another year a word of praise is due Pete Kelsey and his assistants in handling the Alumni Fund campaign for the class last year—1925 subscribed ninety-nine per cent of its quota, and stood thirty-first in the list of sixty-two classes arranged according to percentage of quota subscribed. That is better than we have done before, and better than any of the classes since 1920 did last year.

Nort Canfield was in Labrador last summer with Dr. Grenfell's well-known mission. Nate Bugbee took the trip up there for his vacation and came back with Nort. Some of the dogs for Commander Byrd's South Pole expedition were on the boat on which our two explorers returned, and as the dogs' official chaperons became indisposed en route Nort drew the job of escorting them to Virginia, and consequently was photographed with them for a number of newspapers. Nort was recognizable in the picture by that checked Outing Club shirt he wore in Hanover. No, he did not go to the South Pole, but is in Ann Arbor completing his medic course.

That excellent sheet, the "Dartmouth Diddings," published weekly by the alumni association in Chicago, carried in its summer issues the two following items:

"Society Boy Handsome Neil Williams '25 was sayin that 6 Dartmouth guys in the graduatin class of Northwestern law passed th bar this summer. Besides Neil they was Drennie Slater, the pres. of the class, Montie Montgomery, Tiger Lyon, Shermie Barnett, and Whit Campbell. Of course they was some wise cracks about its bein the Ist bar these guys ever passed. (Note: If memory serves correctly, Montie and Whit went to Harvard.)

"Some of the travelers got back. Big Boy Coffin '24 and Bobby Borwell '25 th boy scout was among em. They was away on a western autymobile trip in the Big Boy's yellow Chrysler, and while they was gone they took a straw vote amongst the farmers daughters on how they was going to vote. Most of em voted no. They also run into a bull and knocked him offn the road. Th boys was kinda joshin em about throwin the bull." To close we will stand and sing that good old hymn, "Come All Ye Faithful. The Secretary's official mail during the summer has consisted almost entirely of engraved wedding announcements. Let's get back to some of those long—or short personal letters containing interesting news, whether entirely true or not.
