CLASS OF 1926

Fall more than any other season of the year brings a jumble of memories which bespeak all the charm of Hanover in a single breath. Spring may mean warm afternoons along the river, winter is full of blue days and winds through the pines, but fall hints of all seasons at once as one scuffs up the leaves on his way across campus.

The long interval between May and now has been fraught with interest. For example, take the following marriages that I know of, and heaven knows how many others: Douglas N. Everett, Warren L. Fellingham, Richard M. Burlingame, George Champion, Arthur Forrest, Granville F. Knight, Joseph Kinney, Carroll Peavey, William Stickney, Babe Allen.

Note with interest the following:

Ralph Bristol from Hotel Bond, Hartford, to Hotel Statler, Boston. The Statler organization is enriched also by Mr. G. Chipman's personality.

Mr. Charles E. Wallis, a structural detailer for Dewitt P. Robinson Court Company, Middletown, Ohio.

Mr. P. S. Robinson, now of the Hood Rubber Products Company, Inc., Chicago. Mr. Larry Kennison, transferred California Institute of Technology, teacher.

Mr. James Traquairis in Sylvan, N. C., in a unit of the Mead Paper Box Company. He works long, attends movies, and writes an interesting letter.

Mr. Greeley (Henry E.) teaches in California Preparatory School for Boys, Covina, Cal.

Mr. A. T. Gould, teacher, Valley Ranch School, Wyoming. C. E. Gibson Jr., bond trader, no less, at 24 Federal St., New York city.

Note also these students: Henry Crawford, medicine, Harvard; Stewart Orr, Walter Tomlinson, Robert McConnaughey, Donald Mackay, Carl Schipper, Robert Salinger, W. F. Thompson, law, Harvard; Frank Bailey, graduate work, Harvard; W. A. Campbell, classics, Princeton; H. H. Gibson, architecture, Harvard; A. J. Hammond Jr., architecture, Pennsylvania.

With the J. C. Penney Company at Pottstown, Pa., is Whit Blair. His last letter indicated that his engagement to Miss Treda Crotsby was a big event in his life. I think we can give him until June.

Another of those thoughtful to the force with a letter. Ed Emerson hastened to give me news of Frank Poor, who graces the portals of the Great A. &. P. Company in Boston. Ed himself is in the thick and thin with the N. E. Telephone Company in Providence. This same fine organization (why I don't know) continues to employ Walter Meserve Hankin, a Dartmouth graduate of some years ago. Big corporations ofttimes make mistakes.

Note, classmates, these actors and producers:

Louis J. Heydt, now playing the lead in the London company of of Mary Dugan." Heydt is referred to by the press as "that young Broadway actor, Heydt." Charles R. Starrett, summer season with the Stuart Stock Company, Cincinnati. Local critics praise actor's ability.

Robert B. Williams, erstwhile in "The Trial of Mary Dugan," now of "Burlesque," soon to go on the road. A famous fellow.

Edward Cyrus Cole, Yale Dramatic School, and summer season with the University Players at Southampton, L. I. Sounds pretty big.

It is nice to know that Bob Carr is with the Container Corporation of America, getting familiarized with the purchasing end, with an eye on sales for future work.

I know that Ward Benton is 'way out around Minneapolis and couldn't make the '26 dinner last June, but I can't prove what he is doing. Better write, Ward.

Now you take it down in Nantucket, there's this Maloney '26. He has been supervisor of drawing in the Nantucket schools, made quite a pretty thing of it. He says this year will be partly taken up with operating a truck farm in partnership with the superintendent of schools. It's a nice thing for a faculty to have a little garden—I mean, think of the faculty we know tending to their beet patches; it has great possibilities.

I guess at this point I will insert a great piece of human interest stuff. I am being transferred by my company to Detroit for an indefinite period. I shall be known as Salesman Webster, and will live with Edward Chaffin. I had a nice vacation, sailed in a forty-foot ketch from New London to Belfast, Me., and it's a marvelous way to spend a vacation. I did stop long enough on the way back to buy a shirt from young J. Campion, and almost a pair of bargain flannels.

The week-end activities of Courtney Brown, Herbert Harwood, and Edward McClintock are such as to thrill the hearts of many. Endless days of heartaches for the many attractive girls, athletic endeavors on the links, the tennis courts, and the ballroom. McClintock on a tennis court is a grand thing.

Clem Kingman really does play a nice game at the net, and I've seen him at Scarsdale, N. Y., once in a blue moon this summer.

Russ Newcomb used to have a great apartment in Brooklyn until the installment people moved out his landlady's furniture. Since then he has had to move. He and Perley Merry make good roommates, the one a restraining influence on the other.

Faces about the table at the opening fall dinner at the Dartmouth Club of New York were Courtney Brown, Homer Rowe, William Viall, Robert Cleary, Herbert Harwood, Edward McClintock, Robert Stopford, Edwin Dooley, Russell Newcomb, Sidney Lenke, Carlos Allen, John Roberts, Robert Riotte, and Charles Webster.

Classmate Dooley does these things daily: morning, study, Fordham Law School, trip to Evening Sun; afternoon, coach backfield, St. John's College, Brooklyn; evening, write feature article for the Sun and magazines. But Edwin had so much spare time that he had to sjart speaking over the radio. Well that's only right, for my thought is that the devil finds work for idle hands to do.

Now Classmate Duffy covered the Senate for the Associated Press all winter, working well into the night. He went also to both Democratic and Republican conventions, and is busy writing a few short stories.

Joseph Batchelder has been cleaning up in golf around Massachusetts. He played in an exhibition against Ouimet, a foursome in which Joseph and his partner vanquished the famous Ouimet.

Russell Clark does his stent in the Foreign Department of the First National, Boston. Of an evening Russ courts his fiancee, Miss Dorothy Frost, to whom he will be married soon.

Mr. Jud McCarthy has some pretty fine job with the General Outdoor Advertising Company.

Mr. Paul Ide carries along the Studebaker Corporation in New York.

Mr. Al Milans after studying law for two years at George Washington University has turned to the study of voice.

Edward Dreier rides up and down the long subway system, inspecting advertising done by his company in the Interborough cars.

Robert Stopford, tobacco, buys for R. H. Macy. The lad passed free cigars about the banquet table.

Bill Yiall is in the new business department of the Bankers Trust Company, New York city. Bill says he is giving them a chance to give him the breaks.

I note the following fathers: Hal Marshall, one son; Donald Hopkins, one daughter; Warren Crosby, one daughter.

Along with this startling news you may be interested to know that Dr. Leland Griggs is the father of a second son, David Preston Griggs.

Jack Leech continues his studies in the University of Pennsylvania in medicine. His father's illness has caused Jack some great worries during the past year, and we hope this coming year will be free from trouble.

Stormy Hartley lost $19 at bridge this September.

Randall Cox and Kenneth Weeks are attending Boston University Law School.

Hugh Moore manages a division of Frigidaire in Detroit.

Mr. Gail Borden can be corresponded with in care of the Department of English, Chicago University. Mr. Borden's classes in Shakespeare and the drama are open to juniors, sophomores, and special students. Prerequisites, six months I. C. S. or 99 years on one lease, or both.

Richard Gooding and Mrs. R. D. Gooding are keeping house at 106 Perry St., New York city.

Tom Colt is doing a worthy thing, I believe. He is taking an exhibition of contemporary painters and sculptors to Hanover. Tom goes with Mr. Mohonri Young, a noted worker in bronzes, especially in boxing groups, which have made him quite famous. Since the College sponsors a broad and liberal view of modern American art, we may be glad that one of our own is actively in touch with this phase of the artistic world.

This, by way of news from Babe Allen, married Miss Lucy Graham, Smith '27. Babe is in charge of football at the Colorado School of Mines, Golden, Colo. Besides that, he is studying there for his E. M., and besides that he says he is quite happy.

It was a great shock to me to learn of Les Waggener's death on July 9, of which there is a fuller notice on another page. It is a sad thing to have one of our classmates taken out of the play at such an early stage in the game.

This interval represents time transpired in going from New York to Detroit via Hanover and the Norwich game. Is it enough to say that in Bob McConnaughey's open Ford we tore up from Northampton, saw the game, the glorious hills, Delta Alpha, Frosty How- land, Dick Nichols, Stew Orr, Larry Smith, and Herb Harwood? Is that enough, or shall I have to tell you about the crisp autumn day, the big green in action, looking a touch ragged but round, the anticipation of final pledging? You can guess the rest, or do I have to explain why Allen, McConnaughey, and I were in Northampton?

Now I am in Detroit with Maurie Quint and Ed Chaffin, living with Ed. Saw John Heavenrich at the weekly luncheon on Tuesday.

All eyes are set on Chicago. Be there if you can. Send those letters now.

PRESIDENTIAL WEDDING

Not long ago, in fact at 4.30 o'clock in the afternoon of September 29, there was per- formed by Bishop John T. Dallas, Dartmouth honorary degree holder and beloved friend of the college, a wedding ceremony uniting in marriage Miss Helen Foster and Douglas Newton Everett. Mrs. Everett is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William A. Foster of Concord, N. H., and President Everett, of hockey fame, is the son of State Highway Commissioner and Mrs. Frederic E. Everett of the same city. By virtue of the union Doug's wife takes her place in the 1926 White House as the first lady of the grand old class. The couple will make their home at 17 South Spring Street, Concord. The best wishes of 1926 for their future happiness is extended to them. We shall all be looking for Helen at the reunion in June.

Among the members of the party '26 was well represented. Sid Hayward stood by the groom's side and succeeded in producing the ring at the crucial moment, without a fumble. Clyde Hall and Johnny Manser were ushers. Other notables in attendance included: Tom Farwell, Gob Des Marais, Harry Weare, and Junk Anthony, who arrived late. This affair, involving the '26 chief executive, would seem to give official approval to those in our ranks who have already taken unto themselves a bride, and encouragement to those others who contemplate the forward, but fatal, step.

Doug is employed by the firm of Morrill & Foster, Concord, selling insurance and real estate. His name appears on the firm stationery and he has a private office. Now he is all set. Good luck, Doug.
