CLASS OF 1926
December, 1928 Charles D. Webster,

Heavens me there's nothing like a football application" to set a fellow to notifying his college of a change in address. One might imagine that four-thirds of our classmates have been hoarding up the fact that they had moved so that they could spring it on the office quick like a fish.

Anyhow, Frederick Wenck is in Wheeling, W. Va., albeit with Wheeling Traction Cos., and Braz Brazil is at 618 Main St., in Laconia, N. H.

Also Bob Patten is Asst. Production Engineer for Biddle and Swart, Amesbury, Mass., and Bob Rogers is salesman for Strangmen Mfg. Cos., Newtonville, Mass.

Could you guess that Doc Wright is teachi ng at Longmeadow School in a town of that name in Massachusetts, or that Lem Rogers is salesman for Boston Consolidated Gas Cos., or that Bill O'Leary is salesman for Dictaphone Sales Corp., Minneapolis, Minn., or that G. C. Oakes is oil business, Eastern Ave., Chelsea, Mass.?

And look at Geo. Algar. Why he is Springfield Mgr. of the New England Oil Refining Cos., P. O. Box P., Highland Station, Springfield.

And Phil Collins too at 35 West 84th Street, N. Y. city.

Clary Taylor, note, at Lawrence Academy, Lawrence, Mass., and note, Jesse J. Morgan, Jr., a teacher at Epping, N. H.

Francis J. (Jud) McCarthy will have his football tickets sent % General Outdoor Advertising Cos., Baltimore, Md.

Nathan Parker is a student at Columbia University living at a place called PSI UPSILON HOUSE—some local college society, I'm told.

Loomis School: faculty has Howard C. Rice '26.

A consulting engineer for H. N. Strouck Cos., 205 W. Wacker Drive, Chicago, is none other than Kenneth P. Schmidt. While a transmission line engineer for the Empire Construction Cos., of Atlanta is Laurence M. Scoville, a Dartmouth man of '26. And in addition a consulting engineer in hot water supply is Arthur Stack so if you are ever in hot water—{wit no end).

Now if one walks into the Howland Dry Goods Cos., of Bridgeport, Conn., he is sure to see somewhere Walter Tomlinson.

This fellow Jim Wooster is out at 527 Broadway, Helena, Mont., Why, I don't know.

Murray Knowlton is an author in San Francisco.

Montgomery Colladay is a student in Washington, D. C.

Jason H. Brookes registers as a salesman, Pelham Hall, Brookline, Mass.

Golly, a class secretary can get pretty excited about changes of address but it takes a football ticket application to close the deal, but who complained. Lloyd Sanford wrote Sid that he "believed Chuck Webster once made a plea for news"—By heavens, old chap, I do recall that now that you mention it, but thanks a lot for news of Pete Ide with Grosset Dunlap, N. Y. C., and of Frank Healey as Traveling Car Agent for the New York Central R. R. and Lloyd Sanford in the Group Division of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, N. Y., and Moon Douglas with"Some Power and Light Company, Barre, Vt."

Maybe you all don't know that Bill Nigh chopped all those sturdy trees down in McCloud, Calif., so they made him a great executive in the McCloud River Lumber Cos., Monadunk Bldg., San Francisco, or at least Bill feels he is an executive on account he is in an office. And so do lots of men, Bill, whom I have met.

George Scott travels around for the National Assn. of Insurance Agents. So far he has travelled as far as the Norwich, Harvard and Yale games that I know of.

Junk Anthony feels loads better and went up to Hanover for a few games this fall. He will be back in New York by December to try work there again.

Ollie Kobisk sent his $1.75 to Sid and told him how he hoped to be in Hanover for the third reunion. He won't be alone, I feel.

Thomas Farwell is now Asst. General Manager of the East Ryegate (Vt.) Paper Cos. Nice jump, Thomas.

Coach Oberlander holds open house for travelling '26 men and consulting engineers in Columbus, Ohio. Obie was hoping that we beat Yale. How's the medicine progressing, Jim?

George Snell is fast heading for a doctor's degree at the Bussey Institution, Forest Hills, Mass. This doctor's degree will be for research in Genetics and Entomology and then he will teach.

Warren Fellingham subscribed to the Mag. and he lives at 4430 M North Seely Ave., Chicago.

Ben Kent is in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, which is news but without the personal touch.

Bud Banfield would like to have you and me know that he is "imparting knowledge to the youth of our land" and that, Mr. Banfield, is a neat little profession you have.

What do you mean, Jud? "Chuck Webster's eloquent little ultimatum"—does the Hills Bros. Company of N. Y., require that type of adjective activity among its sales representatives ?

Ritchie Smith left on October 8 for a 4- weeks trip through northeast California and Nevada, selling textbook after textbook, I imagine.

"Enclosed is check for $1.75" is the descriptive letter sent by Hump Campbell to Mr. Hayward. I will add that Texas with W. T. Grant nearly completes this thrilling account of Hump's activities.

Guess this: "As for myself I'm still in Worcester selling advertising for the Worcester Evening Post and having a good time with my family, i.e., wife and 15-month old future Big Green fullback."—In case you didn't guess, that was Chuck Frankenburg.

Herb Redman became engaged to Miss Frances Brown of Manchester, N. H. Herb is agent for the Travellers Insurance Cos., stationed at Claremont, N. H.

Write Fred Rowe at 1406 Chicago Ave., Evanston/111., and maybe you can discover what he is doing. Do the same with Mai Jones at 649 Downes Place, Aurora, 111.

"I am working hard and sleeping nights so there is no news," signed, Jack Bickford.

And here is what California did to Ted Greeley at Calif. Prep School, Covina, Cal.: "I haven't seen a drop of rain since I left New York City and have had only a very few cloudy days and even then the sun has been out a short time every day"'—Golly, Ted, let up for a minute.

Ted Sullivan goes out to Columbus and there he installs addressographs and he sees Monk Bourne and Obie and wife, too.

Wee McClintock says that after two years the class may be able to stand the shock brought about by the announcement that in June he will graduate from the Episcopal Theological School, a full fledged "sky pilot." This loyal '26 man is willing to perform weddings at cut rates to all classmates. Gee, you don't have to do that Wee, our-classmates will pay any amount as it seems to me now.

Dean Chamberlain speaks: "I am immersed in a flock of English courses (Columbia) and manage to keep nearly as busy as I did in,the good old days when I helped build skyscrapers in this man's town. This present work is vastly more interesting. Incidentally the tonsils came out all right." And that, men, is news from Dean studying on a Dartmouth fellowship.

"Enclosed find the necessary berry and —Ken Andler. This lengthy note was received by a classmate of ours, Sidney Hayward.

Frank Bailey is proud of Robert Cushman Bailey on August 3rd.

Ah me, look at this:"My wife and I were in Hanover this summer"—Hal Lewis.

Fred Wenck was in Hanover for the week of October 26th.

Herbert Darling writes his letters now on stationery marked Mrs. Herbert F. Darling. Hayward and myself think Herb is carrying things a bit too far.

Herm Withington promotes sales for the Armstrong Cork Cos., and hasn't seen a Big Green man for months.

Bill Fish makes estimates for the N. J. Bell Telephone Cos., and lives in Montclair.

Charlie Jost, Carl Allen and Edward Chaffin, all boys from Mass. Agricultural College, made an elaborate graph of the Brown game and they kindly sent it to me. Thank you, men.

Jack Mcllwraith runs a one man Company in Elwood, Ind., for he is Sales Mgr. and only salesman for the Indiana Box Cos. He does it this way—"l do get some fun out of writing thusly—'Our representative will call at your office on Thursday morning.' Then I jump in my Chewy and drive like hell for Lima, Ohio, and make the call. Whereupon I reverse the process and write: 'And thank you for the courtesy extended to our representative.' " Nice work, John.

Ernie Bauer thinks he is working hard with the Bauer Hardware Company of Lewiston, Maine.

Walt Brockway has written me a very nice letter telling me of his wanderings just as a 3rd class yeoman in the navy, and pay yeoman on the U. S. S. Camden. Then to China and the Philippines for 14 months. Now he is on a special order discharge in order to prepare for the Chaplains' Corps of the Navy. He entered Harvard as a freshman in 1926 and is now a senior. After this June there will be three years of Theological School and then the Navy again. There is color in that account.

Red Raisbeck has his name on the stationery of Thorndike Deland—specialist in executive placement. I guess we have Red to blame for all the vice-presidents that clutter our city streets.

Paul Allen is in construction work at Ford City, Pa.

Bob Harrington got his master's degree at Harvard last June and toured Europe. He now will work in Kansas City.

Ted Minuse is at Stony Brook, N. Y., with D. T. Bayles and Son, dealers in building materials of all kinds.

Ozz Fitts doesn't even know any news about himself so he continues at Harvard Law,

"Have we missed out on any issue? If so I wish you might arrange to have the lacking ones sent to me as I am trying to keep them all on file." Mr. Hay ward has complied with good old Mr. Weeks' request. Mr. Weeks, while in college, was a member of the class of 1926. Don't let anyone fool you, Ken.

Bill Willard buys the Alumni Magazine.

For Seeds, Flour, Hay, Fertilizers see Edwin Steele, % Newark Lumber Cos., at Newark, Delaware.

Red Merrill continues with White, Weld and Company, Chicago.

Bryant Heater and Mfg. Company—"let your Pup be your furnace man"—for particulars write Lawrence T. Bourne, 200 Columbian Building, Columbus, O.

Uppie Upham carries on the billing dept. of the Johns-Manville Corporation plant at Nashua, N. H.

When Maurie Quint comes in at night and says "Well, I sold 6 bonds today," Chaffin and I roar "Not enough, not enough." You can't encourage the youth of today or they will go as we say in Detroit, haywise. That is my parting message to you men out in thia great country of ours. You may, some of you, have sent in your $1.75 for the Magazine but. it's not enough, no sir, not enough. We must have the whole class subscribe. Come,, delinquents.

Secretary, 7991 Hartwick St., Detroit, Mich.
