Class of 1913
The January dinner of the Dartmouth 1913 Club was held at the Dartmouth Club in New York with Nutt, Powers, Meleney, Alden, Wells, Millar, Remsen, and Jones, the regulars, present. "General" Willson, the "sage of Rutland, Vt.," surprised the crowd by being on hand, and Ron Millar appeared after his long siege with a broken ankle. Nor Catterall, usually a regular, was retained in the hospital, where he spent a painful week following a sinus operation.
William M. Dent is district manager of the Northeastern Life Insurance Company of Newark, N. J., with an office at 1234 You St., N.W., Washington, D. C„ although he lives in Baltimore. Bill has three children, William, Jr. being born July 5, 1927.
Jack Remsen was the sole representative of the class at the annual dinner and meeting of the Thayer Society of Engineers in New York.
At the annual meeting of the New England Insurance Exchange on January 14, the executive committee reported the appointment of Warde Wilkins as an assistant secretary of the Exchange. Wilk has been office manager for several years.
The engagement of Miss Ruth Irma Tannenholz of Newton Center, Mass., and Mr. Louis Morse Fishel of Brookline, Mass., has been announced.

Attention is called to the report of the committee appointed to consider specific activities with which the Dartmouth Alumni Association of Boston should concern itself, and all in and around Boston are urged to pay their dues of $5.00 a year as soon as bills are received" each year.
Marc Wright has changed the name of the Abbott Shoe Company of North Reading, Mass., to the Wright Shoe Company, and he is the Wright.
Many will be interested in an article in Farmand Fireside by Tom Delahery reporting a talk with Fritz Haver of Pleasant Valley Ranch, Boone, Colo. It is entitled, "Alfalfa Pastures Swell His Cattle Profits," and is an interesting account of how Fritz started on his 600 acre ranch when he was 21 years old. It ends: "With no cattle to watch between July and the fall, I generally do a little traveling with my wife and three children." We hope he can leave in June this year, and that Hanover and Whitefield will be his goal.
Carl Shumway came in for some more publicity when the Boston Globe appeared on February 2 with a write-up on his swimming. He can still give the present-day stars a "run for their money," and if you do not believe it drop in some evening at the University Club tank in Boston.
At the annual dinner of the Dartmouth Club of Washington, D. C., held at the Racquet Club on Friday, February 3, several of the nine '13ers residing in the city were present: Sid Akerstrom, Stub Stoughton, Buck Freeman, and Don Evans. Don Evans is still helping the government to function by his work in the Bureau of Efficiency, and Buck Freeman is still in the library of the Bureau of Railway Economics (not a government affair, says Buck), where he is a cataloguer. Rollo Hutchinson is away on sea duty. He is "very well thought of in the X-ray world." George Stiles, Zanny Robeson, Chip Semmes, and Tilton appear at the Dartmouth luncheons occasionally.
Ben Andrew has lately accepted a call to be student pastor at the University of New Hampshire at Durham. We learn that he was too bashful, perhaps, to announce the arrival of Russell Andrew a year ago last August.
Secretary, 18 Oliver St., Boston
