Class of 1920
Three of the long-lost have recently been gathered back into the fold by the long arm of the Alumni Records Office. Jake Gorton, naval aviator, turns up appropriately enough at the Naval Aircraft Factory in the Philadelphia Navy Yard; Charlie Tucker is in the real estate business in Plainfield, N. J.; and Max Moyer is selling Goodyear tires and other rubber products out in Akron, Ohio.
Having been placed on the J. S. Rogers Company mailing list (by courtesy of Don Rogers) we are counting on a life-time's supply of blotters, portraying the various Masonic temples, piers, warehouses, and schools that the versatile company has built at one time or another. Don, himself no less than a vice-president, answered the last Twenty questionnaire and sent along a few additional items of interest: "Not baldheaded yet," he says; "no change in appearance except ten pounds heavier. Follow big league baseball in summer, play in pick-up football games in fall and winter, and once in a while attempt to be a golfer. In our neighborhood, out in Moorestown, there are about sixteen of us who get in a football game every weekend, and the game includes some who are not pikers; for example, French of Army fame. Leconey of Lafayette, Perkins of Swarthmore, etc. We have a great time for a bunch of hasbeens or never-wases. Count me as one sure to be on hand at the Tenth Reunion."
Don't forget this one when you're mulling over the flurry in General Motors: Art Hale, one of our most confirmed globe-trotters, returned from Spanish America around the first of the year, and turned in his new address as General Motors Corporation, 224 West 57th St., New York city. The most we know is that Art is lined up some way with the General Motors Acceptance Corporation.
More news from Bill Carter tells of his election to Alpha Pi Zeta, national honorary social science fraternity. All seems to be going nicely with Bill at the University of Missouri, and only a thesis stands between him now and his M. A. degree.
The Charlie Cratherns report the latest in the way of family increases, with a very young daughter, Barbara Jean, born February 25 and weighing five pounds, fifteen ounces. Harry Worth has also just turned in the announcement of Dean Stoddard's arrival on September 30, 1927. Harry is an underwriter, located in Montclair, N. J., with the Liverpool and London and Globe Insurance Co., Ltd. Word from Bing Whitaker—like "hearing from the dead," as he expresses it—drifts in from Youngstown, Ohio. "Have done a good deal of moving around," he confesses, "but I am settled down now for a while operating a bakery here in Youngstown. I am going to manage a plant for Wehle Bakery Co., Inc., of New York, the largest house to house bakers in the East. This house to house business is the new way to merchandise for the baker, and is proving most successful." The all-important query in Bing's letter awaits a reply from his neighbors: "What I'd like to know is if any Dartmouth men are located here, 70 miles from Cleveland, 60 miles from Pittsburgh?"
"Am penned up here in the Keystone State and don't see many of the boys. I guess the only Dartmouth man I've seen for some time has been Jimmie Jones '2l, who is in Harrisburg. I make my headquarters there, but spend most of the time pushing my high-powered gondola over the mountains and through the coal-fields, trying to get rid of a few of Craig Sheaffer's Lifetime pens for him. Am sure beginning to look forward to the Tenth already, and will be there if I have to break a couple of legs and arms—and won't come alone." We won't keep you guessing any longer on that one; it's from Jim Stark. And the last sentence of his letter is the part that needs to be concluded in our next.
Fred Hall is now sales manager for Folwell Brothers and Company of Philadelphia. John Collom, a Stamford commuter, is a bloated bond salesman for the firm of Hornblower and Weeks, New York.
Future communications to the editor—and may .there be many of them—should be inscribed with the new address quoted above. When next the MAGAZINE goes to press, this deponent expects to be enjoying a long-awaited month of inertia in New Hampshire. On April 21 he severs a long (almost seven years) and pleasant connection with Lyons and Carnahan, to resume activities on May 21 as manager of the high school department of Harper and Brothers, 49 East 33d St., New York city.
Editor, 3226 54th St., Woodside, N. Y.
