CLASS of 1898
Mr. and Mrs. E. L. Perkins expected to leave for their home in Hollywood, Cal., during the latter part of November, probably stopping off in Chicago to attend the Pow Wow on the 24th. Young Perk intends to maintain his law office in New York city, and will probably be East again during the winter or spring.
Ted Leggett, chairman of the Alumni "Fund Committee, and Sid Hayward '26, executive secretary, spent the week-end of October 14 with Ich Crane in Brattleboro, Vt., where they played golf and held a con- ference on printing for the Fund.
Bishop Sumner attended the Yale game, going up from New York on the Dartmouth Club special train.
The Dartmouth Pow Wow held in Chicago, November 23 and 24, was a great success. '9B was represented by Ted Leggett and Bucky Chandler of the Alumni Council, and Ted Leggett made one of the best speeches of the entire conference on the Alumni Fund. Other members present were our good class- mate Edwin Buell, who has made a real name for himself in the law in the great city of Chicago; P. S. Pope, vice-president of the Chicago Trust Company was also present and on the committee; Albert Smith with his good brand of genial humor was very much in evidence; Melvin W. Smith attended the football game with the Secretary, and he is the same quiet, loyal, delightful Dartmouth man as of old. It seemed exceedingly pleasant to have our table next to that of '97, where sat such worthies as Dave Maloney, Joe Ryan, Walter McCornack, Semp Smith, Dr. Kelly, '97's famous end on the football team, A 1 Morrill, one of the leading lawyers of Cincinnati, and E. K. Woodworth of Con- cord, N. H. The Secretary attended the Dartmouth freshman football game, and found it very agreeable. The game the next day against Northwestern was not so accept- able, but the Dartmouth team played very well, and is worthy of genuine praise for the splendid effort it put forth. The Secretary took his daughter, Miss Phillippa Patey, who is now a senior at the University of Wiscon- sin, and was delighted to sit near a bunch of '9B and '97 men.
Richard Marcy and Ms wife arrived in Tucson, Arizona, Sunday, November 26,, and are now associated with Guy Griffin in his hotel enterprises. I feel certain that the association will be mutually helpful.
Our food friend "Indian" Mac Andrew returned to his home in Braintree on No- vember 17, and is rapidly rounding into first- class condition.
Bucky Chandler has been appointed to preside at the first meeting of the annual DKB gathering to be held in Boston at the Copley Plaza the last of December.
The 84th Annual Convention of DKE will meet in Boston, December 27-29, with headquarters at the Copley Plaza Hotel. Some of the activities are also to be held at University Club, of which the new president is Natt W. Emerson, Dartmouth 1900. The convention will open Thursday evening, December 27, with a smoker at the Univer- sity Club with our classmate James R. Chandler in charge of the arrangements.
Ich Crane of Brattleboro, Vt., is vice- president and director of a new corporation, called the Recorder Publishing Corporation, which has just been formed to purchase and operate the Greenfield, Mass., Daily Record-er. Greenfield is twenty miles from Brattle- boro.
In a recent letter from Harry W. Clark of Oregon, he writes that their only child and daughter is having a very happy time in the state college located at Corvallis. He speaks in his letter of calling three years ago on our classmate Guy L. Gary and enjoying very much the renewal of acquaintanceship.
On the third day of December I called on our classmate Clarence E. Sibley in North Brookfield. It so happened it was the day that the law on deer was off in Massachu- setts, and he told me of a herd of deer that, when the firing began, went at once to the barn of two maiden ladies and remained there during the hunting season. It is well known to the hunters that the deer seek natural sanctuaries during the hunting season, like deep swamps and inaccessible mountains, but I have never heard before of such keen in- telligence as manifested by this herd of ten in North Brookfield.
Priscilla Ann, born in the Memorial Hos- pital at Brattleboro, Vt., on Dec. 21, daugh- ter of Mr. and Mrs. James C. Irish, is a grandaughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. H. Crane.
Secretary, 57 Grove Hill Ave., Newtonville, Mass.
