CLASS OF 1910
Gay Gleason is now a senior partner in Sawyer, Hardy, Stone and Morrison, and is located at 33 Broad St., Boston.
Chan Baxter has come through with information regarding his recently acquired wife. It is not so recent, as he was married about two years ago to Helen Cress of Seattle. They are now living at 401 North Yakima Ave., Tacoma. "Chan" hopes to be back next year for the Twentieth and bring Mrs. Baxter with him. His new supply business apparently is coming along in good shape, although, like everyone else, he finds plenty of competition.
"Wilkie" has apparently found commuting three or four hundred miles too much for him, for I notice he has a new address, 64 Plaza Drive, Berkeley. An engineer's home is where he hangs his hat, but it is hard to keep up with him sometimes.
Grover Hoyt should be back for our Twentieth; at least, he is much nearer than the Pacific Coast. He is located in Chicago with the Joslyn Manufacturing and Supply Company at 120 South La Salle St. He is living at 820 Randall St., Downers Grove, 111.
Recently the Boston Herald has been running a series entitled "People You Ought to Know." The other day, Ben Williams was their subject with a good likeness and writeup.
Dave Childs is now in Braintree at 65 Western Ave.
Among Hanover visitors on a certain day in August were Ben Williams, Slip Powers, Tom Heneage, Hap Hinman, and Wes Hunt. All looked about the same with the exception of Tom, who has lost considerable poundage since the Northwestern game last fall. Tom allows that it is bad enough to be referred to in the class notes as being aldermanic in proportions, but says that it is the absolute limit when Tenners in Chicago compare him to the cop at the corner of Wabash and Adams. Hence, the dieting.
George Chamberlin decided there are not enough Dartmouth men in Philadelphia, so he has moved to New York, where he will find more companions. He is still with Stone and Webster, and is located at their office at 120 Broadway.
I saw Goldie in Hanover a week-end this summer, trying to make the place seem natural. He told me that he hadn't been in Hanover for nearly ten years. As we stood on the Inn steps, he wanted first to know where the new library was. He is very enthusiastic about next reunion, and has told his wife that they can't go to Austria next year until very late in June. This summer they spent considerable time in England, and in August were at Sunapee recovering from his trip abroad.
I had a nice letter from Buck Allen the other day from Camp Chewonki, a boys' camp which he has run for several years at Wiscasset, Me., where several of the class have sent their sons. In the fall he starts as headmaster of the River School in Brookline, the only private day school in Greater Boston with a Dartmouth man as headmaster. Buck has spent all his time since graduation with boys, trying to understand them and their problems, and is very enthusiastic about his work.
We were all shocked to hear of Jack Field's sudden death on the fourteenth of September. Unfortunately, I didn't hear of it until too late to attend the services. Jim Everett was there and several other Dartmouth men. You will find a more complete account in the necrology column of this issue.
Kid Fowler is now permanently located in Cuba with headquarters at Chaparra. He is assistant general superintendent for the Cuban-American Sugar Company, with ten plants located in different places in Cuba and Louisiana, so he is apparently due for a lot of traveling. I was very sorry to hear that Mrs. Fowler died last July after a long illness, so Kid is alone in Cuba. His boy is in school on Long Island and headed for Dartmouth in the class of '37. We all hope the Kid will make his vacation next year coincide with the reunion, as he plans.
The Boston crowd have started again holding weekly luncheons, as was the custom for several years. These are now being held at Warmuth's, 280 Devonshire St., at 12:30 every Tuesday. Visiting firemen can be assured of a hearty welcome.
Mrs. Everett thinks that Jim has been negligent in reporting additions to the family. The latest is Elizabeth Carol, who arrived July Fourth. Those who have not been duly chronicled will be listed in the regular report, which will come out this winter.
"Pineo" Jackson as chairman of the Twentieth Reunion committee has already started the ball rolling, and necessary reservations and tentative plans have been made. Further advices will be forthcoming, but he states that it is not too soon for each and every member of the class to be making plans to report in Hanover next June.
