CLASS OF 1908
Bob and Mary Marsden are spending the winter in Tucson, Arizona, and a post card states that their address is 735 North Euclid Ave., Tucson. Bob has leave of absence from his job as dean of the Thayer School, and he and Mary expect to come home in the spring in much stronger health.
There was a good-sized 'OB delegation at New Haven, November 2, with most of the boys from New York and many of the Boston classmates in the Bowl.
Many of the 'OB second generation tune in the radio evenings and listen to Dick Lunt broadcasting from the WEEI studio. Some of the youngsters will eventually learn from Dick what makes a candle burn and where the flame goes when it goes out.
In the fall baseball games in Hanover the freshmen were matched with a team of varsity players. Freshmen got three on bases, when a youngster walked up and clouted a home run. It was Henry Stone's boy, and they kept him playing in the outfield when he was not working in the pitcher's box.
Arthur L. Lewis copped a flock of cups at the recent Boston horse show, with the help of his son Jack, who rode the prize-winning horses from the Lewis stable. Art now has about 14 horses in his string, and sometimes he tries to make old friends think he beds 'em down every night and curries 'em off and feeds them their oats each morning.
The 'OB class had an especially pleasant dinner and round-up Saturday evening, October 26, following the victory over Har- vard's football team. According to the news just received before the contest from Mr. Carnegie's Foundation it was a battle between Harvard's mercenaries and Dartmouth's hired men, but in spite of that none of the 'OB ticket-holders threw away their pasteboards or swapped them for tickets to Keith's.
The Boston classmates, chairmaned by Art Lewis, arranged the round-up at the University Club. There were 33 who sat down to dinner, and several more "looked in" during the evening. Those there with wives were Donahue, Gleason, Lincoln, Lunt, Marshall, McCarty, Safford, Soule, Stone, Phil Thompson, and Walker. Others accompanied were Hilton and brother, Art Lewis and son Jack, and Rotch and friend, also son Billy later to say "hello." Those who came alone were Flanders, Keith, Knox, Marion, and Stearns. Later in the evening Mr. and Mrs. McElwain looked in to say hello, and also Paul Vaitses. In all thirtythree sat down to dinner.
On October 17 Stanley "Tub" Besse, Dartmouth '05, arrived from New York, and met his fiancee, Katherine Ellis, in Chicago, where they were married. The ceremony was performed by the minister of the class of 1908, Reverend Bill English, and those in attendance were Mr. and Mrs. E. T. Marsh and Park Washburn Stickney. Mrs. Marsh thought it one of the most delightful wedding services she had attended, and of course anyone supported by so many men of 1908 is making a most auspicious start.
