CLASS OF 1906

It may seem a bit late to be talking about the great Chicago Pow Wow, but we had already gone to press for the last issue before our trusty correspondents in the great open spaces sent in their reports. Both Frank Eastman and Nat Leverone have written that from the 1906 standpoint it was a glorious success. Twenty-one members of the class got together—and stayed together- and all agreed that the occasion proved one of the best small reunions we have ever had. Unlike the meetings in the East, this one drew men from all directions, many of whom had not met since they graduated. And, Frank adds, "The remarkable thing that struck me was that the boys seemed to have changed so little in the twenty-two years that have elapsed since we were all together in Hanover." The men present included Art Farrington, Ray Herman, Nat Leverone, Jocko Griffin, Kid Gleason, and Walter Dakin, all of Chicago; Bob Carpenter from Cleveland, Roy Owen from Detroit, Cap Ketcham from Indianapolis, Henry Thrall from Minneapolis, George Loff from Evanston, Wyoming, Leigh Martin from Portland, Oregon, Frank Eastman from Harrisburg, Pa., T. Brown and Bill McGrail from New York, Don Mclntire from Glenellyn, Ill., Shorty Davis, Carl Warton, and Lyme Frazier from Boston, and the class twins, Ned French and Joe Smith, from Vermont. It was, you see, a truly "nation-wide" '06 reunion, with representatives from both the Atlantic and Pacific seaboards.

Frank Eastman complains that when wandering stars do drift into Hanover they have difficulty in locating their classmates. For instance, says he, "On October 13 the Dartmouth Club of Central Pennsylvania, of which I am the worthy president, sent a delegate to Hanover, in the person of the greatest of all third basemen, Bill Page. He reports that he called on Edgerton three times and on Rugg twice, neither being in, and although he inquired, no one in town apparently had ever heard of any of the other members mentioned. In view of this I would suggest that the next time a member of the class of 1906 makes a donation to the College, there be erected some fitting tablet along the road Hamp Howe would naturally conduct any Rip Van Winkle arriving at Hanover, and have on this tablet suitable insignia and inscription, which would direct the wayfarer to the resident members of that glorious class." It shall be done, Frank, but in the meantime let any returning prodigal who cannot recall our right names and addresses stand on the southwest corner of the campus where once the old stone duckingtrough stood and shout "Juchhe!" in the good old-fashioned way. That'll fetch us.

Nat Leverone has been putting in nearly all of his spare time for the past year looking after the business and social affairs of the Interfraternity Club of Chicago. This club, which was organized a little over a year ago with Nat as its first president, and which moved recently into new and attractive quarters in the Hotel LaSalle, has over 1200 members and holds weekly meetings. Nat resigned last month as its president, and now he promises us that he is about to get out another number of the "Green Messenger." Needless to say, all '06 will rejoice to see it.

Art Farrington is now in Chicago, in the hookless fastener business, but the Secretary has not yet received his new address.

George Boynton is representing the town of Hillsboro in the present session of the New Hampshire legislature.

Dr. Arthur D. Holmes, director of the research laboratory of the E. L. Patch Company of Boston, has been appointed chairman of the Dietetic Section in the Scientific Division of the United States Fisheries Association. Arthur, as you will remember, knows more about cod liver oil than anyone else in the country.

Can any member of the class furnish the Secretary or the Alumni Records Office with the correct address of Ralph Thompson? All efforts to reach him for some months past have failed.

The Editor has a letter from E. Everett Clark who is head of all the adult education work among people of foreign birth in the state of Massachusetts. Clark is doing a very important work in real Americanization and has met with great success.
