CLASS of 1901
Gus Hartigan got his bunch of bananas from Goochie, and the Hartigan family, from the little granddaughter up, are all enthusiastic boosters of United Fruit products. In fact, Gus says his two sons, both famous banana punishers, made a monkey out of that particular bunch. Arnold Hartigan, the youngest son, graduated from the University of Grenoble, in southern France, this spring, and after a tour of Europe with his older brother John (Dartmouth 1926), returned to Chicago, and they are now working with Gus. The chief work of the Hartigan Company is leveling off the sand dunes in and about Hammond, Ind., draining the swamps and laying sewers so that the Roxanna Petroleum and other kindred companies can get their oil tanks and refineries in operation.
Charlie Hildreth attended the Carnival at Hanover in March. Roger Hildreth is a junior in college, but we understand that he had his father stay with Warren Rugg's son in old Reed Hall. The Deacon reports a most enjoyable time.
Copied from the Dartmouth Club of New York Bulletin:
"Throughout the West Indies we came across the trail of Verson Gooch, the personnel sleuth hound of the Fruit Company. His friends, who seem to number any one you see, all know where he has been but have no idea of where he is at present, though Honduras was the last port."
Ralph Dunsmoor is with the Hudson- Essex sales company, the H. M. Farnham Company, of Montpelier, Yt.
Gene Clark and Ed Hunter have returned from a three months' trip, covering the Mediterranean from Italy to Sicily, Malta, Egypt, Syria, Constantinople, and Athens, back to Venice, and home from England via Switzerland and Paris. Of this 12,000-mile trip about 10,000 of it was covered by steamer. They made the discovery that many have made before—that southern countries are not the best places to go to find warmth in the winter time, as all the Mediterranean, including Egypt, was suffering from the intense cold winter that all Europe experienced.
Others that toured Europe this winter were Carl Owen and his wife. Carl went up into Germany and to Milan, while Mrs. Owen remained in Paris. They later made a complete tour of Spain, and then returned home through Paris and England.
The Secretary attended the 25th annual meeting of the Dartmouth Secretaries Association held in Hanover May 3 and 4, and would report a most interesting and inspiring session. It was the largest attended meeting of the Association.
The contact with men of all classes from 1865 to 1932 is one of joy and help. Mutual problems are discussed, and the solutions worked out from the experiences of those of other classes who have similar problems. Hanover and the College intrigue one as never before. One who only occasionally comes to Hanover has work in keeping pace with the growth and expansion of the college plant. Everywhere one meets new buildings and new vistas, and although missing some of the old, we all must marvel at the new.
