CLASS of 1911
Your Secretary attended the annual meeting of the Secretaries Association at Hanover, on May 3 and 4. It was a good meeting, and gratifying to some extent in that others occasionally express envy of the organization and morale of 1911. This is wholesome, except that we should make sure that it is true. You may be interested to note the reference to the meeting in another section of this issue of the MAGAZINE.
"Doc" Wyman is participating in the renown which is now coming to the Christopher Morley crowd of producers and actors who are all found in the ancient theatres of Hoboken. "Doc's" official capacity apparently is that of technical director.
Sarge Eaton deserves credit for having put over, with the assistance of another alumnus, a very successful meeting in Bridgeport of the Connecticut Alumni Association last month.
Apparently as we arrive nearer to middle age and our propensities towards success increase in volume, some of our good classmates are able to acquire the traveling habit. It is reported that Bob Sanderson, Mac Rollins, Jack Russell, Dick Whelden, Paul Ayer, mostly with wives, enjoyed cruises through the Caribbean this winter.
Warren Agry seems now to be a confirmed New Yorker. He has sold his home in Chicago, and moved all his equipment to Hidden Spring Lane, Rye, N. Y., where he has taken up his residence. Incidentally, it seems that there was a week or two after the rental of his apartment ran out before the new house was to be ready, so Warren did what many of us would like to do, namely, jumped the train with his family and visited with his friends along the route between New York and Chicago. Anyhow his classmates seemed glad to see him.
"Doc" Gordon wins the honor, so far as I know, of having the first freshman son of 1911 at Dartmouth. "Doc Jr." is entering the freshman class next fall. If there is any exception to this statement I would be glad to learn of it.
On January 25, 1929, Henry Iselin Hall was added to the family of Louis Hall.
Deac Trask is still teaching in that swell school in New York, but has moved to the suburbs, where Mrs. Trask still conducts her antique shop and acts as expert on interior decorating.
The Walt Reillys recently turned up at the Dartmouth Musical Clubs' party in Washington on their way South. This remark was made concerning "Walt": "There was something said about Walter's being tired and needing a rest. Possibly he is one of these people who approach the verge of nervous exhaustion without indicating it in their appearance, but his appearance certainly left me with no worry as to his continued well being."
Hugh Kenworthy has just been promoted to the position of purchasing agent of the Lukens Steel Company, Coatesville, Pa., having been advanced from assistant purchasing agent.
Now to mention a matter which may be considered quite personal, yet which will probably win sympathy from many classmates for the gentleman referred to. You may be interested to know that Cliff Orcutt has recently been elected as Exalted Ruler of the Lodge of Elks of Ridgefield Park, N. J., where they have a modern club house and a membership of 500. I presume that Cliff is getting organized for our Twin Tenth.
The Boston Herald carried the story on May 6 to the effect that Warren Patten was married to Bettie C. Larrimore. Miss Larrimore is a native of Alaska and a graduate of Wellesley College.
Secretary, PROP. Hanover, N. H.
