CLASS OF 1910
Don Bryant reports that enough members are paying their dues so that we are able to just about break even in our plan of sending the ALUMNI MAGAZINE to every member. There are still quite a number who haven't paid their dues for the past year, and Don will much appreciate receiving checks from any such delinquents. By the time you read this the Fund will be a matter of history, so perhaps you can send Don the smaller amount represented by our class dues. Buck Allen goes next fall to the River School in Brookline as head master. This is a fine school, and means a very definite step up for Buck.
Art Lord gave me the above piece of news and reports that he has very little to tell of himself. He is now living in Newton, as you may remember, and says he is busy trying to cultivate a garden. Guess I will have to drop in and see whether this is flower or vegetable.
Perhaps you noticed recently where a Mrs. Nay secured first prize in a letter contest about the woman's page in the Boston Herald. This is none other than our Mrs. "Win" Nay.
Ridgewood (N. J.) seems to have an attraction for 1910 men. Ray Cutler moved there recently, and now Higbee writes he is located at 201 Linwood Ave., that city.
Hoitt Charlton has left Boston, and is now located in Rochester, N. Y., with the Yawman and Erbe Company. He is living at 236 Pioneer St., Rochester. Chad has been located in Montana, and is now living at Lake McDonald, Belton, Mont.
Harry Mitchell is now research director for the Speer Carbon Company of St. Mary's, Pa., where he has been living for some time. Notice comes through the Alumni Office that Hutch is no longer in Paris, but is now located at 1039 Martin Rd., Ann Arbor, Mich. What this change means I don't know as yet. We will have to wait until we hear from him.
Easty saw Walter Price recently, the first Tenner Walter had seen since graduation. The two staged quite a reunion, and Easty sent me the following account of Walter's life since 1910:
The first year out he was on the road selling shoes, or, at least, trying to sell shoes, to the colored folks through the South. He said it was tough going, for all the colored folks go barefoot in the South, and it took him a year to find it out. He finally landed in Indianapolis and settled down to teaching school, and has kept at it for eighteen years. He has been principal of his school in Indianapolis for several years, but is resigning this June to give his entire time to voice culture. Mrs. Price died about a year ago, and Walter is left alone after eighteen years of a happy married life. He has no children to provide for, and feels that he can afford to follow up a hobby in earnest. He has been very successful in his school in teaching his little colored folks to sing, and had about a thousand little colored boys and girls participating in voice work in some form or other. Mr. Oscar Seagle of Schroon Lake, N. Y., became acquainted with him, and urged him to join him at Schroon Lake and develop his voice. He says he may surprise himself and everybody else yet and turn out to be a song bird. Walter's address, after July 1, will be care of Mr. Oscar Seagle, Music Colony, Schroon Lake, N. Y.
Joe Davidson has been compelled by ill health to give up work, and has been advised to live out in the open for the next two or three years. He is planning to rough it in the West.
Ray Seymour has at last deserted the thinning ranks of the bachelors, as evidenced by the following from the New York World of June 21: "The marriage of Miss Marie Webster, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Albert Webster of Saegerstowri, Pa., to Raymond B. Seymour, son of Charles W. Seymour of New York and the late Mrs. Seymour, took place yesterday afternoon. The Rev. J. Howard Tate performed the ceremony, which was followed by a reception at Sherry's. Mrs. Hubert Teitman of this city was matron of honor and only bridal attendant. Mr. Seymour's best man was Lincoln D. Whyte of Rutherford, N. J., and the ushers were Norman L. Stone of Mount Vernon, Henry G. Seipp and Hubert Teitman, both of New York. The bride attended the University of Chicago, and later received the degree of Master of Arts from Columbia University. For the past three years she has been a member of the faculty of the English department at Hunter College, where she taught a course in journalism. Mr. Seymour was graduated from Dartmouth College, class of 1910, and later from Columbia University School of Law, class of 1913. He is now associated with the firm of McNamara and Seymour, 120 Broadway. He served at the Mexican border with Squadron A of New York city, and was lieutenant of infantry in the World War. Mr. Seymour is a member of the Sons of the Revolution, Dartmouth College Club, the Association of the Bar of the City of New York, and the American Bar Association. The couple are sailing for Europe today, and upon their return will live in this city."
Juddy writes a nice long letter, accounting for every one in his vicinity as follows: "I have been helping Russ Palmer with the Alumni Fund drive, but have not got out to see any of the boys yet. Of our class Henry Comey very seldom puts in his appearance and I rarely ever see him. George Davies gets around to the Dartmouth Club occasionally, but is located several miles from the center of town and it is rather hard for him to get around. Of course Hank Haserot can be heard by any Dartmouth man if he is in the county. For the last month he has been in England trying to unload his canned peas and pineapple on unsuspecting subjects. Hank is the same as ever, with the exception that he may be a trifle noisier and beginning to show his age by added weight. Dave Johnson, although a very substantial supporter to the Fund, seems too busy sitting on boards of directors of a score or more firms to show himself at the Club. I run into him occasionally, and he is the same good old Dave and I know he would give more time to the Dartmouth Club if somebody would invent thirtysix-hour days to take the place of twentyfour. John Mitchell is quite active running Lakewood High School and trying to keep my two oldest boys in school, and I still have confidence enough in John to feel that he will at least do his best towards getting them in Dartmouth in a couple of years. Julius Warren is helping John run Lakewood High and helping all other principals run their schools in Lakewood, and he seems to have time still to run the Rotary Club of Lakewood, make speeches in four or five other clubs each week, and with his charming wife has time to occasionally drop in for a little bridge with his friends in Lakewood. Adolph Bresler seems to be sticking close to business, and although he was with our class only a short time was glad to kick into the Alumni Fund last year to show that he was with the class and the College. Roy Norris is too busy selling bonds to get around to the Club, but seems to be able to keep all his friends by selling bonds to other people."
The sons of 1910 are still being reported. You note Juddy speaks of his two oldest. I don't know how many he has. Henry Collins reports a husky two year old, Thomas, to add to the list.
Secretary, 40 Florence Ave., Norwood, Mass.
