CLASS OF 1911

The fall football games have continued to bring back many Eleveners, so that there has always been a small cheering section for each home game, as well as the Yale and Harvard games.

The parties in Boston prior to the Harvard game were as pleasant as usual, although there were fewer in attendance. It would seem as if many of the class had anticipated what the weather would be, and did not plan to go to the game this year. Although there were about 40 at the City Club dinner, the chief item of note, in the sense that it was his first occasion since leaving Hanover when he had attended a 1911 party, was the presence of Bowler Johnson. Bowler surely was his same old self, but there were few who recognized him on sight. Most of the crowd was the local Massachusetts crowd, augment- ed by Warren Agry from New York, Jake Lovejoy from Naugatuck Valley, and the faithful few New Hampshirites, who always appear.

Apparently the noon luncheon at The Commander in Cambridge before the game was considered a successful innovation. Over 60 were present, and found it a con- venient means of getting to Cambridge in advance of the crowd, a chance to partake of their buffet lunch at their convenience, in- terspersed with a little close harmony, and, much handshaking by all. Undoubtedly had the day been better the attendance would have been much larger, as many who had promised to come did not show up.

Favorable reports are still coming in from lagging classmates, saying they will be here next June. I hope that many more answers will be received soon, however, as there is still a large list of unanswered letters. A second appeal has been sent to all to fill in their letters for the Class Report, but this apparently only got a second six.

Dave Hcald is now president and general manager of French and Heald Company, having been advanced from his old position of vice-president and assistant manager.

The latest from Troy Parker, arriving from San Diego, Cal,, shows him apparently en route to his ranch in the Black Hills. At least his assurance is that he is waiting for fair weather before making the trip back to these same hills.

Gerry Barnes is in business for himself as an agent and broker of insurance at 548 South Spring St., Los Angeles, Cal.

Ky Byrnes writes: “Been in Europe 1929 also 1930, trying to ‘sight see,’ sell some ideas, and play golf under 90.” Ky is still scouting- for the Colgate football team.

Either Jack Coggins has opened up a third office or else he has moved one of his others to 217 East Front St., Plainfield, N. J. Jack must now, however, share the honors of the city with Gabe Campbell, who has recently moved and is living at 1151 Hillside Ave.

Percy Deshon signs himself as manager of the real estate department of the United Cigars Stores Cos., Pacific Coast Division, at 530 West 6th St., Los Angeles.

Harlan Don Carlos has been promoted from assistant chief adjuster to associate chief adjuster of the Travelers Insurance Company of Hartford, Conn.

Gabe Farrell has not yet been given public credit for Naomi, born November 27 last.

I was delighted to see Jim Gaylord in Hanover lately, who brought his young son up for the Byrd celebration. It was certainly good to see Jim around again after his long illness.

Neal Hotaling, if one were to judge from his business addresses, is now operating two stores in Pasadena, one at 54 East Colorado St., and the other at 921 on the same street.

wee Kimball lias just returned from a nine weeks’ trip to the Pacific Coast, where he has been, supposedly, on a business trip.

I expect that Ernest Morrill and Troy Parker will be getting together soon, both being located in the Black Hills of South Dakota, and Ernest having his “Welcome” sign out for all visiting brethren.

John Scotford is becoming a well-known writer and lecturer. I have heard from dif- ferent sources that the results of his recent wanderings through South America and Mexico have given him a multitude of in- teresting facts which he is relating most en- tertainingly to his many audiences.

Hen Seaver has changed his job to go with the National Cash Credit Corporation of New Brunswick, N. J.. he now being manager of this outfit.

Rath Sprague is prolonging his annual visit to the United States in order to take in the football games I presume, although it may possibly be to enjoy the quiet of the country compared with the excitement which the papers report in Cuba.

Herb ('lark adds to the list of his children, Sam Charles, horn last March.

Bob Barstow was invited to conduct the services in the College Chapel on Sunday, November 9, and as might be expected, did his usual fine job.
