CLASS OF 1921

The cards received to date are very cheering, for they indicate that '21's Big Tenth in June is going to be big in numbers as well as in everything else. The answers to our query about the chances for getting back to Hanover are "perfect" and "0.K." and ■"good" in the overwhelming number of cases. And, of course, you are going to be there too. :So let's have your favorable answer now if you have not already done so.

Before we go any further, we want to correct a very glaring error of omissibn in the November notes. When we read the MAGAZINE over, we were horrified to find that there was no mention of "Dutch" Bausher in the list of former members of Palaeopitus. We had a firm recollection of having listed him, but as the MAGAZINE just doesn't leave out whole paragraphs of our stuff, we'll have to admit that the mistake is probably ours. In .any case the secretarial bonnet is scraped on the ground in apology and we beg leave to report, belatedly though it be, that "Dutch" is a thriving manufacturer in Reading, Pa., with a family of two girls and one boy.

And now for the cards: "Bud" Richart, the Westchester realtor, has moved out further from his office in New York, and now sports the home address of R. F. D. 2, Mt. Kisco, N. Y. Incidentally "Bud" stands ready to show what a fine suburban community Westchester county is to any Twenty-oners seeking to move out from the big town.

Stan White, who is with an accounting firm in Boston, announces the birth of a daughter on October 27, making, so Stan reports, "two of a kind." The Whites live at 11 Belfry Terrace in Lexington.

Prof. Nels Smith, in addition to teaching economics to the youth of Dartmouth, has been made a member of the New England Governors' Railroad Committee.

Henry Palmer, who is chief chemist for the Xylos Rubber Company of Akron, Ohio, has been made a member of the executive committee of the rubber division of the American Chemical Society. Henry has a second son, Neal Richard Palmer, who was born July 25.

Dick Dickinson writes in from Amherst, Mass., as follows: "1921 once more celebrated Wet-Down in the Harvard Stadium October 25. More than one Twenty-oner camped on Bill Cunningham's Boston Post through four moist, oozy periods of football. Mayor Sullivan, A1 Brailey, Eli Smith, El Harper, and Reg Miner, among others, absorbed a spongeful that afternoon."

We understand that the class had a dinner in the Hub on the eve of the Harvard battle, but as we haven't yet gleaned all the details, we'll put that off until our next contribution.

Speaking of class dinners, Ort is planning to have some good parties staged at the Dartmouth Club in New York this winter, for the benefit of the gang in and around New York, .and has appointed the following committee to take charge: Cliff Hart, chairman, Bob Loeb, Doug Storer, and Rex King.

Durward De Groff, who is connected with the First National Bank of Amsterdam, N. Y., reports the birth of his third child, Miss Margaret Marie De Groff, who was born July 24. Durward now has two daughters and one son.

Charlie Johnson, who is still connected with the Gulf Refining Company's Boston office, writes: "No news—except a new dog." But Charlie does not explain, as Nat Wills used to, what killed the old one.

A 1 Green admits from Syracuse, N. Y., that he is still helping get out the Syracuse Post Standard.

Steff Frederiksen reports from Little Falls, N. Y., that he is connected with the Hansen Laboratory there.

There is at least one '21 youngster whose debut we've failed to chronicle, but even this belatedly we welcome to the fold Miss Jeanne Thomas, the 21-months-old daughter of the Ken Thomases.

"C. D." Bassett forwards the good word from Aberdeen, S. D., that he is still a banker connected with the Aberdeen National Bank and Trust Company.

Jim Stanley reports from Oxford, Maine, where he is superintendent of the plant of the Robinson Manufacturing Company, woolen manufacturers, that Larry Boardman dropped in on him last summer while vacationing nearby. Jim also announced having one large time at Chick Stiles' wedding last spring.

Speaking of summer vacations, while holidaying at Orleans on Cape Cod last summer we spotted a very husky and prosperous looking gentleman on the beach with his wife and two youngsters, a boy and a girl, and on approaching nearer we found our first guess had been right. It was Hoy Schulting, the Passaic, N. J., insurance magnate. Hoy reported it was the first real vacation he had had in nine years, and he looked as if he were enjoying it to the full.

The engagement of Joe Vance, the Detroit barrister, to Miss Jeanne Gilchrist, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Gilchrist of Detroit, was recently announced.

Dr. Neil Forbes of Astoria, L. 1., reports he has one daughter not quite two years old.

We have a bank director in our midst in the person of Tracy Higgins, who is a director of the Lafayette National Bank in Brooklyn. In addition Tracy has followed in his father's footsteps as president of Charles M. Higgins and Company, Brooklyn ink manufacturers, and he is also president of Davids Brothers, Inc.

Walt Wolfe, the psychiatrist, was recently made a director of the Community Church Mental Hygiene Clinic in New York.

Paul Belknap pleads guilty to continuing as publisher of the Greenfield Recorder in Greenfield, Mass.

Bob Loeb, our former neighbor in Larchmont, has deserted the suburbs for the big town, and now resides at 424 East 52d St., New York city. Bob (Sundays and holidays excepted) is a lawyer at 26 Liberty St., New York.

Paul Rosenthal, famed Wall St. man, reports the arrival of his second daughter.

"Red" Kerlin is now in charge of sales research for the National Carbon Company and is still connected with their New York office.

Dr. Nels Barker has become a member of the permanent staff of the department of internal medicme of the Mayo Clinic at Rochester, Minn. Nels has two youngsters, Miss Sylvia Barker, aged three and a half, and David Nelson Barker, aged one, whom Nels has already lined up for the class of 1950.

Bob Rouillard is now a book inspector at the Widener Library at Harvard. Bob reports his marriage on June 27, 1929.

Capron Payson is cashing in on the Tom Thumb golf craze. After considerable activity in the golfing field in Massachusetts this summer, Capron has adjourned to Crescent City, Ela., for the winter.

While passing through the New Haven station on the way to the Yale Bowl a week ago we ran into Hal Geilich, who was down from Brockton, Mass., for the game. Hal reported that on a recent trip through the Middle West he saw Warry Clark in Burlington, lowa, and that Warry was growing stout. (That's nothing to worry about, Warry. I get accused of the same thing quite often.) There was even some suggestion that Warry was getting in such form that Norm Crisp might like to use him at tackle or guard, although we can't quite picture that. Anyway Hal says Warry is still making furniture par excellence.

And now, as the deadline bell rings loud and clear, we'll lift the secretarial lid in farewell, stopping only to suggest that if you haven't mailed your card yet, we'd like it. Merry Christmas!

Secretary, 7 Lotus Road, New Rochelle, N. Y.
