CLASS OF 1899
News of the second generation of '99 is as much sought after these days as of the "Old Guard." The big family idea has so taken hold of the class membership that the foremost question among the fellows is often, "How's that boy?" or, "How's that girl?" Here are four of the recent answers.
Jim Barney's oldest boy, Wendell R. Barney, Dartmouth 1929, is married. The bride is Miss Matilda E. Robertson of Dorchester, a graduate of the Posse-Nissen School in Boston in 1928, and an assistant in the work of Dr. Thomas F. Wheeldon in Richmond, Va. The marriage ceremony occurred at midnight, New Year's Eve, in the chapel of Grace and Holy Trinity church in Richmond. The young couple are now at home at 1535 West Ave. in that city.
Among successors to the legendary athletic glory of the class, list William L. Hutchinson, Jr. He has been elected captain of the soccer team at Penn State.
With all due respect to the class of 1901, we count Ned Warren as nearly a '99 man as any one well can be. So it's with special pleasure that we report the engagement of Mrs. Warren's daughter, Miss Julia Mentzer, to Charles P. Golding, Williams '25. Ned and Mrs. Warren, Miss Mentzer, and Mr. Golding were all guests at our Thirtieth, last June.
John Ash's daughter, Mabel G. Ash, is visiting John's aunts in South Lawrence, Mass. Mabel had taken no vacation for several years, and has always wanted to experience a New England winter. Remembering her dad's share in making the first skis used in Hanover, we can quite understand her interest in the matter. On the way East in October she visited with friends in Missouri. Her Christmas in Massachusetts was her first away from home folks, but she's had a wonderful time. Incidentally she's taking up ice skating, a rare sport in her own state of Oregon.
Among others present at the annual Dartmouth dinner in New York on January 18, were Joe Gannon, Ikey Leavitt, and Rodney Sanborn.
By the way, Joe Gannon's address as printed in the recent report was not quite clear. It's as follows: residence, 21 East 10th St., business, 229 West 43d St.
The boys are gradually pushing south, and Harry Wason may be in danger sometime of losing his fame as Farthest South. His latest rival is Dr. Everett V. Hardwick. Ev and his wife are spending the winter at Orlando, Fla.
Walter Eastman celebrated New Year's Day by accumulating one more railroad bonbon. This time it's the general passenger agency of the Grand Trunk Western Railway. Walter's headquarters are still at Chicago.
We still have to go half way around the world to keep tabs on Peddy Miller. Peddy was giving a course of lectures on sociology at the Yen-ching University at Peking last December first, when he was asked to join an official party starting out to make a survey of the famine region in China. Mrs. Miller went to Manila, where '99's traveler-lecturer and lecturer-traveler will have joined her long before this column is read. Thence they will resume their journey to India and Beirut.
