CLASS OF 1921
The annual dinner of the Dartmouth Alumni Association of New York was held at the Hotel Plaza in New York city on Saturday evening, January 19, and 1921 had 18 representatives present at the affair. Evidently Saturday night was not a popular one with Twenty-oners, however, for a year ago we had over 30 men present, and already the drive is on to have a better turnout next year. Those on hand had the privilege of joining in one of the best New York alumni dinners which it has been ye see's good fortune to attend, and a world of credit is due Secretary Harry Chamberlaine for his part is arranging the get-together and its excellent program. Incidentally Harry was re-elected to the post of secretary of the New York crowd at the business meeting held during the dinner.
Those from 1921 present were: Rex King, Rog Bird, Red Kerlin, Mac Johnson, Cliff Hart, Sumner Perkins, Chuck Moreau, Bob Loeb, Jack Hubbell, Ort Hicks, Art Hickman, Harry Chamberlaine, Doc Rosenthal, Tracy Higgins, Ernie Wilcox, Ranson Wells, Doug Storer, and ye sec.
Tuning in on our radio New Year's eve to listen to the collegiate program of the Eveready hour put on under the direction of Remold Warrenrath, we thought we detected a familiar voice, especially when the singer tossed in a few bars from "Sweet Adeline" between numbers. And at the New York dinner Hog Bird admitted that we had been right and that he had been a member of the group putting on that very delightful program.
Cliff Hart contributes the following: "I've just had a letter from Gord Merriam. He writes from Paris—98 Rue d'Erlanger. He is officially connected with the U. S. consulate there, and is studying at the Ecole Nationale des Langues Orientales Vivantes, where he is taking up Arabic, Turkish, and Persian. After one more year of this he expects to return to consular duties in the Near East. Previous to his assignment to Paris, Gord was stationed at Beirut, Syria."
Our other consular representative, Ellis Briggs, again breaks into these columns. A list of transfers just issued by the U. S. Department of State included "Rollo's" name, and stated that he was being assigned to the State Department at Washington after several years at Lima, Peru.

The Lovell Cooks have moved from Flatbush to 279 Washington Ave., Brooklyn. Lovell is still in the insurance game in New York.
Doug Storer on a recent trip to Detroit ran into Ky Frost, who is still in charge of the children's wear department for the J. L. Hudson Company department store in the Michigan city. Ky resides in the nearby suburb of Grosse Pointe, with his family, which consists of a wife and two daughters.

Joe Lane, the furniture magnate from Chattanooga, Tenn., admits he's still among the eligible bachelors. He says there are no other events of note concerning himself, and that he'll fox me by sending in his card without a wisecrack to help me out.

He says that on a recent visit to Lewiston, Me., he saw Joe Walker, of whom Jim writes as follows: "Joe is married and has two children, and is in the same racket I am, textile, but Joe is in the manufacturing of blankets with the W. S. Libby Company of Lewiston."
Ed Luedke, who deserted the banking game in New Jersey some little while ago to enter the bindery business in New York city, has recently moved back to his old home, Milwaukee.
