CLASS OF 1923

ALL THE NEWS THAT'S UNFIT TO PRINT

Secretary, 102 North Sheridan Road, Highland Park, Ill.

It gives us a great deal of pleasure to lead off with our old contemporary in piracy, Arlon D. Albee. Al is a shoe manufacturer in Montreal, making turn shoes at 203 Vitre St., and sharing the proceeds with Mrs. Albee and Ann Grace. Pilgrims to Montreal are requested to look him up at 131 Arlington Ave., Westmount, Que.

The latest dope on E. W. (Ted) Taylor, one of the seven Taylors in the class, is as follows: Residence: 328 Belmont St., Wollaston, Mass.; ex-pastime: salesman for the Penn Metal Company of Cambridge, Mass.; current occupation: selling and doing his best to make the firm happy around the office of George Taylor and Company, jobbers of fireproof building materials. Ted has been married since 1925 and has a son.

Another Taylor, Jim, has been busy getting some final touches on his medical training, and when last reported was about to emerge into citizen's clothes and the practice of medicine at Johnstown, Pa. Loosh Ruder, my informant, says that Jim has lost a great deal of weight, but still retains the wellremembered black beard and thunderous voice. Loosh had dinner with him on the battleship Wyoming, and reports that Jim barks out the orders like a veteran train caller.

Ruder is with his brother in the manufacture of underwear somewhere in Ohio, has two children, looks extremely dapper and prosperous, has not lost the soulful look which has always made him the cynosure of all eyes, and was kind enough to pay your servant a long visit.

On the same day that Loosh came in to see us, we were honored with a visit from the boy-wonder of Rockford, Ill.—Karl Williams, state's attorney, ex-toggery salesman for the well known "Dartmouth Institution." Karl says that they can always tell in Rockford when the person before the bar is from Chicago by the steady stream of callers all bearing gifts (which Karl always declines) in an effort to ease the anguish and shorten the jail term of the rascal who has invaded the home town of Sammy Mandel.

Shortly after Karl's departure, George Plant dropped in. George has moved from Washington to New York and wears a trick hat and carries a brief case, but otherwise looks no different than he did these eleven long years ago. He comments on the high cost of children in New York, and we pass this on for the benefit of the dozen or so physicians and surgeons who graduated in the class of 1923 and who should be doing George's obstetrical work.

Molly Meier after his release from conditions in Hanover which proved irksome in the spring of 1921, went down to Brown and graduated there in 1924. After this naive experience, he spent some time at Columbia Law School. Since then his affiliation with the firm of Lindabury, Depue and Faulks in Newark, N. J., has proved very satisfactory. He says he is not married, "and how," and lives at 59 Ridgewood Ave., Glenridge, N. J.

Orginally a slave for the Bell Telephone Company at Pittsburgh, Donald C. Snyder is now with Moore, Leonard and Lynch of the New York Stock Exchange, located in Pittsburgh. He plays golf and tennis in the summer and reads in the winter, but escaped the horrors of Black Friday. His advice is to buy your stuff outright and don't trust a lodge brother. From the scanty notes at hand, we gather that a brother in the bond has captured the affections of a certain party who otherwise might have become Mrs. Donald C. Snyder.

Here is a fellow, Erwin H. Schultz, who has had the unusual experience since leaving college of keeping busy raising a family and holding down a job, said family consisting of the former Elizabeth Isbell, now his good wife, and their charming children, Virginia Elizabeth Schultz and Howard Erwin Schultz. The whole pack lives on Little Mountain Road, Mentor, Ohio, which is a small town 25 miles from Cleveland.

One of the features of our Fifth Reunion which will make that occasion live in the memory of each of us who attended was the presence of Mrs. Ike Coulter. As a matter of fact, it has occurred to your correspondent a number of times that the process by which Ike, good fellow that he is, succeeded in getting Barbara Goddard to listen to his pleas must have been worthy of Demosthenes or Jerry Sullivan. Anyhow, they were both there, and if I recall correctly so was William Goddard Coulter, aged, at that time, about six months, a fine chap indeed. Young William's dad is the main squeeze around the W. J. Coulter Press, and he is a fine fellow, but I wish to leave with you the thought that his wife is a very fine fellow too.

George Morrell, pork packer of Ottumwa, lowa, is not entitled to much space in this magazine owing to frequent appearances here of his name, and he must be satisfied this time with a reference to his brother John, a member of the class of 1933, Dartmouth College.

Little did the peaceful citizens of Brookline, Mass., foresee the bitter factional struggles which were in store for them when, on a beautiful June day in 1923, Bill Bowker received his sheepskin and set out to conquer the world. As a matter of fact, neither did Bill, until after a short spell in the insurance business he became a town meeting member, and member of the Planning Board as a part of the Brookline political picture. Last February, as the result of a keen six-cornered fight, Bill landed on the board of selectmen, receiving the highest number of votes cast for any member. As this is the highest political office in Brookline, we may feel justified in being proud of Philip G. Bowker, so hard at work with the affairs of the people of Brookline that he is worn to a frazzle in their service, only finding time to coach the crew of the Stone School of Boston. When you cannot find him in the back of some saloon with his political buddies, try 322 Harvard St., Brookline.

So far as we know, Wade Kepner is our only mortician, being a member of the firm of Carl J. Kepner and Son, funeral directors, 1308 Chapline St., Wheeling, W. Va. Wade divides his time between his good wife and two cute daughters, his business, directors' meetings of the Fulton Bank and Trust Company, the joys and satisfaction to be found in the membership of the Fort Henry Club, various country clubs, Kiwanis Club, Masonic lodge (in which he is a 32d degree mason and Shriner), Elks (of which he is Exalted Ruler of Wheeling Lodge No. 28) Knights of Pythias, D. O. K. K., Odd Fellows, and the vice-presidency of the West Virginia State Funeral Directors Association, and the affairs of the Ohio Valley Funeral Directors Association.

Those of us who were freshmen in the Reed-Thornton sector of the campus (and the cream of the class was without question located in these two buildings) will instantly recall Schuyler W. Crunden who left our midst during the freshman year for Columbia. Since graduation in 1925, Schuyler has found time to marry and beget one child, Richard Mark Crunden, and to become commercial training supervisor of the New York Telephone Company, along with an extensive European tour in the summer of 1924.

Roger Carlton is probably familiar to most of you who live on the Atlantic seaboard because of his work with the American Tel. and Tel. in developing and testing aircraft radio telephone transmitters. He has had 25 hours in the "Flying Telephone Booth," a broadcasting plane which has been used in this work. Prior to this special work he was associated with A 1 Cate of the L. E. Knott Apparatus Company of Cambridge, the same Cate who helped Nat Burleigh in Tuck School. After this experience, Roger helped keep Jess Hawley in college through his participation in the promotion of the Hawley loud speaker. Carlton is married, has a daughter, and lives at 91 Prospect St., East Orange, N. J.

Randolph Downes, one of our few Ph.D.'s, instructs in history at the University of Pittsburgh, following similar positions at the University of Wisconsin, Ohio State, and Marietta College, the place where Charley Dawes received his education. Downes has published monographs and articles of a historical nature in various historical magazines, including the Mississippi Valley HistoricalReview. He is a member of the American Historical Association, the Mississippi Valley Historical Association, Ohio State Archaeological and Historical Society.

Cap Palmer writes us that Bob Smith is a partner in Bloom, South and Gurney, Boston, specialty floors, that Win Wadleigh is assistant attorney general for the state of New Hampshire, and that Doc Morgan, who is still with Henry W. Savage Company, real estate, lives in Brookline and just had a daughter.

Cap tells us that he only uses his trombone or his drums, etc., when undesirables are inspecting the next apartment with a view towards renting. Cap has sold over 100 cars of building material to the College, and has spent many an hour trying to rent the old Chi Phi House, which has been moved and is now a real bargain.

Bob Maxwell for the last three years has been with Lane, Piper and Jeffrey, Inc., investment securities, Minneapolis, in Room 1200 of the First National Soo Line Building. After he graduated from Dartmouth, Bob did graduate work for two years at Harvard, and was an instructor at the University of Minnesota for one year.

Walt Maroney is assistant treasurer of Briggs, Maroney Company, Inc., paint, putty, and varnish manufacturers. The Maroneys, including little Jim, live at 85 Paris St., Everett, Mass.

LATE FLASH: "Insurance" Ward Hilton has an 81/2 lb. son born with four teeth on November 30, 1929.

We reproduce herewith the newspaper account from the New York Times of an event which has set all the tongues in Summit, N. J., a-wagging, followed by a letter from the lucky fellow himself:

"Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Frederick Flindell of Summit, N. J., have announced the engagement of their daughter, Miss Leonora Flindell, to Karl Otis Klaren, son of Mrs. John Hugo Klaren of New Bedford and the late Rev. Klaren.

"Miss Flindell was graduated from Kent Place School, and has studied music here and in Paris. Mr. Klaren was graduated from Dartmouth in 1923. He is a member of Alpha Chi Rho fraternity, the Canoe Brook Country Club and the Dartmouth Club, and is with the Irving Trust Company of this city.

"The wedding will take place in early spring."

Dear Metz: I enclose a clipping announcing that I am engaged to Miss Lee Flindell, who is the sister of Ed. He was in our class, as you may remember, so you see I'm trying not to let any other college influence get into that family. Ed is the father of a future Dartmouth lad and also of a lassie, but I can't predict her future alma mater.

We plan to be married in the spring, and will likely continue to reside in Summit. It's near enough to New York to lose money on the exchange.

Best regards,

Karl Otis Klaren

(34 DeBary Place, Summit, N. J.)

P. S. Have been with the Irving Trust Company since leaving Hanover. When our new building is completed, I'll be at 1 Wall St. At present in Woolworth Building, New York city.

THE LATE NEWS FROM COUNCIL BLUFFS, lOWA

Dear Metz: I'll make an attempt to peddle a little information concerning myself. It's not a very interesting subject, but I'll do the best I can.

After leaving Dartmouth, I lit in Battle Creek, Mich., and stayed there about a year and a half working in a bank. Now I'm living at home (Council Bluffs), and working in Omaha, Neb. I'm a teller in the Conservative Savings and Loan Association. I've been with them for five years. I have nice hours, very little to do, and everything is jake, except all the officers are in too good health, so opportunities are small for the immediate future.

I'm still single, and the chances are I'll be that way for a while. Being a bachelor, I have no children to speak of.

Thanks for the news you are putting out in the ALUMNI MAGAZINE. If everyone has held out on you like I've done in the past, what a hell of a time you must have had gathering information. If I run across anything of interest, I'll write.

Sincerely,

Frank G. Damon

(214 Furley Ave., Council Bluffs, la.)

BOOKWORMS TAKE NOTICE

Dear Metz: I myself, have the honor of answering your letter to the house dated January 27. This letter head is all that is necessary to answer the very simple question contained in your letter. However, in case you want a brief summary of my activities since leaving Hanover (for future reference in case I croak or something) permit me: September, 1923, went to Harvard to become a lawyer. Hated it, and quit in March, 1924. Took litt. courses during second semester—did not return in the fall of 24 to complete work for M. A. Some day like to. Took up newspaper work on Buffalo Times in 24, worked two years steadily, and then began to free-lance. Published a few short stories and poems under the pseudonym of "Sven Halla," and tried to write the great modern literary masterpiece. Unsuccessful. Then began translating from the Norwegian—hackwork.

March 11, 1929, combined capital with a young Norwegian friend of mine, Mr. Ewald Hagen, and organized Gay-Hagen, Inc. First class bookstore, located in the Hotel Statler Building, 160 Franklin St., entrance from hotel lobby. The Franklin Arcade of the hotel is known as Dartmouth Row, a nextdoor neighbor is the Statler Men's Shop, owned and operated by Art Graham '24. Ford Turgeon '23, insurance, is also in the "Row."

Last September I spent two flowery weeks on the charming water-front of Chicago, and during this time was married to Miss Lola Olszewska, a charming and cultured Polish girl of this city. More power to Chicago 'tis the slickest place I ever visited. Advise that you have dinner some evening at the Shoreland Hotel—that is if you prefer classical music to jazz. (As you probably remember, I do!) Chicago is the only city I have visited during the past six years where I have not run into classmates in every hotel lobby, on every street corner and in every speak-easy. Where do you keep the lads out there?

I see something of the Buffalo '23 delegation, although not a hell of a lot. Harold Baker is a good customer of our splendid book place. I have caught Horace Taylor crossing the street occasionally, but he's grown fat as a tub and is hard to recognize. He and his friend Dicky Thompson, also '23, keep to their wives and buy no books. Carl N. Reed is a fat smug business man in the lithograph business and reads nothing but the financial page of the newspaper—also perhaps since he is a lithographer, he has learned to look at pictures.

But so have we all deflated ourselves and settled down to Babbitry. However I have one little bright corner left for my 'art life' as I said before, I have during the past six years developed a working knowledge of the Norwegian language, and this summer Coward-McCann of New York will bring out my translation of Knut Hamsun's last big novel, "Vagabonds," $3.00 at all bookstores, including our own.

Hope you can get a note sometime on Manny Rubin '23. I've lost his address, and have long wondered if he is still aspiring genius of the violin or a good solid secretary in his father's pants factory. (Ed. note: Rubin at Diamond Shoe Company, Brockton, Mass.)

Thanks for the opportunity to talk about myself—even the insignificant enjoy it at times.

Yours sincerely,

Eugene Gay Tifft

(Gay-Hagen, Inc., 160 Franklin St., Buffalo)

AN OPEN LETTER TO BEVO BEVERIDGE

Kindly call on Heine Bourne, space buyer for the Griswold Eshleman Company. Cleveland, Ohio.

Heine got married last September to Jane Mackintosh, and they live at 18408 Winslow Road, Shaker Heights, Cleveland, Ohio. He reports when last he saw "Go" Bliss, Spring-field's baldest nesw paperman, that his ("Go's") ports that Phil Smith is a confirmed bachelor. He wants the Dartmouth football team to come West again soon.

Now for one of the local boys: George W.

Whiteside of Hinsdale, Ill., neighbor of "Piano" Butch Kimball and Chicago manager of Fortune, new monthly magazine* published by Time, a weekly news magazine. George has worked for O'Mara and Ormsbee, Inc., national publishers' representatives, for the Milwaukee Journal, Better Homes andGardens, for the Saturday Evening Post, and for Erwin Wasey and Cos., Ltd., since 1920, when he left Hanover to joust with the world. George makes a point of patronizing the New York Dartmouth Club and is sorry that he never runs across more than a couple of 23 men there, and this bothers him not a little because his Yale and Harvard friends entertain him at their clubs (presumably paying his fare). George is already including in his weekly contribution to the old sock a little something to take him to Hanover for the Big Tenth in '33.

Here is a fellow who objects to the scarcity of 1923 news in the ALUMNI MAGAZINE, and so contributes his mite as follows:

Name: Philip E. Deßerard.

Address: 1218 Harlem Blvd., Rockford, Ill.

Assets: Wife and 3 children,—2 girls and 1 boy.

Previous Experiences: Salesman for Albert Pick and Company, lunchroom hardware.

Salesman for Felt and Tarrant Manufacturing company. Office manager for Gray-Yon Allmen Milk Company, Louisville.

Present pastime: Sales manager Estwing Manufacturing Company, Rockford, Ill., manufacturers of "Unbreakable" hammers and hatchets.

Norman S. (Cy) Gordon, 1535 East 60th St., Chicago, and during the day at Ditto, Inc., Harrison and Oakley Blvd., Chicago, is a philosopher. Witness his purchase of an electric fan costing $4.74 in lieu of orchids for his wife during the hot spell last Septem- ber following several heated discussions in the home. Cy has also learned to play bridge and is elated about this discovery. Between sessions with J. Walter Thompson Company, LaSalle Extension University, Robbins Gamwell and Company,'he has coached a prairie football team and traveled the country fore and aft with goods to sell. He is now purchasing agent for Ditto, and is planning a little love nest out in the tall grass known to the old settlers as The Slough and to the realtors as the Skokie Valley, out where your correspondent lives. Swede Swenson sells boxes for the General Box Company, Chicago, in the New York territory, living at 170 Berkeley St., Rochester.

R. H. Macy, realizing that with man power you can do anything, decided that Frank O'Gara was the kind of a fellow who would knock them over in Toledo, Ohio, and thereupon purchased the LaSalle and Koch Company in that city and installed Frank as merchandise manager. He took with him to Toledo his bride of a few weeks, Marie Driscoll, who graduated from Smith in '26, and installed her in the Ira Apartments, Dorr St. and Parkside Blvd. Your correspondent has looked forward to a promised visit from you, Frank, for a long time.

HOT DOPE FROM A FRIGID AIRE EXECUTIVE

I live at 25 Lowden Ave., West Somerville, Mass., and recently married Madelyn Williams of Welch, W. Va., who graduated from the University of West Virginia, where she was a member of Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority, during which time she made a carnival pilgrimage to see me and the ice and snow. For four years my profession was selling shoes, during which time I had the good fortune to meet with many members of the class. Saw Jim McCabe, Mrs. Jim, and their fine daughter Patricia in Winnipeg, where Jim does his stuff in the grain exchange. While in New Orleans I had luncheon with Danny Dantzler, who had not seen a member of the class since graduation. My stay of nearly a year in Chicago was pleasant except for an occasional meeting with our class secretary, whose bright and husky twin boys are better than he deserves. Today I am selling Frigidaires in Boston. Mr. and Mrs. Ed Crowley are the proud parents of a new daughter, Marion Louise.

Best regards,

ED LYLE
