CLASS OF 1917
HUSTLER-RICHMOND
"As you see, I am still doing business at the same old comer (Main and Center Sts., Brockton, Mass.), and since my father's very sudden death in the winter leaving me in charge of the business, I can claim without blushing to be genuinely busy."
DON RICHMOND.
LONESOME MELVIN
"It is rather tough to be located the way I am, where you never see a Dartmouth man, or very seldom. I did bump into Dan Harris here in town a few weeks ago. And being so far away (Bradford, Pa.), a trip back to Hanover cannot be made every month or so. I often envy you fellows in New England, especially during the football season."
PARKER MELVIN.
BOOSTER MYER
"Here's my check towards the Fund. I think the class is doing splendidly in the matter of finance."
JOE MYER.
COLBY IN CANADA
"I haven't been getting my Sentry lately, but know I neglected to send in my address. I am up here in Sackville, N. 8., connected with the University of Mt. Allison for at least a couple of years. I shall be in the States this summer."
CAKL COLBY.
NOSTALGIC MUDGETT
"This is the time of year to be in New Hampshire, and I wish that I could be there with you (this epistle is written to Hunk) and my old friend from Winthrop. However, the grind of business keeps me holding on here in New York."
MUDGE MUDGETT.
HIBERNATOR RUBEL
"Hibernating here in Crawfordsville, Ind., has its advantages as well as its disadvantages. At least the Mrs. and I lead a very secluded life. The height of entertainment is the 'talkies,' with a visit to the sugar bowl for light refreshments. It reminds me a little of Hanover, as Wabash College is located here with Prexy Hopkins' brother as president. There are the usual crowds of college boys to make whoopee when a game is won. Any visiting '17er will be welcome when passing through."
JIM RUBEL.
SALES MANAGER PAUL
"News is scarce here in South Jersey. I am holding down a job as sales manager for the T. C. Pox Lumber Company of Newfield, N. J. To all intents and purposes I am still living with my first wife and have two childdren, one girl of nine and one of the opposite, three years old and full of h—."
RUBS PAUL.
LOST AND FOUND GRAVES
"In order to follow your questionnaire, please take notice that I do not know any dirt about any of the class. If I did I would certainly send it along. As to stocks, being a poor struggling lawyer, I never had any; if I had I presume I would not have sold them in time. As to personal matters, I am trying to earn a living for myself and the one and only wife by practicing law as a member of the firm of Graves, Kizer, and Graves, 1230 Old National Bank Bldg., Spokane, Wash., at which place the keg of beer and other communications will be gratefully received."
BONES GBAVES.
(The Secretary bet Bones a keg that Bones wouldn't answer his letter).
The following item has come to the attention of the editors of the MAGAZINE, who herewith insert it for the interest it may hold for members of the class:
The announcement was made last week of the resignation of Lieut. John W. White, United States naval reserve, as commanding officer of the local reserve division. Business reasons are given as the cause of the resignation, which will take effect on Friday. It is probable that Lieut. Charles R. Byrne of Indian Orchard will take over the duties of commander.
Officials of the Springfield division, in expressing regret at the loss of Lieut. White as commanding officer, gave him a considerable share of the credit in the organizing and developing of the local unit. His influence has been noticeable in the activities of the post since he took command in 1925.
Much of the credit was given to him for the increase in enrollment, in the development of various drill equipment and in the morale of the organization during the past five years. His work is felt to be largely responsible for the effective functioning of the unit and the steady improvement in attendance and efficiency records which have brought praise to the local division from the highest commanding officers.
Lieut. White saw active sea duty during the war oil the New Hampshire, receiving his training at various naval stations on the Atlantic coast before being assigned to active duty on that ship. It was under his direction that the 12th fleet division increased in numbers from 12 men and two officers in 1925, to 60 men and six officers in 1926.
Secretary, 90 Colony Road, Longmeadow, Mass.
