CLASS OF 1921
Ned Price, barrister, treasurer, and man about town, has shifted the scene of his activities from Reading, Pa., to Chicago, having recently returned to Illinois' leading city to join his father's law firm of Musgrave, Oppenheim, and Price. Ned's new business address is 904 First National Bank Building, Chicago, and he is living at 2006 Sheridan Road, Evanston.
Ned celebrated his return to Chicago by attending the March dinner of the Chicago '21 crowd, at which the following others were present: Bill Embree, Ken Thomas, Dud Robinson, Rock Grundman, Dick Hart, and Harry Mosser.
The annual dinner of the Dartmouth alumni of Boston was held at the Hotel Statler in the Hub during March, and the following from '21 were on hand: Phil New hall Rog Wilde, George Cavis, Stan White, Bob Mayo, "Red" Payson, Frank Lambert, Manny Manchester, Bill Owen, and Charley Stickney.
Not to be outdone by their colleagues from Chicago and Boston, the '21 gang in New York had a dinner at the Dartmouth Club on Monday evening, March 10. Ye sec. was unfortunately out of town, so missed the party, but Ort, who called the roll for us, reports the party was a highly successful one, quite the opposite, in fact, from the basketball game with Columbia to which the crowd adjourned after the meal. The meal was greatly enlivened, our proxy reports, by one Rollo Briggs, who recently was transferred back to the U. S. A. from Lima, Peru, by his boss, the Department of State. Rollo has since moved on to Washington, but at the time he was spending a few days with his father and mother in Riverdale. Boston was represented by Ed Page, who was in town on business and dropped in for the party. The others out were: Bunny Gardner, Oky O'Connor, Hilt Campbell, Bill Alley, Red Kerlin, Cliff Hart, Rex King, Coot Carder, Ort Hicks, Jack Hubbell, Lym Worthington, Paul Nicholson, Dick Libby, Mac Johnson, and Herm Noyes.
The Cosmopolitan Book Corporation recently published "The Pattern of Life" by Alfred Adler. The volume, which consists of case histories, chiefly of problem children, was compiled and edited by Dr. Walter Wolfe, who contributed a lengthy introductory essay.
Bill Fowler, doing the good job of digging up one of our questionnaire cards, writes in as follows: "Am still practising law with Putnam, Bell, Dutch, and Santry at 60 State St., Boston, but I have managed to get up into New Hampshire skiing nearly every Sunday this winter. On March 9 I skied up Mt. Moosilauke and saw the D. O. C. gang again after a nine years' absence. They were holding the down mountain ski race that weekend. The carriage road was extremely fast. Two of the boys got sprained ankles, and everyone got a spill."
"Bump" Ward, also following the same exemplary method, says: "Guess I was in Lewiston, Maine, when last dropped you a card. Am now managing the Hartford, Conn., office of the Beneficial Operating Bureau, the same concern for which I was working in Lewiston. At last accounts I was still married and had a three-year-old son, who I hope will knock 'em dead in Hanover about 1948."
A recent statement filed with the Massachusetts Commissioner of Corporations and Taxation by the Seventy Federal Street Realty Corporation of Boston showed as its treasurer William H. Owen, Jr., who is none other than Bill Owen '21. It is understood that the Seventy Federal Street Corporation is aligned in some manner with the banking house of Lee, Higginson and Company of 70 Federal St., Boston, due not only to the address, but also to the fact that the directors of the Seventy Federal Street Corporation are all partners in Lee, Higginson and Company, a firm with which our Bill is also connected.
Al Laffey uses the card route to report his marriage on November 27, 1929, to Miss Ruth M. Pouk of Chicago. Mr. and Mrs. Laffey are residing at 1327 Fargo Ave., Chicago.
Dr. Ben Tenney also reports his marriage on June 22, 1929, to Miss Constance R. Vaillant of Boston. Ben says he is practicing gynecology and obstetrics in Boston.
Once again Dick Libby and Artie Anderson have the long distance commuting field to themselves, for Charlie Stickney is deserting Foxborough, which is in the general vicinity of New London, for some place slightly nearer Boston. In fact the Charlie Stickneys report that shortly after April 15 they plan to move into their newly purchased home at 20 Wilde Road, Waban, Mass., where the latch key will always be out for Twenty oners. Charley says that for the benefit of persons searching for his home on a dark and stormy night it should be explained that Waban is a part of Newton and Wilde Road intersects Beacon St. on the south side.
In looking around for a house in the Newtons, the Stickneys were shown around by that up and coming young realtor Thomas Vose Cleveland, who is with B. M. Patterson's office. Emily Stickney is reliably quoted to the effect that Tom is one of the best salesmen she's ever met, and Charley says the motto of every Twenty-oner in the vicinity of the Hub should be, "Don't buy that home without first looking over Tom Cleveland's listings."
Incidentally Tom is the authority for the statement that "Red" Stanley of the New England Telephone Company has recently moved to Newtonville.
A recent record of various Dartmouth alumni associations throughout the U. S. reveals Emory Corbin as secretary of the Dartmouth Club of New Britain, Conn.; Cory Litchard as president of the Dartmouth Club of Springfield, Mass.; Don Mix as secretary of the Dartmouth Club of Worcester, Mass.; and Dewey Gruenhagen as secretary of the Dartmouth Lunch Club of St. Paul, Minn.
And now, last but far from least of the cards is one from Marsh Whelden, who scrivens from Rutland, Vt., as follows: "Our new home is just half way between Boston and Montreal and New York and Montreal, and we sincerely hope that any and all members of the 12 or 13 classes of which I was at one time a member, but more especially the members of the class with which I contrived to graduate, 1921, will remember the above, and stop here while en route, whether they knew me in college or not."
And next month we'll strive to carry out that charming ditty, "June brings the roses and more notes."
"Doc" Fleming is spending a year interning in Blodgett Memorial Hospital, Grand Rapids, Mich. He received his M.D. from the University of Michigan last June, is married and the father of one daughter and one son. All are doing well.
