CLASS OF 1915
The purpose of the following class notes is to inform two-thirds of the class who were unable to attend Fifteen's Fifteenth Reunion of those who were able to enjoy the fine program and exceptionally happy reunion at Hanover.
Unless Dale Barker's records are at fault, and I am sure no one in the class would suspect that, there were sixty-four members of the class reported at Hanover for the reunion. Just one-half of those who were back brought their wives with them, and in addition to the wives, fourteen children made up the party, making a total of one hundred and ten members of our reunion group. Every other member of the class was discussed more or less during the four days in Hanover, their presence missed and commented upon by their friends.
The following is a list of the members who attended the reunion accompanied by wife: Bennink, Bowler, Rus Chase, Crawford, Davison, Chan Foster, Frederick, Ghee, Granger, Huntress, Al Johnson, King, Fletch Lowe, Mason, Milmore, Noyes, Pearce, Pitman, Priddy, Reynolds, Rus Rice, Kike Richardson, Swenson, Taplin, Wanamaker, Perry Stevens, Dick Wyman, Guest, Lamson, Harlow, and Jordan.
The following for one reason or another returned unattached: Dale Barker (there are rumors about Dale which indicate that he will not be in this list at the next reunion), Bush Campbell, Claflin, Dick Clark, Collier, alias Otto Grow, Comiskey, Downing, Al English, Fitts, Gish, Hitchcock, Livermore, Llewellyn, Loomis, Mullin, Page, Parchert, Perry, Eddy Rice, Rose, Rowe, Sherman, Sutcliffe, Leon Williams, Wing, Woodcock, Clough, Bill Rogers, Young.
If your name is not in the above lists you missed much and were missed much more.
The following officers for the next five years were elected at the regular class meeting: president, Raymond Thomas King, 1303 Main St., Springfield, Mass; vice-president, Milton P. Ghee, 811 Fisher Building, Detroit, Mich.; secretary, Harold K. Davison, Woodsville, N. H.; treasurer, Charles R. Taplin, Orleans, Yt. (Be not disturbed, he is thoroughly bonded.) In addition to the four officers already named, an executive committee of Past President A. L. Priddy, Dale Barker, and Rus Livermore were elected to act with the officers. Dick Clark was reappointed class agent. These men will need your co-operation.
Among the high spots on our class reunion program were the following events: President Hopkins' excellent portrayal of the "New Dartmouth" at our class banquet, plus a delightful "Chick Sale Story."
Jack McAuliffe's impromptu sketch (representing the other classes at our banquet), "I love the Maine Stein Song," and for an encore, "You Never Know What Weight a Waiter Carries Till He Falls."
String Downing and Cloughy entertained persistently and continuously throughout the reunion, particularly when others were trying to sleep.
"Otto Grow" was the big act at the Sunday night show. Some of his models were surprised at his accuracy.
Dick Granger starred again and as usual, as he talked at the class dinner on "Fifteen Years Out of College."
The Lake Morey picnic proved to be a ten-course banquet surrounded by a real reunion talkfest.
Al Priddy and Marguerite upheld the class reputation by staying to the end of the Friday night dance in Robinson Hall. They appear to be in training for a marathon dance at our next reunion.
The Dartmouth-Cornell baseball game. What a game, 0-0 for nine innings with no errors! In the tenth inning a Cornell man was thrown out at the plate attempting to stretch a good three-base hit to a home run. This was followed in the same inning with a beautiful Dartmouth home run, with the score 1-0.
The alumni luncheon was well attended by members of the class, and was very much worth while.
Gov Jordan seemed to enjoy the Lake Morey picnic, but was not seen in or near a canoe.
The reunion committee headed by Ray King certainly did a lot of work, and successfully carried out the Chesterfield Slogan. It was his ability to satisfy and not his alliance with the Democratic party that is responsible for King's election to the class presidency. Every member of the class is reminded: 1 That1 That you are expected to write your class secretary occasionally, and at least every time you are married. 2 You are urged to help Dick Clark in his effort to raise the class quota for the Alumni Fund.
3 You are expected to send Treasurer Tap a share of all money you inherit. He calls it class dues.
4 Your subscription to the ALUMNI MAGAZINE terminates with this issue, unless your class dues are paid, before the next issue, to Charles Taplin.
s That5 That there will be another class reunion some time; if you attended the Fifteenth, you will not miss the next one, if you missed the Fifteenth, you should have a double desire to be on hand next time.
Secretary.
