CLASS OF 1920
Unfortunately a number of questionnaires arrived too late for publication in the class report, which was mailed June 1. A few of these letters follow. Others will be included in the fall issues of the MAGAZINE. If you failed to receive a copy of the report, let the Secretary know, as we have plenty on hand.
Frederick G. Fellows, Teacher, Nichols School, Buffalo, N. Y.
Since graduation in 1923 as with the class of 1920 (due to service during the war) I have spent two years in Central America and four years teaching, coaching, and doing summer camp work in Canada. lam married, and have two fine boys, Bob and Ted. We own a Ford car.
My hobbies are my boys and athletics. Being in school work coaching I have a very good opportunity to keep in shape. Generally I manage to get a good work-out every day boxing, running, playing baseball or squash.

John E. Hill. Married. Three children.
Inasmuch as I lost one semester by virtue of being in service—where I got my commission and pilot's license in Army aviation I came back and finished my studies in February, 1921. I went with Franklin Simon pre-arranged and married in May the same year. In the fall of '22 was given charge of the road trip women's college trip and made five trips to Wellesley, Vassar, and Smiththen Rochester, Syracuse, and Buffalo. In the summer of '23, after watching most of the fifteen college men disappear from the firm, I moved, and went with the Happiness Candy Stores, subsidiary of the United Cigar Stores. For three months I sold candy nights, Sundays, and holidays and jerked sodas during the day at 30 cents an hour, on the theory that no man could ever manage one of their larger stores without being familiar with both departments. I was then made assistant manager, and in six weeks more manager. Later on I was moved to publicity work, on which I stayed until April, '24. In the meantime they had been replacing their men managers, through redistricting, with considerably cheaper women managers, and foreseeing my future blighted for a second time in New York, I resigned and came back to the land of my birth—also that of the cod—and have been here ever since.
The bond business looked attractive, and in less than a week I was fortunate enough to land with Dillon, Read, and Company. Until January, '25,1 took a whirl at the sticks of Vermont, having served two months apprenticeship as messenger boy, sealer par saliva and other methods of endless circulars and what-not. I then asked for the whole state of Vermont AND Hanover, and got it and still have. In June, last year, I left Dillon, Read, and Company, and took over my old territory together with northern New Hampshire as representative of H. M. Byllesby and Company.
G. Frank Lord. Married. One child
Although I was only at Dartmouth my freshman year, I have very fond memories of that brief period.
After leaving Dartmouth at the end of my freshman year, I entered Massachusetts Institute of Technology, from which institution I was graduated in 1921. I immediately went to work for the New England Tel. and Tel. Cos., and remained with them in various capacities until November 1, 1926, when I came to Hartford as special agent for the Travelers Fire Insurance Company.
I have attended some of the Dartmouth Club meetings, but unfortunately I am away a good deal and have not been able to get around as often as I would like.
My recreation consists of playing poker, tennis, golf, and the banjo, with a little sailing and swimming thrown in for good measure. I voted No. 3 on the Literary Digest Prohibition straw ballot.
Dartmouth, Technology, and Simmons graduates are welcome at 1001 Maple Ave., Hartford, Conn.
J. G. Fowler, Branch Manager Brown Wales Company. Married.
I've been with the same company since graduation; have lived largely in Maine (and liked it), and have neither prospered greatly nor gone backward or bankrupt. Marriage very successful except as regards posterity. Have seen some of the Boston gang at intervals, and as we expect to live in Cambridge soon shall probably renew some acquaintances.
Charles M. Falconer. Pullet Raising. Married.
Since leaving Dartmouth I spent eight years in the shoe business in good old New Hampshire. For the three years following my arrival here (California) I batched with another fellow, during which time we went into the rabbit raising business rather extensively. Not proving out as we had hoped, we gradually got away from it.
About this time I met the one who later proved to be my better half. My biggest regret is that I didn't come to California much earlier in life. As for hobbies, that word hasn't had much use for me since I came West. While East, however, an occasional horseback ride, mixed in with a little golf, always found favor with me.
