CLASS of 1915
Treasurer "Tap" issues this monetary suggestion that no further copies of this magazine will be sent to 'lsers after November 15 unless the class dues are paid by that time. Unlesis three bucks will break you, why not send Tap a surprise, right now. And on second thought, if it will break you, you may as well send it along, as you are sure to be broke soon, and what better cause or class could get your last dollar!
Harold T. Rich is now associated with F. B. Vandegrift and Company, of which his father is president. This does not mean that Hal has abandoned writing for business, but, as he puts it, "he will devote all his spare time to complete a novel which newspaper corresponding and magazine fictioneering has prevented in the past."
Here's a suggestion to the next class reunion committee. A skit showing the country boy lost in the big city, who inquires of an apparently intelligent appearing gentleman on the sidewalk how to get out of the city and discover after some patter they are CLASSMATES. Sid Crawford of Worcester' Mass., is suggested for the leading part, and Paul Sargeant, from somewhere in N. H., the part requiring a leader.
Have you read, "Maybe it isn't Hot" in the August number of the American, or "How to get the most out of your Doctor" in the May issue of the same magazine? You better. This is not a sales talk, but a tip about what Doc Hugh Rowell is doing with his spare moments after a busy day teaching at Columbia University, Teachers College.
Art Rowe writes from Saranac Lake, N. Y., in a very cheerful mood. He hopes to get out of the trenches by Christmas. He has gotten over stage fright in front of X-ray machines. More power to you, Art.
Whenever passing through Cheyenne, Wyoming, if the traffic cop molests any member of the class they are cordially invited to consult Lacey and Loomis, and John U. promises personal attention to the case.
Russ Rice spent his vacation with family at West Harwich on the Cape. Others in the vicinity were Dale Barker and A 1 Priddy and families. Apparently this is the starting of a 'l5 summer colony. Adam Sutcliffe was reconnoitering there with an eye on next year's vacation, we hear.
The death of Hal Ryan is announced in another column of this issue. The sympathy of the entire class is extended to his family.
Jack Mason is reported to be headed for Brazil to introduce American methods in their textile industry. His stay is expected to cover about two years. Will it take that long, Jack, to wreck the textiles of Brazil!!
Once again 1915 lias raised its quota 100% in the Alumni Fund. Our hats are off to the class agents, Mullin, Clark, Huntress and Priddy. It looks like a life job for you fellows.
H. E. Sargent, commissioner of highways and chief engineer for the state of Vermont, writes that the highway business in his state has suffered no depression, as extra funds are being applied in this work to help take care of the unemployment. Hereafter any complaints (or compliments) on Vermont roads should be sent direct to J. S. at Montpelier, Vt., and will give you an earful.
Bags Wanamaker, plant manager of U. S. Rubber Cos. at Williamsport, Pa., has been made president of the Rotary Club in that city.
A 1 Bradley gets some more publicity in a recent issue of the Michigan Alumnus for his rapid rise to vice-president of General Mo- tors. In spite of that Ph.D. at Michigan in 1917, A 1 is still a great Fifteener, and we are just as proud of A 1 as any one else.
Ben Borella is also with the General Motors Company. He has recently formed a new company with Miss Ann Wright of Cambridge, Mass., of which we older married men know Ben is only vice-president. Congratulations to Ann and Ben.
At least one man objects to the Secretary's moving him from Boston to New York for no good reason at all. And so a reference to Earl Clough of New York city must be corrected, as he is still of 1376 Commonwealth Ave., Boston, Mass. At any rate we got a rise, Earl. There are some others in this class who are likely to be referred to from much worse places than New York city if they don't come through with a little news soon. One writes, "If I die or get murdered I'll send you the clippings." That's the real spirit, but how about the other clippings.
Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Johnson of Ashland, Ohio, announce the arrival of David James Johnson, and in the same mail Tax Collector Doc Noyes and Priscilla of Duxbury, Mass., herald the coming of Ann Kingsbury Noyes. The proud grandfather, Nathaniel K. Noyes, class of 'B9, says that all are doing well, and the only regret expressed is that Dartmouth is not co-educational.
Among other replies received from letters addressed to 'lsers during the summer is a most entertaining one from Danny Waugh, in which he says in part: "I left Tokyo May 30, traveled via Honolulu to Victoria, B. C., where I landed on June 10. From there I went down to Portland, Ore., by boat and train, flew to Chicago, then by fastest train to Hanover, arriving there June 13, just two weeks to a day from Tokyo, and when I got out of the taxi at Jim Campion's store, I found Johnny Mullin sitting on the counter. Carl Gish was later picked up. Then Bill and Marion Huntress appeared for over the weekend. On Monday Fletch Low got me a seat at the faculty table for the alumni luncheon, and in such company no one dared to put me out. The rest of the month of June and all of July I stayed at home. Then sailed for Europe from Boston August 2, arrived at Liverpool the 9th, and after a couple of days there went on to London for a week. Have been in Paris for the past ten days, but expect to leave tomorrow for Alsace, and then into Germany. I hope to be home again by the end of September, and to meet some of the fellows at the football games this autumn. I shall probably be returning to Japan in December or January. This may be rather sketchy, but surely you don't expect me to put in my time in Paris writing class letters."
Danny has sure been doing things and going places. From his haste to reach Hanover one wonders if he thought the class was ready to celebrate its Fiftieth Reunion, or if he was trying to catch up with the Big Fifteenth, which some of us still remember clearly (or maybe more clearly).
A 1 Priddy has an announcement to make at the next class meeting which will cover the Alumni Fund record of our class. Until then it may honestly be said that it's hard to beat our class agents. They get what they go after, and then they go right after it again.
Kike Richardson's father says that G. K. is so busy that he gets little time for visits to New Hampshire. Well, he nearly got time for one visit here. Hope we shall see him at the Stadium this year!!
Twenty of thirty August letters answered. Now for another try.
News of your class each month. $2 per year.
