CLASS of 1916
For those who were neither present at the 15th or recipients of the special Commencement issue of the ALUMNI MAGAZINE here are a few of the high lights. The new officers elected in the usual reunion style: president, Granville B. Fuller; secretary, John A. Pelletier; treasurer, Robert A. Brown; class agent, Roger F. Evans. The above officers with H. Clifford Bean and Percy C. Burnham constitute the executive committee. Class dues to remain at $4.00 per year and to include the ALUMNI MAGAZINE subscription for that year. Bill Gaylord with four boys and four girls leads the reunioners in regard to family. How about the balance of Balmacaan's mighty tribe?
From the most recent bulletin on Alumni Associations we find that Abe Abraham still holds down the job of secretary of the Burlington, Vt., Association, and that Dave Gibson wields the gavel as president of the Lunch Club of Waterbury, Conn.
From across the pond Kike Davis writes that the super-beer adds yearly to his waist line. Not necessary to leave these shores for that, Kike. From the results of West Virginia mountain dew Ed Knight is fast approaching alarming dimensions.
Then to Ed Riley, who is now located in Paris as regional director of Continental Europe for General Motors. Ed was in this country at the time of the 15th, but due to G. M. activities or lack of same had to be in New York city at that time for serious conferences.
Stirling Wilson gives us the information that Leigh Rogers is still in Washington. Why so still, Leigh? Also that John Cremer had been in to also inquire as to the events in Hanover. Must have been pretty skeptical, as he carted Stirling's reunion picture home to count the number in it. Again that Rob Harvey had been in Washington to argue a patent case. That is a new one on me, as I thought all patent cases were postponed.
From California's balmy breezes comes word of Dan Coakley via Jack English, who is now a full-fledged native son, having been there six months. Dan's curly golden locks can't stand the pace—they are fast turning to silver. Better try Florida next and its fountain of youth.
Coming East as far as Independence, Kansas, we find Roly Wass settled after various moves with the Prairie Gas and Oil Cos. Roly adds that Tulsa, Okla., still boasts of housing Bailey Emery, our eminent politician of days gone by. And yes, Bailey must still retain that impressive figure so prominent on the campus when we were all there, for he was sighted by Roly in a very large chicken dinner place.
Out in Chicago the National Amateur golf championship is a thing of the past. But just coast along a bit to Hinsdale's golf course, and there if you look hard enough you will see our own Joe Cheney with his junior set of clubs trying to improve course records. Yes, Joe is taking his golf seriously this year.
Grand Rapids, Mich., was touched by the so-called crime wave. Don Fuller was forced to return home from work via the traction company, simply because someone borrowed his car just before quitting time. No doubt but that it was some Chicago element looking for excitement. The car was recovered the next day out of gas, and Don somewhat out of patience.
Ruby McFalls has recently been named as general sales manager of Master Builders Company of Cleveland. Ruby adds that business is not all that it should be, but hopes for better times soon. Amen add all of us.
News must be scarce in our New York city delegation. However, we are glad to note that Ernie Gioiosa is now located there with the Immigration Commission. That is, he was there previous to Wickersham report. Ernie, will you please advise if this status still holds true.
Up Belmont, Mass., way great things are expected of the high school football team this fall. Expectations should be fulfilled, as their coach is good old Bill Nagle. Bill, at end of season let us have the dope on the record.
Like all good army men, Louis Bell, pardon, Major Bell, believes in preparedness. Last summer Louis commanded a cavalry troop of the National Guard of Massachusetts at their annual encampment at Fort Ethan Allen.
Rumors are abroad that New England is on the upturn in business conditions. Must be so, for we find that Ken Tucker has purchased a colonial house in Belmont. Adds that all 'l6ers are welcome. (Dinner at seven.)
The young son of the Gran Fullers, who was so sick at reunion time, is now well on the road to recovery. But Gran is decidedly rtm down after a summer of catching the 7 A.M. from Kensington to Boston. Also must have been the 5:15 back.
The Cliff Beans have been at North Beach, Hampton, all summer. Their time has been spent in teaching the rudiments of swimming to their daughter Hope, who bids fair to enter English Channel competition.
The Ralph Parkers and the Bob Browns canoed out of Nashua somehow and spent two weeks trying to get back. The Browns were forced to go to Bye for the balance of the summer to recuperate. They must have done most of the paddling.
Football is here. Dartmouth closes this year with a game at the Harvard stadium with Stanford the Saturday following Thanksgiving. Your Boston delegation is planning a grand time. Details will appear in this column next month. Watch for them.
"The DARTMOUTH ALUMNI MAGAZINE is your best source of news concerning the varied activities in Hanover and in alumni circles." Twenty words no more—no lesscount them. Now count out 32 bits and send it along to R. A. Brown, 23 Chester St., Nashua, N. H., and be sure of all copies of the ALUMNI MAGAZINE.
