CLASS of 1915
Max Wilcox claims to be one of the few remaining general practitioners of medicine. He was recently seen by many bear and caribou in the wilds of the Maine woods. Either Max did not see them, or his marksmanship was poor, as there is no mention of taking home a bear or other game to Mrs. Wilcox and the boys. Max says his boys will enter Dartmouth in the class of 1938 and the class of 1942.
but failed to mention the cruise on the French liner on which he tried to get his former roommate Thornton Pray to accompany him. We suspect the trip was successful, and doubt that it has been so soon forgotten.
Thornton Pray calls attention to the epidemic of bank failures in Philadelphia, which is now apparently over, and from which he is striving to recover. Thornton is now associated with the Guaranty Company of New York in their Philadelphia office. Other news from Philadelphia reports that Hal Budd is providing banks with systems. (Of course the Budd system banks will always be successful, unless Amos and Andy should hear of the system, and attempt to nip the bud.) Word also comes from Philadelphia that Bob Griffin is making money in the market. Of course he is short of the market, whereas most of the people today are short of anything to play the market with.
From Denver, Colo., comes the report that P. K. Alexander is vice-president of the First National Bank of that city. P. K. mentions a depression which has recently hit his state. This is something which we Easterners know nothing about, and it is hoped that he will send more details for the next issue.
Fred Ballou reports from Norfolk, Va., that he has been engaged for the past ten years in the automobile insurance business, Caleb Rogers has recently changed his address to 50 Vassal St., Wollaston, Mass.
The permanent home address of John Loomis will be 3000 Capital Ave., Cheyenne, Wyo. The house at that address is now being built, and John hopes to occupy it the first of next year. John says that all trains stop in Cheyenne for about half an hour, and that his office is directly across from the Union Pacific railway station. You can't go through without stopping, so don't go through without calling on John.
Since the death of Fletcher Hale, Dartmouth 1905, the New Hampshire press has been predicting that our own Bill Rogers will regain his seat in Congress. It is quite probable that Bill will be the choice of the Democrats, and his chances of winning in the district have been very much brightened by the city of Manchester, which has recently elected a Democratic mayor. Possibly within two months it will again be Congressman Bill Rogers.
Shrimp Williams has just moved from Pennsylvania back to Framingham, Mass., where he is still in the employ of Dennison Manufacturing Company. He assumes the new position of merchandise maintenance manager. This is a long title for a short man, and would be worth an explanation at some future class gathering. An interesting part of Shrimp's letter (on borrowed stationery) refers to Bob Griffin, who was last seen by Shrimp in the midst of a heated argument over the prohibition question. It is left to the gentle reader to surmise which side of the question Bob was upholding. Shrimp says that Bob went to college at least fifteen years too soon, as he would have made the debating team in a walk.
Aug Atwood sends the Secretary an appreciated bouquet for endeavors to furnish class news in this column, but he is just as close when it comes to giving out news of himself as in the war days when he was asked to pass out money in the Quartermaster Department of the 26th Division.
The Secretary feels that he is entitled to a little volunteer news, and a better response to his letters begging news. Only 40% replied in October. Why not drop him a line NOW.
SAY, BROTHER GIVE ME SOME HELP; SHAKE OUT OF IT AND SEND ME SOME NEWS ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE DOING
Secretary, 18 So. Court St., Woodsville, N. H
