CLASS OF 1916

There are two reasons for the lack of notes in the January MAGAZINE and the scarcity of them in this issue. I broke a bone in my right hand a month ago, and then again the same old story of no news from the gang.

This week I talked with Cliff Bean over the 'phone, and could gather no items except the all-important one about the growing plans for June in Hanover. You'll have more of this later. In the meanwhile, start making your plans for our Fifteenth.

We've seen only Ed Carey and Abe Lincoln these past few months. Ed is still signing up Rhode Island in insurance, and spends his spare time running the finances of the local Dartmouth Club. He tells me that Shorty Shaw spent some time in Europe this summer. Also reports that Jack English blew into Providence the other day.

Abe Lincoln has been sticking around home pretty much of late. I've already reported his son and heir. I haven't seen the youngster yet, but I understand that he's a wonder.

Fred Bailey, Gran Fuller, Alex Jardine, Jack English, Dick Parkhurst, and the rest of the boys in Boston are getting rounded up by Cliff to get their noses to the grindstone so as to get all the New England Balmacaaners rounded up for the June gathering. Soon you'll hear from them or from the chiefs in your own sections.

You all knew Leo Granger—arid those who went back to our Tenth remember the cute little Leo Junior who came back with his father and mother. From his brother comes the sad news of his death at Newark on December 13. He had been practicing in Newark since getting his medical degree at Columbia in 1918. Leo and his brothers have done a lot for Dartmouth, and we shall miss him in June—and always.
