CLASS OF 1912
It is hoped that the regular 1912 column in the last issue of the ALUMNI MAGAZINE was sorely missed by its absence. Not that this was the intent, however, in omitting the news, but now that we think of it the sorer you get the better we will like it. Also in this connection a new contribution to the literary field entitled "Third Degree," being the methods of the police department in extracting information, contains some treatments of severe cases which we consider might well be incorporated in future handbooks for class secretaries.
A special call from' 12 headquarters brought Queechie French to New York recently with quite some news from the New England front. Most of it cannot be published. Among those heard from were:
Al (Reinhard) Miller, who is living in Haverhill, Mass.
Cleon B. White of Danvers, Mass.
Vernon Greene of West Wareham, Mass.
Dutch Cottrell of Pall River, Mass. Dutch has two fine boys, and is associated with the Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Co.
Ben Hunt was married on the 4th of June last to Miss Norma May Keever, daughter of Mr. Davis Townsend Keever of Waban, Mass. After a honeymoon through the West and South, Ben and Mrs. Ben are in their residence at 89 Windsor Road, Waban, where they will be very glad to see any of the boys at any time. Ben has been the New England representative for the last five years of the Rotoprint Gravure Co., and has his office at 80 Boylston St., Boston.
Hal Harman advises of a change of address to Hotel Tudor, 304 East 42d St., New York. Another addition to the Married and Settled Down circle is that old standby, Mert Baker. The news was such a surprise that our reporter failed to get all the details, except that after a honeymoon trip to Europe last year Mr. and Mrs. Baker are settled somewhere in Westchester, N. Y.
Warren Bruner is living with his family as far from New York city as possible at Pleasantville, N. Y.
Husky DeMerritt's new address is 2536 E. Manoa Rd., Honolulu, Hawaii, and a lot of us would like to know how he likes it there.
Guy Lewis is reported at 1226 Second St., Gulfport, Miss.
Each year the annual Dartmouth banquet of the New York Alumni Association becomes of more and more interest. The last affair held on January 28 at the Hotel Plaza set a high-water mark from every standpoint. The attendance of President Hopkins is always a guarantee of a fine affair, and in addition we had this year Professor Lingley and as guest of honor Governor Roosevelt. The Twelve table was not as complete as in times past, and those present were: Dick Remsen, who couldn't get out of having to sit at the speakers' table; Doc O'Connor, who presided as president and was re-elected for the third time; Mert Baker, looking the same as usual but more married; Andrew Phelps with his cute picture of his little daughter; Carl Rollins who hadn't been heard from in a long time on account of frequent trips to Canada; Randy Burns, very serious and important, reading the report of the nominating committee of which he was the chairman; Lee White, becoming more portly and sedate; Dooly Doolittle, with his usual dry humor; Charley McCarthy, a little stouter and handsomer; Les Snow, who you would think was still an undergraduate to look at him; Garcia with thinning hair; and Jim Erwin—just the same everywhere and every way except for a funny-looking vest. What happened to the others who are usually always with us we have not had the opportunity to find out as yet.
Notes for the next issue—April—have to be sent in before the 10th of March, so you must send in your news immediately after you have read this column.
