CLASS OF 1927
Here it is February the eighth, and another month has rolled by. According to our calendar it means that more notes for the ALUMNI MAGAZINE are practically due. If we are not mistaken, due to pressure of business, social functions, and what not, our class failed to appear in the scoring columns last month, so it behooves us to make a special effort at the present sitting.
To begin with let's give a little time to the proud fathers. Bob Williamson and wife announced the arrival of Mary Williamson, born on January 18, 1931. Bob, as you know, is living in the home town, Norwood, Mass., and during the daytime is one of the mainstays of T. O. Metcalf Company, one of the better-known printers of Boston.
F. E. "Brownie" Brown, also of Tri Kap fame, was not far behind in announcing the arrival of Miss Marilyn Brown, who was born on January 21.
Miss Nancy Lee Coulter, daughter of our classmate Francis Lee, was quite recently presented with a baby brother named Francis Lee Coulter, Jr., and otherwise known as the "Little, little Duke."
Along about the first of the year we received a card on which was printed the following announcement, the originality of which combined with the pleasant announcement made it doubly enjoyable. "Renate—RANDALL AND RANDALL—Clifford are overjoyed to announce, effective December 20, 1930, at 1:07 A. M., WILLIAM LOUIS RANDALL (weight 7 pounds 10M ounces at 2 o'clock); elected himself JUNIOR PARTNER and will be in complete control of all activities of this firm, henceforth to be known as RANDALL, RANDALL, AND RANDALL. Happy New Year."
Don Burnham, who was formerly with the Timken-Detroit Company, is now situated in Bloomfield, Conn., where he is teaching chemistry, physics, and biology in the high school. Don married Miss Helen M. Pickering on June 28, 1928, and they have one child, Joanne Miriam, born March 6, 1930.
Clint Bradley deals in life insurance and real estate down in Baltimore. Clint probably holds the distinction of being the oldest benedict in the class, having married Miss Roxanne T. Goodrich on November 20, 1925. He is also the proud father of two future Hanoverians, Clinton S. 111, and Alfred Goodrich, born October 31, 1926, and January 22, 1930, respectively.
Clint reports that Frank Senn is understudy for his father out in Sandusky, Ohio, and that he recently married a very attractive girl from Palo Alto, Cal.
Warren Butterfield is now in his last year at the Harvard Medical School, and expects soon to graduate to his interneship.
Chuck Baker now conducts his own law office out in Painesville, Ohio. He admits that the name of his town is somewhat descriptive of the tribulations encountered by a young barrister in starting his own office.
Lyman Milliken, as you know, graduated from the University of Maryland Dental School, and is now practicing dentistry in Baltimore. He was recently honored by election to the Gorgas Odontological Society, which is the honor society on Phi Beta Kappa admission requirements.
Thurlow Davis has spent the last two years as a chemist with Certain-teed Products in Trenton, N. J. He was married on November 3, 1929, to Miss Ellen Bradley.
Frank Cloran is in New York city working for the American Surety Company.
Harold Low is working for the Fokker Aircraft Corporation, and is located in Woodbridge, N. J.
Jack Greener received his M.D. from the University of Rochester last June, and has since then been on the house staff at St. John's Hospital in Brooklyn. He has signed up for a two-year interneship of the rotation type, meaning that he will spend one year as a junior on ambulance, surgery, medicine, and obstetrics, and his second year as a senior in the specialties. This he claims is a 24-hour job all year round. There seems to be no "depression" in the "saw-bones" line.
Al Wellman was married to Miss Leona O. Greenlund on June 12, 1930, and, he reports, this accounts for his not being present at the reunion. Paul Messner was among several other Dartmouth men who helped him into the "bonds." Al also reports that Al Hoenninger was seen in New York not long ago, where he was stopping during a vacation from his banana plantation in Honduras. Also that Bob Tobey is getting along fine, being happily married and living in Evanston, Ill.
Before sitting down to our desk this evening to finish up these notes we were casually scanning the sporting page of the Boston Evening Traveler when our eye, ever watchful for news, was attracted by the picture of a tall, slim youth attired in a track suit with the insignia of the Boston Athletic Association. The figure looked extremely familiar and turned out to be none other than Sam Martin, who has been doing some brilliant running this winter. Bob Dalrymple, who has returned to Boston, has also been running under the colors of this same outfit, and we recently saw his picture, crouched for the start of the mile race in the K. of C. games.
Al Macdonald is a commercial engineer for the Wisconsin Telephone Company. His work is in connection with the commercial aspects of converting different communities to dial telephone service. By the way, Al, did you hear that Dartmouth trolloped Yale in water polo during Carnival? Did you ever think you would live to see the day that would happen, and wouldn't you like to have seen it?
Ross Guyot and Ed Ripley are both prospecting oil fields in California for the Santa Fe System.
Dick Simpson is also doing geological work in the oil industry, being located in Ada, Okla.
Kermit Ingham has been in the retail lumber business since graduation, and is now assistant manager of the Briggs Lumber Company of Stillwater, Okla. Kerm was married to Miss Louise Bosworth on October 6, 1928, and has a son, Kermit Bosworth Ingham, who was born on November 1, 1930.
Howie Camph still lives in Pelham, N. Y., and is apparently selling stage equipment in the metropolis.
Ken Lee lives in Elmhurst, L. I. His business is in the advertising department of the New York Daily News. Ken was married on November 17, 1929, to Miss Helen M. Drewes.
Dick Mommers has announced his engagement to Miss Esther Reed of Stamford, Conn.
Les Battin is now living with the "bluebloods" of Boston on Mt. Vernon St. He is the assistant manager of the advertising department of the Flintkote Company here in the "Hub." Les was married to Miss Emily P. Kimball in August, 1925. He has two daughters, Barbara and Nancy, born June, 1926, and January, 1928, respectively.
Cary Stiff and wife are now living in Evanston, Ill. He was married in August of last year to Miss Helen Winona Chalmers. Cary is in the merchandising end of the Evanston store of Marshall Field and Company.
Chuck Burwell is now located in Grand Rapids, Mich., with the Aetna Insurance Company.

Harve Jones is still living in River Forest, Ill. He is a statistician for the Commonwealth Edison Company.

Bob reports that Ross Lyon and Bill Satterfield were also married in September and October respectively. Ross is still in the coffee business in Harrisburg, Pa., while Bill is insuring down in North Carolina.
Here endeth the lesson.
Secretary, Waban, Mass.
