CLASS OF 1915
Fletch Low writes that Hanover is just as good a place to live in as it ever was. The recent changes include the tearing down of Hubbard Hall, and the tearing out of all the interior of Reed preparatory to its change into recitation rooms. The Chapel is expected to come down in the near future to make room for the White Church, which will be moved to the chapel site. Fletch expects to enjoy himself under Dr. Jack Bowler's care in the Mary Hitchcock Hospital during the spring vacation. Jack has recently taken a vacation trip to Bermuda to prepare himself for the ordeal of removing Fletcher's tonsils.
Treasurer Taplin reports that he is neglecting his own business in an attempt to collect class dues from approximately one-third of the membership, who are still suffering from the recent (or present, depending upon the point of view) depression. Should any member of the class hear a complaint that certain other members are not receiving the ALUMNI MAGAZINE, this explanation should promptly be made, that the complainant's name will be promptly added to the mailing list of the MAGAZINE upon the payment of the member's class dues.
The Preston M. Nolan Company, appraisers for banks, has recently announced the election as president of the organization of Malcolm R. Macdonald with business offices at 105 South LaSalle St., Chicago.
Fred Child is building a new home in Larchmont, N. Y., where he becomes a neighbor of Wy Fuller.
Russ Livermore is junior partner with his father in the practice of law. Russ is looking ahead to the time when he has been out of college forty-three years like his father, and hopes then to be able to spend the winter in Miami, while the junior partner carries on the office work, as his father has done this winter. John Healy apologizes for his delay in writing to the class secretary due to an experience which he had with his appendix, which the doctors made as pleasant and expensive for him as possible. John is still with the U. S. Rubber Company at Passaic, N. J., and is still unmarried. The explanation for delay in writing is satisfactory, but in other respects a further explanation is desired.
A carrier pigeon recently brought the report that the present business address of Earl Clough is Room 2514, 11 West 42d St., New York city. Apparently the name of the business was too big a load for the bird. It is hoped that we shall have further information in this column later.
Gov Jordan reports from Keene that he has had a very busy winter. Incidentally it may be added that Judge Jordan's name is frequently mentioned in political circles as a future governor of the state.
Duze Lounsberry of Newtonville reports that his residence and business have remained unchanged for over nine years. It must be that the so-called depression has not yet reached Newtonville.
Bill Huntress will be busy in May entertaining Rotarians from all over New Hampshire and Vermont at a convention in his city of Rutland. Bill will make a fine chairman for the hospitality committee.
On May 1 and 2 a meeting of all class secretaries is being held in Hanover. The present incumbent hopes to attend, but is sure to have difficulty in explaining satisfactorily why the change was made and what has become of Dale Barker.
Ev Lamson is now living in Newtonville, Mass., and reports that whenever he goes to church, he always sees Duze Lounsberry and Wallie Ross sitting up near the front. From this report it is difficult to make out how often either Duze or Ev attends church. Apparently, Ross has continued his good influence over Duze, but has slipped with Ev, who sneaks into a rear seat on his occasional visits to church.
Jack Maloney tells a nice story on Ev Lamson, which took place in a Hampton Beach restaurant last summer. Briefly it is said that Ev was looking at Jack's wife when Mrs. Lamson was not on the alert, and later discovered that the lady who had attracted his attention had with her as an escort her husband, Jack Maloney. Both Ev and Jack insist that all ended well, and that they have thus far lived happily together since the Hampton Beach affair.
Mr. and Mrs. Ray King proudly announce the arrival of another girl; with six girls and one boy in the family a record is established by the president of the class. If the Secretary's records are incomplete, he will expect to be promptly chided by that member of the class who is the proud parent of eight or more children. Congratulations are extended to Ray and Mrs. Ray.
Russ Kelly is now assistant secretary and treasurer of the Eastern Rock Products, Inc., of Utica, N. Y. His present specialties are sand, gravel, crushed stone, and other building materials.
Deane Hazen is now associated with Clarence Chamberlin in the manufacture of eight passenger aeroplanes. His experience in flying with Chamberlin recently while a new plane was being demonstrated convinced him that the law of gravity had been repealed. He urges all lawyers who have taken a course in gravitation to make a special study of this matter. Deane says that airways are sometimes rougher than railways, and that for those who have car sickness, he can not recommend air voyages. Should anyone wish to charter a plane for any sort of a trip, it is probable that Deane would answer the telephone if the Chamberlin Aircraft Company in Jersey City was given a ring 3-7330-Bergen. Deane's present address is still Richmond, Va., but his business connections in New Jersey will undoubtedly keep him close to New York city for some time in the future.
Stan Llewellyn reports from Camden, S. C., that most of his time at present is being spent traveling about the state as department commander of the American Legion. In the month of February, Stan traveled three thousand miles, making his official visits to the Legion posts. No doubt the Kendall Company have missed Stan's services, but recognize that he is engaged in a very good work.
Al Livingston reports that there is plenty of real estate for sale in the vicinity of San Francisco, but there is no great rush of prosspective purchasers. Al says it was fine to see Johnnie Mullin in his vicinity a few weeks ago. Al thinks that Johnnie was looking for some sort of hair restorer instead of recuperating his health.
To Ed Jahn goes the medal for most prompt response to a letter from the class secretary to date. Ed is with the Carnegie Steel Co., at Youngstown, Ohio,—has a record of 15 years service, without missing a day on the job. He did have a 21 months' trip to Europe in 1917, '18, and '19 with the 15th U. S. Engineers as a representative of his Uncle Sam. Ed wants a 1915 Aegis, and will appreciate help in getting one.
Speaking of Omaha (perhaps we still think first of Scottie's and a western with onion in it), now it's a Western center for 1915. Doyle Rector and Don Howe with the Fairmont Creamery, Zeke Carpenter in a top notch position of the Carpenter Paper Co., Drex Sibbernsen in some bridge business (this refers to either auction or chasms), and John Loomis, a very successful attorney.
Replies from 70% of letters sent out in March is the best performance to date. The scribe is much encouraged, and promises to continue so long as results can justify it. An occasional newspaper clipping is thoughtfully forwarded to him. Why not get the habit and help others get the news!
Secretary, Woodsville, N. H.
SAY, BROTHER GIVE ME SOME HELP; SHAKE OUT OF IT AND SEND ME SOME NEWS ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE DOING 1915
