CLASS OF 1921
Just a month to go. And then you can quit being barrister, doctor, advertising specialist, just plain business man, or what have you, and have a few days renewing your youth with the best gang on earth in that mecea for every Dartmouth man. The rest of the class is counting on your being there, don't disappoint 'em.
We've just learned that Rog Bird no longer has a monopoly on this radio broadcasting business, and we might state in passing that Rog is fast winning a large army of fans by his singing over some of the New York stations. Rog's colleague in the business of going on the air is none other then Marsh Whelden. We quote from a recent issue of the Rutland, Vt., Herald: "Calling attention to the benefits of a chamber of commerce to a community and urging all citizens to look into the record of the local chamber, B. Marsh Whelden, secretary of the organization, spoke for five minutes last evening over radio station WSYB here. The broadcast preceded a canvass to boost the membership of the Rutland Chamber." Wish we'd known it earlier, old-timer, for we'd have thrown the old radio into high and listened in.
In our last edition we promised to give an account of the 1921 dinner held in New York during March. Here it is. Twenty-five members of the class gathered at the Dartmouth Club on March 10, and after a few frantic games at the kick-it table the party adjourned next door to the Fraternities Club, where part of the grill had been reserved for us, and there the party really got under way. Those out were: Ort Hicks, Bord Helmer, Rex King, Cliff Hart, Tom Griffiths, Sumner Perkins, Frank Livermore, Rog Wilde, Larry Nardi, Norm Kadison, Doc Rosenthal, Harry Chamberlaine, Bill Lies, Dana Lamb, Bill Terry, Bunny Gardner, Mac Johnson, Jack Hubbell, Bill Alley, Artie Anderson, Bandy Lowe, Doug Storer, Bob Loeb, Tracy Higgins, and Ye Sec.
And here's a few items we gleaned there.
Bord Helmer, having completed his course at the Harvard Business School, is back in New York once more, but has deserted the real estate game for Wall St. He is now connected with the Irving Investors Management Co. at 63 Wall St.
Dana Lamb, out at his first '21 gathering in many moons, admitted to being in the financial game too. He is connected with the New York Stock Exchange firm of J. G. Marshall and Co. at 61 Broadway.
Bill Lies reports he is in the furniture game. His firm, Lies and Lippke, has an office and showroom at 114 East 32d St. They describe themselves as furniture manufacturers' representatives, and any Twenty-oners about to enter into the marriage game or those already married and having lively young offspring given to wrecking the best pieces of furniture when the gang plays Wild West in the parlor on rainy days are invited to call around and see Bill.
Tom my Griffith has become, of all things, a Jersey commuter. The address of the new Griffith homestead is 173 Sheridan Ave., Ho-Ho-Kus, N. J. You know that town, not far from Weehawken and Secaucus.
Carlton McMackin, it seems, is now traveling through the East as the representative of some New York book firm, we weren't able to learn the name. How about supplying the lack, Mac?
When writing of radio activities a while back we should have mentioned that every time we see him we find that Doug Storer is getting deeper and deeper into that field himself. Doug has spent most of the past few months working out radio features for firms whose accounts his advertising firm is handling. And what Doug doesn't know about radio, fore and aft, isn't worth knowing.
And in passing we might mention that our president's firm has moved to that center of the universe, Fifth Ave. and 42d St., which is another way of saying that the Royalties Management Corporation is now located at 500 Fifth Ave., New York city. Incidentally Ort is now secretary of this organization.
The Alumni Records Office at Hanover informs us that Ted Hartshorn is now a chemist with A. J. Lindemann and Hoverson Co. in Milwaukee.
From the same source comes the news that Hermon McMillan is now connected with the Standard Oil Co. of New York. His new business address is 230 Park Ave., New York city, and he dwells at 56 West 11th St.
Treasurer Ned writes from Chicago that the gang out there had five men out at the annual dinner of the Dartmouth alumni of Chicago, which was held March 11. Those out were Ken Thomas, Bill Embree, Val Grundman, Dud Robinson, and Ned himself. Ingham Baker happened to be in Chicago on business from Springfield, Mass., at the time, and he dropped in before the party was over.
Ned also reports that Marion Sherwood was in Chicago recently on his way back to Los Angeles after a trip from California to New York by ship through the Panama Canal. Sherry is still in the milling game with the Sperry Flour Co. in Los Angeles.
For some unknown reason there were only three Twenty-oners out at the annual dinner in Boston this spring. Those on hand were Chan Cavis, Russ Bailey, and Bob Mayo, and the great Hub mystery of the hour seems to be, "Where were the others?"
Jim Wicker has been located again. Keeping track of these W. T. Grant men is enough to make a secretary get grey-haired or bald or both. Anyway unless he's shifted between now and the time you read this Jim is now located at Niagara Falls, N. Y.
And now in our best Ethel Barrymore voice we say, "That's all there is. There isn't anymore."
See you in June.
Secretary, 7 Lotus Road, New Rochelle, N. Y.
