Class of 1909
Roy Abbott's older boy is on the scholastic honor roll at Needham High School. As we remember it, the Rabbit himself did most of his college work in about two days per semester, just before exam time, and it was always a puzzle to us how he managed to get such good marks.
Mrs. Emile H. Erhard gave a luncheon at the Dedham Country and Polo Club for her attractive debutante daughter Madeline.
Freddie Batchellor spent last winter in New Hampshire, but is now back in New York selling automobile insurance.
Bob Gould has moved from New York city to Hastings, N. Y.
Harold Hall is with Kean Taylor Company, Exchange Place, Manhattan.
Dillingham, formerly with Candy Brands, Inc., is now with the Kibbe Confectionery Company of Springfield, Mass., although he is maintaining his residence, for the time being at least, at Medford, Mass.
Anson McLoud has become treasurer and tax collector of Scarsdale, N. Y.
Moffatt's good work in India has been obviously recognized through his appointtnent as treasurer of the Board of Missions of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and his new address is Board of Foreign Missions, Robinson Memorial, Byculla, Bombay, India.
Fred Plummer's house address is changed to 3109 Walling Drive, Austin, Texas.
Tommy Murphy and his family sailed in June for an extended trip through England, Ireland, and France.
The sudden death of Bob Eaton on Monday, June 21 last, of heart disease, was an unexpected loss which grieved all of us.
Sawny Reagan's election to the Alumni Council is obviously well merited, and he should make a valuable addition. But we are further pleased with the thought that the duties of this office will require visits to New England, so that we will have a chance to see him personally. These college jobs give a reasonable excuse to oneself for visiting Hanover and getting back with the crowd. Highly desirable from this viewpoint alone.
Roscoe Pearl spent his vacation in the White Mountains as usual, climbed Kearsage, Chocura, and other mountains, and is in fit condition to start his horseback riding this fall. For a fellow who avowedly is not athletically inclined, Roscoe is nevertheless one of our most physically active classmates.
Your Secretary, incidentally, took six small boys up Chocura this summer, their ages ranging from six to twelve, and was surprised, not to say dismayed, at the ease and speed with which they ascended. And Harriet climbed Whiteface in one hour and thirty-nine minutes. Truly competition gets dizzier and dizzier, as Phil Avery also realized as he watched Joan give a very good imitation of a torpedo speeding through the water this summer.
The Hookers spent the summer at their Vermont mountain top residence, as usual.
The Worthens spent the summer at their summer place on Lake Memphramagog, which you will remember is on the Canadian side of the border. Joe kept himself busy between fishing and supervising the building of a tennis court. We have not heard of any prize fish this summer.
Avery and I were successful as usual this season, in showing Burns and Hooker a golf rule that fellows who put the ball in the hole with the fewest strokes usually win. This report will cause Burns and Hooker to say several things, but your scribe feels safe in the thought that only the class secretary can get material into this part of the magazine, at least. There really are some advantages in being class secretary, after all. In fact if the secretary received an average of a letter a month from the class, he would feel that his job was quite endurable. Any such flood of letters though would beat the previous average by about twelve to one. Which reminds me, what has become of all of the fellows who at the last meeting of the class at old Dartmouth agreed to write regularly long letters full of interesting information?
