Class of 1910

Ralph Paine, president and general manager of Howland-Hughes Co., Waterbury's (Conn.) leading department store, was highly honored at a dinner given by the management, buyers, and merchandising groups of the firm. It is well known in that section of the country that Ralph has done a most excellent job with the concern since its reorganization ten years ago.

Bunny Armstrong's M. R. A. (Most Recent Address) is 179 Lincoln St., Boston. We're all for you, Bunny, wherever you move to.

Guy Spokesfield, a leading Divot Digger of the Dartmouth Association of Northern California according to "Squeaks,'! official publication of that august body, visited Chan Baxter in Tacoma not so many moons ago—latter personage has lost one-half ton of weight—drives right-hand curves on two wheels and left-handers on the other two-Guy then reuned with Louis Langdell in Portland, who says depression has put us all on scratch—that or worse—so one man is just as liable to wallop out a home-run as another—Guy concludes: "Anybody whocan live in Portland and be a philosophermust have something. As for me, boy, I'mheading south, where the sun comes outat least once in awhile."

President Pineo claims to be a fisherman —at least he sent a snap-shot showing His Honor holding a lot of big fishes but neglected to cut off the portion showing an arm pushing a young whale into the picture—and a big tub full of something in the left background.

Freddy Batchellor is with International Printing Ink Corporation of 75 Varic St., New York city.

Art Lord continues to browse around Hanover whenever he can create the opportunity.

A little bird told me this summer that Walter Norton is one of the real efficient executives in U. S. Rubber—but just try to get that information or anything like it out of that clam—who continues to be a 110% Dartmouth man 110% of the time.

Once in awhile the alumni records get wrong information—a recent case is that of Charlie Devine who was carried on the records as dead for many years. Miss Charlotte Ford, who does very fine work as head of the Alumni Records Department at Hanover and has been checking over such cases, to supplement the meager information at hand, wrote Charlie's father in Pueblo, Colo., and received a letter stating that Charlie was in business at McAllen, Texas.

Fritz Rainey has the feature article in July issue of the Philadelphia ForumMagazine—entitled "Joel Barlow: Patriot and Prophet"—Barlow, born in 1755 educated at Dartmouth and Yale—lawyer, minister, writer, soldier of the Revolution (fighting in the war during vacation periods) editor, prophet, reformer—Fritz has written a very interesting article which has found its way to the Archive Room in Baker Library.

That Jersey golf combination of Tenners has been going strong all year—Jim Porter and Phil Forristall play Tobe and President Pineo home-and-home matches at the Essex County Country Club, the Montclair Gold Club, and Balustrol. It is said Jim and Phil take Pineo and Tobe like Grant took Richmond with Blackstones as the reason for their success. The former two pass around so many smokes of their factory-make that neophytes Tobin and Jackson are lost in the smoke screens.

Cliff Lyon is no mean member of Green, Bennett, and Lyon, law firm, with offices in Holyoke and Springfield, Mass.

Speaking of barristers reminds me that two more very prominent ones from our class met this summer on the Martha's Vineyard boat—Gay Gleason and Bill Tucker—both vacationing.

The summer seems to throw Tenners together wherever they are—Julius Warren, one of Ten's leading educators, is attending Harvard Summer School—Art Lord had him and Gay Gleason at his home for an evening—Johnny ("Tax") Mitchell is principal of the high school in Lakewood, a large Cleveland suburb, where Julius is superintendent of schools.

Walter Norton and family spent several days with the Jim MacPhersons on the Cape.

Start your class news coming through, as the supply is mighty low right now.

Andy Scarlett did one fine job with the Alumni Fund this year—the class ranked second in total funds raised being exceeded only by 1879, which raised $3,857 as against our $3,781—our money came from 169 contributors—74% of our quota, while the entire Fund ran 66% of the total quota— Andy modestly gives full credit to his assistants—and compiled some interesting information for them with instructions that they were re-appointed for next year—it was a great job well done in a tough time.

Here are several address changes to bring your lists up to date:—

Last heard of Harold Robinson was the "Adjustment Number of the Chinese Chimes" with date line "Peiping, China- June, 1935" with the following line-up "Editor, H. W. Robinson—Busy Manager,Mary S. Robinson—Cub Reporter, HaroldS. Robinson—Sport Editor, James W.Robinson—Treasurer, Elizabeth A. Robinson—Office Dog, Pickles Robinson." It was mailed in an American Mail Line envelope from Seattle, Wash., on June 29—so it is fair to assume that the Robinsons are in this country—and probably at 335 Carroll Park West, Long Beach, Calif., where they plan to spend the first half of their year's furlough—then they plan to come East to spend the last half—Robbie has had some very interesting experiences during his many years of missionary work in China—some of which are given in "Chimes" and other matter released by him.

It's none too early to plan to attend the fall round-up, which will probably be in Boston, night before the Harvard game.

"Shing" Sherwin is manager of the Alexander Hamilton Institute for Central Massachusetts.

Newell C. Maynard of our class has risen rapidly in the educational world—serving as a clergyman for ten years after graduation, he then became a lecturer at Harvard Summer School—receiving his M. Ed. degree from there in 1927—since then he has been the Fletcher professor of oratory at Tufts College—he is well known as a speaker and fills many engagements during the year.

"Easty" was "on the air" Sept. 2—"Mr.Whitney H. Eastman, president of theNational Soy Bean Oil Manufacturers Association and member of the firm of ArcherDaniels-Midland Co., soy bean crushersand manufacturers, spoke on his industryin a radio broadcast over the N. B. C.network"—domestic produce is looking up —AI Dorr travels by air to sell butter and eggs—"Easty" takes to the air to make people use more beans or something of the sort.

Ray Seymour, n. y. barrister and Alumni Fund collector extraordinary, sends postal card from Germany showing "Das grosse" something which was built in "Jahre 1751" and contains "221,726 Liter" of something that you drink from a stein—law business must be good in n. y.
