Class of 1905
According to the Boston Herald, Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Chase of Milton are in their new home on Hillside St., which was formerly occupied by Mrs. Chase's mother, the late Mrs. H. Clifford Gallagher.
An interesting and good-looking portrait °£ W. Huston Lillard, "Tabor's Seagoing Headmaster," was reproduced in the Boston Transcript recently, together with a brief story of his work. "He is largely responsible for the program of the International Schoolboy Fellowship, which seeksto develop friendly relations with schoolsin England, France, and Germany. He assisted in organizing the Sea Scouts, abranch of the Boy Scouts of America. Atpresent he is chairman of the Interscholastic Yacht Racing Association. Mr. Lillardretains his commission as a lieutenantcolonel in the active reserve of the UnitedStates Army."
Here is a good newsy letter from Lafayette Chamberlin—just the kind we all like to read in this column. We will have room for a lot more in these next several numbers. Will you, classmate reader, catch the spirit and apply your service club principals in time for the next issue? Please! Here it is (in part):
"Dear Mac:—As a matter of fact I havebeen on the job most all summer with theexception of week-ends and golf after fouro'clock. I have seen Robert Hatch Hardingon the train two or three times as he wasmaking his way to Chatham on Fridayafternoons. Bob has a place at Chatham,and his father has been with him therethis summer. TV. E. Chamberlain's children were away at camp, and he and Mrs.Chamberlain did not go to the Cape thisyear as they usually do. George N. Proctorand family spent the summer at Marblehead. I talked with Dr. Loder on the telephone yesterday. He said that he had hadone of the best vacations for years whenhe and his boy sailed out on the doctor'sthirty-foot ketch, and were out of range oftelephone for two weeks, I think he said itwas. They went down as far as the Penobscot, and with the exception of a day ortwo of fog had wonderful weather.
"Our daughter Katherine enters Smiththe last of this month (September). BettyProctor is also in the freshman class atSmith this fall.
"James Adams, of Chicago fame, is building the veterans' hospital at Bedford, Mass.,and is staying at the Concord Inn, Concord,Mass., for a few weeks. He tells me that heis using Roger Brown and his forces fortrucking on the job. Jim plans to be hereduring November, and we hope he will bepresent at the round-up before the Harvardgame.
"I saw Ed Newdick on the street today.He said that business was reasonably .good,and he looked handsome and prosperous.
"I heard through a neighbor at the Capethat Gilbert Fall was at his camp at Wequaquet Lake, but I didn't get a chance to seehim."
Jim Alexander has moved from Detroit to Boston, his business address being 184 Summer St., and his residence, 43 Pleasant St., South Natick. It is said that he is engaged in "publishing," but whether it is a newspaper or poetry or just rumors we are not informed. Last spring he was planning to move back East and to operate a sales promotion company. We are asking for details.
We also learn that Harry Taplin has moved from Cleveland to New York and is now a credit manager, with his office at 258 Broadway and his residence at 41 Heminway Ave., New Rochelle, N. Y.
Harry Preston sends in a clipping from the Manchester Union of September 21, to the effect that a fellowship in the American College of Dentists was recently awarded to Dr. Harry L. Watson at a convention in Buffalo. The award consists of a certificate, cap, and gown, and is conferred upon members of the profession, who, among other things, "are unquestionably looked upon as leaders in their respective communities," etc. "The honor comesto Dr. Watson after having completed 25 years as a practicing dentist in this city.. . . Dr. Watson is a past president of theN. H. Dental Society." ("Steve" Stevens '01 also sent us a similar clipping. Thanks, Steve.)
Our wanderer, and sort of delegate at large, Shirley B. Cunningham, sends us a page from Auditorium Echoes, official publication of the Cleveland hotels, headed
" 'Red Cats Now Big-Time Team,' says Ready." It is an article about the Western Reserve football team, of which Tom is head coach. After considerable detail: "Reserve has three splendid coaches inTom Ready (and two others). Ready, aBoston Irishman and a graduate of Dartmouth, who has had twenty years' experience in 'big-time' football, is head coach.He had wonderful success as coach of Lehigh University for nine years, and he hasalso coached the U. S. Marines and theUniversity of Vermont. Tom's record overmany years shows victories over Yale, Dartmouth, and many other big teams. (When was that victory over Dartmouth? I had quite forgotten it.) He is a fellow whodoesn't scare at the cars when meeting thebig-timers, and he is fully capable ofcoaching a big-time team at Reserve. . . .
Coach Tom Keady has a son on the squadwho is said to be quite a star." (That must be Thomas 8., the oldest boy. The second son, Walter E., is in the Dartmouth class of '34, and the third son, Charles R., 12 years old, is hardly ready for football material yet.) The article surrounds a good picture of Tom in his football togs. He looks well and husky, which is confirmed in Shirley's letter.
Shirley also says: "X saw Hodgman at Case School of Applied Science, where he teaches physics. He still retains his youthful figure; said his boy (Edward M.) was a senior at Case and planned to take up architecture, and that his daughter (Margaret E.) was a freshman at Western Reserve."
And what do you think about this? Herford Elliott is to be married! Or already is, by the time you read this. For years the Secretary of this class has been suggesting to Herford the wisdom of such a course, and we are gratified that he has finally decided to follow our advice. About September 23 his engagement to Miss Priscilla Burrage, daughter of Herbert D. Burrage of Lowell, was announced. Miss Burrage is a graduate of the Lowell schools and studied abroad at Miss Wood's School in Rome and Paris. The past year she has been studying at Katharine Gibbs School in Boston. She is a niece of Admiral Guy Burrage, U. S. N., retired. While the date for the wedding had not at that time been set, it was expected that it would take place some time in October.
Quoting from "Squeaks" from the Dartmouth Assn. of Northern California: "Justreturned from a delightful Labor Dayweek-end, camping in the redwoods ofSo?ioma county at Venado, near Healdsburg. Many of you have been there andknow of the genuine Dartmouth hospitality that exists about that fine log cabinhome of Stillman and Lillian Batchellor('05). We caught Batch in the secret processof making up boxes of 'Nature's Confection.' Here's the secret: For days Batcharises at the break of dawn and collectsevery ripe prune in the orchard (you knowthose immense luscious imperials). First,they must fully ripen on the tree. Thenhe bathes them in the sun, packs them inredwood boxes (plain or stuffed with walnut meats), and ships them to your door a prune that is not a prune—in reality'Nature's Confection.' " After that follows an enthusiastic boost for Batch's prunes, which we cannot print without paying the regular advertising rates.
We have two '05 sons in the freshman class this year: Hugh C. G. Chase, a son of Fred, and Allen T. Luey, son of William A. The class of 1910 carries off the honofs this year with a total of eleven sons, which probably is the record to date. The classes of '99, '08, and '11 come next with four each.
George Agry and his family are now living at George's old home, 47 Park St., Newton, Mass., having moved there recently from Syracuse, N. Y. Bill Knibbs 3d, and Bill Clough, both '34, are listed as members of the 1932 Dartmouth football squad. Here's hoping they both make good.
Next month we will have three or four letters from some of you guys who promised them last year. That is, we will if you will sit down now, after reading this, and write to the Secretary, at the above address, and tell where you were this summer, and other things which might interest us. Do it now!
Secretary, 45 East Main St. Malone, N. Y.
