Class of 1907
Charlie Ryder has been in California for the last two years, and is now associated with the Confederated Engineers, Ltd., 1008 W. 6th St., Los Angeles, Calif.
Several classmates and members of their families have been in Hanover recently:
Bishop Niles and Judge McLane attended the Norwich game with their wives.
Tod Plummer and Jack Downey and their wives enjoyed the Vermont game.
Lucy and Dick Lane spent a recent weekend with the Heneages, enjoying football, foliage, and both old and new golf courses.
Pat Hathaway is assistant to the president of the Gulf Oil Corporation of Pennsylvania. He has offices both in New York and in Pittsburgh.
Dick Southgate reports from Hanover that there are forty-three sons of graduates in the freshman class, and that two of them are sons of 1907 fathers, Martin and Wyman.
Harry Wellman adds to his well-known laurels as a disciple of Isaak Walton! The Fredericton, New Brunswick, Daily Gleaner prints on September 15:
"A college professor, Harry R. Wellmanof Dartmouth College, Hanover, N. H.,yesterday landed the record salmon takento date by an angler in the SouthwestMiramichi River. A salmon weighing 35pounds, 2 ounces was hooked by him ateight o'clock in the morning and at fiveminutes past noon was landed.
"The successful fly-fisherman was inFredericton today, proud of his accomplishment and receiving congratulations.
"Those keeping records place the nextlargest salmon taken by fly in SouthwestMiramichi at thirty-five pounds evenweight, taken some years ago."
It is reported, but not confirmed, that a daughter was recently born to Mr. and Mrs. James A. Bartlett, of Rockford, Ill. The class secretary will try to get a statement out of Jimmy.
The class will deeply sympathize with Frank Crocker on account of the death of his son John by drowning on October 1 off Winnegansett Heights near New Bedford. He was visiting a classmate at Milton Academy, Thomas Shewell, at South Dartmouth. The missing boys, both second form students at Milton Academy, left Nonquitt in a canoe at about 8:45 Saturday night for a trip of an hour or two. It is believed they put in at Padanaram a short time later, and a yacht hand reported seeing two men in a canoe pass the break-water at South Dartmouth outward bound at 9:15. A stiff headwind was blowing as they began their return, and the only hope of their safety was in the possibility that they would be picked up by a fisherman or landed on some island. The canoe and paddles were picked up on Sunday, October 2, and hope for the boys' recovery had to be abandoned after a few days.
