Class of 1908
Bob Marsden, dean of the Thayer School, spent several days in Bangor early in October, attending meetings of a national society of civil engineers, of which he is the secretary.
Sons of 'OB men in the freshman class are Freelan M. Blodgett of Woburn, George H. Marsh (Ev's boy) of Geneva, Ill., Richard F. Treadway of Williamstown, Mass., and Laforrest Thompson (son of Phil) of Yonkers, N. Y.
Howard Cowee, the Worcester lawyer, took his family to the Lafayette game in Hanover. Roy Keith, employment chief of Massachusetts State Prison, was also there. Prison-expert Keith could give Attorney Cowee reports on some of his former clients, we suppose.
Bill Knight was a Hanover visitor in September with Ray Sheets '10, also of Rockford. Sheets has a son in College, and the two old Rockforders came East to get the boy and the College started right.
Mary Marsden was holding down a bed in Mary Hitchcock Hospital in October and was threatened with another operation. She says if her health was as good as her spirits the doctors and hospitals wouldn't get all Bob's salary as a Dartmouth professor.
String Hale reported that he was eating lunch in Concord with Joe Chase one day in the summer when Follette Isaacson dropped in and joined them. John Glaze later reported Follette in Niagara Falls.
Chuck Wood sends us "Squeaks from the Golden Gate," a mimeographed sheet of Dartmouth activities on the well-known Pacific Coast. In it we find the news item that Capt. Harry Lyon ('08, but they forgot to print that) was leaving San Francisco in a sporty car and would drive to Maine to visit his mother. Harry has been lecturing on Trans-Pacific navigation. Of course you recall that he was the chap who navigated the plane Southern Cross from California to Australia.
Art Lewis organized the Boston bunch and arranged a pre-Harvard game class luncheon at the Commander hotel in Cambridge. The lunch is two weeks away, but it'll be two weeks behind by the time you read this, so we'll tell about it next time.
Art Soule was a Hanover visitor in September. Art O'Shea's family went up to the Norwich and Vermont games, but the nominal head of the family let 'em go without him.
String Hale was active in arranging a forestry exhibit for the state of New Hampshire at the Springfield fair.
There's a 25th reunion coming next June. You'll probably hear about it again. Meantime—how do you expect notes in the ALUMNI MAGAZINE if you never spill anv news?
