Class of 1921
When reading through our New York Times one morning recently we were startled to see a familiar face staring at us from one of the sporting pages. It seems that our ex-president, Orton H. H., had been snapped by a news photographer while he was competing in a Long Island tennis tournament. All joking to one side, Ort has been turning in some fine performances on the courts this summer, and according to a non-Dartmouth friend of ours who knows considerable about the w.k. net game, has been giving a battle to some of the best players in the New York metropolitan area.
And now Ort plans to extend his prowess in the field of squash. The Dartmouth Club of New York has just been admitted to the Metropolitan Squash League, in which such clubs as the Harvard, Yale, Tennis and Racquet, and Union League clubs are members, and Ort in addition to playing on the Dartmouth Club team will represent Dartmouth on the executive council of the league. And his alternate on the council will be Harry Chamberlaine. In addition Jack Hubbell and Mac Johnson are on the squad that is practising for the coming season, so that contests in which the club compete are due to be of a decidedly 1921 tone.
Speaking of the Dartmouth Club, at the annual meeting of the members of that club held during September, Jack Hubbell and Harry Chamberlaine were among those )elected to the board of governors of the club for the coming year.
Further news of the club indicates that both Jack and Ort are apparently going to have a busy winter, for they are among the members of the club listed among those to represent Dartmouth in an intercollegiate contract bridge league in New York, which is to stage a series of matches during the next few months. The other colleges in the league are Yale, Harvard, Princeton, Columbia, Cornell, and Pennsylvania.
Before we forget it, Treasurer Bob Burroughs has asked us to notify the 'class that no dues' receipts were being mailed out this year, and that your check or money order would serve as a receipt.
We ran into Bud Richart at the Dartmouth Club recently, and he informed us that he was back in the real estate game in Westchester county. He said also that Bill Barber, with whom he worked in the New York Unemployment Relief Committee offices last winter, was still connected with the committee. From all reports Bill has been doing a fine job. He is in the department which seeks jobs for "white collar" workers now in the ranks of the unemployed.
From the Alumni Records office in Hanover comes word that Ed Luedke is now located in Chicago. He is connected with J. M„ Inc., a printing ink firm. His business address is 435 West Ontario St., Chicago.
From the same source comes word that Ralph Haynes is now an insurance broker with offices at 123 William St. in New York city.
"Jigger" Hodgdon turns in a new business address as 619 North Fifth St., Quincy, Ill. We know no other details, but will seek them.
Charlie Gilson is now a member of the Chicago crowd, the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, in whose ranks he has been rising steadily, having moved him on to the w.k. Windy City. He is now supervisor of the group division in Chicago. His business address is Room 1200, 134 North LaSalle St., and he dwells at 847 Judson Ave. in nearby Evanston.
One of our correspondents has sent us an advertisement put out by a group of Chicago financiers who had formed a committee to look out for the interests of the holders of Chicago transit bonds in connection with a receivership action, and the ad lists as the secretary of the committee our own Harry Mosser, who, as you may recall, is connected with Halsey, Stuart & Co. in Chicago.
During the summer ye sec. had the pleasure of a visit from Ken Sater, the notorious Columbus, 0., barrister, and ex-roommate of this column. Ken is still practising law in Ohio's capital with his dad and keeping plenty busy. Under a bit of third degree on our part he admitted that he had been doing considerable on the side in American Legion circles, and had recently served as the president of the Chi Phi club of Columbus.
We also had a call during the summer from Charles Stickney, the Boston financial news expert, who was down in Manhattan for a day or two. He went back to Boston via Springfield, Mass., and on his return to the Hub wrote us of a pleasant chat in Springfield with Lovell Cook and Cory Litchard, who are keeping busy as the general agents of the Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Co. in Springfield, which, as you may recall, is the home office of the company.
The sporting pages report that Norm Crisp has adhered to his usual custom and obtained his annual fall leave at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., and moved back to Hanover to assist Jack Cannell as line coach of the Dartmouth team.
We hope, what with the football games and the start of the class dinner season, to have a few more items with which to keep this typewriter busy during the coming months, so if you have attended any of the games, seen any members of the class, and picked up any items of interest, do drop us a line. This machine is a very hungry little beast and favors most highly choice news items.
