CLASS OF 1916
To John Stearns we are indebted for the following news item concerning Gus Emery. From the State House at Boston results of the examination for the position of junior fish and game biologist in the state department of conservation, taken by twenty-four persons, place Gus at the top of the heap with three others only in the passing grade and the balance failing to even reach a mark that would entitle them to consideration. Congratulations, Gus, and we hope that this will mean the appointment.
Hobie Baker lists the best looking prospect for future Dartmouth football teams in Austin 3d. Age 13 years, height 5 ft. 8 in., weight 142 pounds. Hobie is director and sales manager for Eldridge Baker and Company, wholesale grocers in Boston.
In spite of the warm winter Charlie Creesy reports good business in the Automatic Coal Burning Equipment Company, of which he is president. Charlie still remains a bachelor.
In fact this bachelor situation needs some help. Out in Syracuse is Marty Linihan, New York state manager for the International Salt Company, with no family and by his own words no prospects, while in Denver Ev Parker is bemoaning the depression because as a salesman for Kennedy Boardman, Inc., investments, he has a Smith graduate all set, but now has to wait for the market to somewhat adjust itself.
Alec Jardine is now manager of the Sears Roebuck Company store in Pall River, Mass. Lives in Milton, Mass., with his wife and two daughters.
Alec sends the following news item of the P. Stirling Wilsons. Their radio reports of the Tulane-Southern California football game were interrupted by the arrival of a daughter. Congratulations.
Concord, N. H., should be a better town after their recent elections. Ralph George writes that the village went for Sunday sports in a big way, and everyday sports in that they returned him to the board of aldermen with a very flattering majority. Offers protection to you motorists to this historical village in that he is chairman of the Police Commission. Ralph is vice-president in charge of sales of a Ford dealer company in Concord. Resides there with his family, which consists of his wife and two daughters and one son. Hope that we never have to use that political pull, Heinie, but if we should it will be appreciated.
Ed Kirkland, after six years at Brown University as professor of American history, now occupies the same chair at Bowdoin College. Ed is fortunate in that he has a summer place at Thetford Hill which enables him to reach Hanover easily and make use of the Baker Library. Ed's family consists of his wife and one boy of six and one-half years.
It has been a long time since we have heard anything at all from H. J. McLellan, better known as Mac. But with his family of four, wife, son and daughter, he is now residing in Tyler, Texas. Mac is connected with the Humble Oil and Refining Company. His work is the supervision of the scouting, leasing, and geological departments in East Texas district. Mac states that they have the largest oil field in the world in East Texas, but that is only because Chicago is not able to claim an oil field of any sort. As an afterthought there is added the statement that good football is played in that neck of the world. It seems to me that I have heard that the West Coast also has a brand that needs no apologies.
Paul Goward after a spell in Eitchburg and Boston has married and settled in Worcester. In fact Worcester has been his main street for the past nine years. Paul is business manager of The School Arts Magazine, published in Worcester. Personally I haven't the slightest idea what this covers, and you will have to obtain your information direct, as Paul says he does not wish to write about himself but that if I can hit upon some questions to ask perhaps he will answer them. Any questions that you have in mind will be appreciated.
Ed Craver is vice-president of the Bates Shoe Company, located in Webster, Mass. Ed adds that he makes several trips to New York city and would like to see some of the 1916ers there, as he has a considerable number of free evenings. Am sending some addresses to Ed to get in touch with when next there.
Abe Lincoln, like all real estaters, is listing himself as unemployed except for time at the office polishing off the chairs and scratching the desks with his heels. Is a junior partner in the law office of Lincoln and Hood, specializing in real estate. Has a one-year-old son, in whom he places explicit confidence in making the grade to Dartmouth.
Dan Lindsley, his wife, and two boys are now enjoying the sunshine of Los Angeles. Dan is sales promotion engineer in California for West Coast Wood Preserving Company of Seattle. So his work is certainly cut out for him in times like these. Dan adds that he has seen Jack English for the first time since the Tenth. And Jack adds that Dan still has those red cheeks and that boyish complexion. Still keeps his optimism, as he predicted Dartmouth to take Stanford into camp.
May I express my thanks for the Christmas cards from the following: Beans, Burlens, Coffins, Coles, Englishes, Fullers, Holmes, Jardines, McQuestens, Parkhursts, and John McAuliffe?
My Boston reporter must have had too strenuous a celebration over the holidays, as I have nothing of the immediate happenings of Balmacaan in that section. We hope that 1932 will bring about a great number of changes for the better for all of you, and when it does let us hear about them.
