CLASS OF 1921
Ye sec. is concentrating on the Ten Year Report this month, so we beg your indulgence if this department is sketchy and brief this issue. Also what with the holidays and all, 1921's news sleuths haven't been sleuthing very hard and news am scarce.
However, Joe Folger has written in from Hanover with the glad news that he has a second son, David Winslow Folger, who was born November 21, 1931.
And reading a review of a recent concert by the University Glee Club of New York city we saw that a quartet of which '21's famous warbler Rog Bird is a member drew special praise. Rog, as all of you who were at the Titanic Tenth well know, sings even better than in the days when we were mere stripling undergraduates, and in addition to winning laudatory comments at New York concerts is doing a lot of singing over the radio.
Harking back to the Prom shows and glee clubs of yesteryear as we always do when thinking of Rog, we learned recently that Homer Cleary, Dartmouth's outstanding character actor of a decade ago, is carrying on his work in dramatics at the University School in Cleveland, where he is a member of the faculty. He is serving this year also as coach of The Players, the school's theatrical organization. Homer, like Rog, proved to the gang last June that he was just as good as their memories had told them he was, and that gotten in front of a piano he could still make the ivories talk as of yore. Homer like ye sec. has put on some weight in the last ten years, and we still think it's a toss-up as to which one of us was the most played out after the long trek up to Moose Cabin for the class supper in June. Anyway Homer's remarks tossed out between gasps for breath were worth the walk. We only hope there are some mountain climbing scenes in the plays he's directing this winter. They'll astonish Cleveland if there are.
Dud Robinson is now living in Youngstown, Ohio, but what his present job is we know not, and we'll aim for a more complete report later.
Frank Taylor is now hanging up his hat at night at 91 Passaic Ave., Chatham, N. J.
"Coot" Carder has become connected with the firm of Edward Gore and Company, with offices in the Empire State building in New York city.
Walt Lundegren has moved to Marblehead, Mass. The last report we had of him was that he was living in Jackson Heights, L. 1., but the whyfor of his shift from New York to Boston we know not. However, we'll seek to find out.
A card from Ken Bingham provides the information that he is dividing his time between the insurance and real estate games in Birmingham, Mich.
"C. D." Bassett is now holding down the vice-president's chair of the Aberdeen National Bank and Trust Cos., Aberdeen, S. D.
Our valedictorian, Seth Densmore, is doing his accounting this year in Burlington, Vt., after making the jump from Hanover, N. H., via New York, Sherbrooke, and Boston.
A new Dartmouth catalogue just out records the membership of a Samuel Boggess of Carthage, Mo., in the freshman class. Obviously a kid brother or some sort of relative of our Luke.
Phil Payson has shifted from New England to Ohio, and is now district representative of the S. K. F. Industries, Inc., with offices at at 645 Penton Building, Cleveland.
We called up ex-president Hicks yesterday in the hope of gleaning a little late information for these columns, but found that Ort was away on a two weeks' business trip, and as Ort's trips are usually productive of plenty of items about the gang, we'll have that to look forward to next month.
And in the meantime we'll really get that report into your hands.
Secretary, 7 Lotus Road, New Roehelle, N. Y.
