CLASS OF 1911
The annual Alumni Carnival held on the February 22 week-end found a few 1911ers trying to make believe they were still undergraduates and as proficient on skiis and skates as the present undergraduate really is. Chub Sterling and Warren Agry were doing a little bachelor stunt, and they certainly didn't miss a trick. Moreover Walt Reilly will testify to that, who sat in on one of the contract games one evening. Walt and Tib Reilly, President and Inez Adams were here with their respective offspring, and Jack Bartlett was here for a little visit with his father.
Don Cheney was last month tendered a very unusual honor when he was decorated with the award of the Silver Beaver by the Boy Scouts of America. This is next to the highest award, the Silver Buffalo, which is reserved for men who have rendered outstanding service in the national and international field. This was the first Silver Beaver award ever made in that section of Florida. You will be interested in the following clippingtaken from the Jacksonville Times Union:
"Judge Donald A. Cheney of the Orange County Juvenile Court and former president of the Central Florida Boy Scout Council, today was presented with the silver beaver national award by the national council, in recognition of his work among boys both in the scouting and non-organization fields. arm . • ,
"The presentation was made here at the annual meeting of the Central Florida Boy Scout Council. Judge Cheney has been active in boyhood work for many years. He was formerly president of the council and also served as treasurer. He is now secretary of the Orange County Y. M. C. A."
Occasional press notices indicate that Dick Paul is being kept pretty much on the jump as vice-commander of the American Legion. A few of the news items refer to such events as his attendance upon the Governor of Massachusetts, the organizing of unemployment drives in New Hampshire and attending the winter conference of the Florida Post of the American Legion.
In an earlier issue I promised to give you, Louis Hall's address. I double the promise and here they are: Home, 28 Franklin St., Morristown, N. J., and business, 734 Custom, House, New York city.
Notices of a few migrations of major or minor importance depending upon the length of the move have come from the Alumni Secretary's office. Syd Beane continues to hold down his job as construction engineer with the Brown Company in Berlin, N. H., but has moved to 301 Hillside Ave.
Warren Agry reported that Bill Carlisle was with the Detroit Times, Detroit, Mich., but Jack Ingersoll refers to his being in Chicago, so you may take your choice. Coke Holdman sends in a new address of Adin, Calif.
The Chic Jordans have changed their residence to 1004 Wescott St., Syracuse, N. Y. I have only this bare fact with regard to Bob Keeler, but it is that his new business address is Guaranty Company of New York, Boatmen's Bank Building, St. Louis, Mo.
The Secretary's office has done well to get word from Red McLaughlin, who sends in his address as 19 Gard Ave., Bronxville, N. Y. I personally have not been able to doas well as this, for in my several years as Secretary the only kind of letter I could get from him was my own, returned by the post office to which it had been mailed.
John Pearson has moved a little nearer to the center of things, now having his office at 3 North State St., which, unless my geography is wrong, is right next to the State House. Incidentally, John has been enjoying a trip to Panama and environs.
There are two new addresses for John Randall. Business, 100 Central Ave., St. George, Staten Island, N. Y. Residence, Ocean Terrace, Stapleton, Staten Island. A card from Stouder Thompson carries the general information that he is now engaged in manufacturing, with business office at 1740 Union Trust Building, Cleveland, Ohio, and that he is living at 21006 Brantley Road, Shaker Heights, Ohio.
At the big Winter Carnival in February Bendy Griswold's daughter Dorothy was chosen a maid of honor to attend the queen. The Boston Herald carried a front-page picture of her, and referred to a Greater Boston young lady's being honored. Those who know her and saw the picture will agree that the judges used good taste in their selection.
I missed a visit from Al Hormel, who was in town recently on business for his new firm, the Improved Paper Corporation of Nashua, N. H. Al is living on West 183d St., New York city. This particular apartment of the city is described as Hudson View Gardens.
Sid and Ruth Backus have been keeping it a secret for some time, but the truth is now out. Anne Huntington was bom February 10.
Here's the last from Jack Ingersoll: "Just a line. Here is my new address. Landed a job with them yesterday, after an eight weeks' battle. It is doubtless one of the finest opportunities any guy ever had, and I am delighted. It is worth waiting years for, I hope. Had a fine Dartmouth banquet last night, and Craven gave a great talk. He sure is one regular guy! Brad Patten and I were the only 'Hers present, but we did our best."
His new address is The Dobeckmun Company, 3301 Monroe Ave., Cleveland, Ohio. And then here is good old Jack McDonald, from whom you don't hear very much but when you do you hear a lot. For instance, the Commonweal in its February 3 issue carried a very able article by Jack, entitled "When Nations Wrangle." This meaty article has resulted from his experiences with the Government Claims Commissions, and I recommend it to you for your further education. In addition to this there is another article in the March issue of the Journal of the American Bar Association, which discusses the Mexican arbitration. John says he is finding writing interesting, and I personally shall look forward to future articles, if they are as ably done as these already referred to.
Secretary, G. BURLEIGH, Hanover, N. H.
