CLASS OF 1915
The Livermore law firm of which Russ is member has recently removed from the Wall St. district of banking brokers and broken bankers to 22 East 40th St. Russ says that one of the chief reasons for the move was to get nearer the Dartmouth Club, where he often lunches with Red Folan. At present writing Russ and the Mrs. are on a trip to Miami and Havana, where they are undoubtedly enjoying many things besides the climate.
A fine picture of two happy girls is acknowledged from Ed Jahn. They are cer- tainly fine children, Ed, but why not send along their names also!
Bill and Marion Huntress attended the Olympics at Lake Placid. In spite of this thrill, however, their chief interest seems to be centered around one Billy Huntress, who attains the remarkable age of one during the coming month of May.
George Ingalls, writing from the Wrigley building in Chicago, seems to have plenty of confidence in the engineers. I do not understand that he intended it as a political remark, and neither did he allude to that much debated issue of winning the war. The fact that M. L. Frederick and H. H. Lounsberry recently visited him "en masse" proves that college friendships do really last.
Ralph and Margaret Grout announce the recent arrival at 134 Ravine Ave., West Caldwell, N. J., of one Peter Grout, who already has plans for entering Dartmouth in the class of '49. Probably Crosby Hall will not be there then, but he will no doubt be able to swipe some wood for his fireplace from some near-by source, just as his daddy used to do back in the Good Old Days.
Capt. Cleveland, more familiarly known as Cleve, is still with the army at Ft. Preble,. Me., where he would prefer to remain rather than take any trips to China or vicinity for business purposes in the near future. Cap is still a real booster for the College, as is evidenced by the fact that he took a Penn man there to see the Cornell game last fall and got a voluntary admission from that gentleman that had he known what Dartmouth really was he never would have gone to Penn. Possibly what Dartmouth does to Cornell on certain occasions also had something to do with this situation.
Dr. Don Law reports progress from Staten Island, where he has been practicing medicine for over twelve years. He is planning to get off the Island for a trip to Hanover in 1935.
John Healy gave a very interesting report on a Dartmouth Club meeting he attended recently. Charlie Griffith gave a fine talk with lantern slides on his trip through the Far East. Russ Livermore and Carl Gish were also among those present.
On a recent business trip to .Boston the Secretary was able to visit with Al Priddy, Kike Richardson, and Dale Barker's better half by means of the telephone. But the offer of a free dinner' was not a sufficient inducement to extend this into a personal interview for purposes of class news.
John Loomis has certainly got up in the world. At least Cheyenne has an altitude almost equal to that of Mt. Washington, the highest peak in the East. John Jr. is now fifteen, and as the class baby has a good chance of being the first son of a '15er to enter Dartmouth. As John feels a bit lonesome being the only alumnus in town he will undoubtedly want Jr. to head toward Hanover at the earliest possible moment.
To Cloughy goes the honor for the most newsy letter of the month. As the roving agent for Richard Hudnut he claims to have called upon more members of the class in New England than any of the rest of us have done. From Claremont, N. H., where he visited Alfred Houle, he jumped to Rutland to see Bill Huntress, then to Orleans to see Tap (and pay his class dues), then to Bangor to see Casey Jones, the busiest man of our class in Earl's opinion.
Rev. Dick Merrill is surely still going strong in his Newton church after a fouryear stay there. He reports his people are the best in the world, and no doubt they think of him in the same terms. Dick has been doing a great deal of preaching among the New England preparatory schools and colleges, and soon goes to the U. S. Naval Academy for an address. More power to you, Dick.
The number who did not respond to the last appeal of the Secretary has somewhat dampened his enthusiasm for percentages, and no other mention of the subject is included here except that there is another month coming and he hopes lots of other replies are also coming his way.
