Class of 1906
I have returned from my vacation, spent mainly in the states of Wisconsin, Illinois, and Minnesota, to find that although it is yet two weeks to the opening of college, another batch of news from the ALUMNI MAGAZINE is due, and I sit down at my desk to overhaul the modest accumulation of class notes that has been growing since May. I know that I ought to have obtained some first-hand information on my trip, but I did not see a single member of the class of 1906. I looked diligently for them at the Century of Progress, but if any were there, they were in places I did not dare to penetrate. I was delightfully entertained at lunch in Milwaukee by seven Dartmouth men, but they were all of younger vintage than 1906, although the man who rounded them up was Whitney Eastman 'lO, brother of our Frank. He reported Frank as well and happy in Harrisburg.
I called at Nat Leverone's office, but Nat was in Boston at the time, a delegate from the Chicago Rotary Club to the International Rotary Convention. At one of the convention's big dinners, held in the gymnasium of the University Club of Boston on June 27, Nat acted as toastmaster, and I have no doubt many members of the class heard his voice over the radio as he introduced Governor Ely, Acting Mayor McGrath, and other notables.
A letter from Nat since his return to Chicago tells me that he saw Walter Powers and Charlie Main while in Boston, and Ivan Greenwood in Cleveland. Ivan is still in the real estate business.
Robert Wallace and Mrs. Wallace spent the Labor Day week-end in Hanover. Bob1 is looking fine and tells me that being father to three very active little girls is keeping him from growing old.
Toot Bourne, about whom I have been sending S.O.S. calls for the past half-year, has been located. His address is care of E. W. Dienhart, 260 Potwyne Place, Chicago.
Gott Brooks was the principal speaker at the 269 th meeting of the Northeastern Section of the American Chemical Society held at Gloucester on May 27. The subject of his address was "By-Products of Gloucester Fisheries," and Arthur Holmes, who was in the audience, tells me that it was a most interesting and instructive talk. Arthur suggests that any classmate looking for an out-of-town speaker to help some local activity could do much worse than to engage Gott.
Bill Fox's present address is care of Crosse and Blackwell, 51 Sleeper St., Boston.
Walter Powers is now serving his third year as president of the Boston Civic Club, which our Boston friends tell us is a very high honor.
Art Farrington, who for some time has been acting as district representative at Chicago for the Hookless Fastener Company, was transferred in May to the general offices of that company at Meadville, Pa.
I am in receipt of a monograph entitled "The Influence of the Composition of Yellow Corn on the Effectiveness of a Rachitogenic Ration" by Arthur D. Holmes and Francis Tripp, reprinted from the July issue of Cereal Chemistry.
Rev. Noble O. Bowlby officiated at the wedding in his own home, the Congregational parsonage at Meriden, N. H., of his daughter Marguerite to Mr. Sidney Lincoln of Everett, Mass. Her sister, Jeannette Bowlby, who acted as maid of honor, will be a sophomore this fall at Keene Normal School, where last May she won the first silver cup prize in the annual freshman public speaking contest. Don't forget to renew your subscription to the ALUMNI MAGAZINE. In these days of weak class treasuries the MAGAZINE is your only source of up-to-date news about your classmates.
Secretary, Hanover, N. H.
