Class of 1916
As you all know, Dartmouth and Princeton resume football relations on November ii. In New York the clan of 1916 will attempt to put over some sort of a gettogether. So all you New York and New Jersey men just bear that week-end in mind. A more detailed account will be given you next month.
Carl Holmes has returned to Cleveland to take over his duties at Hawken School after a very interesting summer at his boys' camp.
I know that you will all be as sorry as I am to hear that last summer Fred Bailey had a very unfortunate accident in his laundry. The latest information is that Fred in attempting to clean the roller and mangier machine in his plant caught his right hand and suffered a very painful injury.
The Boston group are looking forward to Mr. Filene's party next month. If any of you men have attended this party in the years gone by, I know that you will be on hand for this one. If you have been so unfortunate as not to have attended one, take a tip and be there this time.
What a lucky man this fellow Charlie Everett is. The price of cotton doubleda vacation spent partly in Hanover—Saratoga during the racing season—running into Dartmouth men at all spots—and Charlie manager of New Uses Section of Cotton Textile Institute, Inc., of New York.
Everett Humphreys Parker to Clare Gernon Davis on the sixth of September is news that I know all of you married men will appreciate, and you bachelors will say, "Another man gone wrong."
But as you will, it is a fact and we welcome the new addition to the class rolls of 1916, and remember, Mrs. Ev Parker, when the next reunion rolls around be sure and impress upon your lesser half that this reunion should be celebrated in exactly the same way as Ev celebrated the last one that he was at.
On June 28 the Boston group had a most enjoyable outing at Gloucesier. A fine sail around Cape Elizabeth—a shore dinner at Gloucester—a series of fish yarns, in which Bob Steinert was declared the winner though Gil Tapley was entitled to the prize. John McAuliffe in order not to be outdone brought a nice ten-pound fish to exhibit. Those present and accounted for were Story, Cutler, Fuller, Steinert, Hayden, Tapley, McAuliffe, Brown, Parker, Carleton, Soule, Lewis, Eigner, Hayward, Stiegler, and Little. And in looking over this list I would like to say to Larry Hayward that I am more than delighted to see him back interested in 1916 doings. I know of no one in the years past who was more interested in 1916 and Dartmouth than Larry, and to all of us it is a pleasure to see him renew this interest in such a definite manner.
Congratulations are in order for the Duff Lewises. A new daughter was born on June 5.
Down on the fashionable point of Cape Cod we found last summer Alec Dean staging a series of nine plays in the Dennis Play House. On his choice 172 performers were selected for the various parts. Alec, as you all know, is assistant professor of dramatics at Yale in that well-known town of New Haven.
Oh hum! but this was before the NRA.— Over in Nice a group of wealthy American residents of the Riviera, headed by that well-known classmate, Bruce Bundy, is reported interested in a scheme to found a colony in the Mediterranean as a refuge from the depreciation of the dollar. Among those said to have been approached are Mme. Jacques Balsan, the former Consuelo Vanderbilt, George Pierce Butler, Commodore Louis Beaumont, Mrs. Dorothy Erskine, and Frank J. Gould. And to think that we knew him when—
To Roger Evans and his assistants we all owe a very grateful vote of thanks for their efforts and results in the last Alumni Fund drive. A very creditable showing was made, due to their work and the co-operation of all you men who contributed during a time when cold cash was like that snowball that you all have so often heard of and probably referred to.
As you all know by this time, the ALUMNI MAGAZINE is the medium through which we attempt to keep you in touch with your former classmates, the goings on in Hanover, and the items of interest concerning the College. It is sent to you with the return by you of your class dues. It may also be obtained by the sending to Hanover the annual subscription rate for this magazine. It is your best and cheapest means to carry on your interest in that extremely interesting and progressive Alma Mater. So why not be certain that you will not miss a trick—send in to Bob Brown or to Hanover the necessary cash to carry on. As the NRA is interesting, so will be the progress of Dartmouth in this coming year.
