From A 1908 Mem Book
This snappy-looking group photograph was taken by the Langill Dartmouth Photo Rooms, Hanover, thirty years ago come next opportunity for Dartmouth to outwit Yale in the Bowl. This picture includes about all of the Big Shots of 1908 any panorama short of the Gettysburg cyclorama could encompass. Here they are, reading from left to right, first row to back: Former State's Attorney of Illinois, Bill Knight; Thad Lillard, deceased; Robert Billings Rugg, the 1908 bank president of Newtonville, Mass.; Tat (Transcontinental Air Express will do) Tatterson of Portland, Me., investment man, both paper and pasteboards; Florence Joseph McAuliffe, back on West Bth St., New York, a sculptor who has much to do with Mrs. Harry Payne (Gertrude Vanderbilt) Whitney's artistic productions; Bill Wallace Lee Jr., who resides at No. 29 Walker Ave., Saylesville, R. 1.; Henry Ware Lyon of Lyonsden, Paris, Me., the navigator of the Southern Cross on its famed dash from California to Australian via Samoa and way stations; David Robert Blanpied of St. Paul Academy, St. Paul, Minn.; John Alexander Clark, Wall Street and Wood, Struthers & Co.; Harold Hanson Snow, 16 Cleveland Ave., Braintree, Mass.; Joseph Leland, "Kid" Richardson, Spring Arcade Building, Los Angeles, Calif.; Stanley Goodard Balcom, R. H. White Co., Boston; Allan Moore Perkins, former bank president who now rehabilitates large manufacturing concerns; lives at Watertown, N. Y., but his mail is taken up regularly from Box 283, Greenwich, Conn.; Next one is a sticker, might be Jesse Harding, only he didn't play on the team; Royal Parkinson Cutter, Philip Laforrest "Long Tommy" Thompson of the Hastings Pavement Co., 25 Broad St., New York; Malcolm "Mike" Stearns, the bozo who hung a couple of good ones on the beezer of one Wallis Angus McCoy besides helping mightily in putting over the 10 to 7 victory achieved by the squad above pictured over the Class of 1907 (See score printed on the ball). James Sullivan Proctor, the manager, died last summer. In the extreme rear row, how such front-line men got there we don't know, is Howard Wyman Cowee, the Worcester lawyer who is president of the Chamber of Commerce down thataway; John Holmes "Rosy" Hinman, the only 'oBer with three boys in Dartmouth and a pretty good record for even a Harvard man; Jefferson LeMoyne DeAngelis, the Utica ex-district attorney snapped the year before the Hanover Inn barbershop tried to save his hair by removing it entirely. Seven of the group Cowee, Hinman, DeAngelis, Stearns, Clark, Perkins and Knight attended the 25th last June.
