Class of 1911
Probably most classmates have already figured out that twenty-five years ago they were freshmen at Dartmouth College. Accordingly they have doubtlessly been much interested in the Twenty-five Year Ago Column, which is being so entertainingly conducted by Hap Hinman '10, where he has made frequent reference to 1911'ers. In this connection, if any of the class have recollections fit to print of the days of our freshman year, I would be very happy to receive such contributions for inclusion in this column.
The following changes in address have come to the Secretary's notice: Brownie Wilder's business headquarters are now 146 Summer St., Room 6a, Boston. He may also be addressed at 124 Hawthorne St., East Weymouth, Mass.
Slim Eaton's home address now reads 59 N. Washington St., Hinsdale, Ill.
Deak Trask kicks in with the information that his residence is on Hills Point Road, Westport, Conn.
Walt Gibson, our California expert accountant, has new offices on the 12 th floor, 621 S. Spring St., Los Angeles, Calif.
Lee McGonagle, Sarg's son, now a freshman at college, reports that Duke Dunning, formerly of Duluth, has been made district manager for the state of Minnesota of the General Electric Refrigerator sales, and is finding it necessary to move to St. Paul, where his future headquarters will be.
The following contribution comes in from Pat Partridge:
"I do not have an opportunity to seemany of the boys in the class, but managedto contact several at the Yale game, and atThanksgiving time had the pleasure ofhaving dinner one night with Dick Pauland his wife, Lucy, who, incidentally, hadnot changed a bit in twenty years, and theday before Thanksgiving I had the pleasure of getting Dick Whelden out of theWest Hartford 'hoose-gow,' where he wasdetained, I believe, for running over a cop,or some other minor infraction. By theway, I suppose you know that CharlieStebbins is again connected with the CrownCork and Seal Company and is located inNew York city, living out at Kew Gardens,I believe."
Buck Tyson recently gave an exhibition of his prowess as an expert in finance in talking to the graduate students of the Amos Tuck School.
The following is taken from a recent letter from Chuck Emerson, whom you will recall as the genial proprietor of the Maple Villa at Intervale, N. H.
"We have just had a house full of Appalachian Mountain Club members forfour days over the New Year's holiday. Wehave two other large organized parties andare working for others. I wish it werepossible to get in a bunch of the class fora week-end. I am sure they would have areal time."
This sounds like an interesting opportunity for an informal reunion. How's for somebody to organize the expedition? The S.O.S. asking for information on Murchie was received by Miss Ford of the Alumni Records Office, who reports that he is ill but living with his family at Calais, Me.
At a meeting in December of the Boston Life Underwriters Association Josh Clark was elected first vice-president.
I have no other news of Lin-Yi Ho except that he is no longer connected with the Tsing Hua College, but is now associated with the China Travel Service, headquarters at 114 Szechueng Road, Shanghai, China.
Recently one Ettoro Pelligrini of Newton was sentenced to state prison for six to twelve years. This probably doesn't interest many of you, but the following clipping from a recent issue of the Boston Herald will explain its significance:
"Pelligrini was charged with threatening injury to Leslie D. Hawkridge of 236Dudley Road, Newton, with intent to extort money from him.
"Inspectors Francis Feeley and PatrickJ. King testified for the government. Theysaid the complainants came to the Newtonpolice with letters in Italian that they hadreceived dated May 1. Translated, one ofthe letters read:
" 'Pray that you send $2000 without resistance before you will be visited by anaffair same as Lindbergh's that they kidnapped his son, only worse.
" 'Put it in an envelope at the cornerof Dudley road and Boylston St. (Newton),near the shanty, not later than May 4 at 7 o'clock.
" 'Do not fail and don't notify the policeor you will be worse than Lindbergh. Youwill go up in smoke and will steal the bestyou have. We are members of Al Capone& Co.'
"Inspector Feeley said the police advised the complainants to place envelopesin the shanty designated at 6 P.M. May 15.At that time Feeley and King lay hiddennear the scene and saw an automobile approach the spot and continue on. It soonreturned, however, and the officers arrestedPelligrini at gun-point. The police furthertestified that at the home of the defendantthey found stationery similar to that usedin the letters that had been sent out."
From the "squeaks" of Abe Winslow, the able secretary of the Northern California Alumni Association, comes the report that Wee Kimball while on a trip to the West attended an Association luncheon and talked on Dartmouth football, Wee having all the inside dope because of his membership in the Dartmouth Alumni Council.
