Class of 1921
Bill Embree writes from Chicago that the crowd there had a look at the Tenth Reunion movies during December. Bill had just been on a duck-hunting trip, and he arranged a dinner at the Chicago Athletic Association to precede the showing of the film and he shared with the rest of the boys the wild fowl which his good marksmanship had brought down.
Those out were Dick Hart, Ken Thomas, Val Grundman, Ned Price, Harry Mosser, Ed Luedke, Al Laffey, John Hasbrook, and Bill. In addition Frank Coffin '24, who had just returned to Chicago after a visit to Hanover where he had made some movies of the latest Dartmouth events, was also present at the dinner, and his films were shown along with those displaying the frolicking of Dartmouth's greatest class.
Several days after the January notes had been mailed, we found Bill's earlier letter, in which he told of the fall dinner of the Chicago crowd. It seems that Jack Hubbell was in the Windy City at the time, so he was among those present along with Bill, Ken Thomas, Ned Price, Dick Hart, Al Laffey and Ed Luedke. After a long discussion of the Dartmouth football season, the meeting was rounded off with a trip to a movie house where a film of the Hollywood, not Hanover, variety was viewed. Incidentally Bill mentions in this letter that Dick Hart was recently married, that is, it was "recently" on November 23, when Bill wrote the erstwhile misplaced letter.
Bill Alley took his wife and son out to Minneapolis from New York for Christmas, and he reports seeing a couple of the '21 delegation in the Twin Cities. While in Minneapolis, he called on Dewey Gruenhagen, hagen, who is manager of the corporate bond department of the Bancnorthwest Corp. and making a fine reputation for himself. Then Bill dropped over to St. Paul and dropped in on "Red" Ege, who is still lawyering with Secretary Kellog's firm, and according to all the dope in Minneapolis's greatest rival is fulfilling the promise he gave when he was one of the leaders of his class in Harvard Law School. He confessed to Bill that he was still a bachelor. "Red" reported that Pick Ankeny had deserted the bond game to help his brother-in-law manage the estate of Pick's late father-in-law.
Wade Werden has moved from Chicago to New York, and is now associated with the J. Walter Thompson Co., the advertising firm, at 420 Lexington Ave.
Also in the advertising game in New York is Lyman Worthington, who helps get the ads which appear in the DailyNews.
The Alumni Records Office has sent us a new set of addresses for Tom Cleveland as follows: business, 1066 Center St., Newton Center, Mass.; home, 21 Rice St., Newton Center. Tom is still a real estate broker in that prominent Boston suburb.
From Hanover also comes the information that Connie Keyes is now to be located at 141 South Central Ave., Wollaston, Mass. The last time we heard from Connie he was in the banking game in London. Whether his return to America is permanent or just temporary, this department knows not, but will aim to find out.
Charlie Stickney is now living at Barrington, R. I., a suburb of Providence, and he reports having seen both Hal Breckenridge and Hal Smith in the Rhode Island capital.
Ort Hicks says he ran into Dink Miller recently, when the rapidly rising Jamaica, L. I., lawyer was over in Manhattan, and that Dink looked both well and successful.
Speaking of Ort, he and Harry Chamberlaine and Jack Hubbell are among the mainstays of the Dartmouth Club team which has made its debut in the Metropolitan Squash Racquets League this winter.
And that, my good comrades, rings down the curtain, for there just "ain't no more." To which we might add that any little contributions in the way of news, alleged or actual, will be most gratefully received.
Secretary, 7 Lotus Road, New Rochelle, N. Y
