Class of 1926
I am always pleased to receive a letterfrom you, even though it contains a politereminder that it is my turn to open up andtell you a few things.
News is scarce up this neck of the woods.I can hardly say we are snowed in, however,since snow has been noticeable by its absence. A mutual friend I met yesterday onthe street told me Tom Farwell's hair isturning grey trying to think of a way torun off his Woodsville Winter Carnivalwithout any snow. They now plan to runoff the ski-jump on roller skates. If any ofthe boys have any other bright ideas Ithink Tom would welcome them.
Len Hadley recently swelled Concord's1926 population to two when he startedwork for the state highway department. Hehas threatened to bring up his banjo, butI haven't seen it yet.
Harry Weare was in town for a few minutes the other day. He has undertaken anew job and is going to help build thenew dam in Enfield, Mass. By the way, he'spretty proud of his io-month-old half-back.
I was certainly sorry to miss a recentcall from that old, Javanese, Bill Uehlein.He evidently stopped in the office a shortti7ne ago and left a note for me. It took metwo days to figure out the signature. Billnever did write very well, and now withthat East Indian slant he uses it is practically illegible.
That's about all the news I have, Brant,unless I tell you about my remarkablesquash and badminton games. I am stilluntamed by any '26er at either game, andhave a chip on my shoulder all the time. Ofcourse I told you that Len Hadley was theonly other classmate in town, and hedoesn't play.
Our squash team will play the Dartmouth faculty a week from Saturday, andwe anticipate a good time.
When I was in Hanover last fall, MorryStorer, Dick Lattimore, Sid Hayward, andI had a great doubles match.
This week-end our local hockey teamplays at a winter carnival in North Conway. I am in great shape for hockey, havingplayed twice so far this year. One moregame will make it a great season.
Let me hear from you when you havecaught up on your correspondence withthe other six hundred.

News of weddings continues to decrease the rank of the bachelors. On November 24, 1932, Frederic P. (Pete) Barnes married Miss Margaret Louise Ott, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Mohr Ott, at the First Christian church, Independence, Mo.
It appears that Joe Batchelder has definitely gone in for the domestic doubles championship, for on January 14 Mr. and Mrs. Charles Mayson Grist announced the marriage of their daughter, Miss Margaret Elizabeth March, to our golf wizard. The wedding was celebrated at St. Thomas' church in New York city. Joe and Margaret will be at home after February first at 4 Crawford St., Cambridge, Mass.
We owe Don Robinson an apology for our failure to include in the January notes the announcement of his marriage to Margaret Haddock Martin, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Smith Martin, on the 34th of November, 1932, at Rahway, N. J.
The great Marsans breezed in from the icy north during the past month looking every bit the part of a Fifth Avenue New Yorker rather than a bearded trapper, but we were informed, verily believe, and therefore charge that he spent the winter in Maine, raising a House of David beard, and through this medium captured deer from ambush. After a short stay in the city, during which time we understand he was offered a job in theatrical work, Tiny barged back to the woods, and will no doubt appear sometime in May ready for the maypole party.
A few weeks ago a number of '26ers, including George Scott, Bob Cleary, Charlie Singleton, Chuck Webster, Tom Floyd- Jones, Charlie Bishop, Russ Webster, and yours truly gathered at the Dartmouth Club in New York to discuss plans for a 1926 class dinner. When all was said and done, George Scott was left in charge to make all arrangements, and the date of March 17 set for the affair. You will no doubt hear more about it direct from the committee, but keep the date open, for there are several worth-while surprises in store.
At said time and place, who should arrive from Chicago but Gib Robinson? Gib has recently been promoted from managing the Evanston store of Marshall Field to, we trust, a more lucrative position in Chicago. After a week in the big city, Gib will return to the loop, where he reports all '26ers (in good condition.
Tub Weymouth is still with the S. D. Warren Co. of Boston, but reports a new residence at 16 Vick Park Ave., Rochester, N. Y.
Holt McAloney, who wrote the master epistle for the Fifth Year Report, has recently located at 602 Park Terrace. Colo- rado Springs, Colo.
Tom Herlihy Jr. has migrated from law school in Boston, and we assume his new office at 609 Citizens Bank Building, Wilmington, Del., is where the new shingle is hanging.
Don Bennett has left the Atlantic seaboard for the West at Equitable Life Security Bldg., Denver, Colo. How's for some news on the trip, Don?
Charlie McKenna and wife are still wintering in Florida. The latest address is 1311 So. Atlantic Ave., Beach, Fla.
We promised in an earlier issue more dope on Bobo Williams' new venture into the suit and cloak business. Here it is. "Louis Pelletier Jr., Dartmouth '28, Robert B. Williams, Dartmouth '26, and Robeft Landon, Yale '28, have assumed the direction of Caldwell, Needham, & Co., customer tailors, at 7 West 45th St., New York city."
Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Wells Weeks announce the arrival of Kenneth Jr. on Monday, January 30, 1933, at the Hartford Hospital. Kenneth Jr. weighed 8 pounds and 10 ounces.
Secretary, 1060 Broad St., Newark, N. J. January 26, 1933-
