Class of 1894
Sunday, April 2, the Claremont delegation had the unexpected pleasure of wayside interviews with Mr. and Mrs. Arthur A. Adams and Mr. and Mrs. F. P. Claggett, who were motoring through the town.
SOME OF THE NOTABLE ITEMS
The February issue of "Squeaks," which is the bulletin issued by the enterprising secretary of the Dartmouth Alumni Association of Northern California, contains the following:
"Major Elmer S. Tenney '94 arrived inSan Francisco, February 3, for two days ofvisiting. Dropped into Jim Townsend's('94) office and reported on his activitiessince leaving San Francisco. Two years atFort Shafter, Honolulu, a transfer East toa temporary two months in New York, thento Washington, D. C., in the position heldbefore going to the Islands. His youngestson, Bob, is a senior at Stanford, planningon a legal career. His oldest son, Paul, isstudying at George Washington Universityin Washington, D. C. The Major is in goodhealth, looking forward to September,1934, when he will retire and make SanFrancisco his home."
It also contains the announcement that Jimmy Townsend's son, Dick (sometimes known as J. Richard Townsend '23), formerly associated with McCutcheon, Olney, Mannon, & Green, announces the opening of offices for the general practice of law, including commerce and public utility law, February 15, 1933, Douglass 3566. As "Squeaks" says: "We all wishDich the big success due him''—being the son of his father.
Paul Jenks is feeling quite set up over the ratings and achievements of the boys from the Flushing High School who were at Dartmouth the last semester. At Secretary Merrill's request he sends the details, which show that three of the men had ratings of 3.9, 3.8, and 3.6 respectively. Three others had ratings of 2.8, 2.8, and 2.6 respectively. One boy had such a handicap from infantile paralysis that when accepted for Dartmouth it was understood that if he kept his head above water and finally graduated it would be an honorable achievement. The average of the delegation was over 3.0. Excluding the handicapped boy, the average was exactly the requirement for Phi Beta Kappa, 3.25. One boy took the Woodbury prize of $125, given the candidate most promising of success in the legal profession (though his major was English). Another got a fellowship and returns as instructor in comparative zoology. The third received the Smith award of $500. The one whose rating was 2.6 made the Glee Club and took the spring trip with the Musical Clubs. Paul says he was born in Italy and speaks of him as an "incipient Toscanini!"
