Class of 1906
When I listed in the March number of the MAGAZINE the sons of 1906 who are now enrolled at Tabor Academy, I omitted the names of Charlie Main's boys, Charles T. 2d and Samuel F., who are both there in preparation for entrance to Dartmouth a year from this September. My omission was due to the fact that the Tabor instructor, Laurence Leavitt '25, who kindly sent me the roster, did not know that Charlie really belongs to 1906, not to 1907.
Elon Pratt sent me the other day a water-stained copy of that precious booklet, the 1906 Class Day Book, which he had unearthed somewhere. I have gone over those long-forgotten pages with much interest, before placing this valuable acquisition in the class files, and I think that some month when news is scarce I shall review it for you.
Gott Brooks has burst into the ranks of 1906 authors. I am in receipt of two monographs by him, reprinted from five numbers of The Photo-Engravers' Bulletin, entitled "Some Facts about Glue-Top," and "Glue-Top on Zinc Plates." I have tried to read them, but they are too technical to mean anything to a mere English professor.
A letter from Dan Hatch the other day contains no news that I can pass on except this interesting statement: "Like the situation in your country, Canada is having herown troubles. While we do not recognizeup here that there is a depression on, stillat the same time we must admit that this isone of the worst booms that we ever had."
At the annual banquet of the Dartmouth Quting Club, held on March 29, announcement was made of the appointment of Ben Twiss '34 as managing director of the winter sports department of the Outing Club. This appointment makes him automatically a member of the executive council of the club. Ben has been most active in the affairs of the club throughout his college course. Last summer he served as one of the able and hard-worked caretakers of the club house on the top of Mt. Moosilauke, and this year he has been prominent in directing the winter sports activities and in leading overnight mountain-climbing expeditions. All 1906 men will congratulate him on the honor that now crowns his untiring work.
At the children's carnival held in Hanover in February, the largest number of points won in winter sports competition went to Mary Helen Beetle, Ralph's youngest daughter. This is the first year that top place has been won by a girl, by which you may know that Mary Helen is some skier.
The Department of Education of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in its announcement of its University Extension Summer Courses to be given July 6 to August 2 gives prominence to a course on "Adult Education" by E. Everett Clark, supervisor in the Massachusetts division of university extension.
We hear but too rarely about the environment of our classmates in the Far West, but the New York papers of March 25 carried as a society item an account of the wedding of Mrs. Violet Imbrie and James McLean of New York at the Drowsy Pines estate of Mr. and Mrs. Clyde D. Souter in Reno, Nev.
Secretary, Hanover, N. H.
