Class of 1906
Last month I told you that Art Libby was married, but I was a little sketchy as to details. I have recently received a clipping from a Norwich, Conn., newspaper which gives a full account of the wedding, as follows:
"Judge Arthur F. Libby of this city andMiss Margaret Taylor Sherwood of NewYork City were united in marriage Monday afternoon, August i}, at the summercottage of the bride's mother, Mrs. M.Roberts Sherwood, at Squirrel Island, Me.
"Miss Sherwood attended Finch Schoolin New York and graduated from SmithCollege, with the degree of Bachelor ofArts, in the class of 1919, and at the sametime, on account of scholastic standing became a member of the Phi Beta Kappa society. The following year Miss Sherwoodstudied at Versailles Lycee on a scholarshipfrom Smith College. She received the degree of Master of Arts from Columbia University in 1923, and since that time hasbeen teaching history at Spence in NewYork.
"Judge Libby graduated from DartmouthCollege, with the degree of Bachelor ofArts in the class of 1906. He subsequentlytaught at Montclair Academy at Montclair, N. J., and graduated from HarvardLaw School in the class of 1913 with thedegree of Bachelor of Laws.
"They were married by the Rev. Dr.Harry Emerson Fosdick, minister at theRiverside church, New York City."
Maynor Brock's daughter, Madalyne Bailey Brock, was graduated from the Barstow School for Girls in Kansas City in June.
Ned French has put another railroad in his pocket this summer. Already president of the Boston and Maine and Maine Central railroads, he has been elected president of the New York, New Haven, and Hartford road.
The Maplewood Congregational church of Maiden, Mass., of which Ray Butterfield is pastor, celebrated its sixtieth anniversary on June 10. On that occasion a pageant entitled "Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow," and written by Ray and Mrs. Butterfield, was presented in the church.
While we are speaking, of church anniversaries, I may as well tell you that on August 27 I delivered the "Centennial Address" on the one hundredth anniversary of the dedication of the present meetinghouse of the Congregational church of Henniker, N. H.
Elon Pratt is president of the New York Sales Managers' Club. Elon was in Hanover at the opening of College, helping a young cousin from La Jolla, Calif., David Balmer, get started in the freshman class.
There are five sons of 1906 in the freshman class at Dartmouth this fall: Robert A. Jones, Charles T. Main 2d, Samuel F. Main, Edward B. Meservey, and William S. Patten.
Converse and Grace Chellis spent the summer in California, and found much enjoyment in revisiting the scenes of their early married days. This was the first time that they had been back to the West Coast for twenty years.
FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH
Bill Page has been playing baseball again this summer in Harrisburg, in odd hours after work. Pretty good, isn't it, for a man almost thirty years out of college? Bill writes that his son, William Jr., who graduated at Dartmouth in 1933, is now in the employ of an engineering company in Philadelphia, and that his second son, John, is planning to enter Dartmouth a year from this fall.
Nat Leverone ran across Happy Wayman one day this summer, and says that Hap has the agency in Chicago for a patented electrical switch, out of which he hopes to make a lot of money. Here's hoping he does.
Bill Gleason is back in Chicago once more from Texas, where he had been district sales manager for Nu-Enamel. He is now a salesman for United Vineyards Association, 160 East Illinois St., a firm that sells wine.
Arthur Kelley, who, you will remember, is a teacher in St. Louis, was in Hanover one day, but both Harold Rugg and I missed seeing him. He left a note on Harold s desk, saying that he was spending the summer in the White Mountains with his wife and two sons "who hope to enter Dartmouth later."
Under date of September 13, I have this interesting note from Nat Leverone: "Yesterday I had one of the most interestingvisits I have had with a Dartmouth man inmany years, and incidentally he is the onlyman in our class, I believe, I haven't talked
with since freshman year. You may recallAlan Parrish, who came from Paris, Ill.,and who was a very outstanding trackathlete freshman year. He says he has beenalmost out of touch with Dartmouth eversince he dropped out, but he seemed tohave the enthusiasm that is characteristicof almost every Dartmouth man. We hada fine chat recalling many mutual friendswhom he had not seen since he left college.I tried to get Alan to promise definitelythat he would come back to the next reunion, and while he did not do it, he expressed himself as desiring to go, and Iam sure he will make the trip.
"As far as he is concerned personally, hehas been quite an outstanding contractorin this state, and at the present time, whilethe contracting business is virtually out ofexistence, he has the extremely importantposition of having charge of the codes forfour branches of the steel business. He expects to be in Chicago quite often duringthe next year, but his home continues tobe Paris, Ill."
Secretary, Hanover, N. H.
