Class of 1911
Fall football and the new coaching staff, in spite of the rainy weather, seem to have incited the football experts and fans of the class to return to Hanover in larger numbers than recently. The two first games found the Adamses, Persons, Jordans, Agrys, Sterlings, Pauls, Butlers, Chamberlains, Sandersons, and Walt Reilly and Les Hawkridge with their offspring, sitting through the rain at Memorial Field.
Add to 1911 sons in the freshman class John R. Scotford Jr. and John B. Uline.
A letter from Stan Rockwood says, "I amteaching French and Spanish at ArkansasCollege, Batesville, Ark." Stan has acquired the title of professor of French and Spanish.
Pete Vehmeyer has been made manager of the Detroit plant of the Joseph T. Ryerson & Son, Inc., at 1600 E. Euclid Ave., Detroit, Mich. Pete is living at 616 Puriton Ave., Birmingham, Mich.
The Secretary is pleased to report that there have been at least two bites to his letter regarding the MAGAZINE. One was from Russ Patterson, who was enclosing his $3.00. Also Elt Norris sent in a postcard to say that he likewise was interested to get the MAGAZINE. Elt, as you know, is farming it in Chagrin Falls, Ohio, and has promised to give us more dope about the life of a farmer for the next issue.
Clarence L. Young continues to honor Lawrence, Mass., by remaining one of its citizens, only he has moved to 61 Arlington St.
Likewise another standpatter for the old town is Frank (Robbie) Robinson, who sticks by Belmont, now living at 11 Orchard St. You probably know Robbie's health has not been very good lately and that he has had to take it easy.
Word from Rick Castle is to the effect that he still is engaged in cost accounting work in Denver, Colo., where he resides at 1331 Ogden St.
Ray Taylor was the subject of a special issue of "Squeaks from the Golden Gate," where apparently he was throwing a party for the Dartmouth Association of Northern California. The bulletin shows a drawing of the ranch, of the Napa River, Bale Lane, etc., and full instructions on how to arrive at the venison barbecue. Old clothes, baseball games, and horseshoe pitching were elaborately advertised as attractions.
It seems that some of the class, now that they have arrived at conservative middle age, are getting into politics. Dick Paul is Republican nominee for the Massachusetts House of Representatives from the wellknown town of Canton. Bob Sanderson has promised Republicans of Pittsfield, N. H., that he will represent their interests faithfully and conscientiously in the next session of the New Hampshire legislature.
Burt Cooper outdistanced his four Republican competitors for the office of councillor in the 4th Councillor District of New Hampshire. The prediction is that he will win the election handily in November. Since there are but five councillors, and since they have veto power over practically all of the Governor's action, Burt is likely to be in the thick of things for the next two years.
Incidentally, Burt has made a fine reputation as a result of his interest in crime prevention in the state. The following paragraphs are taken from an article by Tom Dreier, that notable New Hampshire writer who contributes a column each week to the New Hampshire papers.
"Burt Cooper is giving his time andenergy to this splendid work. His talksthroughout the state have helped manypersons to an understanding of the modernparole system. He sees clearly that punishing offenders is not of first importance.What does matter is saving people, andmaking useful citizens of them.
"To men like this long-visioned, likeable Rochester attorney, that quotation ofEmerson's means much: 'The greatest institution in the world for splendor, forextent, is the upbuilding of a man.'"
President Bill Hart and wife Louise, of the Crown Cork & Seal Co. of Canada, appeared in Hanover for the first time in three years for the Vermont football game. Bill has figured it out, however, that he must attend a directors' meeting in New York the week-end of the Princeton game. Bill and Louise both seem to have retained their youthful appearance, although Louise has had a hard year since some ungallant youth backed a car over her, causing severe injuries, including a broken pelvis bone. However, she seems to have recovered and to be as full of pep as usual.
Secretary, Hanover, N. H.
