Class of 1926
Teddy and Jean Everett, ages three and one-half and two respectively, are seen above cultivating the well-known gypsophila cerasteroides and also the variety acutilifsolia so that they may present Pop Everett with a bouquet for becoming a member of the firm of Morrill & Everett. Doug terms them "a tough pair," but we are inclined to believe this is just an old time hockey player's quaint term of endearment.
Kate Salisbury Nigh presented herself on August 26, 1931, and still remains the one and only offspring of the big lumberman. We suggest her as a formidable mascot for the Indian team this fall, with a firm conviction that she would take the heart out of most any Yale, Harvard, or Princeton team. Kate reports that there is nothing much new out in California (how unusual). She sees Ritchie Smith and Don Hoffman quite often and sends the word along that Dave Rawson is a recent arrival, having become associated with Dick Townsend '23. Father Bill is with the Shevlin Pine Sales Company, Monadnock Building, San Francisco.
And in the next reading from west to east, you see Utzon of Briarnole, Bob and Corinne Forrest. The latter two are not blood relations of the former or did you gather that? but all thoroughbreds. Art these days is burning up shoe leather on behalf of the Scott Paper Company, and reports that Dutch Diehl has a new daughter.
Skipper Floyd-Jones and Marion have announced that first mate Thomas L. Floyd-Jones III sailed in on September 21, 1934, with an avoirdupois of 8 1/2 pounds, a hefty boy taking after the old man from the beginning. At least Jake Jacobus reports that father Tom continues to sail over a broader and broader beam.
We had the privilege last week of meeting Mr. and Mrs. Waggener of Dallas, Texas, Leslie's father and mother. I feel sure that most of us are aware of their great interest in Dartmouth and our class, which has been indicated not only in many gifts to the Alumni Fund but also in getting to know many 1926 boys. Knowing Les as so many of us did, I hope that many others will have the opportunity of meeting his father and mother. While older in years, we found them of our own age in viewpoint and congeniality. After a most delightful dinner and evening at the Music Hall we talked of Les and the many things of Dartmouth which hold us all together, and it was with a feeling of having met two real members of 1926 when we took our leave.
On Saturday, October 6, Robert Cleary and Mildred Welch of Montclair were married in St. Luke's Episcopal church, fake Jacobus was best man and Tom Floydjones was one of the ushers. Sid and Barbara Hayward drove down from Hanover for the event, while Les Talbot, George Scott, Charlie Singleton, Charlie Bishop, and yours truly were the local boys present. It was truly a beautiful wedding with a reception following at the Montclair Golf Club. The latest flash has it that Bob and Mildred are headed toward Hanover that Million Dollar Cleary has garnered himself a new name and henceforth will be known as "Roquefort E. Clammy," the name emanating from post-wedding festivities. Just to put it on record, may we add that Roquefort entertained the boys at a bachelor dinner prior to his marriage. We refer you to Bill Hughes to give you the final score of the battle.
And a new paragraph for Bill himself, for he is to wed Miss Palmer Atkinson of Montclair and Atlanta, Ga., on October 25. Bill will have a dinner for the boys on October 22 at the Dartmouth Club in New York, and we trust he will be in shape for the ceremony.
While on the subject, here's how Frosty Howland did it.
PRE-TROTH-PLIGHTING STAG POW-WOW
On account of as how our esteemed Mr. Foster Adams Howland is going forth into the land of Detroit to get unto himself a wife it has been decided that Mr. Howland's many male friends should foregather at the town pump or some other convenient location for a touch of conviviality.
This exclusive get-together will come in the form of a slight bottle shower (Editor's note: Said containers are for presenting, not mixing) in Mr. Howland's honor.
The location of this Pow Wow was originally intended to be on Deer Island, but there would be so many excellent swimmers among the invited, that it was feared that Shirley Gut would be too crowded. Then, too, a great many of the guests are timid about the effects of water.
etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., Don't bother to R. S. V. P.
Mr. and Mrs. Anthony Donald Bullock and Mr. and Mrs. Edward Charles Orr have issued invitations for the marriage of their sister Betty to James Edmond Traquair at the Seventh Presbyterian church in Cincinnati, Ohio, on October 17, 1934.
Arthur E. Stack Jr., son of Art and Elinor, arrived during the month of August. No details were enclosed, but we hope father, mother, and Art Jr. are doing well.
October 1, 1934."Dear Sid:
"Enclosed find check for the ALUMNI MAGAZINE. I'm sure your personal letterto '26ers will bring in many more subscriptions, just as it did mine.
"As for our tenth reunion, I think it agreat idea, everybody planning now to bethere. To be Sure, it's almost two yearsaway, but if the next two years pass as fastas the last eight have, we'll be back in Hanover again before we know it. Jean is veryenthusiastic about going, so needless to saywe'll be there.
"I expect to be going to a couple of gamesthis year, certainly Princeton, and I hopeto see you and a lot of other '26ers there.
"The last time I saw you I believe I wasin the insurance business. Then I had anopportunity to become an optician, and soI started in with my father-in-law. I likeit immensely, and if I do say so myself, Ican do a pretty fair job of fitting a pair ofglasses.
"Dartmouth is represented in the Intercollegiate Alumni Bowling League ofWashington again this year, with LarryVermillion, Page Worthington, EddieYates, Joe Story, Doc Easton, and myselfcomprising the team. We hope to go placesthis year, as we took two games from Harvard in the opening encounter last week.
"MART (C. MARTIN BRAND).

Last month we omitted the fact that Charlie Bishop was elected president of the Bond Club of New Jersey. Charles is one of the youngest men to hold this office in a great many years, and we can assure you after talking with the higher-ups that it is a signal honor.
