Class of 1910

Thanks to some good Tenner whose name was not attached thereto we received a copy of "Dartmouth Diddings" of the Chicago Alumni Association, edited by none other than Jack Childs '09 ... . from it we learn that "Harry Hunter gotback a couple of weeks ago from a tour ofthe great Northwest with his 5 kids in atrailer. Russ Palmer was in N. Y. about5 weeks on business but he had a lotta fun.Then he's been up to Minneapolis tryingto sell Runt Martin '07 some display signsfor Munsingwear. Happy Goodere wasEast for a week. He took the boy along.Also his autymobile. Whit Eastman ofMilwaukee, who's counsellor at large (heain't been caught yet), in a few handpicked words extended greetings to entering freshmen. He said indeed he was happyto report that Wisconsin was doing hershare in sending worthy guys to Hanover.In the audience were Howard Fogg andBrainy Bill Williams, both '10, whose boys,Howard and Lewis, entered, this fall. Othersons that crashed the gates were those of. . . . Shorty Worcester."

Jack, and there's only one of his kind in captivity, gets out a darn fine bulletin, and we hope to heck that some of you Chicago guys keep us supplied with it .... Jack's a friend of 1910 .... read this, "Cap Hedges '10 of Cedar Rapidssays 'I could not be without the DartmouthDiddings. It is the one way I have of keeping track of you city fellers'" . Jack obviously associates "Cap" with 1910, where he belonged before 1911 did some proselyting .... young Howard Fogg has entered Jacko competition with Art candidates at Hanover .... Charlie Libbey's son, Harrison, now a Dartmouth senior, continues his theatrical activities as a member of "Yellow Jack" cast this fall .... Ed Loring is a friend of mine for life .... thoughtfully he sent me a page from September Construction Methods, telling about the two widely-publicised "Seaplane Ramps" that have been anchored in New York's East River (one at foot of Wall St. and the other at foot of East 31st) so that citizens of Long Island's communities can commute daily by plane to and from their work .... regular passenger service .... none other than our own Keith Pevear was consulting engineer for United Dry Docks, Inc., which donated the plans to the city .... Keith gave his services as supervisor of construction .... the ramps are interesting things of mechanical construction, having large buoyancy tanks, plane turntable, and weight of 168 tons .... in a picture of the launching you can see Keith riding a ramp down the ways .... Ed also sent us "Some IndianEvents of New England," published by the State Street Trust Co. of Boston .... we are not advertising (at least, not getting paid for it) but we do suggest that any of you interested in reading a good story about Dartmouth's founding, write to the bank for a copy .... if you can't get one that way, try Ed ... . Mike Elliott, Univ. of Minnesota's leading psychology professor, is back on his job again after a sabbatical year around the Mediterranean, Tyrol, and Sicily, "a very quiet year undisturbed by dictators or depression. Idon't see how the rest of you get alongwithout a 'Sunday year,' i.e., one year inseven." .... we think that you are right, Mike .... our own "sabbatical" has been stretched into two, and in all probability will be well along into its third year before it ends .... and it is by no means a class record .... some men need a year off as a respite from their mental and physical load .... others get it whether or not they want it ... . little in life works out according to schedule and planning .... the important thing is to maintain your perspective .... which can be done.

Mike and psychology recall to our mind a lecture up in A Dartmouth one afternoon when our professor, who ordinarily impressed his charm on everyone, startled his psychology class as he mounted the platform, "I am glad that I am up herewhere I can look at your heads. Some ofthem need looking into." .... no accolades were bestowed that P. M Chan Baxter way out in Tacoma says that the ALUMNI MAGAZINE and the Troubadour, published by N. H. State Publicity Bureau (Don Xuttle 'oo), "make me hopethat fate may have it iti store for me tolive in New England again. This summerwe had a cabin in Vachon Island (Sec'y'snote: it might be Boston Harbor for allwe know .... his scrawl is just 50% worse than Pres. Pineo's .... typewritersalesmen, please note) . ... a 45 min.run in a small boat, no worse than working in N. Y. and commuting from theJersey side .... would like to go Eastto the Council meeting this fall, but cannot, as I have hopes of going East to our25th in June." Other Tenners who should be with us are Barristers Charlie Noone of Chattanooga and A1 Meehan of Stuttgart, Arkansas .... Charlie (who lost $100,000 through a banking connection) philosophizes, "There isn't any sense incrying over spilled milk. We've got to getup and meet the issues again. No matterwhat confronts a fellow, if he has theproper kind of material in him, he'll putforth every effort to overcome the obstacles. Life at times seems rather difficult,but when you look about, your own grievances, when compared with others, sinkinto insignificance." .... from time to time we've said considerable about 1910's educators but we never said much about our female portion of that group .... we have one in Boston who does a swell job as head of the Garland School, well known for its finishing and secretarial courses . . • • Mrs. Gladys Beckett Jones (Mrs. "Fielder" to you) .... Dave Johnson, wise bird in his reminiscences, muses, "I am sorry thatGeorge Ray Wicker is not alive. How Iwould have loved in the last year or soto sneak into his office and watch him takea giant inhale from one of those halfsmoked cigars that he always had lyingaround, and hear what he had to say aboutthe 'Great Experience,' as you put it inthe last edition of the MAGAZINE." . . . . Les Wiggin, who is breaking up his old home in Melrose, has sent us some interesting relics of old days .... one was the yells that went with the "wagons" that took us to Norwich one reunion; rest of it better left unsaid .... Conn, has 19 Tenners; N. H. 18; Calif. 15; N. J. 13 .... it's about time we heard something from our railroadeers, Mac Kendall, Lefty West, and Nate Sherman .... Art Bucknam, Waterbury, Conn., schoolmaster, attended Maine game in Hanover, first visit there since fall of 1910 .... that augurs great for the 25th in June, and we just opine there'll be more than one absentee who'll be limberin' up with bear's grease this winter to make the trip a few months hence .... Billy Williams (John Child's "Brainy") says, "Tenners will let nothingprevent their presence on this, the Best ofAll Peerades." .... Gay Gleason, Bucky Allen, and Ralph Paine also attended Maine game .... the Harvard game informal dinner at the University Club pulled Pres. Pineo Jackson, Clarke Tobin, John VanderPyl, Joe Kinney, and Micky Holmes from N. Y. and N. J.; Jack Dingle from Chicago; Walter Norton from Naugatuck; Fletch Burton from Providence; Bones Jones, Irv Jewett, Bunny Armstrong, Jim MacPherson, Heinie Hyde, Bucky Allen, Gay Gleason, Jos. Downey, Albert Ferguson, Charlie Fay, Inky Taylor, and Earle Pierce from Boston .... one of our reporters writes, "Just a fine, quietbeef . ... no drunks at all." .... another appreciated commentator, Leatherman E. Pierce, says, "Tobe has been watching his diet, has reduced to 237 lbs. wringing wet. I used to wrestle that baby, butwould hate to meet him in the dark now....he looks like the back of a hack."....this "25th in June" must be clicking ....P. Albert, hirer of school-marms, in his first letter to a class secretary since 62, pens with reasonable (just reasonable) legibility, "I sure do envy you the fallseason in New Hampshire and Vermont.Some day it is my ambition to land inHanover about October Ist and stay thereuntil Thanksgiving .... wonderful tocontemplate, anyhow. Shorty Worcesterand I lived side by side at Lake Genevathis summer. We spent pleasant week-endswith Don Bryant and Mun Cole. LesWiggin stopped off a day or so" .... this Pres. Pineo of ours has been holding out on me .... if it weren't for good 01' Jess Wilson, Boston insurancer born in Concord, N. H., you'd never know that October Insurance Index carried a

full roto page picture of our sky-high official .... darn good picture labeled "Brilliant .... Harold P. Jackson . . . .early in life Harold P. Jackson learnedthat success awaited one who mastered thejob at hand." .... but here's some more of that doggone proselyting that all us good colleges are trying to stop . . . . "Graduated from Dartmouth in 1911" .... that was a body wallop .... then "World War," "France with Rainbow Division" "1926 elected president and generalmanager of the Bankers Indemnity"hastraveled a long way on the road to success.In him the Bankers Indemnity has abrilliant leader" .... doggone, I'm dizzy from writing about that guy .... but it's deserved even if we can't read his writin' after it gets cold .... this same N. H. born J. Wilson gets under our skin with,"As we journey along our several highways, some on the heights, somein the narrower, more obscure paths, Iwonder if there will be found any morepleasant crossroads than await us at Hanover in June, 1935" .... we'll all sure be there .... Rollie Woodworth and wife motored from Barre down to the Dartmouth victory in the Stadium .... Juddy can use a few checks for dues .... address Box 2624, Lakewood, Ohio .... if anyone sees red-headed ex-newsman Dick Carpenter, tell him to write me another chapter of his "Undergraduate Epistles" .... someone will probably see "T. T." Huntington at the Cornell game .... he generally leaves his medico practice long enough to take in the game .... "Beezle" Parker's new schoolhouse in Hanover looks great .... you'll spot it coming in on the Leb road .... a last minute despatch states that among the Tenners seen at Harvard game were B. Armstrong; E. Pierce; Nort Cushman; J. Warren; the Jones boys, Bones and Fielder; good old Type Hitchcock; R. Gorton; J. Dingle; E. Hiestand; P. Forristall; C. Fay; Ob Coleman; Liz Prescott; Dave Johnson; Slip Powers; A. Lord .... good time had by all ... . we're writing this in late October as we are about to leave Barre for another winter in Florida .... will advise address as soon as we get settled .... in meantime, send all mail to Barre for forwarding .... if we can travel by auto a bit later, we'd sure Tike to look up Dr. Harold Winchester, a well-known doctor in Dunedin on the west coast .... we're going by boat from N. Y. to Miami .... let us take this opportunity to wish you and yours a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year .... may light and cheerfulness be yours .... mellowing years give us deeper human understanding and a greater appreciation of friendships, none of which have ever surpassed those of our college years .... life fortified by friendships can never be empty.
