Class of 1926
3 No. Arlington Ave., East Orange, N. J.
Your Secretary is no doubt on the spot a load of postals sent requesting pictures for the all-1926 children's contestand now we are informed that the finances of the ALUMNI MAGAZINE are such that cuts costing four berries each must be eliminated. However, I'll venture to send along those pictures which have been received, and if they're not in print all fond mothers and fathers may complain to the editor.
SOME OTHER TIME, HAL!
Hal Marshall has two boys and a girl. Baby Joan, aged four months, must be the image of Marion—at any rate if her picture isn't printed you should know she looks like a great possibility for taking honors at most any Carnival. Hal Jr. and Peter, six and three and one-half, respectively, are also improvements on the old man and likely looking prospects for a victory over Yale about 1951.
Dutch Hall, whose stationery shows red paint pouring out of a can—presumably for the rest of us to make out our income tax return—is treasurer of the Boston Varnish Company, and encloses a picture of three bouncing children with the following message. "On the left is Harry 3d,six years old, then Marilyn, two years,and David, aged 5. Have just moved into aswell new home at 56 Larchmont Road,Melrose, Mass., so you might make thechange on your records. It won't be longuntil the Tenth rolls around, and am looking forward to seeing all the old gangagain." Dutch isn't telling much about the children, but we have inside information that Harry Jr. is secretly working on a varnish remover to compete with Dutch for that last licking he handed out.
Nor has Graham Ford been losing time. He sends along a snap of Barbara and Bruce, six and four years. His stationery has a notation, "We do our part," and then adds, "The buy word for four generations." Figure it out yourself, but maybe it referred to Richardson & Boynton Company.
Wee McClintock, now known as the Reverend at St. Paul's rectory in Lancaster, N. H., contributes two very good pictures of Barbara Jean, aged three, and Rithard Jr., seven months. We haven't seen Wee since our Third Reunion, but he'll be there at the Tenth and will once more challenge any one man of any one class to a class rush—and that's something for a minister.
We have to report that Bill Hughes and Miss Palmer Atkinson were married in New York City on October 25. Tom FlovdJones, Clarence McDavitt, and Jake Jacobus assisted men of other Dartmouth classes in ushering. A delightful reception was given by Mr. and Mrs. Ulric Atkinson at the London Towers. Bill, having made connections in the Hub City, will take his bride to Boston.
Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Ralph Hamilton-Dagg announced the marriage of their daughter, Lillian Hamilton-Dagg Quin to Samuel Holt McAloney on Friday, November a, at New York City.
Tommie and Carolyn Thompson of Scarsdale, N. Y., announced the arrival of Douglas Ciishman Thompson at the Doctor's Hospital, New York, on September 18, 1934.
The Yale game drew its victims from 1926, and among others we either saw or received news of were Harry and Mary Fisher, Dick Sagendorp, Bob Weil, Bob Minton, Clarence Brazil, Courtney Brown, Bob Cleary, Tom Floyd-Jones, Charlie Bishop, Jack Tarr, Hub Harwood, Ed Fowler, Sid Hayward and George Peirce. The last named informed us of two additions to the family.
Traug Richter of 2513 Ripley St., Davenport, lowa, sends word along. "Since editors of class news in the ALUMNI MAGAZINE are always looking for contributions, I suppose that you do not object to them. I must admit, however, thatI am writing this partly in the hope thatyou may be able to help me locate twomutual friends, Charlie Jost and JohnnyHartigan, whose addresses as I have themare apparently incorrect.
IN THE OPEN SPACES
"It must be very pleasant to live in alocality where the opportunities for sustaining old friendships are so numerousand easy. None of my former Hanovercronies live within two hundred miles ofhere (Davenport); consequently, I have tobe satisfied merely to correspond occasionally with such worthies as Joe Stevens,Dick Nichols, Gordon Chipman, BillCollins, and Art Wilcox.
"At present, I am in the unoriginal position of looking for a job. I have been doingnothing but that since last June, when Ireceived my Ph.D. in English from Northwestern University. Before then, I hadcollected an M.A. (also from Northwestern) and had taught for three years atCleveland College of Western Reserve University.
"Dolores and I are chiefly interested inthe fascinating new development withwhich Nancy June, will be two years oldon December 16, is certain to surprise ustomorrow. However, with a magnificentexhibition of restraint, I shall say nothingmore on this subject.
"As far as the Tenth Reunion is concerned, I shall be on hand if conditionsare only a little bit better than they are—for me—at the moment."
We have forwarded to Traug the last information we have on the addresses requested. Charlie Jost lives at 309 Marlboro Road, Wood Ridge, N. J., according to a 1933 note, while Johnny Hartigan is at 727 First Trust Bldg., Hammond, Ind. If these are incorrect, will someone with more recent dope send it along?
A few excerpts from a letter which I have just received from Les Waggener's father will be of interest to many. Mr. and Mrs. Waggener have just returned to Dallas after a visit East.
"We were delayed in Philadelphia, sodid not reach Wilmington until abouteight-thirty, but were able to reach EdSteel by 'phone. He came at once to thehotel and stayed with us until eleveno'clock. We had him take breakfast withus the next morning, and then went tohis office and met his associates. He arranged for us to get a permit to see theDuPont gardens and hothouses, whichwere very wonderful and much enjoyedby both of us, especially Mrs. Waggener.Ed is very fortunate in his connection, andhis future is, I feel, assured. We found himthe same steady, reliable, Ed, and as trueand sympathetic a friend as if we had hada close association with him during theseyears. It has been three years since welast saw him in New Haven, but for thepast six years he has never let a Christmaspass without a long letter.
"Since our return home, we have hada fine letter from Sid Hayward. Our, greatest disappointment on our trip was ournot being able to visit with him for afew hours when we passed through Hanover. We shall not be satisfied until weknow him. Please remember us to BobCleary and his wife with our best wishes."

After Million-Dollar Cleary and his attractive bride got back to Montclair from their wedding trip to the Adirondacks and Hanover they found a letter from Dr. George Tully, now practicing in Worcester. Excerpts from the document follow:
"Along about Sept. 16th we moved toWorcester where we're planning to spendthe rest of our life—sounds as though Iwere an old man retiring, but I'm reallyjust starting to work.
"Although we're old married folks weare experiencing a good many thrills ofnewly weds. This is the first we've had aplace of our own and we're still havingsome fun furnishing it, although we'repretty well settled now. We are living inwhat we think is a darn nice little house.We have plenty of room so if you're everaround this way, stop in and see us. Ourbeds are new and soft and our groceries arevery good—l'm gaining about ten poundsa week on my present diet.
"Good luck to you both and please convey my deepest sympathy to Mrs. Cleary.She certainly took a load on her handswhen she married you."
Secretary, Wallace & Williams
