Class of 1916
If you think that these notes are short, uninteresting, or otherwise to you just jot down on your memorandum pad—"Write a letter to Johnnie."
At the Dartmouth alumni dinner held in Boston on Saturday, January 20, 1916 was represented by the following men. Bob Brown, Gus Emery, Herb Stieglei, Herb Lord, Ted Walker, Frank Bobst, Gran Fuller, Cliff Bean, Jack English, Bil Mott, Louie Bell, Louie Gove, Dick Parkhurst, Bob Burlen, John McAuliffe, Howdie Parker, and Shorty Shaw.
At this Boston meeting Dick Parkhurst was elected vice-president of the Boston Association. I wish that I could expound to you at length on the swell sort of job that Dick is doing as vice-chairman and secretary of the Boston Port Authority. But all that I have are mere bits of hearsay. Dick seems unwilling to put forth. How about some of you men in Boston familiar with it?
On February 6 the annual meeting of the Cleveland alumni was held here, and those representing 1916 were the following: Fletch Andrews, Ruby McFalls, Bill McKenzie of Akron, 0., and myself. At a business meeting Carl Holmes was elected as a member of the executive committee. School work prevented him from being present to hear Dean Laycock's last word to us as clean.
From Stirling Wilson I learn that Leigh Rogers had been appointed to a committee by Secretary Roper to examine the possibility of making cheap planes to boost everyone up in the air. Does anyone know whether or not Leigh has ever finished and had published his second novel?
From both participants I learn that Ruby McFalls and Stirling met in Washington not so long ago and settled, even before the Athletic Council did, the football situation at Hanover. The same solution was not reached that had been in Cincinnati between Lymie Perkins and Ruby. Needless to add they were all far off from that which actually did happen.
Karl Shedd, who lives in Hamden, Conn., writes that last June he received from Yale, his degree, Ph.D., in Romance languages. Is at Trinity College in Hartford, Conn., for the second semester, substituting for Prof. Galpin, who is on leave for this length of time.
Though Fletch Andrews is a neighbor and was seen not more than three nights ago, it takes word from Omaha Virg Rector, to find out that Fletch spent the Thanksgiving holidays in New York with his mother. But it also turned out to be the rst time Fletch had been away from his wife in 15 years. Some record that we peddlers have to envy—but not our wives.
Mac McLellan writes from Texas that ast October his family was increased to hree children by the birth of Rose Ann. Ac has just completed his 15th year with t e Humble Oil and Refining Company. His work consists of scouting, leasing oil lews, and complete charge of the geological department.
r°m the West Coast comes word from an Lindsley that he is still plugging away P sales promotion work for the West oast Wood Preserving Company. He is °cated in Los Angeles, and at the Dartmouth Night dinner he and Bob Thieme upheld the 1916 end. The latter is Pacific oast manager for International Filter company, and also resides in Los Angeles. Additional news from the West Coast consists of two items—that genial sprinter Dan Coakley is also in Los Angeles, and is manager of the bond department of Globe Royal Group. Bernard Wyle is now with the Wetzel Publishing Company and also lives in Los Angeles.
As you all no doubt know, Jess Fenno has an aviation field near Providence, R. I. Those of you who attended any of the Brown football games last fall might have noticed the giro over you with advertising trailing behind. Well, that was Jess, Seeing the game from the air.
Who of all the Washington, D. C., correspondents can tell me the physical condition of Husky Hearin? It seems that last fall he was unable to attend the Princeton game because of an English royalty trait he went over the jump, but his horse remained behind.
Bones Joy is now living in Glen Ridge, N.J. He is employed by The National Broadcasting Company as a musician. As I understand it, he is with them as a sustaining feature—if you know what I mean.
John Ames is with the Tri-Continental Corporation in New York City. Still takes a very active interest in the organization of the officers of the First Division of the A.E.F.
Can anyone supply any further information on the following men? They are listed as being in the educational field of work. Roy Burghardt—Pittsburgh, Pa., Bob Clunie, Newcastle, Me., Spike Drenan, Keene, N. H., Clint Greenwood, Farmington, Me., Shirley Harvey, Belmont, Mass., Art Marsden, Lawrence, Mass., Judge Phillips, Glover, Vt.
We note the following changes of addresses: Harry Goldman, 1175 Evergreen Ave, N.Y.C. Charles W. Manzer, N. Y. University, Washington Square College, N. Y. C. Dan Dinsmoor, 6 Ingalls St., Woburn, Mass. Does this mean that Dan is back from Sunderland, England? John F. McEndy, another Park Avenuer, 79 Park Ave., N. Y. C.
Olin Smith, Westinghouse Elec. Supply Co., 240 St. Paul St., Rochester, N. Y.
May I add just a word or two of my own? I have been through it, in fact five times, and I have a personal knowledge of that which Rog Evans and his helpers have ahead of them this spring in the way of work. You all know what I mean—the annual drive for funds for the Alumni Fund. It will help more than you can possibly imagine if you will but answer the first appeal. You men who are in the habit of giving—don't put it off—free Roger of the worry about you—there are plenty of others to worry about—get yours in at once. It is worth more at the very beginning than at the end in that postage, broadcasts, and nerves are saved. So co-operate, help, save a nerve or two before it becomes frayed.
