Class of 1906
Last month I started off my news items with the phrase, "The cut which accompanies this column," and then to your bewilderment and my chagrin when the MAGAZINE appeared there was no cut! You may blame it on the editors or the printers or the NRA or the weather or any other agent of providence you may choose to select, but the fact remains that someone did me dirt. However, I am promised by my superior officers that the cut will positively appear this month, and I hope you will enjoy it and will help me to identify these supporters of the Marshall club of auld lang syne.
I am writing these notes on March 10, and this very evening Charlie Milham is entertaining President Hopkins and the Dartmouth men of Virginia at dinner in his delightful home, Garrett House, in Williamsburg. I think (note my caution!) that elsewhere in this issue of the MAGAZINE you will find a detailed account of the proceedings at this interesting gathering; at any rate, you read a forecast of them in last month's issue.
Bill Gleason has forsaken Chicago once more and is now traveling for the Nu- Enamel Company, covering the state of Texas. His present address is in care of the Nu-Enamel Company, Houston, Texas.
At the recent annual meeting of the Alpha of New Hampshire of Phi Beta Kappa, Arthur Meservey was elected president for the ensuing year, and Harold Rugg was reelected secretary. Harold has faithfully fulfilled the duties of this office for more than twenty-five years. Another of his perennial offices is that of vice-president of the Vermont Historical Society, to which he was also reelected last month. On the quiet, let me tell you that I am reliably informed that if he would move across the river into Norwich, they would elect him president, but they have to have a president who lives in Vermont!
From a column headed "Just Plain Gossip" in the last number of "Down in the Lehigh Valley," that interesting news sheet issued now and then by the Dartmouth Club of the Lehigh Valley, I quote:
"Jesse Gage '06 is head of the mathematics department at Blair Academy, thirdranking member of the faculty, and haslong been a favorite of the boys there."
I note also that Jess got up to the February 18 meeting of the Club at Easton, at which the winter sports movies of the College were shown.
Henry Thrall's business address is now Thrall, West, and Co., 110 Northwestern Bank Building, Minneapolis.
Halsey Ddgerton has been giving a great deal of time recently to the CWA project in Hanover in which he is greatly interested; namely, the construction of an artificial lake for swimming and recreation just off the Lyme Road beyond the Record farm. Various names have been suggested for this new pond, but the one which all of us 1906 men in Hanover are rooting for is Edgerton Lake.
We have at last located Happy Wayman, after having him on our lost list for nearly two years. Recently he wrote the Alumni Records Office this brief note:
"During Mrs. Wayman's illness for thepast five years, I have had, no permanentaddress. Will shortly return to New Yorkand advise you. My father's address, 315West 7th St., Moundsville, W. Va., willreach me until I send further notice."
And here my column ends, for this is the dull season of the year in this land of snow and slush and mud. Why don't some of you boys who live in greater centers of activity write to me once in a while and tell me what you are doing? I promise you it won't cost you anything but the postage stamp to get your name into print!
After Dinner at the MarshallClub in 1906
Secretary, Hanover, N. H.
