Class of 1912
Again it becomes necessary to sadden the 1912 column with the news of the passing of a classmate.
The news has just been received of the death of Buster Kennedy in Melrose, Mass., on February 17. Buster had been very sick for a long period of time with an incurable cancer, and while his hopes to recover were always bright his condition was beyond hope. The necessary details are not as yet available to prepare the testimonial for the obituary column, but the same heartfelt sympathy goes out to Buster's small son and his living relatives. Further details will appear in the next issue.
At the testimonial dinner given in New York's Hotel Plaza for Craven Laycock the following were present:—Charley Gately, Lee White, Les Snow, Alvie Garcia, Wally Jones, Dick Remsen, Randy Burns, Jim Erwin, Doc O'Connor, Dick Plumer, Al Eiseman, Tom Brennock, and Ed McCarthy. In Boston on January 20 at the Boston Chamber of Commerce the following were in attendance: Ben Adams, Joe Boylan, Sunny Buell, Gee Bullard, Ray Cabot, Fletch Clark, Dutch Cottrell, Husky Farnum, Ken Foster, Queech French, Hal Fuller, Ev Gammons, Bud Hoban, Ben Hunt, Bug Knight, Mort Kyle, Rollie Linscott, Stan Lovell, Eddie Luitwieler, Glad Nead, Pett Pettingell, Pud Pond, Tom Salmon, Connie Snow, George Wallburg, Doc O'Connor, and Caesar Young. New Yorkers' hats are off to Boston. . . . Here is a pleasant news item:—Jim Er- win—now the Honorable James R. Erwin —was appointed a judge of the Court of Common Pleas in Hudson county, N. J., by Governor Moore. The Governor's wife, long a friend of Judge and Mrs. Erwin, was among the 1000 persons who witnessed the ceremony. Congratulations from 1912 are in order and herewith tendered.
An absence of over a month and a half from the secretarial desk makes it necessary to omit some news items in this issue. We must report, however, personal interviews with Tex and Mrs. Tex Morris at La Jolla, Calif. Unquestionably due to the delightful cordiality of Mrs. Tex's Southern hospitality, we wish to record here the opinion that La Jolla is the world's most delightful spot. In Los Angeles we had the further pleasure of an altogether too short visit with Olie Ahlswede, looking just the same and with his transportation already bought for the hike back to Hanover in 1937.
n San Francisco we found Roy Frothingham holding forth at in Sutter St. with the National Broadcasting Co. and presiding as president of the Dartmouths of Northern California at the well-attended weekly luncheons at the Engineers Club. Dick Remsen is reported down in Sunny Florida for a short vacation.
Ray Cabot reports that on Sunday, February 18, a number of 1912 men were present on a special snow train from Boston to Hanover, spending a delightful winter sports visit.
