Class of 1926
Another big scandal has just been unearthed! The terrible thing is, that none other than our own dear, beloved classmate, Sidney Chandler Hayward, has been caught hoarding the ALUMNI MAGAZINE gold. Awful, isn't it?
As Congress is now considering starting one of its famous investigations, we have decided to come to the aid of our dear brother by running an all-round 1953 ac- tivity contest and make the MAGAZINE spend this hoarded gold through the medium of printing the pictures of the various contestants.
The prizes for the winners of this contest will be awarded at our big "TentSabbatical Bat," which you all know is in the not too far future.
The pictures you see here are those of the first contestants—Joan Jacobus, daughter of Jake and Evie Jacobus of Verona, New Jersey, and Nancy Hayward of the Hanover Haywards.
We had the pleasure of interviewing Joan and found her to be a charming, interesting and beautiful contestant. She likes spinach because Uncle Bob Cleary eats it, and he is "so wonderful," particularly to the ladies. She asked us to print the following statement—"Glub, Glub, 000, Oye!"— which, I believe, is a "Voice crying out in the Wilderness."
The report on Nancy is that her Old Man is trying to teach her to say "Wah Hoo Wah" as her first coherent utterance.
Now that this contest is under way,please try to help us by sending picturesof your contestants for future issues of theclass notes.
We received the following letter which we know will be of great interest to all of you.
"My sister, Mrs. Abner Oakes, has askedme to write you to announce the birth ofher baby on February 13,1934, in Montreal,where she has been living with her parentssince Ab's death last October. The baby isa husky seven pound boy and has beengiven Ab's name. No doubt many of hisclassmates in 1926 will be interested toknow that the Oakes name will continue.The latest reports show that the motherand son are doing nicely. "HORACE W. ALLYN '30." I know we express the thoughts of all when we send our heartiest congratulation to Mrs. Oakes on the birth of her son.

"Your note in the '26 Class Bulletinmust not go unanswered and I hope that Ishall hear from you again in a little morelengthy style. As you can see from the heading I am now in Basel, and enjoying lifehere ever so much. I left Warsaw last September and after spending three months'vacation in the States, I was transferred tothis post. I was in Boston and Hartfordin October, and wanted to run up to Hanover, but was wiable to do so. I stayed aweek with Clyde Hall in Washington, andmet several of the Dartmouth gang. I managed to attend one of the luncheons theyhave in Washington.
"We are just getting settled, and cannow announce that we have the latch stringout for any of the Dartmouth crowd goingthrough this town en route to a summer in Switzerland.
"We are trying to plan our affairs so thatwe can get back to the States for the tenthin '36 but you never can tell what willhappen in this game, so it is only a hope atthe present time. If the depression is overby that time we ought to have a great celebration.
"My best to the few of the crowd left inHanover,
"MONTY (COLLADAY)."
On reading over "Down in the Lehigh Valley," an Easton, Pa., publication, we came"across the following: "We are morethan a little late in reporting the marriageof Henry Sage and Carolyn Middaugh lastJune. In fact we're so late that we can alsocongratulate Heine upon the arrival ofHenry Jr. in Columbia, S. C., just a coupleof weeks ago. Carolyn, and Heine were inthe hospital at the same time, the latterwith pneumonia, although we are glad tobe able to say that he is now convalescingrapidly." As this is the first we have heard of Henry Jr. we also want to add our congratulations.
The class of 1926 was very well represented at the dinner in New York given to Dean Laycock. Bob Cleary was on the committee, being there in the flesh only. Ed Dooley introduced the new coaches to the alumni, among whom could be found in addition to those mentioned, the following: Jake Jacobus, Charlie Bishop, Carl Allen, Chuck Webster, Tom Floyd-Jones, Ted Hertz, Jim Jenkins, Charlie Singleton, Sandy Martin and Bill Hughes, all of whom joined in and were the first to give a cheer for the new coaches.
"You old skinflint yourself. It took justthat personal touch which was characterized by your letter to bring me to mysenses. With a very inadequate bookkeeping system, I was under the impression thathaving sent various checks here and there,the money for the ALUMNI MAGAZINE wasamong them. In fact you still had bettercheck up and see if I haven't sent it. However, here is one, or another one, so spend itwisely.
"Your friend J. B. is in affluence oncemore, now having a job with C. W.A. inthe administration end of it. Since losingmy job in June of 1932 with the newspaperand thereafter being with the TelephoneCompany for a period, I got a job with thelocal charities. Then when the C. W. A.started I was transferred to that organization where I have been since—at a magnificent salary as you can imagine. I am knownas a payroll i?ispector and permanent inspector on certain projects here in Lakewood, Ohio. So that has been my financialand business history to date.
"I am still single and see marriage aboutten years off. My father has been ill athome as a result of his second stroke forthe past two years and this of course hasbeen rather confining. I hope that thingscan be managed so that some day in thenear future, I can make my first peeradesince graduation to Hanover."Yours,
"JOE (J. B. STEVENS)."
On March 20th, we are having a 1926 dinner at the Dartmouth Club in New York. Charlie Singleton is chairman, being ably assisted by Cleary, Bishop and Hughes. More about that in the next issue after the event takes place.
From the Chicago Tribune of March 5th, we are able to pass on the following engagement announcement. Miss Betty Brown, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Dwight Brown of Indianapolis announced her engagement to Edward John Fleming, son of Mr. and Mrs. Edward J. Fleming of Evanston. Betty was educated at Pine Manor, Wellesley, Mass., and has since devoted most of her time to travel and charity as a member of the Junior League. Ed, after graduation, received his LL.B. from Northwestern University. Betty visited Ed's sister and brother-in-law, the Mr. and Mrs. Arthur B. Seibold Jr. of Glencoe.
We hear that Charlie Starrett is doing very well in Hollywood, but that his greatest ambition is to make the Tenth in 1936. We might add, he is not alone in this.
"175 West Jackson BoulevardChicago, Illinois."Dear Sid:
"Thanks for the 'personal' note. Thingslook good here in Chicago—so good that Igave up my managerial position with theTravelers Ins. Co. the first of the year andhave set up my own agency with an oldfriend, H. H. Holcomb, one of the goodbrethren from Wisconsin. Have hadmarital bliss for one year and a half now,but that's the extent of it except for awire-haired terrier. Sorry I didn't see youat the Chicago game. Also sorry I did seethe game. It was really pitiful, but ofcourse better days are coming now—
"We had a fine banquet last Friday.Elected new officers for the year, and theDean gave one of his customary excellenttalks. I don't know just how many werethere, but I would judge at least His retirement will be a great loss.
