Class of 1915
Rus and Isabel Rice announce the very welcome arrival of David Woodward Rice, March 15, 1934. Congratulations to Rus, Isabel, and little David.
Gib Campbell has recently been appointed one of the executors of his father's estate. Gilbert Campbell Sr. died March 1, 1934, at Eyndonville, Vt. We wish to express here the sincere sympathy of the entire class to Gib and Claire for their great loss.
It is most reassuring to learn that Ralph Brown, Esq., better known to the readers of this column as Brownie, has been spending much time in Washington in an attempt to regulate the New Deal Stock Exchange regulations. While perhaps Brownie will not admit it, this would appear to be one of the times when it pays to be a Democrat.
Among the changes of addresses furnished the Secretary each month is evidence that New York City is soon to become the center of population so far as this class is concerned, as the following have been reported in the city within the past two weeks: George Dyke at 25 Broad St., Red Folan at 6 East Forty Fifth St., Carl Gish at 5a Wall St., Beardsley Ruml, care of R. H. Macy & Cos., and Leon Williams, 36 West Forty-fourth St.
Among those reported present at the Boston Alumni Association meeting in honor of the new football coaches, held April 2, were the following: Bill Huntress, Dale Barker, Kike Richardson, A 1 Sherman, Johnny Johnson, A 1 Priddy, Adam Sutcliffe, A 1 Bull, Earl Clough, Jim Henderson, Walt Meader, Rus Chase, and Jack Mason. We already have the famous expresion of "Sherman at the war," but the classic description of the inability of the younger alumni to imbibe the modern beverages is reported to have come from the legal mind of one Richardson. We shall hope to hear more of this at some future gathering of the class.
Don Law has aroused the writer's curiosity by an announcement of the recent arrival of Thomas Hull Law and Donald Edward Law Jr. It has been many years since the writer has heard from Don, and he is, therefore, not sure what the significance of the word "recent" really is. Certainly congratulations are in order, but if they are twins, why not say so?
Suggestions have been made in the past through this column concerning some activity in the class for heading up plans for the reunion in 1935. A great deal of interest has already been shown in this matter. This has also brought on another topic for discussion, "Shall the class issue a report at the 20th reunion or during that year, as has been the custom by many other classes?" While the Secretary is not seeking any additional opportunities to serve, he is however privileged to see the report of every other class when issued, and it would seem to him that a concise pamphlet report including some word from every member of the class would be inexpensive, interesting, and worth while. Comment pro and con is requested.
Art Nichols reports an interesting visit with Zeke Carpenter in Omaha recently, and flatters Zeke with the statement that no change could be seen in him since Art last saw him nineteen years ago. No doubt Zeke would retort that the real fountain of youth is located in Omaha.
Back in Hanover days Earl Clough used to disturb many a study hour with sales talk on pies and sandwiches; later he became a traveling representative of a wellknown perfume house. Now Coughy is doing a big business for a nationally known confectioner. Back to the stomach, eh, Earl?
Heywood Jones again makes the headlines in Bangor, Me., this time as a composer of a stirring march, which he has entitled "Hot Sands." While it is dedicated to Anah Temple of the Mystic Shrine, some of the composer's golf companions claim the march was inspired by his numerous visits to the sand traps of the Bangor golf course.
District-Attorney Ed Dewing is still doing a big job in Massachusetts criminal courts. We read his name daily in the Boston papers. He is proving himself an admirable public official.
Joe Harris, another New Yorker, has given a very fine account of himself. He has worked up to sales manager for Borden Company. He has reported on Roy Johnson of Jacksonville, Fla., from whom many of us have not heard for a long time. Johnnie, as all Johnsons are named, is an expert golfer and also state representative for the Sun Life Insurance Cos.
On a recent trip to Boston the writer had a nice visit with Dale Barker, who was .just as cordial as ever. Also talked with Kike Richardson, who was too busy to accept an :nvitation out to dinner, which speaks very well for the law business in the locality. Also became interested in a very attractive corner at the Statler Hotel labeled "Rochambeau," and upon investigating found it to be owned and operated by Wally Shambow and his delightful mother. He would like to see any of you fellows when in the Hub.
Secretary, 18 So. Court St., Woodsville, N. H.
