Class of 1906
The Alumni Fund campaign is well under way again, with Nat Leverone acting as class agent, assisted by Harold Rugg. You have all received appeals from one or both of these men, and we hope that you have not forgotten to send in your contribution. The class of 1906 made a better showing last year in spite of the depression than it has done in previous years; let's dig down in our pockets and make this year's contribution a real record.
Very little news has come my way since I sent in last month's screed, and since I cannot, or rather will not, invent items of entertainment about my classmates, you will have to be content with a short column. Do remember that your class secretary wants to hear from you just as often as you can find time to write.
Arthur Wells, better known as Seth, has forwarded us his latest address: Hotel Cecil, Los Angeles, Calif. What he is doing he does not say.
Bill Bell, although he lives in Concord, N. H., has a friend in Chicago who keeps him better supplied with news of what Nat Leverone is doing than I am by Nat himself. Recently Bill sent me a cut from the April 28 issue of the Chicago Tribune, showing Nat associating as usual with well-dressed celebrities. This time he is backed up against the wall behind a sumptuous banquet table in the Union League Club at a meeting of the alumni of—be-lieve it or not—Brown University! President Barbour of Brown was the guest of honor, and others in the picture included Senator James Hamilton Lewis, the retiring principal of the Harrison High School, and the presidents of the Yale and Brown Clubs of Chicago. Nat is labeled as president of the Dartmouth Club of Chicago. It must be great to be president of so many organizations as Nat is; he gets such a lot of good dinners free!
Halsey and Mrs. Edgerton returned from their honeymoon in Bermuda on Saturday, April aB. It chanced that the next noon they were seated at a cosy table in the Hanover Inn, when they suddenly discovered that the three adjoining tables were occupied respectively by Lymie and Mrs. Frazier and their son Telford, Gott and Mrs. Brooks and their son Laurence, and Mrs. Childs and myself. Although we did not disturb the Sunday quiet of the Inn by giving the Jucche that we yearned to shout, we did convince the Edgertons that 1906 was giving them a real welcome home. The Edgertons are now busy getting settled in their new home on Valley Road. This is the season of the year when parents like to visit their sons who are in college, and besides the Brookses and Fraziers whom I have just mentioned, Mike and Helen O'Brien have recently made the trek to Hanover. I saw them at ,the baseball game on Green Key Prom week-end, eagerly watching their son Smith do his part in helping Dartmouth win from Yale.
I learn from the bulletin of the Dartmouth College Club of New York that 1906 is still on the map in the great city. This year "T." Brown is chairman of the house committee of the club, and Fat Pratt is chairman of the membership and promotion committee.
And that is everything I know about 1906 this month.
Secretary, Hanover, N. H.
