Class of 1912
Opening the secretaries' season for 1935-36. Grand resolutions. Hope YOU keep them too and give us plenty of news to report.
The last issue of the ALUMNI MAGAZINE did report that 1912 was duly represented at the annual secretaries' meeting in Hanover May 17 and 18. The meeting Friday afternoon in the Baker Library followed by an informal tea and reception at the home of President and Mrs. Hopkins- then the dinner that night at the Tuck School. Saturday morning a meeting, and in the afternoon a free for all baseball game victorious against Harvard.
Ran into Lyme Armes on Main St. He had just about recovered from a long serious illness and was taking life easy at Harvey Lake, Northwood Center, N. H. Also glad to greet Art French and the Missus with three children, all visiting Arthur Junior in the sophomore class. We missed some of the old bunch—Ray Cabot, Hal Fuller, and. several of the others who take advantage of every possible excuse to run up to Hanover.
"Mert" Baker is now connected with Stevens & Thompson Paper Co. of New York. Last heard from, Mert was making the rounds of several mills manufacturing tissue papers, containers, and card board.
"Dutch" Waterbury was up from Porto Rico early in June to visit his son at the Kent School. Dutch flew up, leaving San Juan at 8 A.M. on the Skijorsky, Brazilian clipper ship—stopping at San Pedro Macoris, San Domingo—Port au Prince, Haiti —Neuvitis, Cuba, and arriving at Miami the same night at 5 P.M.
Readers of New York papers—the N. Y. Times and Herald Tribune and all the others were treated to a good large picture of Dick Remsen and Dicky Jr. The occasion—winners of the annual championship of the Fathers and Sons Golf Association. The score Ba—handicap 16—net 66, giving them a win by two strokes over no less worthy competitors than Jess Sweetser and his son George with a handicap of 15. As the article had it, "judged by their relative prowess on the links it appears thatgolfing fathers in many cases become oldmuch more slowly than their offspring. Asa case in point take THE Richard Remserisof Cherry Valley," etc. We really hesitate to keep writing the Remsens up so, but they really ARE news—never miss a day in the society column—Florida in the winter —mountains in the summer—always ready to go places. Dick's hobby is law, and they do say he is very good at that too.
Another Associated Press release gives a very interesting story in connection with the class of 1880, on the occasion of their 55 th Reunion. To each member of the class present there was given an ash tray made by students of the manual training department of West High in Manchester out of the wood of "ye Olde Pine." To quote the article—'"Walter Childs was be-hind the movement to give the ISSOgraduates something which will never letthem forget the stately pine. Mr. Childsoften goes to the College and talks with hisfriend, the chief engineer. He came toknow of the rough pieces of pine savedafter the lightning storm which demollished the tree. He has one and a few otherDartmouth men have them. Learning thatthe pieces were fast disappearing, he obtained sufficient to have the eight necessaryash trays made up and inscribed with thefollowing message—'Dartmouth 1880—YeOlde Pine.'"
Visitors to Hanover for the reunion were Randy Burns, Hal Fuller, Caesar Young and Roy Lewis. Informal head- quarters were established at Richardson Hall.
The "Tex" Morrises of that place of places, La Jolla, Calif., had Bob with them over his last vacation before graduation next year. Bob is—as previously reported- manager of football this year, and if this column s wishes mean anything he will retire at the end of the season as having had the finest team in the country.
Speaking of California—Jimmie Boak was late in June at San Pedro—aboard the U. S. S. Tuscaloosa. Jimmie is probably listed an admiral or something of the kind.
Next time "Jimmie" Steen gets around town—meaning New York—please leave "reaching address."
We really have quite a stack of news, but we are going to keep it a secret. Who knows but it may be an incentive to increase the ALUMNI MAGAZINE subscription, and besides who knows but that we will be glad to have something to write about for the next issue. Anyway we are tickled pink to have quite a bit of news on a lot of the boys who have just popped up after a long absence.
Until November—awfully glad to have heard from you.
Late Flash:—Randy Burns captains Dartmouth golf team against Cornell and Pennsylvania in newly formed intercollegiate alumni golf association. First match Wednesday, September n, at the West- chester Country Club in New York. For final results see your DARTMOUTH ALUMNI MAGAZINE.
