Class of 1915
The new Secretary takes over his office with considerable fear and trembling, realizing the responsibility of his position, but "Fools rush in where angels fear totread,"—so here we go. All we ask of the some 250 Fifteeners is, that they keep in touch with us,—news of others is more important than news of yourselves. We are asking several of the class, resident about the world, to assist us in furnishing news for these columns; and with your help, we will do our best.
Our Twentieth, according to impartial observers, was more than a success. About 75 of the class were in attendance, with 50 family members for moral support. We would say that the outstanding events of the reunion were the class dinner, with al- most a 100% attendance; the Sunday picnic at Bonnie Oaks, Lake Morey; Charlie Griffith, as guest artist at the Musical Clubs' concert on Sunday evening; and the fact that those returning seemed to enjoy themselves. Much credit is due to Al Priddy and Adam Sutcliffe for their activities in the proper policing of our quarters, and except for the loss of a picnic pump, no complaints were made to their department. One duck found its way to the lost and found department. The piano lost one of its legs, and no breakfast was served in the tent. A quorum was present, and the following officers were elected, for the five years next ensuing;
President, G. Kellogg Rose Jr.; vice- presidents, H. K. Davison, George B. Young; secretary, Charles R. Taplin; treasurer, Norville L. Milmore; class agent, Russell B. Livermore; executive committee, Robert G. Clarke, Russell C. Johnson, Earl E. Clough.
At the Class dinner, it was voted to send greetings to Dean C. A. Phillips of the College of Commerce of University of lowa. Dean Phillips was a friend to every Fifteener who ever came in contact with him, and in response to these greetings, wrote as follows: "I am unable to tell youin a few words how deeply I appreciatethis action of the class in the passing ofthe greetings' resolutions Mrs.Phillips and I spent some time in Hanoverin April, hours that carried us back inmemory to the time when you and yourclassmates were youngsters on the campus.It would be fine to meet you all again."
We do not remember seeing back in Hanover in many a year Hank Monheimer, Chink Chamberlain, Gibb Campbell, Howard Fuller, Duke Sullivan, and several others. We have picked the young "Duke" as full of promise for Dartmouth Stick Parnell, one of the most loyal of the class, after several years of illness, is back on his feet; and was right out front at Hanover in June. More power to you, Stick.
Deane Hazen has moved west, recently, to Des Plaines, Ill., where he is comptroller of the Benjamin Electric Mfg. Co....... Milt Ghee is Detroit manager for McCall's, and commutes between his farm in Royal Oak and his ranch in Texas Vincent "Pop" Byers is now with the New York Sun, and should furnish us with some news for these columns John Pendleton has gone "New Deal," and is with the Treasury Department as structural engineer in the Procurement Division. .... Harry Bickford is manager of the Genesse Finance Co., Batavia, N. Y., and might loan us some funds Judge "Red" Stevens has exhausted all the salmon fishing in the States and Canada, and left directly after reunion for Alaska for the same purpose. Red and Jack Mason appear to be the salmon fishers of the class More news from Walt Wanger, who continues his success as a movie producer. Paramount wants him, so more power to you, Walt.
Bud Whitney is located at Belgrade Lakes, Me Leon Williams, who should have audited the treasurer's accounts for the past five years, has moved from Denver to Washington to 2 Wall St., N. Y-, as usual, an accomplished accountant Johnny Johnson, one of our new executive committee members, writes from Philadelphia and points south and West,—his comments will be discussed later The Taplins will consider it too bad for themselves, Fifteeners, or other Dartmouth men and families, if they do not stop when touring the North Country, .... the latch string is always out.
As a serious proposition, and in order to make the best contact with the College, why not subscribe to the ALUMNI MAGAZINE, by sending at least $3.00 to our new treasurer, Norville L. Milmore, 34 Bellevue Road, Swampscott, Mass. Before you have received this issue Norvie will have sent you bills for your dues, but include in your check enough for a subscription to the ALUMNI MAGAZINE.
Secretary, Orleans, Vt.
