Class of 1910
We sure got the doggon'st class this side of Etna .... for about the steenth time since Dan'l Webster drank his last hard cider, 01' 1910 leads the whole Dartmouth family with number of sons in the freshman class .... 9 of 'em whose daddies sprang from a virile class that was on Hanover Plain when men studied music for credits, and not culture .... not all book, smart, and not all dumb .... but men who musta learned a lot from that great Smutmaster, J. Bowler, or they wouldn't be leading all the classes all of the time. The Tenners of rightfully expanding chests (and don't you guys go and try to prove anything more) and their fine sons are:
Son Father Robert F. Brown Bill Kelvin J. Fay Charlie Alister Hyde "Heinie" Jas.E.MacPhersonJr. Jim Samuel L. Powers "Slip" Harold S. Robinson Harold Wm. E. Tucker Jr. Bill John R. Vincens Dick Edward P. Wells Harry
An innermost desire of all Dartmouth men to have sons go to the old College . . . . 1910 has stood high for some years, in supplying sons, in Alumni Fund ranking, in every phase of Dartmouth loyalty .... it's a swell class! Boston Herald says about Ray Gorton, fat and handsome, "Showing the samesound shots which carried him to nationalprominence 20 years ago, Ray Gorton ofBrae Burn brought his partner ....safely through 36 holes of golf yesterday towin the invitation four-ball tournament atCharles River Country Club" .... par golf and everything else to shoot a 76 for one round .... said his caddie was the best he had had "in 56 years of golf" .... Wow, what an Old Buck! .... Harold Washburn appointed chairman of Romance Language Department at Hanover for two years Big Naval Officer Ernest Small is now stationed on the U.S.S. West Virginia at San Pedro, Calif., living at 3717 Livingston Drive, Long Beach Russell Meredith Junior is on the news board of the Daily Dartmouth, and his old man takes time out of a mighty busy life to act as secretary of the Troy Rotary Club Allan Fowler lives at Central Espana, Matanzas, Cuba .... reading in San Francisco "Squeaks" about our old friend, "Husky" Rich, being sheriff at Steamboat Springs, Colo., reminds us that 1910 has a sheriff in Leste Moses of Coos county, who recently led a northern New Hampshire man hunt. .... Whitney Eastman, great Tenner and Dartmouth man, who consented to be official-class-deficit-maker-up on an annual operation, is member of Alumni Council Committee on Admissions and Schools. .... "Bunny" (Ferdinand Armstrong) sent us a one cent postal from Friendship, Me., showing a darn big fish he didn't catch Herrick Kidder, after summering in Strafford, Vt„ not far from Hanover, is teaching in McDonough School, McDonough, Md Boston Globe spaced Tommy Leonard generously of recent when reporting a meeting of "Young Democrats," "Executive Councillor Thomas J. Leonard, once an all-roundathlete at Dartmouth, University of NewHampshire, and University of Chattanooga, and New Hampshire amateur golfchampion within a few years, dropped in atthe meeting and gave a lively 'pep' talk onwhat Granite State Democrats can do asregards state issues in the campaign of nextyear. Councillor Leonard has not been soargumentative and forensic in the Councilmeetings as some of his Republican colleagues expected, but evidently he has beenwatching closely and taking copious notesof the inside governmental workings at theCapitol. Extravagance, he claims, permeates the whole structure He acknowledges the efficienicy of some state departments, but thinks he smells graft inothers and promises more developmentsbefore the votes are counted in November,1936. Attorney Leonard is not saying anything about his own political future, buthis friends are assigning him such jobs asmayor of Nashua, Congressman from 2dDistrict, and another term on the Council."
Jack Childs '09, who is one of Dartmouth's greatest all-time toastmasters, writes the following in August 19 issue of "Dartmouth Diddings," "Diddings wassorry to hear of the death of Harry Hunter'10, who died as a result of a brain tumor.While Harry was never active in ChicagoDartmouth affairs, those who did knowhim admired his many fine qualities. For anumber of years, he and his family hadmade their home in Geneva. One of thethings we remember about Harry in Hanover was that he was one of those who tookup skiing back in the days when it wasn'tas common as now. One day he went outon a nice hard crust of snow and took quitea slide on his face. Harry was active inChicago Alpha Delt circles, being president of their alumni club a couple of yearsago. We're sorry to see him go, and extendour sympathy to his wife and kids." .... If our memory serves us rightly, Harry carried that scar the rest of his earthly life .... Harry was a fine fellow.

"It's PainlessTo Pay Paine."
YESTERYERE
A recent interview with Sheriff Fitzgerald printed in the Daily Dartmouth refers to that famous night some 25 or 30 years ago when the ladies of a traveling show came to Hanover during the afternoon to get acquainted with the students before their evening performance in the Norwich town hall .... the commotion of their presence around the Commons corner still lingers .... what a mob . . . . and that night a few hundred students trekked to the village across the river to "break up the show," for word had spread quickly .... perhaps, it is well to quote the sheriff, for no two student minds ever agreed on some of the things that did happen, but one sure thing, we'll never forget those eggs flying at the ham-actors, the stage scenery, and some cabbages and turnips too, after everyone was well placed on the interior, and the curtain went up
"AND THE SHERIFF SAID "
.... but the sheriff, the same one, "Well,about 400 or 500 boys piled into the townhall, some paid, some didn't. They startedthe old egg-tossin' business and raisedquite a racket (righto, Jack Dalton!). I gota call to clean thetn out. I knew I nevercould do it, so I went over to a facultymeeting which was going on and spoke. . . . well, I guess Emerson was dean ofthe college then. He came back with me,and when we entered the hall, you couldhear a pin drop. The boys were scared stiffand were quiet as mice. They finally leftquietly." .... The sheriff added, "I wascalled down to Plymouth later to trackdown an escaped prisoner. I registered atthe hotel, and then the clerk looked at meand said, 'You can't stop here. You'reSheriff Fitzgerald.' Well, it happened to beone of the boys at the set-to that night.After talking over old times for awhile, hesorter changed his mind and gave me thebest room in the house."
