Class of 1915
Fifteeners are lending their helping hands towards what now appears to be a successful football season. Duke Sullivan spent a week in Hanover during the early practice sessions, and while he poses as no authority on football, yet he is optimistic; and in addition, recommends Hanover as an ideal place to spend a week, at any season. Jack Mason was much in evidence at the Norwich game. Kike Richardson forgot both the legal profession in Boston and local politics in Winchester, in order to attend both the Norwich and Vermont games. Russ Livermore and the Secretary managed to see the Vermont game.
Earl Clough, one of our new executive committee members, and Ed Leech, 1914's very efficient secretary, have arranged for a joint 1914-1915 party in the Hawthorne Room of the Parker House in Boston, the night before the Harvard game. Cloughie (Mr. 'Awkins) and his blood-hound, String Downing, will be on hand to make the tiger jump; and Dale Barker, to take the collection. In connection with the Parker House, mention should be made of the Friday luncheons held jointly by 1914 and 1915. We have attended several, and recommend them highly. We understand also that arrangements are being made for a 1915 smoker to be held the night before the Princeton game, at the Dartmouth Club of New York.
Bill Bemis and Richard Wyman have carried on, and each has a son in the class of 1939. H. Kenyon Bemis, and Richard M. Wyman Jr. We also notice that Clyde Buckley 1914, who piloted us through North Fayerweather all during freshman year, sent Wm. P. Buckley II to Dartmouth this fall. Page Jonny Mullin, who had a son ready for college this fall.
Leon Williams, tax consultant and certified public accountant, was married on June 29 to Dorothy Bates Rittenhouse, at Newton Center, Mass. Congratulations. Eddie Rice, the only 1915 CPA bachelor left, should get going.
Al Priddy and Dale Barker, president and secretary respectively of the Bass River Country Club, down on Cape Cod, wish some free publicity, and invite Fifteeners to play with them. They are easy marks, we know, from experience.
In looking over the questionnaires returned to Hal Davison previous to reunion, more interesting information is available than can possibly be included in these columns, in this, or any other issue. We will mention, however, a few residing in foreign countries. Art Boggs writes from Ongole, India, where himself, wife, and two children have been stationed since 1929, that he hopes to see the States again in 1937. Art Donahue is Paris manager for the Palmolive Company. Russ Durgin is still with the YMCA in Tokyo, as honorary secretary. Bob Frothingham, with the Vacuum Oil Co., eight years in London, then eight years in Paris, is now in Genoa, Italy. Robert Mac Hale is plant manager for the General Motors Export Company in Bienne, Switzerland.
Heywood (Casey) Jones, the famous accordion player of Bangor, Me., we hope will brighten up the Harvard game party. Casey is not only connected with two or three bands, but has composed several marches already published, and more to come. Our correspondents have fallen down on us,—vacations, or something, we assume; so no more news for now. But please do not forget our address.
Secretary, Orleans, Vt.
