Class of 1907

This is the most satisfying period of the year for the class secretary. The annual appeal for class dues is not as productive in terms of money as it might be, but the crop of reports of classmates is relatively bountiful. This year was a good crop year, and incidentally, and I hope significantly, before this magazine appears over 50% of the class will have paid dues and subscribed to the magazine for the college year.

The September issue of Fortune carried an interesting article about the Atlas Corporation, in which was included reference to our classmate George Howard. Runt Martin, who brought the article to the Secretary's attention, boasts that he started George on his successful legal career by becoming his first client and having him incorporate the Association of National Advertisers, of which Runt was the first secretary.

William C. Wildey reports that his son, Warren C. Wildey, entered the class of 1939 in September.

"Time marches on unbelievably! Adaughter at Sarah Lawrence College, another at Vassar, and a third daughter and ason in secondary schools.

THATCHER WORTHEN."

Harry Jordan of Waukegan, Ill., from whom the Secretary has heard too infrequently in recent years, writes:—

"I have survived the experiments of theNew Deal, but only by accepting thephilosophy in the old Chinese saying' Whenyou anticipate a trimming, relax and enjoyit.'"

Harry is general manager, or something equally important, of the Griess-Pfleger Tanning Company in Waukegan. He is a collector of oriental rugs and quite an authority on them. He has a fine family and an attractive home overlooking Lake Michigan and grounds surrounding it large enough to enable him to indulge another hobby, horseback riding.

Victor King casts one ballot for New Hampshire foliage and one against the Orozco Murals! He reports a recent visit to Hanover with Mrs. King to attend the Bates game and call on his third boy, who entered in the class of '39. Let me quote from his letter:—

"Every tree was a bouquet! The drive upand down was punctuated by an uninterrupted succession of 'Ahs'! Looked at theOrozco Murals and vote 'No.' Prefer theoutdoors or the Tower Room to the Orozcocorridor."

V. R. King '3l is now a lawyer in Newark, N. J. J. H. King '34 is in sales work and has two sons scheduled for Dartmouth in '57 and '59, Gene '39, a third son, entered college in September, and a fourth son is preparing for entrance.

Mrs. Smart, writes Bill, has been in the Laconia, N. H., hospital for seven weeks, but is now well on the way to recovery.

Kitching is still traveling from coast to coast as vice-president of Vincent Edwards & Company, New York City, selling advertising services to retailers and banks. His daughter Jessie expects to enter Vassar next fall, and Marjorie is in the second year of Junior High at White Plains, N. Y. "Kitch" writes,

"In Seattle, I had a most enjoyable visitwith Sam Barnes. Sam is in the lumberbusiness, along with other interests, and isvery highly thought of in the community,which is not hard for us to understand. Hehas two daughters, one of whom graduatedfrom Mt. Holyoke College last June and theother is a sophomore in the same institution."

Sam Barnes tells of an interesting experience. He is very fond of horseback riding, and one day happened to ride along with a young fellow he had not seen before. As they chatted something came out about Dartmouth, which the young man said he attended. "Well," said Sam, "so did I." Then the Y. M. said, "I was a member ofPhi Kappa Psi fraternity." "So was I," said Sam. "Did you belong to any senior society," asked the Y. M.? "Well," said Sam, "In my senior year I roomed at the C if Ghouse." "So did I," said the Y. M. "Well," said the Y. M., "Did you by any chance become a member of Paleopitus?" "Yes," said Sam. "So did I," said the Y. M., and with that he got down off his horse, walked around and saluted Sam, saying, "Well, atleast we didn't have the same father."

In Denver, we have the following three classmates:—

Frank McDonough has an extensive law practice in association with his father, who is a judge.

Joe Mahoney is doing fine in the warehouse business and is very happily established. His daughter married three years ago. His oldest boy, a fine young chap, graduated from Catholic University last June and is starting on a business career. His youngest boy is just entering high school.

Ralph Knight is in the oil business in Denver and very much of a family man too.

Brief, but highly appreciated, messages have been received by the Secretary from Charlie Luberger, Bill Minsch, Sam Bartlett, Al White, Doc Foley, and Chester Sandy.

Freshman Sons of 1906 R. L. Brooks, C. A. Chellis Jr., C. A. Cogswell, and J. F. Page.
