Class of 1926
HEAR YE!
HEAR YE!
HEAR YE!
It shall come to pass that the class of 1926, probably the greatest class ever graduated from Dartmouth College, shall convene, gather, assemble, collect, and congregate on the plain of that beautiful little village in New Hampshire known as Hanover on June 12-13-14-15 in the year 1936.
The purpose shall be to relive for a short time the delightful days of their fast ebbing youth. With the aid of that elixir of life which so nobly inspired the first of Eleazer's warriors to humble the gallant sons of Eli, we shall cavort amongst the pines, hemlocks, and beer barrels. WOE unto him who, in the smugness and complacency of approaching old age, fails to partake of this youth-restoring potion. DO NOT WAIT lest the insidious disease known as lethargy rot your quaking bones beyond repair. SEND $5.00 NOW to those witch doctors of the Reunion Committee who are parceling out small doses of those marvelous pills in the form of chances on a free tax. This medicine will definitely provide the "shot in the arm" necessary to carry your dying spirit through to June, when the operation shall be completed.
DO NOT LAG, lest you carry the burden of an opportunity missed. Those who have demonstrated their keen sense of values by taking the first dose of this unprecedented rejuvenator are:—
Bill Barclay Dick Mandel Clarence McDavitt Jake Jacobus Charlie Singleton Tom Floyd-Jones Geo. Scott Bleek Williams Tiny Marsans Tubber Weymouth
Bill Hughes, director of witchcraft in Boston, conducted a stance at the Hotel Bellevue the night before the Harvard game and initiated the following into the spiritualistic manifestations of "The Grand Order of Knights of June 12-13-14-15."
Bill Hughes Bob Salinger Don Mackay Ralph Bristol Hal Marshall Don Norstrand Charlie Collins Jim Sullivan Tref Trefethen Don Steele Randall Cox Henry Whitmore Clarence McDavitt Carl Schipper Herman Arenovski Dean Chamberlin Bill Barclay Joe Batchelder
This is pleasing to eyes of the GREAT SPIRIT and should stimulate activity among the rest of our noble tribe.
Who will be next to sit in the laps of the gods?
CHARLIE BISHOP,Chairman Reunion Committee.
We garnered few class notes at the Yale game—there just wasn't time for it, but en route home, we tried to connect faces with names and report the following '26ers as participants in the goal rush of '35: Bill Hughes of Boston, "Million dollar" Cleary, Jim "Lefty" Truesdale, Charlie Bishop, Art Seibold—all the way from Chicago,—Sandy Douglass, Snipe Esquerre, Harry Fisher, Jake Jacobus, Ed Simmons, Clarence McDavitt, Hal Marshall, Ed Fowler, George Peirce, Larry Wolff, "Emmet" Barclay, and Lloyd Sanford.
If our memory serves us correctly, we also learned that Bud and Aurine Holman have a daughter, Mary, four months old, and that Joe Batchelder was presented with a son on October 30, 1935.
But the most recent addition comes from Herb and Bert Darling, a blessed event on November 3, and Virginia Wilson Darling weighing six pounds, ten ounces. Herb adds the note from 1820 East High St., Springfield, Ohio, "See you at the Tenth."
Ken Hill '25 took time out from his own notes to pen the following:
"On August 10, Geo. WinfielcL Scott married Margaret E. Steidinger at St. Francesof Assist church, New York City. Also L. P.White '25 went to Poughkeepsie on October5 to be best man for Art Wollenhaupt, whomarried Esther Beardsley of that city.Frosty Howland and wife went to the wedding from Springfield, where Frosty is putting in a new accounting system for the Aand P.
"We probably had the best Ioth on record and I wish you lots of luck on yours."Sincerely,
"KEN HILL '25."
After a silence of many years, Jack McIlwraith as vice-president of the Associated Box Corporation, New Castle, Pa., writes.
"Just to let you know that Jean Park(Smith '56) arrived on September 30. If mymemory fails me not, that puts me two upon you. While I realize that you have awell-earned reputation as a strong finisher,I still calls it a comfortable lead.
"This is rather much of a Princeton town—and what should I do about it? I'm askingfor 10 points or 9-5, but since last week Ican't find any takers.
"A llus,
"JACK."
Skipping the reputation part, we will say we have received 13 points on the Princeton game.
Try and top this one from George Tully, who wrote Bill Hughes on the reunion as follows:
"You had better put me on salary. Youasked me to contact three people—Hanson,Harrington, and Tilton. My first effortfound two out for the evening and the thirddidn't answer. This doesn't mean I'mthrough, but I may not get a chance towrite again. I have a busy week because I'mknocking off Saturday for the game (Harvard); (2) I'm going to be best man andchief bottle-washer Friday, and in this lastjob I have to secure the license, etc., for thegroom is out of town. Why, I even had tosee the minister tonight and I have to goback again, so that lets me out for Fridaynight and the class dinner.
"As for the reunion in June, I will bethere, but so far as helping you beyondthose I know, I'm not so hot at arousingenthusiasm. That I couldn't stand from aphysical point of view, for I'm a real sissynow even to the point of wearing glasses. IfI can help you in any other way let meknow and if I don't like the job you giveme I'll tell you to go to hell and take itback.
"Belovedly,
"GEORGE."
Ed Emerson, headmaster o£ the Emerson School for Boys in Exeter, N. H., writes regarding Charlie Abbe, who passed away several years after our graduation. I have also received a letter from Mrs. Abbe, Charlie's mother, the contents of which I am sure will be of interest to the class. A book called "Hill Wind" will be published this month, and will contain letters and verses written by Charlie during his life in Hanover. Mrs. Abbe has told me that she knows of the great impression which Dartmouth made upon Charlie, and I am sure that many will find joy in reading a book by one of our classmates whose verse and letters remain to endear him to us.
Sid Hayward sends along some fine let- ters which he has received during his solici- tation for subscribers to the ALUMNI MAGA- ZINE. While the number who have signed up for the MAGAZINE is not encouraging, 103 graduates and 8 non-grads, making a total of 111, let's hope many more will send in their subscription to get all the dope on reunion and get all the dope on that great victory in the Bowl during November.
Canfield Hadlock has written a fine letter to Sid, but I am not going to print it in full, keeping much of it for the 10th year report, when, as, and if issued. Had writes that after two years teaching at Hanover, two years of industrial research, and three years of graduate study at M. I. T. which culminated in a Ph.D. degree in 1933, he entered the employ of the Du Pont Company in Wilmington as chemical engineer.
He adds, "There are three other '26 menhere. I see quite a bit of Frank Knowles,who is supervisor of one of the dye plantsat the dye works across the river. He is married and has two fine boys. Ed Steele is oneof the rising young barristers in town, andCharlie Munson one of the better youngdoctors. Ed and I still persist in beingbachelors. By the way, I made a seriousbreak when I failed to mention Tomlierlihy, the secretary of our alumni organization. He is one of the stauncher members of the Republican party in Wilmington, and I believe one of the more active.I am really not up to date on these extracurricular activities of young lawyers.
"With best wishes,"CANFIELD HADLOCK."
Monk Bourne, on stationery of the Farmers Automobile Exchange, 649 South Olive St., Los Angeles, Calif., writes as district manager that he has just opened his office and is working hard to make a go of it. Best luck, Monk, and don't forget the 10th.
Ed McClintock from Bartlesville, Okla., sends along his subscription for the MAGAZINE and adds, "We have an announcementfor the class notes—our son, Thomas LambMcClintock, was born July 21 at St. John'sHospital, Tulsa, a fine, healthy boy who,already has far more hair on his head thanhis father has.
"I have been saying for several years thatnothing was going to keep me away fromour Tenth Reunion. I hope that I can stickto my guns on that score, although when itturns hot here in June and our business getsgood, it's exceedingly difficult to breakaway. Still I can fly back and not be goneso very long, so maybe you'll see me yet.
"Sincerely yours, "EDW. MCCLINTOCK."
Swell idea, Ed, and hope you make it. Why not contact Hoffman and Starrett to fly with you?
Art Smith sends along word that he's going to do his best to make the 10th. Ed Chaffin reports, "There isn't any great newsexcept that John St. Clair and I are livingtogether, both selling advertising, both unmarried and doing our best to maintainthe proper dignity for the class of 1926."
