Class of 1927
The annual Dartmouth-Harvard game dinner was held as usual at the University Club in Boston on Friday evening, October 25. Although there was not a very large number present, it was nevertheless, a very jolly party. Those attending were: Hal Low, Bill Spinney, Jay Willing, Phil Fowler, Charlie Bartlett, Bill St. Amant, Bob Dalrymple, Dinty Gardner, Joe Russakof, Bob Williamson, Bob Voorhis, Shorty Oliver, John Rintels, Bill Macaulay, and your Secretary.
The afternoon of the Yale game some four hundred alumni gathered at the Parker House in Boston to listen to a play- by-play report received by private wire. Among those present who seemed somewhat pleased at the results of the game were the following Twenty-seveners: Sykes Hardy, Jay Willing, Herb Hansen, Dinty Gardner, Bill North, Hale Ham, and yours truly. Dinty Gardner wore in his lapel a large four-leaf clover which he had found that morning while hunting. He claims that it is the first one he ever found, and the consensus of opinion seemed to be that it was that charm which finally broke the much publicised jinx. Inasmuch as you may have heard of one or two other bits of black magic that did the trick, we merely offer this one as a suggestion. Personally we feel that a well coached, smart, aggressive team had quite a lot to do with it.
Dr. Hale Ham. rather proudly informed us that he finally got her to say "yes," the "her" in the case being. Miss Fanny Chapin Curtis of Marblehead, Mass. and Smith College '3O. Miss Curtis besides being most attractive is reputed to be an excellent badminton player, and we can testify that she is about tops at ping-pong. Hammie says he hopes that wedding bells will ring sometime in the spring.
Bill North is now teaching at a private school in Beverly Farms, one of the more fashionable towns of Massachusetts' North Shore.
Rog Braman writes from Newport, R. L., with the serious accusation that we are not interested in our classmates who only (the "only" is his) become fathers of children of the fair sex. Nothing is further from the truth, and with due apologies for our tar- diness we take pleasure in announcing the arrival of Edith Laurie Braman on May 24'
At the risk of still being accused of overemphasizing the male births in our class, we wish to announce the arrival of Samuel Boles Bartlett, born on October 14, and making the second son in the Bartlett family.
Al Byrne is living in Newark, N. J., where he is working as district superintendant for Northern New Jersey for the Postal Telegraph Cable Company.
Bob Bliss is now assistant publisher of the Gazette, daily paper of Janesville, Wis. This PaPer also owns and operates radio station WCLO, and is reputed to be the outstanding small city newspaper and radio station in the country. After graduating, Bob spent a year in Boston in the national advertising department of the Herald, and then returned to Janesville, where he spent two years writing in the editorial department of the Gazette. In September, 1930, Bob was married to Miss Carolyn C. Crandell of Taunton, Mass., and they now have two children, Cynthia age three, and Crandell age two.
The front page of the Painesville Telegraph on Wednesday, November 6, carried a picture of Charles P. Baker Jr., along with the following head lines and articles:
