Class of 1910
Dr. Geo. Allen rated newspaper publicity by having pansies in bloom in his Mont pelier, Vt., rock garden on Thanksgiving pay .... not every flower fancier can equal that accomplishment .... Some of you guys who wallowed and wept your ways through college never knew the other side of a bedeviled professor's life .... thanks to our own Mike Elliott, an eminent psychologist (to you that means one who tries, but never succeeds in knowing the complexities of a student's brain, or the vacuum where it ought to be), we are able to let you in on something .... Mike pens in a pretty good hand for an educator, "Believe me, exams are as much the bane of aprof's life as of his self-styled victims" .... if some of you Dumb Clucks had known that half a century of semesters ago, we might have made life more tolerable for "Tubby" Barton and "Harmony" Morse .... at that, we opine some smart fellers like Alpheus D. Crosby, L. Bankart, and C. Walworth Tobin got quite a lot out of "Music 1" .... we didn't .... Freshman-Cross-Country-Winner H. Robinson, w.k. missionary, has been transferred to North China, where he and Mrs. R. are in charge of a school that has 67 students, most of them being children of missionaries .... "Robbie" writes that political conditions are comparatively quiet in that neck of the world, with Japan trying to dig in through advancing economic and industrial conditions rather than through military means .... in other parts of China there is much evidence of progress along industrial and economic lines, and the central government is seemingly working together better than at most any time since "Robbie" went there years ago .... Harold Jr. is headed for Dartmouth next fall .... "Southpaw" West, operator of the Erie R. R., is coming to Hanover in June .... as are Nicholas Carter and H. Benjamin of Minn., the state of "farm-labor" politics, curtailed hogs, and a great football club (latter publicized by 1910's Tom Steward) .... thanks to Russ Meredith, we have a clipping showing that Tommie Leonard got James Roosevelt free from a speeding charge at the Nashua court with a guilty plea and $10 fine .... Councillor Leonard of N. H. with the good wife will be on hand for the 25th "from the start to the close," and suggests "I think that we betternot fight the Battle of Lookout Mountainagain. I think that we better start another war ourselves, and have some action . . . . I will play golf during theReunion with any member of the class whoconsiders himself a good golfer, and willbeat him if I am able. If any memberwishes to know how good he is before then,I will invite him, one and all, to stop atmy place in Nashua, and try me for around." .... Tommie's letter rings with true Democracy, and it is a help to know that "The old spirit liveth" .... RubberMan W. Norton of Conn, claims that he can beat Thomas at anything excepting yarn-telling and ski-jumping .... he nominates Leonardo McClintock for the former, and Larry Bankart for the latter
.... by the way, Walt may come to Florida this winter .... also Mr. Leonard.
I SEE WHERE "Heinie" Barrett has been admitted to partnership in the nationally known accounting firm, Ernst & Ernst .... Les Wiggin is working in a Washington department store .... Charlie Libbey has been in Hanover a lot recently .... "Wilk," Capt. of the CCC at Camp Arroyo Seco, King City, Calif., is coming East for the reunion in June .... Julius Warren, for a good-looking man, takes a funny profile (we rather see him head on) .... Sid Whipple (thanks to Mac Kendall) is writing some feature articles on the Lindbergh kidnapping for the United Press .... these Tenners have new addresses: Allen Doggett, 1902 Cortelyou Rd., Brooklyn; Ernest Cushman, 3420 Nassau St., Everett, Wash.; Harry Sandberg, 29 W. 57th St., New York .... Burt Miller, 846 Warren St., Albany; Hoitt Charlton, 60 Exeter St., Wollaston, Mass.; Dud Kohler, 706 Columbus Ave., New York; Harold Robinson, No. China American School, T'unghsien, Peiping East, China; Adolph Bresler, 181 Hazel Ave., Highland Park, Ill Art Bucknam, Walsh School principal, Waterbury, Conn., is active in Boy and Girl Scout work, and prominent in Connecticut teachers' organizations .... Earle Pierce followed Dartmouth football closely last fall, as usual .... President Pineo is a close friend of "Mutt" Ray's (Dartmouth fighting center) father .... "Eck" Hiestand is all puffed up over becoming a Grand-Pop (we don't know all of the G-Pops in the class but we rather think that Ice Cream Magnate Bushway out-dates the bunch) .... and DID YOU KNOW that "Bones" Jones, Shattuck executive, has been appointed "rounder-up" for the reunion in Boston-Town .... that Chem. Prof. Andy Scarlett had reserved Middle Fayerweather for headquarters .... that Treas. Judd needs money for class dues; in part would be mighty acceptable, if not in full .... Address, H. L. Judd, Box 2624, Lakewood, Ohio.
WE'D LIKE some news about Phil Brooks, Doug Mower, Rusty Williams, Scott Perry, Dallas Smith, Dusty Craft, Heinie Reed, Tom Heneage, Guy Perry, John Cassidy, John Hobbs, and half a hundred other silent Tenners .... who can help us?
Prominent Man Charlie Noone of Chattanooga sure can hit home with his Christmas messages .... "Fidelity to yourself,your friends, your family, and your country demands that you follow the old American custom of fighting it out .... Oneman's joy may be another man's sorrow.... Individual peace of mind is a prerequisite to happiness .... Monetary success may not mean happiness .... Don'tfeel sorry for yourself .... Boredom usually results from the failure of one to usethe mind with which God endowed him. ... A valiant man is respected when acoward is despised" .... Through the Fine-Eyetalian-Hand of Pineappil Hank, Julius Warren, moved to Mass., will remain "in his perennial office of second vice,presidefit of the Cleveland Alumni Club" .... Fred Batchellor is with Vultex Chemical of Cambridge, Mass., but resides at 58 Barrow St., New York City . . . . John Clough lives in Memphis, Tenn. .... in alumni activities we find Chan Baxter and "Easty" on the Alumni Council; Hank Haserot, vice-president of the General Association, your Secretary being on the executive committee; Karl Maerker, secretary of Western Penn.; Scott Perry, President of Buenos Aires; Pineo Jackson, president of Newark and Northern New Jersey clubs, and vice-president of New York; Harold Robinson, president of North China; Cliff Lyon, president of Holyoke; Art Bucknam arriving in Hanover after a 25 years' absence found many changes since he left the place in charge of "Skeet" Tibbetts and Jake Bond .... old watering tub gone .... Hellgate swallowed up ... . beer on sale in the Grill . . . . the old Ad Building and College Church vanished .... Baker Library with its easy chairs and ash trays and frescoes .... new Chem building in place of Culver, where he (and others we know) concocted some devilish gasses in belief that he knew more about chemical mixtures than was laid down in the directions to follow .... we have been requested to review the Fayerweather fire on its 25th anniversary in next issue of the MAGAZINE in place of. our regular "25 Years Ago," which we will try to do with help of Andy Scarlett and other refugees from what could have been a terrible tragedy.
"Micky" Holmes footballed all fall, winding up with the Princeton game, and at last reports was trying to skate with his youngsters .... it is possible, and we'd almost say probable, that young Steve Holmes will transfer to Dartmouth next fall, where he belongs .... these Holmes got no business going anywhere else, anyway .... they belong up in Hanover where Att'y Bob and Oil Man Max Lucius paved the way .... Anybody seen Ted Hill since he got married? .... Ed Shattuck (of Calif.) is added to those limbering up their joints with bear's oil for the reunion .... this man, Ernest Unangst, is due back also .... Joe Davidson sent us a beautiful picture of San Xavier Mission, founded 169 a, which he sees daily from his Tucson home .... we need class news .... the larder is empty .... please get busy.
Each year we receive several letters from men not in our class who seem to like our class efforts .... these, as well as suggestions and criticisms, are always welcome .... we try to put as much in life as we take out but don't always succeed . . . . some try to take out more than they put in but don't always succeed, either . . . . somehow, we like to go our own little way, take what is for us to take, give what we can, and sort of plod along with faith, cour age and an occasional kindly thought and word.
YOUR 25th IN JUNE!
Are you planning for it? Each man can have only one 25th in a lifetime. Our headquarters will be at Fayerweather . with a big yard, and shade trees, and chairs where old days will be re-lived again, the present discussed, and hopes built for the future .... no friendships can ever surpass Dartmouth friendships .... let's all get back in June, someway, somehow!
Secretary, 168 Hill St., Barre, Vt.
