Class of 1911
It is midwinter! Hanover is buried in three feet of snow. Christmas is over; the New Year is under way. Many pleasant Christmas and New Year greetings have been received from many classmates. The Secretary hereby inserts a card of thanks, and adds that he hopes that his ambition will last long enough to acknowledge them personally. Meanwhile he issues a blanket good wish to all members of the class who read this column and regrets that he had not sent greetings to all individually in advance.
Give attention to the New Year's suggestion made indirectly by Swede Needham. It has to do with a certain reunion, coming not this year, to be sure, but certainly next, although this year will furnish us an opportunity to make the resolution and to plan to be in attendance. Certainly few of us will ever again be able to attend another 25th Reunion. Here is what Swede says: "Every year I plan to attend at least onefootball game, but something always interferes. Put my name in the pot for our 25threunion—l won't tniss it."
In the same mail came this inquiry from Ed Poole: "Can you give me Swede Needham's present address? I haven't heard fromhim in a long while and want to write tohim.
"I had hopes of seeing you and some ofthe other Eleveners at the Yale game thisyear—but I went with a Yale man and saton the Yale side, so didn't have a chance tosee any of the gang. Great game—l hadhopes that we might do better in thePrinceton game, but better luck next year.
"Sorry I didn't see you in Hanover thissummer—had a chat with Bill Gooding andsaw the famous frescoes. I can't say that Ithink much of them." Needless to say, Swede's address was forwarded.
Back to Florida has gone Herb Clark, our purveyor of fruit. He is a shipper of fruits and vegetables in Boca Raton, Fla.
It may be that Harvard St., Lowell, Mass., has been extended. In any case Fred Harvey has moved from No. 68 to No. 89.
Lin-Yi Ho, who for a number of years has been associated with the China Travel Service, has entered the commercial field. Word from him gives us the information that he is now in the coal business. Apparently the coal business masquerades under the name of the Kailan Sales Agency. In case any 191 iers go Shanghaiing they probasly will find him glad to take tea with them at his home at 1729/31 Avenue Road, Shanghai, China.
One broker very much on the move is Mark Adams. Mark has a new office, Room 0406, 40 Wall St., New York City.
There is a new inducement for members of 1911 to join the Dartmouth Club of Boston, the particular reason being that the Association has engaged a dining room in the Parker House, where daily Dartmouth luncheons will be held. A special clay each week is being set aside for 1911. A canvass of the Boston alumni is being made to determine the best day, and announcement can be made in the next MAGAZINE of the .final arrangements so that all out-oftown 'liers will be able to drop in on a few classmates if they are in Boston at the right time.
We envy Art Gray in his opportunity to travel all over the West Coast and visit with the various 1911ners. Art sends a few words about a recent trip: "What? WeeKimball has just been with us on his annual trip. Spent last Sunday with Ray andCora Taylor at their ranch in Calistoga andtook Wee with us. Saw Tommy Atkins inPortland, Oregon, last summer."
Jim Conroy deserves our thanks for sending us a clipping about young Jack Ryan. It seems that young Jack has repeated last year's accomplishment of being named quarterback on the All-City High School Team of Milwaukee. According to the paper: "East Side High lays claim to unaerial circus of its own with young JackRyan as the expert marksman. Jack rifleda forty-yard touchdown pass against Custer,and raised the ante ten yards against Lexson last Saturday. Incidentally, the huskyyoungster is on his way to bigger and betterthings in football. He is there physicallyand mechanically and can spot the averageplayer four or five years ahead when itcomes to knowing what it is all about..... The price requisite of a quarterbackis generalship, and Ryan directed by far thesmartest attack of them all. He neverslipped up on an opportunity to score andshowed his real quality in the pinches. Inthe big games, Ryan struck fast and devastating blows when crucial situationsarose, and touchdowns were invariably theresult. He could kick, pass, receive passes,and carry the ball with the best of them,and his record of quarterbacking Eastthrough two undefeated seasons is unparalleled."
Two more men have qualified for the ALUMNI MAGAZINE, even though it may be suspected that to do so is somewhat of a sacrifice, since both have been upset by the depression—one being an engineer, and the other in the government service.
Clyde Locke says he just can't live without the MAGAZINE, although he has missed it for some time. Clyde, for the past year, has been engaged as an engineer conducting work relief organization in Buffalo,
Louis Hall is looking forward to a new connection since the government folded up his division of the Bureau of Domestic Commerce in New York City.
