Class of 1910
United Presser Sid Whipple kept 1910 on the front pages during the Hauptmann trial, and now good ol' "May" Teall, barrister-of-note, keeps the class there in the famous "Mellon Tax Battle-of-Millions"
.... as a Mellon lawyer. Maynard's picture occupies prominent space alongside Andrew W.'s in the papers, and the lad sure does not look much older than he did a coupla decades ago E. Pierce, Swift's leather expert, is mid-westing again Big Shot Whit Eastman of Milwaukee, director of Archer-DanielsMidland Cos., is listed in financial papers as holding "4,525 shares of common of the company, December 31" ... . you Q. H. (Quotation Hounds) look that up some morning Butterman H. Benjamin of Pipestone sez, "The depression in itselfhas no huge bearing on our butter, aspeople eat more at less price." .... 25Years-Track-Coach Harry Hillman puts Clarke Tobin on his All-Time N. Y. Track Team as a shot-putter .... with his present wgt., wind, and bridge-joints, we sorter opine Harry made a mistake . . . . he orter called "Tobe" a "short-putter" .... and let N. J.-1910-Jackson-PorterForristall decide the issue on a Hanover green "Calif. Squeaks" is looking for Guy Spokesfield (so are we) Hank Haserot (pronounced Haser-ooo) is shock-absorbing for the New Deal, which is pronounced "Raw Deal" in the best "Pineappil Circles." You know we have one darn smart gazeboo in 1910, and that's Gay Gleason, a legal man who specialized in liability insurance, is recognized as an authority on the subject, and is counsel for Employers' Liability .... if you need any information on compulsory auto insurance, write that boy .... he's smart School master Rollie Reynolds gave up a lecture trip to the Rockies to attend our 25th in June .... you can hear him on nation-wide radio hookups occasionally .... he knows as much about education as Gay Gleason does about insurance. 'T ain't often you can stick old Dr. Foster of Me., but B'Gum, Ted Smith of Havana did just that to Doc and your Sec'y .... we knowing Yank Talk better than Spanish can't quite make out what's happened in the Maria and Theodore section of the "Habana" Smith Family .... but my document (we ain't speaking for any Me. medico man now) says "invitan a usted al matrimonio," and here and there we kinder suspect that Ted's daughter Anita was getting married on Feb. 17 to Bernardo Solis Jr there's a lot of other wording, but reading Spanish is just as hard to us as readin' Pineo Jackson's and Doctor Foster's handwriting .... the latter is bringing our adopted classmate, Dr. James A. Spalding '66, aged 89, to the 25th .... which will be a joy to us all who remember most pleasantly that he was just about the liveliest member of the class five years ago.
WILKINSON DOES IT
Winsor Wilkinson has done it ... . San Francisco "Squeaks" contains, "None otherthan one of the two elegible 1910 PacificCoast bachelors, Winsor Wilkinson, Capt.of his CCC troop located at King City" .... married Feb. 25 to Mabel Florence Wilinson at Berkeley Congratulations, "Wilk," and bring her East in June. ....

Ben, by the way, has two sons in Dartmouth .... Roger, a junior, is doing a good job scholastically, and Ben Ames Jr., a freshman, got 3.6 (4. is perfect) the first semester .... the younger is an aviation enthusiast and keeps his own plane at the White River airport, we are told .... but just take another squint at that Three-Point-Six .... returning to the interview, Ben recalled the days when it "was possible to eat for $3.50 per week" and the "particular time when he and his roommate fed themselves for the sum of $1.16 each per week while living in a fraternity house." .... These old-home papers do us good. .... "Lefty" West, formerly of N. H., reads in his old-home-towner where Governor's Councillor T. Leonard is on the Council committee that looks after the State Prison, and thinks that is a hot place to have a lawyer "Lefty" is coming to Hanover in June Ralph Paine's son, Morris, chose for his Christmas vacation economics assignment a survey of the U. S. Rubber Co.'s big footwear, 6000 employees, plant at Naugatuck, managed by Walter Norton Ralph writes, "Morris reported a fine reception . ... a wonderful plant .... make about everything that can be made out of rubber.... keep abreast, or a little ahead, of avery fast-changing industry Walteris ace-high .... and a happy endingwith the paper receiving an 'A'." ....

FLORIDA NOT HARD TO LIVE IN
Marion and I have been down here in Florida four months (living in the same apartment Doc Foster occupied a few years ago) .... it is not a hard place to live in during the winter, weather mostly like July and August at home, not as good this winter as last .... we're now on two canes, having discarded the crutches about two weeks ago .... and if we're not mistaken, we're headed right this time, after having paid wages to 10 M. D.'s, 3 X-rayexperts, 5 dentists, 2 eye men and 3 osteopaths in the last 4 years .... and as much as we've been pawed and pictured, thumped and cut into, we're all for these fellers .... the best ones don't claim to know it all, but they'll sit down and reason it out with you, and sorter let you see how they plan the next step .... their knowledge and books go just about so far in some cases, and then it's guesswork, but their guesses are good enough for us .... and we like and respect highly good doctors .... just look at 1910's fine list, Geo. Allen, Wes Hunt, T. T. Huntington, Hal Hyde, Frank Meleney, Tom Foster, Thayer Smith, Henry Larson, Ken Phelps, Harold Winchester Wonders never cease .... we received a swell letter from Johnny Mitchell, principal Lakewood (Ohio) High School .... first in five years "Tax" wishes that he had a son to go to Dartmouth, but his "son Johnturned out to be daughter Jean .... asweet little girl who can sure hit that oldball. She can make any of the n-yr-oldsons sit up and take notice for nine' innings. Thirty years from now I hope to senda good pitcher, a grandson, to Dartmouth. . . . 'Scotty' lives in Walla Walla, Wash.,and is a brand-new grandfather" . . . .
Jean would team up slick with Walter Norton's Nancy, who knows more baseball now than the old man ever did
N. H. born Al Meehan hits the nail from Stuttgart, Ark., "I feel that this may be myone reunion in a lifetime, atid that if I donot make this one, I am likely to becounted out before an equally potent urgewill exist in me again." .... And "Cheever" Comey, still holding a commission in the Air Corp, is coming to the reunion, "If the present labor unrest calmsdown." .... Chas. Gibson, So. Ryegate, Vt., quarry magnate, types a nice letter on a typewriter "that has to be cussed to operate" .... "Gib" says "Now for the 25th!I am expecting to be in Hanover unlesshitch-hiking and thumb-riding are entirely abolished before June." .... Nate Sherman's son, Vining, is on freshman track team .... other day we ran into Johnny Hobbs, bank and real estate tycoon of Mass., at Miami Biltmore, vacationing .... a coupla minutes afterwards we met Bob Jackson, Wash. Democrat of note .... then my brother John stumbled into his Pelham neighbor, Jerome Beatty, the author .... and before we left the dining room Harold Foreman stopped at our table for a greeting .... that's Florida .... we chew the fat with Dr. Bowler occasionally .... he says that Nate Sherman is Dartmouth's greatest all-time sprinter .... whenever he flunked a man in "Smut," he always went over his paper with him .... can you remember how he used to call cigarettes "coffin nails" .... well, the young feller can smoke with the best of them these days ....

"Rusty" leads pretty nice sort of life, being clerk of his church, boys' Sunday school teacher for 6 years, active in Masons, and on the Selective Process committees to interview Dartmouth prospects .... and will continue to go to New Haven each year with the fond hope of seeing a victory Jack Dingle, Chicago insurancer, is on a trip to Honolulu and Fiji Islands .... his son, John, was prevented by appendicitis operation from showing his basketball worth at Hanover this winter, but you'll be hearing from the boy in another season.
CLASS CONSTITUTION
This poor old document is in a messy state .... at last reunion less than half of the prescribed officers were elected . . . . nomination of officers seems to be confusing .... also any constitutional changes .... we haven't a copy down here, but are seeking additional information from Pres. Pineo, who supplied the above .... but anyway, you lads better be getting our successors lined up.
YOUR 25TH!
Chairman Billy Williams, who is considered one of the best bridge players in Chicago, is getting matters well lined up.
