Class of 1908
Dartmouths at Scarsdale (not on the Hudson) held a little reunion at the home of Gordon Blanchard one late in April evening. Larry Symmes accounted for the gathering in these words: "We had a Dartmouth get-together at Gordon Blanchard'shouse the other flight. Emmett Naylor '09,Anson McLoud '09, Fred Eaton 'll, and I.Naylor is a big shot in the writing paperindustry and Gordon works with him inthe New York office. Anson McLoud istreasurer of the village of Scarsdale. BothGordon and Mac are 'elders' in the Community church, which is 'something.'"
Art Burnie, vice-president and treasurer of the Beaver Valley Water Co., Beaver Falls, Pa., writes to let us know he reads 1908 notes as well as '05, '06, and '07.
From a source the subject of these remarks would never suspect, it was learned that Rosie Hinman patronized the various flying lines of the nation frequently the past season. From Carnival in Hanover to shorts at Miami was one of Rosie's ranges in one week. He explained to a new acquaintance, our informer, such jumps were easy—a 75-degree change in temperature mere child's play, if you knew how to take it.
The Dartmouth Hall fire of recent date left a far more impressive ruin than did the 1907 catastrophe on the same site. When 1908 landed in college, the Dartmouth Hall site was a big hole in the ground. So was the site of Webster Hall.
The bronze tablet on the corner stone of Dartmouth Hall bears the date "October 26, 1904." That's easy to remember, for the writer. He was 21 years old on that day and date.
Philip L. (Big Tommy) Thompson is treasurer of the Robert Fletcher Fund for the Thayer School of Civil Engineering. His address is No. 28 Broad St., New York. Freddie Munkelt is on the executive committee of the fund.
Jack Clark, the classmate who appears to be getting steadily better at painting while the rest of us are consistently getting worse at golf, was among the fortunates whose pictures submitted to the New York Water Color Club were accepted.
Crawford Hinman '37, son of Rosie '08, was among those tapped for Green Key on Hanover Plain recently.
Allan M. Perkins is reported in a roundabout way to be back in Greenwich ensconced at the Perkins country seat. He is now with Stein Bros. & Boyce, members of the New York Stock Exchange specializing in reorganization work.
Our anonymous "Who's Who" contributor, and the book we refer to is the real "Who's Who" published by the A. N. Marquis Publishing Co., 1934, adds this to his quotations in the April issue of the ALUMNI MAGAZINE: "In all fairness, itshould be said that a few other membersof our class might well go in, if the criteriacould be accurately evaluated; at least theydeserve it quite as much as the present incumbent! Some are entered in routinefashion because of office and academic position. Of course, there are several 'Who'sWhos' such as 'Who's Who Among American.can Authors,' 'Who's Who in the East.'*Who's Who in Pennsylvania,' etc., etc. Iknow from the time spent in filling outquestionnaires which almost makes memisanthropic."
Well, we'll throw all the No. 2 Who's Whoses out and give simply the 1908 entries for the Recognition Derby. Here they are in the order of their entrance to the charmed circle:
