Class of 1910
What a week-end! Al Meehan, Tom Heneage, Geo. Davies, and Clarke Tobin will all be there. Unless we are mistaken, we are going to have the doggonedest kerlection of human beings Hanover Plain ever saw .... prodigals and fossils, dogcatchers and merchants, hill-billies and sourdoughs, literati, theorists, and Tommie Leonards .... as good a crew as ever took Math. 1 or ate a Commons "Combo a" ... . and human as kindly old souls, can be. What a week-end!
Chattanooga Att'y Charlie Noone drove down from Delray one day recently for a fine little visit .... hadn't seen him for many years .... changed some, but not so much, from freshman year when Gil Frost examined the hockey injury obtained at Faculty Pond and said, "Go home, myboy- You haven't long to live." .... Chas. slipped one over on the world, and has been going strong since those 57 weeks in bed ... • he'll try for the reunion
Joe Kinney, who played left field on the N. Y. Dartmouth Bridge team that won the Intercollegiate Club Title during the winter, got his annual spring hair cut, and is all set for the 14-15-16-17, that is, if he don't catch cold Dick Hursh is Big Shot for Kingsport Press, book mfrs "Buck" Allen is building a new auditorium and gymnasium for his very successful Rivers School watch for Ray Cutler, first time in Hanover since 10th .... and George Davies, who's never been back since graduation Icecreamer Howard Bushway may fly up with his 18-year-old son, who just received his pilot's license "Bush" (not to be confused with Alfalfa "Bush" Kingsford, our old medical director and excooser-of-cuts) is getting to be a pretty old man, but he's hooked up to golf with Andy Scarlett, and if he escapes that Hanover golf buzzard with a pint of ice cream left, he's just plain good .... Julius Warren, who is making good as Newton's superintendent of schools, was a principal speaker at National Education Association meeting, Atlantic City .... a little later he spoke before the Harvard Teachers' Association in Cambridge Charlie Libbey's son, Harrison, has one of the Commencement parts at Hanover, "Address to the College."
A man who plays successfully with one hobby is to be admired, but a man who has two real hobbies is to be downright envied .... such a fellow is our own "Liz" Prescott, insurance expert of Laconia, N. H "Liz" collects stamps, an absorbing thing to do once it grips a person .... and raises orchids with a friend ... . . they have 375 plants .... greenhouse .... very slow getting started .... experience now helpful in moderately expanding program .... some day we're going to call and so should all flowerloving Tenners in that section Herb Coar is living at Kingston, Mass. .... his dad has just returned from a four months' lecture tour in Germany. .... Walter Norton's U. S. Rubber plant at Naugatuck is turning out 100,000 pairs of rubber shoes daily in addition to some "rubber" bathing suits .... within the confines of our memory, Bob MacPherson's Hockey "D" is the first major letter to be won by a Tenner's son at Dartmouth, and the lad is worthy of it, too, but unless x plus y equals z, which L. Bankart and us couldn t make it do in fall of 'O6, we know another Tenner's boy who is headed for a big baseball "D," just as sure as the chapel bell ropes were cut one dark and stormy night while we were in college, and that is our own "Ceasar" Young's 175 lb., 6 ft. son "Jimmy," who is labeled in conservative Brooklyn Daily Eagle's double column set-up as the pitching half of the "best battery" well-known Brooklyn Poly Prep ever had .... the lad belongs to Dartmouth, and "Caesar" wants him there.
June 14-15-16-17 Fri.-Sat.-Sun.-Mon,
G. Underwood, who was in Hanover Feb. 27-28 to see if the College was still there, will be on hand, as he has never missed a reunion, same as some of us other boys .... but that don't mean a thing, for there are some guys coming back after long, long absences who will give us a run for delight in being there .... and at the same time there are some fine fellows who just can't be there, who are just as enthusiastic, just as loyal Dartmouth men as any who will be there .... and our thoughts are going to turn their way more than once .... our feelings, our hearts will be with them .... come if you can, but whether you are there or not, you will still be one of the gang.
Aforementioned Mr. Underwood is a swimming enthusiast, and follower of Gardner High swimming team coached by his Dartmouth brother-in-law 01' Bill Woolner has written us, first time in 25 years, that he has emerged from one busy, globe-trotting, successful career .... Bill's thoughts leave his multiple duties with the Boston Envelope Co. and turn Dartmouthward, wondering where his two roommates, Chet Coffin (in business) and Francis Morrissey (teacher), are, what the other fellows are doing, how life is treating everyone, etc Bill certainly should come back in June, and give us a chance to see the Tenner who has manufactured shoes, Lever-Bros.-soaped, Europed, peregrinated around the world, collapsed and jailed with Cuban sugar, and what not, settling down with Boston Envelope in 1921. . . . Thayer Smith, N. J. doctor of note, is bringing his whole family to the reunion, and what a challenge to C. Fay, H. Wolff, and J. Everett .... the whole reunion, in "Liz" Prescott's words, centers around "companionship in being together again rather than doing something strenuous in way of entertainment. .... Dick Vincens, Johnny Shambow, and "Pip" Cowan should be looked up along with Bill Harlow, Ote Crafts, Bill Grant, and Ralph Taylor "Easty" gets a full-page special article in Milwaukee Journal, "Magic Bean of Orient Outdoes Jack and His Beanstock" .... soy beans, oil, paint, H. Ford, chicken feed, biscuits, celluloid, enamel, spaghetti Messrs. Ford and Eastman see a great future for the lowly bean .... we're sending the article to Hanover for preservation, just as we do with everything else that has been printed about or by Tenners .... 19m has given over $53,000 to the Alumni Fund in years gone by, only exceeded by wealthy 1879, the "giving" class of 1900, and 191 I'S $59,000 .... take a look at the varsity baseball club of our senior year .... it's with "25 Years Ago" .... sorter brings back some memories, doesn't it? ... . Allen Dorr and wife, Margaret G. Sizer, married last year and honeymooned in Europe, now living in Pittsfield, Mass. . . . . "Killie" Nicol, Chicago butter-and-egg man, will soon be seen in the Chicago Merchandise Exchange Bill Deer- ing had charge of one of the teams in the Rotary spring golf tournament at Augusta .... personally, we can't believe that he is much of a golf ball swatter Joe Davidson is now living at Amarillo, Texas. .... Abiel Wood has traveled far in Masonry at Worcester, and is very active in it. .... Vining Sherman and Richard Higbee are representing 1910 on the Dartmouth freshman track team "Heinie" Hyde's passing was a great shock to the class and1 his many friends, and we all mourn his death .... we can do no better than pass on "Bunny" Armstrongs words, "A grand guy, bright, cheery, kind .... genial ways and smiling chuckles .... the only and original 'Hyde-Boy.' " Don't forget Andy Scarlett and the Alumni Fund Hiram Norton, Worcester's insurancer with receding redhair, is driving a brand-new Dodge around town, reflecting his entry into the bondholder class Percy Jim Nourse (Percy to you privileged guys who've begun using Bear Oil on your jts.) is Hanoverin' in June Marion and I came up with Dr. Bowler and his good wife on the boat from Miami to N. Y., they're great company Dr. John and I discussed everything from Jess Hawley as one of Dartmouth's best early gymnasts to Russ Palmer, the record-breaking high-jumper; Olympic Nate Sherman; Ben Lang's hands; Jack Marks' powerful thighs; the fine old institution, "Smut" lectures, where the intricacies of "peristalsis" went over your heads, and the labeling of cigarettes as "coffin-tacks" in one dumb ear and out the other Gee, it was a swell lot of reminiscences, living in the past, to be sure, but not at all suggestive of senility .... that guy's 70, getting a well-merited retirement, and orter live to be 100 ... an orderly life based on his teachings, and he has given his best to Dartmouth for some 34 years.... the College owes him much.
APPRECIATION
Let me express my sincere appreciation of the splendid support which the class has given me during the past five years .... without it, our efforts would have failed .... we've tried to do a good job, but not always doing our best .... you're a pretty good bunch, for the most part some improved over the old Math I days of 1906 I ought not to tell you this for Lennie McClintock and "Obbie" Coleman'll go and get kinder swell-headed . . . . anyway, we'll be seem' you on
June 14-15-16-17 Fri.-Sat.-Sun.-Mon.
"You men are at your peak, your prime. Your number is still full. You have had only a few tragedies and losses. You are still 'young,' ready to have a grand time, and capable of enjoying it. Never again will you an experience to equal it. And you will have a good time, the best and richest you ever had. Get back there somehow. Don't miss it!" .... Billy Williams, Reunion Chairman.
Secretary, 168 Hill St., Barre, Vt. June 14-15-16-17 Fri.-Sat.-Sun.-Mon.
