Class of 1925
We are pleased to report that we received such splendid co-operation in the matter of news items for this month's column that we passed some of the dope along to Bob McKennan who has included it in the various bulletins you have been receiving during the last few weeks. Life is not often so easy for your struggling scribe. Can it be the spring?
Right now everyone is all steamed up over reunion and from the influx of cards there is no question but that '25 is going to put over one of the biggest Tenths in years. Your committee has practically completed the arrangements and I can assure you they have planned a never-to-be-forgotten get-together on the week-end of June 14-16.
The Tiger Lyon's of Waukegan, Illinois, announce the arrival of Whitney Reed Lyon on March 8, 1935—their second son.
Had a letter from Bud Petrequin who is driving up to the Tenth with Dick Taylor and Ben Werntz .... Incidentally, the latter individual has been studying law and expects to pass his Ohio bar exams this June The Chicago contingent of 1925 held its second 1935 party re. cently at the Petit Gourmet, with some 24 in attendance. Karl King manipulated a movie machine and produced not only a Metro-Goldwyn film of Dartmouth but also the famous Coffin films of the 1924 Tenth Reunion. It is reported that all those present turned in cash or pledges to the Alumni Fund agents Conrad and King. Bob Loomis substituted for Henry Parker as delegate and ringer from 1926. Needless to say plans for the Tenth went forward. T'obey, Montgomery, Tom Carpenter and Chuck Babcock were in the assembly, the latter announcing the proposed transfer of his residence to Minneapolis or St. Paul. Drennie Slater gave his classmates his views on the Illinois General Assembly, and finally, plans were made for an outdoor party in late May or early June, as a final event before the trek to Hanover. .... Norm Smith has recently been elected vice-president of the Osborn Mfg. Co., Shaker Heights, 0., and is living at 2815 Ludlow Road that city. He was formerly connected with one of the company's subsidiaries in New York City. .... A doleful letter from Win Rice, announcing his inability to take in reunion as at that time (he hopes) he will be exploiting Gay Paree! Win has been teaching at Syracuse University since 1926. There are two future Dartmouth RicesWin, Jr. '48 and Richard '52. Stu Edgerly is located in the English department of the same university Dr. Bob Reading is building himself a fine practice in Cleveland and has recently made himself rich and famous through a Chicken Pox Epidemic in that fair city Deak Blodgett reports seeing Herb Talbot, another practicing—and prospering—physician, located in East Orange, N. J., and father of a grand year-and-a-half-old son. .... Gus Evarts is in the office of the Travelers Insurance Co. and living in Mt. Vernon, N. Y., while Carl Smith is another one of the gang in the insurance business in New York Al Wilson wrote in recently and is looking forward to seeing the old crowd at the Tenth. Al is now auditor of the Georgia Warm Springs Foundation, Inc. at Warm Springs, Georgia—a promotion since last we heard from him—and is a recent bridegroom, having married Miss Maude C. Hudson of Columbia, South Carolina, on March 23rd. They are now at home at Pine Roads, Warm Springs Frank Wallace has recently been appointed Club Manager of the Orchard Lake Golf and Country Club of Pontiac, Michigan.
Just one final word—if this reaches you before June 14th and you have not already started, grab your hat and head for Hanover. Anything else can be attended to later but it will be five long years before another reunion and there will never be another Tenth. See you up there!
Secretary, 67 Milk St., Boston
