Class of 1926
Most everyone is aware by now that the class agents of the Alumni Fund are busily engaged in trying to put 1926 at the top of the list. We feel sure that the cause for which this fund is used needs no comment, but we would like to point out that the effort of the class agents is to obtain as many contributions as possible regardless of the amount. The greatest impetus for members of the class to send in their contributions came last week, and I hurriedly pass it on to you in the hope that if you have not sent in your check you will do so after this message reaches you. Mr. and Mrs. Leslie Waggener of Dallas, Texas, have forwarded to the Alumni Fund a gift to be made through the class of 1926 in memory of Leslie, our classmate. Mr. and Mrs. Waggener never fail to demonstrate their confidence and living interest in the members of our class and also their material aid in assisting the College in these times of stress. So it is, that while this column takes no part in the active Alumni Fund campaign, we feel that the acts of Mr. and Mrs. Waggener should serve to stimulate our own interest.
FRED WENCK GETS VOTES
Word comes that Freddie Wenck has gone political in that he is soliciting votes for a new member of the Alumni Council. Among other things he says, "I've beenEast so little in the last jew years that I'vealmost completely lost touch with the NewYork gang, As for my own well-being, I'mstill happily single, and, as you might deduce from the letterhead, busily engagedextolling the virtues of the 57 Varieties.My health, as usual, is fine and my waistline not nearly as bad as you'd expect considering we've had beer for two years now.Give my best to all the boys you see. NateParker sends his best."
Bleek Williams, 334 Clinton Place, Hackensack, New Jersey, sends along a letter on the Alumni Fund and states, "same joband happily married."
We note from the California Squeaks that Smith, Hoffman, and Nigh have been appointed to a job entitled "Committee on hopeful freshmen," by the new president of the Dartmouth Association of Northern California. Incidently Bill Nigh lost one appendix on Friday, April 26, which was found by W. W. Washburn '14. Apparently the insurance men are not the only ones to solicit the alumni.
A son, Donald Ward Bennett, was born on March 16th at Colfax, California, to the Don Bennetts. Everyone is fine and Don plans to move his family back to Boston this month. It is said that the new address will be 102 Ocean Street, Dorchester, Massachusetts.
1926 men in California are still travelling. Ritchie Smith is in Honolulu and Don Hoffman is reported on his way to California.
Charlie Singleton has been elected to the Board of Governors of the Dartmouth College Club of New York, and Edward Fenton, Jr. is reported as one of the new members of the club.
Incidently Charles Bishop, representing the Dartmouth Club of Northern New Jersey; Bob Cleary, representing a "million dollar" gift to the College; and yours truly are about to embark upon the annual trip to the secretaries meeting. To say that we are looking forward to this trip is putting it mildly.
New addresses have been received as follows:
Ralph B. Bristol, Parker House, Boston, Mass.; Hugh J. Moore, 1420 United Artists Building, Detroit; Nathan K. Parker, 282 Union Trust Building, Pittsburgh; Charles W. Abbott, 8 Tillinghast Place, Buffalo; Sylvester McGinn, 6 Autumn Street, Brookline, Mass.; Frederick F. Seely, Care Allegheny College, Meadville, Penn.; Robert B.
