Frank Dodge writes; "We have heardfrom several members of the class whohave told us they were looking forward toa visit here in June, and this makes us allvery happy."
It is Major Chase to the boys in khaki, but Heine to us, the rise in rank being a recent one. Heine writes; "Pat Hurley andI get together now and then. Will not leaveHawaii until June, therefore regrets at notbeing able to make Reunion."
Still from the Army, Major Russ Patterson complains about 170 below zero weather at Fort Hayes in Columbus, Ohio. A greater regret is that he is under tentative orders to go to the Philippines this summer, but if sailing is late enough, he will- probably come to the Jubilee by airplane, as time will be very limited. He adds: "Katharine and I send our bestgreetings to the class and its better halves."
William Taylor has moved £rom Harvard, Mass., to 66 Kent Ave., East Providence, R. I. Bill is hoping to return in June.
A great event has occurred: Leonard Hoefler has given his. first sample of handwriting to the Secretary of the class. He will be at Reunion with his wife and son, George, and incidentally will witness the graduation of his son, Leonard Jr. He adds: "I hope IC/II hits an all-time highrecord for class attendance at reunions."
Jack Bartlett will vary his itinerary to Hanover in June by leaving from a new address; namely, 315 Buffalo Ave., Niagara Falls.
In an envelope bearing the card, Mustard & Cos., Ltd., Manila, Philippine Islands, comes the following word from Clarence Holden: "May be able to attend the25th. If in U. S. A. will surely come. Itwould be my first visit to Hanover since 1left college. Am still located in Far East,headquarters, Shanghai, in charge of business of Stanco, Inc., subsidiary of StandardOil Company of New Jersey. Many thanksfor ALUMNI MAGAZINE."
A 1 Wheeler's plans have changed. He is returning for the Silver Jubilee, accompanied by Aimee Semple McPherson, that is, maybe, for he adds: "Dick Wheldenhasn't sent my expense money yet. Prettysure to come back this summer, and if wecan make arrangements to leave on timeto be back for 25th, will see you then, barring accidents."
Ed Keeler has had the misfortune to have been suffering from some sort of a jaundice infection, but now has the good fortune to be on a trip to Guatemala with Lucy. They say the lime juice there is excellent for this particular disease. He says, however: "I am hopeful that this will notinterfere with our attending the Reunionnext June, although it may shorten ourstay East at that time."
Rupe Luey hopes to be in Hanover in June partly to see a nephew, Tom Luey, graduate, but he says: "In regard to my returning to Hanover next June, I feel likethe young chap who Went out to Californiayears ago—after he had been out there sev-eral months he wrote home—'l will behome in June, God willing, but I'll behome in July anyway.'" (Note: refer to A 1 Wheeler's cryptic remarks in similar vein above.)
Says Larry Odlin: "It's just out of thequestion to try to plan on a trip East rightin the middle of my sea duty—l shouldhave started this cruise a year earlier, butsomehow one can't very well control thesethings'. Unfortunately this ship is notamong the few scheduled to visit the EastCoast this summer.
"We are both enjoying duty out herebut nevertheless are looking forward' tonext shore duty somewhere in the East in'937-
"Here are best regards to you and yours,and sincere congratulations on engineeringwhat I'm sure will prove to be the best reunion yet. I surely hate to miss it—but it's.just one of those things."
Don Cheney, writing that he hoped to be back in June, added that he had just bad a pleasant call from Carl Waterbury, who is spending a short time in Florida.
Max Eaton's new offices are at 311 Merchantile Lib. Building, Cincinnati.
Charlie Stebbins is on his way West to meet Al Wheeler. He has got as far as St. Louis, where he is sales representative for the Crown Cork and Seal Company, with address at Bag S. 11th St., St. Louis, Mo. He is living at 618 Hanley Road, Clayton, Mo.
What does it mean, Bert? Your new address is 25 S. Emerson St., New Bedford, Mass. Let's have the answer in the next MAGAZINE.
It seems to be impossible to get word directly from John Norris, but his brother sends in his address as 137-27 232d St., Laurelton, L. 1., N. Y.
Dick Chase Jr., son of our own Dick, has just been elected editor-in-chief of the Dartmouth "Jack-o-Lantern." Dick is pretty skillful with the pencil and has kept the "Jack-o-Lantern" well filled with clever illustrations.
The metropolitan papers recently carried a copy of a letter from John C. Sterling of Greenwich to the Connecticut Commissioner of Motor Vehicles. The letter was as follows: "This is an outrage! What are youtrying to do? Make a sissy out of the stateof Connecticut?
"First I find our tax reduced. Second, theblanks are filled out, so there is nothingto do but sign my name and send the check.Third, there seems to be a prolific use ofthe words kindly and please."
He was replied to to the effect that there were more outrages to come, that starting in 1937 they would have to change their number plates only once in five years. However, this was nothing compared to what was to come.
The news broke just before the end of January. This quotation is taken from Business Week of February 1: "TO THETOP—Vp from the position of vice president and advertising director of McCallCo., John C. Sterling moves today (Feb. 1)into active management of PublicationCorp., top outfit in the far-flung enterprisesof Joseph P. Knapp, the little-known No. 2man in American publishing. Mr. Sterlinghas already been elected a member of theboard of directors and executive committeeof the Crow ell, Alco-Gravure, and UnitedNewspapers Magazine divisions. Mr. Sterling's successor at McCall's has not yet beenannounced."
A fuller article appeared in the Advertising Age of February 3. Excerpts: "The newadvertising head of This Week is one ofthe most brilliant and popular magazineexecutives in the country." This was followed by a record of Chub's experience since leaving college, which is probably familiar to all of us. It says also that he graduated from Dartmouth in 1911 in the same class with W. C. Agry, now business manager of Good Housekeeping, and J. M. Mathes, head of the advertising agency bearing his name.
Apparently Warren missed a few people whose names I could give him, for he wrote that on a recent visit to Chicago he saw Ed Keeler and George Leach; discovered that George's stepson had just been married to an Evanston girl, but what was of greater significance: "Everyone I have met hasstated definitely that he is going to the reunion. 1 suppose it is too much to expect,but it would be wonderful if we could exceed our 1921 attendance figures."
The list of names which follows is far from complete, and Warren and all others are invited to assist in encouraging those whose names are missing to return in June. This list absolutely is free from padding. No man has been entered thereon unless he has stated definitely that he is coming. Only twenty-seven men have said definitely that they cannot come. There are a large number who hope to come; that expect to come; or wish they could come, who are temporarily listed as uncertain. It is hoped these will be shifted shortly to the "positively coming" list. You will probably note as missing from this list names of certain men like Cupe Adams and Chet Butts, who will just have to be here or it won't be a real reunion. These men and others haven't said they were either doubtful of coming, so if some of the good brothers will work on them, they probably can induce them to appear. Where the name is preceded by an asterisk it indicates that the wife likewise will be present. Although the names of sons and daughters are not given herewith, several registrations for such have been received. Next month there will be printed names of all others who will have so declared themselves by that time. This, therefore, is an invitation to the men themselves and all others to join in and help get the list complete.
