Class of 1910
OFF AGAIN to another year of feeding news items to you guys who landed in Hanover just 30 years ago this fall as one of the finest collections of "Greatness in Disguise" that 01' Dud ever four-horsed up the hill .... in the gang was more than one Enfant Terrible who had a yen for everything except Math 1 . . . . but cheer up, a staid faculty member in Hanover told us recently of a $30,000 per annum job GIVEN an alumus who with a modicum of book ability and a few kindly profs received his degree.

CONGRATULATIONS to Mr. and Mrs. Monty Fall, who were married at summer home of A 1 and Mrs. Emma Fall Schofield in Cohasset on July 18 Mrs. Fall was Miss Lillian V. Bergstrom of Brookline Warren Upham 'l6 was best man.
THAYER SMITH bought a "Covered Wagon" and took his family of nine on a month's vacation through New England .... with them went Son No. 6 born to Dr. and Mrs. Smith on May 22 as another candidate for the Dartmouth family .... the husky youngster gives the Smiths a commanding lead over all Tenners, 6 sons, 1 daughter .... Who's next?
JOE DA VIDSON is back in New Hampshire again after a long series of hospitalizations through the Far West .... we were delighted to see Joe again at North Stratford during the summer .... he looks fine after his long fight; will have to be careful; a N. H. winter would be too severe at present .... he has a fine brain and is a tireless reader .... we, like many others, always figured Joe Davidson to be one of the truly solid men of the class. THE SYMPATHY OF THE CLASS goes to Mrs. Cassidy and children John passed away suddenly after a heart attack on the train .... we will have an obituary for the next issue .... that of Maynard Teall appears in the Necrology section.
BROWN COOPER, our band-master of note in years gone by, dropped in for lunch with the Dartmouth group in Chicago not long ago Chet and Mrs. Scott of Walla Walla, Wash., spent a couple of months in San Francisco this summer .... glad to see Ed Shattuck elected president of the Dartmouth Association of Northern California, a live group that puts out a live publication, the newsy "Squeaks" .... any of the brethren traveling in vicinity of San Francisco should look up Edmund Ralph and Mrs. Paine vacationed at the old homestead in Woodstock, Vt., and called on us here at camp one day .... son Morris is working in mercantile business in N.

M we hear that Mr. and Mrs. George Chamberlin have a fine youngster about a year old. . . . . Blake Johnson's appendectomy cheated him out of being Commencement sachem orator, to which he had been elected Vice Pres. Clarke Tobin of the N. Y. Dartmouth Club spent the summer with his family at Stockbridge, Mass. . . . . John Dingle (b. July 1, 1886, Omar, Delaware) was given a surprise birthday party by his insurance organization in Chicago Jack has been very successful with 23 years in life insurance business, 20 with the Mass. Mutual, 18 of which he has been general agent.
DICK HURSH, the golf-playing book agent who sells 2 or 3 million textbooks annually for Kingsport Press, drove in on us at camp for a surprise visit, having with him charming, comely Mrs. Hursh, and we wondered how the Dickens that guy ever got such an attractive lady until Richard confessed that it took him five years to sell her on the idea .... they were heading back to Chicago via Hanover, where Professor Scarlett shot 18 holes with the Spell-Binding-Seller to even up the match on that last hole Andy's mean medicine on the Hanover course.
HAROLD WINSHIP has written two anti-war poems which were accepted by the National Council for Prevention of War to be distributed throughout the United States Easty and Mrs. Easty spent some time in Washington during June John VanderPyl week-ended in Hanover during early summer .... word trickling in from the class at large indicate that better economic conditions are being enjoyed .... those who went through the depression in fairly good shape are sitting pretty while those who got knocked and dented are getting their feet established for real comebacks .... while discussing the topic with Ralph Paine the other day, he expressed his belief and observations that our class was one of a small group of classes to be hit the hardest .... just entering the early 40's when the crash came, most of the men were paying for homes, businesses, saving money to educate their children .... they were entering the period of establishment and acquisition, and before they got either, along came the bust-up .... we personally feel that that group of classes in that category is in a splendid position to make hay during this next period of prosperity .... old enough to have experience and judgment, yet young enough to have the mental and physical ability necessary to acquire what they want in life, all of which is by no means measured in material values.
YOUNG HAROLD ROBINSON, the lad who came on from China for a Dartmouth education and mopped up scholastically at Hanover in spite of broken leg, appendicitis, measles, working for his board, and what not, had a job with Larry Bankart at Lynn this summer .... he is starting a pre-medical course this fall. .... Doc and Elizabeth Foster rate a niche in Heaven for the kindly attention which they give to the aged Dr. Spalding '66, honorary member of 1910 .... it is one of the fine things in life to observe . . . . we hear that Naval Reserve Lieutenant Atkins Nickerson has been extremely successful in handling the boys at a CCC camp in Vermont Don Curtis has spent considerable time at Martha's Vineyard A 1 Salmon has a youngster heading for Dartmouth, and maybe two, if the younger lad gets the Navy out of his system Slip Powers and son Sam salmon-fished in Newfoundland in July Pineo Jackson and sons, Charlie and Peanuts, bought a trailer and toured through Vt., N. H., and Me., having a good time and fishing .... we have heard that Maynarcl Teall's family will live in Geneseo, N. Y.

Y. Dartmouth Club Bulletin says, "Joe Kinney,with his red and white shirt, could be seenall over the fairways and in the ROUGH,having a swell time, not mentioning hisgolf" during team matches on July 15 with Columbia, Cornell, and Pennsylvania .... without doubt there will be an informal class get-together night before the Harvard Game Jim MacPherson visited at Jess Hawley's home in St. Charles, 111., in August .... his son Bud with Jim Vaughan's son Wyman from Minneapolis have been touring to the Pacific Coast in a flivver Harold Benjamin has just sent us a highly interesting political analysis of several states in his neck of the woods.
