Class of 1904
This fall has been a particularly pleasant one in Dartmouth contacts. Early in Sep- tember we were surprised by a brief call from Eliot Bunker '01 Bishop and Mrs. Bishop. Bunker was Medical School '04, and brought news of Willis Med '07 Nealley, Medical School classmate of Manguerian, Norton and Phelps. Dr. Nealley has been an outstanding success in hospital administration work in Brooklyn for many years. Ned Bartlett too, spent a day with us just after the opening of College, and described with interest the different thirty odd years have made in the matriculation processes at Dartmouth. It's good to know he has a boy in College, for we shall see more of Ned in Hanover.
Address changes in October are—Burritt H. "Rosie" Hinman to No. 2250 North Vernon Street, Arlington, Va., Francis H. "Hat" Hardy to Box 2512, San Francisco, Cal.
BROWN GAME 'O4 PARTY
In response to a notice sent out by our Boston members to have a fall round-up at the Brown Game, Gene Sewall and Gil Moulton arrived at Waterville Valley on the afternoon of Friday, October 16th. They showed immediate concern for their families which could not be understood there were also sundry references about Derry and Concord which failed to check with any reasonable route from York Harbor to our house. Piecing together the conversation, we learned that the two families left home in the morning to lend their attendance in Court as support for Att'y Sewall as he asked for the continuance of a case, the continuance granted, they went on to Concord for lunch. Here a decision to do a little shopping by some of the party left Gil and Gene to shift for themselves, and they immediately cast off for the Waterville Valley. Descended from seafaring men they could make no customary observations without sun or compass, but by the aid of a SPIRIT level and the same determination used by Gene in keeping Maine from the New Deal party, they made it quickly over roads wholly un- familiar to me, and only had to open one gate and a pair of bars (two bars in 70 miles sounds like a new minimum). We were soon joined by Mrs. Moulton, Mrs. Sewall, her daughter Happy, and Webster Moulton, who made the trip comfortably over State Highways. Florence Jackson was here, completing a class group of ten. Saturday dawned rainy and the roadside picnic at a particularly interesting scenic spot in Orford was abandoned—Heading for Hanover a brief stop was made in the Town Square of Plymouth where Chairman Sewall presented the ladies of the party with rain capes. The seventy mile motor boat trip brought us to the Hanover Inn where we met Jane and Buddy Jackson, Lucille Charron, and the Edgerlys. The dining room looked like the concourse of the Washington Station awaiting the arrival of the President. Gil said to the head waiter "Lafayette is here." Yessir, I recognized you at once, sir We are ready" and we enjoyed our last dry moments for the rest of the day. The Game was one of the finest demonstrations of rain ever produced by our versatile New Hampshire climate, rivers reaching almost flood proportion. We arrived home in time for dry clothes, roast beef and beans at seven o'clock. Sunday we had a happy 1904 party of sixteen at dinner. Fair weather would have brought us a class group of twenty-five.
Through the courtesy of a Dartmouth Gentleman E. P. '14 Junkins residing in Oak Park, Ill., I have received a rotogravure page from the Chicago Daily News of October 10th with the caption "An interesting Country House—being a photogravure visit to Stone Gate Lodge, ruralresidence of Louis E. Leverone, near HalfDay, Ill. where Indian traditions clusteramong beautifully wooded Lake CountyAcres." The spacious grounds, beautiful vistas and comfortably appointed interiors reflect the charm of Mrs. Leverone and Jig. It's a likely spot for a 1904 pilgrimage.
HARVARD GAME ROUND-UP
Taking advantage of the annual privilege for a 1904 evening Mower, Brennan, Robinson, Mod ton, Hobbs, Marshall, Nolan, Austin, Woods, Streeter, Maguire, Doonan, Charron, Ham, Sexton, Maynard, Gale, Cronin, Edgerly, Sewall, Lampee, Bartlett, Manguirian, Bullock, Davis, Kneeland, Wing, Johnson and Gene's bodyguard Messrs. Weaver and Ellis, gathered for dinner and an evening of reminiscense at The University Club in Boston, Friday, October 23d. It was the largest class attendance we have had for this occasion and was greatly enjoyed. It was a real pleasure to hear from Jack Nolan, with us for the first time. Bob 'O9 Holmes, secretary of his class praised certain 1904 virtues he had observed in his Dartmouth travels, Ned Bartlett and Tom Streeter were the long distance visitors and showed emphatically that they were pleased with the opportunity to spend an evening in New Hampshire atmosphere. Election forecasting was a favorite pastime and all the guesses were wrong except that of the canny band and Aegis manager, Squid Lampee, and third baseman Hobbs.
Regrets and good wishes from Weston, Logan, Sanderson, Woodbridge, Tubbs, Phelps, Rollins, Uniac, Leverone indicate a growing interest in this evening.
ROBINSON-PHIPARD
The Boston Transcript of October 24th carried the announcement by the Robinsons of the engagement of their daughter Betty to Harvey Fiske Phipard Jr. Betty was graduated from Dana Hall School and Wellesley College and Mr. Phipard is a senior at M. I. T. There are no immediate plans for their marriage. With these more or less perfunctory details properly noted, it is our happy privilege to say they spent last New Years with us here in Waterville Valley skiing and making progress gener- ally in the direction of future Happy New Years. We wish them much happiness.
Each month I enjoy the snappy news items in SQUEAKS from the GOLDEN GATE and herewith thank Secretary B. L. '2O Winslow of the Dartmouth Association of Northern California for the privilege. Their weekly Monday lunche'on at San Francisco's Olympic Club is a gathering place for visiting Dartmouth men and on "September 21st, Bob Fiske from Portland,Oregon, in the building material business,paid his respects to the Dartmouth Group" —F. H. "Hat" Hardy appears in the honor role of early payers of their annual dues, with Bob '01 Leavens, Herb '03 Follett, Frank '03 Wentworth, Stillman '05 Batchelder, Clyde '06 Souter, and George '07 Hoyt from our undergraduate days and many others from '71 to '26. They are enthusiastic about the Maxfield Parrish New Hampshire poster recently sent them by Don '00 Tuttle—the typical New Hampshire scenery in natural colors has apparently made them homesick for the Hanover Plain.
Earl Herman celebrated November first by writing me a fine letter in which he says, "I can still see you waddling across theCampus" .... freshman stuff .... but here's a bit of family history—"I can alsovisualize you, Robbie, Sex, Ike Maynard,Harry Chase, Li, Bob Brown, Peacham,Pete Maguire, Beck, Bill Gray and myselfseated in Doc Kingsfords outer office, allsuffering from serious ailments of variouskinds, but from which, thanks to his tendercare and wonderful antidote—an excuse forcutting—roe all quickly recovered—Speaking of Pete Maguire now that he is becomingfamous in New England—will youkindly ask him if he remembers the idealtraining I gave him at the old CarterClub?" Speak up Pete, does this explain everything? Earl says his son—the fine looking chap who was in the class of '34 and with us for our thirtieth reunion picnic, is in the advertising department of the Chicago Daily News, and likes it. Earl acknowledges good health but says a real estate broker now has more poor paying land than money. Written two days before election this condition must have already been corrected.
Nineteen hundred and four attendance at the Columbia Game was apparently limited to the Grays, a Rollins' family party, the Austins, and Tinker Gale.
