Class of 1927
The September issue of the Bulletin of the Dartmouth College Club of New York carried a '27 column ably written by our old reporter, Guy Bostwick. From it we glean the following: "Ted and Edith Girault welcomed Carolyn May to the family hearth on August 3, this being the second daughter. Ted is still to be found at 101 Willoughby St., Brooklyn, with the N. Y. Tel.
"This is a big year for '27, culminating of course in our 10th next June. Among those planning an early start are the following, who hope to sit in on the Holy Cross game in Hanover, October 10—Lew and Garelta Lyons, Ted and Edith Girault, Doc Greener and his wife, Guy and Mabel Bostwick.
"I understand Lew Kilmarx has been spending his week-ends this summer rebuilding an old house up state, under the able supervision of his good wife Marguerite."
Incidentally we understand that the first class dinner of the season in New York was held at the Dartmouth Club on October 6. As yet no news of it has reached these parts. Get the hint, Guy?
The night before the Harvard game as per usual a most successful class dinner was held in Boston at the Hotel Bellevue. We had as our guest Assistant Coach Harry Ellinger, who later that evening was interviewed on the radio by Bill Cunningham on the Kellogg program. Dinty Gardner, who originated and now runs the Cunningham broadcasts, was responsible for Harry's presence. After dinner, a little singing, and a few stories, the party adjourned to Phil Fowler's apartment, whence a few stalwarts attended the midnight show at the Old Howard, Boston's famous burlesque. Tsk, tsk, tsk! Among those attending the dinner were: Joe Ryan, Phil Fowler, Bill Macaulay, Bill St. Amant, Sykes Hardy, John Rintels, Rog Salinger, Charlie Bartlett, Gus Cummings, Bill Prescott, Charlie Paddock, Ding Heap, Ed Johnson, Ed Batchelder, Bill Cusack, Gordon Smith, Dinty Gardner, Bob Williamson, and Doane Arnold. Incidentally, all of the above solemnly swore that if it were humanly possible they would be at the Tenth next June. Bob Tucker, Hugh McGrath, and Ken Ballantyne were also in town for the game, but were unable to attend the dinner.
From lawyer Paul O'Connell we learn that his daughter Ann, age 3, now has a sister, Mary Lee, born September 29, 1936. As a Christmas present for her Paul is building a new house at 34 Drury Lane, Worcester.
Willard Smith is now teaching at Laconia, N. H., and reports that he will be present at the Tenth.
From Bo Head we get the following good news: "In regard to the Tenth Reunion, I am making my plans now to be in Hanover this coming spring. It has not been my good fortune to visit Hanover since I graduated in '27, except once, which was in 1929, when I attended my brother's graduation. I was in New York this summer, and while there I saw Joe Hardin and Al Welty. We discussed the coming reunion and all agreed that we were going to try to make up a party and all go together. I see Dick Simpson quite often, and he is also trying to make his plans to attend with us. I hope that these prospects do not fall through.
"You might be interested to know that on October 11 we had a new arrival in our family—a girl—Eugenia. This is our second child. Our first baby was a boy who is now three years old, and I am already dreaming of the future when he is also enrolled in Dartmouth.
"I see a few of the boys every once in a while. Fred Fellingham is living in Tulsa and is married, and has one child—I rather believe a daughter. I think she is about six months old."
Bo has been living in Sand Springs, Okla., for the past three years, operating the Oklahoma Power and Water Co. Very recently he has been transferred to Warrensburg, Mo., where he is to assume the presidency of the Missouri Public Service Corporation.
Paul Hannah also comes in with the good news that he will attend the reunion next June, even if he has to lose both his clients to get there. Paul also adds: "Incidentally, a new candidate for the class°f 1957 arrived on September 10. Frompresent indications, he will develop into acheer leader or maybe a hog-caller. Overmy strenuous objection, which was overruled by the Supreme Court of our domicile, he was given the appellation of 'Junior,' but we still are hoping for the best."
Another sure attendant at the reunion is Bill Sprague, who has been working for the International Harvester Company since graduation. For the past three and one-half years Bill has been at their Jackson, Mich., Branch where he holds the title of collection manager.
Clark Edmonds, who has also been with the International Harvester for the past three years, writes in from Hartford, Conn., that barring being transferred to Kalamazoo in the meantime, he too will be in Hanover next June. He also adds that in his recent travels he has run into Ron Michelini in Simsbury, Red Cleaveland in Torrington, Gordon Colby and Ed Fowler in New Haven, and Don Burnham, now in the insurance business in Hartford. All of them are planning on the Tenth if at all possible. "It ought to be a bang-up goodtime," says Clark, and from the returns already in we thoroughly agree. Let's have your name if it isn't in now.
Evan Wilder is now working in the U. S. Engineers' Office in Reading, Pa.
Ed Miner has recently been appointed superintendent of schools in Wellesley, Mass.
Frenchy Abbott is now assistant controller of Hahne 8c Co., in Newark, N. J.
John Rintels, who was sitting on the edge of his seat at the class dinner the night before the Harvard game waiting for a phone call, has since announced the arrival of a baby daughter.
Gordon Smith also informed us at the dinner that we had failed to announce the arrival of a baby daughter in his family last spring.
Two more bucks in your old sock this month, that reunion is fast approaching!
Secretary, 152 Waban Ave., Waban, Mass.
