Class of 1910
HIBER-NATINGPEACE -FULLY: We're still trying to keep this dog- gone stove warm—wearing store under- wear—eating apples, drinking cider probably won't get a haircut till spring, .... or Congress adjourns .... why in Hek don't somebody pass a Relief Bill for us pore sec'ys .... if Huey Long hed lived, we might of got somewhere .... this 10th of the month closing-date is a terrible strain on us Dumb Clucks who live in a Fog of Doubt from one month to another .... a see's life is sorter like politics these days, full of confusing theories and conflicting facts . . . . and if any Dartmouth man ever wants a real accolade, let him send a news item or so to his class secretary, voluntarily.
"G" MAN: Mart Hannon, generally supposed to have been dead for many years, is now known to have been one of the famous Federal "G" men in the not too distant past, but just try to contact one of those lads and see how far you get, fast
Tobe was the last Tenner to see him, about three yrs. ago in Dallas, Tex Harold Benjamin, Dartmouthbent Bennie and rest of family Xmas-vacationed in St. Pete, Fla Ben pushes an interesting typewriter from the Great Open Spaces, in part, "We country boys have more time toread and think than some of the big townmen, and we doubtless absorb more fromthe papers. Letters are all the more anevent, especially -when no invoices are enclosed Tonight I have to crash uphome and decorate with a new tie and collar, and help introduce our congressman.He may be a bit radical (N.8., Minnesota)./ don't know. I certainly am not. I askedhim point-blank, and could not wholly interpret his answer. .... Dartmouth isquite the rage out this way. The town boysthink that we are a small outfit. They favorthe under-dog, and all hands holler for us." . ... We are glad to announce that Charlie Noone is coming along nicely. . . . . Jim Porter duck-shot in No. Carolina a coupla moons ago Cliff Lyon is Pres. of the Holyoke Dartmouth Club.
OLD MAN HENEAGE (T for Tommie) and Wfe. of Chi. Yale-bowled I Sat. during fall for first time .... he and Ferdie Armstrong orter go again some time .... while toastin' our toes at aforesaid stove 1 cold Albany evening of recent, we gotta thinking that with all this war talk we fellers who missed Phi Beta Kappa by comfortable margins 25 or 30 yrs. ago were better off than the boys at Hanover now (who can still miss on occasion) because the threat of foreign invasion was not so great on account of high cost of Hamp Howe's hosses and buggies .... a stranger in Hanover in those days was either a "visiting" athlete or a character to be "suspicioned" .... we gotta wonderin' where were the fledglings of those days when "Mike" Straus played "Vingty-un" in New Hubbard with the keenness of Dad Bowman's best razor .... going into a Geographical Research Huddle that would have won the admiration of the most preoccupied Prof, ever to roam through Hanover's muddiest mud puddles, we divided into the following Residential quotient by using a little of Tubby Barton's Algebra, 2 Chapters of Georgie D. Lord's Archeology, and 4 bars of "Harmony" Morse's personally taught music that never could be appreciated by such fellers as Norton Cushman, Else Jenness, and Lefty West (footballers excused because of picture-posing on Alumni Oval):

WE DIDN'T USE much Metric System in above because we got all mixed up and couldn't figure out how many liters (Dry Measure) of cider Lennie McClintock uster keep on his Fayerweather window sill in Oct., 1907, the month afore some Dartmouth boys added up 22 points (no deci mals) to Mr. J. Harvard's blackboard Zero .... this Metric stuff that they were trying to force on American tracks looked like a lot of Baloney to us ... . who could have told how many Hektares Nate Sherman broadjumped over, or how many Kilograms of fresh air Doc Bowler didn't get us to breathe in the old Gym . . . . about all the mathematics a man had to know in the past few years was to multiply by 6 to keep the banks straight with his interest .... but it'll be easier from now on, for with Prosperity a feller won't have to multiply as big figures. We'll try to dig out some more "locations" for you in future.
HAROLD SPRAGUE is being feted and dined as the new grand commander of the Grand Commandery of Mass. and R. I., being the youngest ever to be elected to that position Nate Sherman has a fine herd of 50 purebred Guernseys at the old family home in Plympton, Mass., sells Fords as a side line, has one boy in Dartmouth and another coming along in high school "Easty" has been elected president of the board of trustees of Milwaukee Univ. School, a private school that sends boys to Hanover .... he also acts as a trustee of Spencerian Business College, and has daughter Betty in Skidmore, to boot Ernest Cushman has moved to Huntington Park, Calif., where he has a government position in the P.O Rollo Reynolds still speechifies all over the country, urging a Bangor, Me., audience not to "let schools lose the things that make life beautiful" .... and "Britig up onegeneration to take charge of its own mind. ... if you do that, you can transform thewhole world." .... John Dingle is using radio broadcasts to sell the life insurance idea, with success .... young Harold Robinson is doing a swell job with his studies at Hanover, right up in the honor ranks; the lad busted his ankle in the freshman rush and had to go on crutches for several weeks but is O.K. now. We sure do admire the boy's courage in coming 10,000 miles to get a college education. .... Russ Meredith gets his picture in the paper as a leading member of Troy Voca] Club .... in 2 days Earl Blaik received 4 letters from Tenners, indicating an active interest by class members in football.
Ralph Paine needs a few more Class dues.We need some Class items.
"FOWL DOINGS"
Back in the days of the red plush parlor set, Scott Perry, Julius' Warren, George Davies, Noah Foss, Harold Winship, at at, plus two lady H.H.S. teachers, ate at a wellknown Hanover club .... said swains dressed to kill for fine impression on said fair ladies at first meal .... the chefd'oeuvre at the evening meal was a whipped cream cake, abundantly loaded with the rich product of a friendly female bovine Mr. Winship with the gallantry of a true Dartmouth son started said cake, passed it to one of the ladies, managing to upset the pastry sunny-side up in her lap. Just prior to graduation, Messrs. Davies and Foss took the lady for a canoe ride .... returning, Noah landed his companions, then proceeded to tip over at the float .... the real tragedy being that the only copy of his Class Day oration, "Horace: The Glorifier of the Commonplace" was a sodden mass in his pocket, thus compelling the ex-canoeman to cram hastily the remnants before water obliterated completely the ink writing.
