Class of 1921
February 1936-JUST FOUR MONTHS until the gang meets in Hanover for the BIG 15TH CONCLAVE. Dan Ruggles and his cohorts are already at work laying reunion plans, and the indications, even at this date, are that this will be the biggest '21 party yet. So start making your plans NOW to be there.
"Though round the girdled earth theyroam"Her spell on them remains."
The men of Dartmouth in the Hawaiian Isles have just formed an alumni association with Headquarters in Honolulu, and Art Duryea has been elected president. Ted Merriam is the new association's secretary, and Hastings Walker is also one of the charter members. Art and Hastings are both practicing physicians in Honolulu, Hastings being medical director of the Leahi Home, and Ted is assistant cashier of the Bank of Hawaii.
Last fall the Republicans were victorious in the election in Passaic, N. J., and on Dec- 9, 1935. they gave a victory dinner in honor of the city's Republican leader, Herman W. (Hoy to you) Schulting. The news drifting across to Manhattan from New Jersey is that Hoy has done great work in enlivening the Republican party in Passaic, and Hoy's grateful colleagues presented him at the dinner with a radio set, at the same time giving a beautiful bouquet of American Beauty roses to Mrs. Schulting. Our Jersey scouts also tell us that Hoy in addition to his political successes has a fine insurance and real estate business, which he carries on through the firm of Cullen-Schulting, Inc., in which he is a partner.
And before we get further away from the political field, we'd like to point out that Bob Burroughs has been very active in the game of politics also, being Republican national committeeman from New Hampshire. Bob is a candidate for delegate-atlarge for the Republican National Convention in June, and will run in the New Hampshire presidential primary this spring.
From Springfield, Mass., comes the word that DeWitt Mallary served as Community Chest chairman in the annual drive in that city last fall, and he was the first drive chairman to get his campaign over the top there in three years. DeWitt has been active in the political field in the Springfield area too, and his friends are already predicting that someday his address will be Washington, D. C.
From Concord, N. H., the news arrives that Hugh Cruikshank is now secretary to the Rt. Rev. John T. Dallas, Protestant Episcopal bishop of New Hampshire, who as rector used to have the Episcopal church in Hanover filled to the very doors in the days when '21 strode the Dartmouth campus.
Add to the list of recent benedicts, Dr. Daniel E. Kavanaugh, physician and surgeon of Belleville, N. J., who married Miss Elizabeth M. Current of Belleville last year.
And also Prof. Paul A. Smith, who married Miss Suzanne Bloch of New York City on Oct. 5, 1935. Paul is an assistant professor of mathematics at Barnard College, Columbia University, and last year served as acting treasurer of the American Mathematical Society.
We had a nice letter recently from Speedy-Fleet of the Fleet Lumber Company of Greenport, L. I., and he reported that he was present at the Brown, Yale, and Princeton football games and that he saw among others at the various games, Walt Prince, Dolf Alger, Red Stanley, and Rog Wilde. "Got the biggest lift I've had in years outof the Yale Bowl party," he writes. A completely unanimous reaction for all we've talked with who were there, incidentally.
And before the 1935 football season fades completely out of the picture we'd like to point out that Had Presson developed another of his excellent prep school elevens up at Worcester Academy last fall.
Speaking of New England schools, Dave Bowen has deserted Cape Cod, where he served last year as the principal of the junior high school at Wellfleet, for New Salem, Mass., where he is now principal of the New Salem Academy.
Add to the list of those representing the Dartmouth Club of New York in the Metropolitan Squash Racquets League this winter the Hon. Abe Weld.
Several new members have joined the 1921 family recently. The Dana Lambs report a new daughter, Faith Bradford Lamb, who was bom Sept. 12, 1935, the third youngster and the first daughter in the Lamb household. Dana is a member of the New York Stock Exchange firm of Marshall, Campbell & Co. Then the Bord Helmers report the arrival of Miss Marinda Starkweather Helmer on June 15, 1935. Going back just a bit further, Hermon and Mary Noyes report the arrival of Charles Hall Noyes on May 17. Charles is their second youngster, the first being Miss Mary Elizabeth Noyes, who is now six years old.
We ran into Dick Pearson '20 on a Westchester-bound train the other afternoon, and he gave us news of his business colleague, Bill Codding, who is a salesman in the school textbook department of Harper & Bros, in New York City. Bill now lives on Garth Road, in suburban Scarsdale, and on the day we met was planning to accompany Dick to the Dartmouth-Colgate (can you ever see those words close together without recalling that grey afternoon in the fall of 1919 when Hanover plain witnessed one of the greatest games in all gridiron history) hockey game up at Rye that evening. Unfortunately we did not get up to see the team play until they met Williams the next evening, so missed a chance to chat with Bill and get some additional information from him. We kept our eagle eye open in the jam at the Rye rink at the Williams game for any stray Twenty-oners, but unfortunately spotted none if they were there.
And now in closing, may we sound one last call for those questionnaire cards? And by last call, we mean last call, for by the time this column meets your eye again we plan to have the class report in the printer's hands!!
Secretary, 160 Calton Road, New Rochelle, N. Y.
