Class of 1918
The cold winter we've all experienced has evidently frozen up many an Eighteener's fountain pen and typewriter. Anyway, that's one explanation for the lack of correspondence containing class news. But here are some address changes: Phil Chase now at 109 N. Pennock Ave., Upper Darby, Pa. Johnny Dessau is registered at the Forest Hills Inn, out on Long Island. Tom Groves receives mail and callers at 544 Cathedral Parkway, N. Y. And Don Robinson is with the Singer Sewing Machine Cos., 149 Broadway, N. Y.
Sadly we chronicle the passing of Paul C. Howley, classmate, on January 23. Paul was auditor in the regional office of the Home Owners Loan Corporation in Boston. Services were held at Rutland, Vt. To Paul's father, brother, and two sisters is extended the heartfelt sympathy of the entire qlass.
Eighteen's sympathy, too, goes out to Bill Mudgett (Pak> Alto, Calif.) on the loss of his mother not long ago Harvey Hood reports that he, Ben Stone, and Ed Noyes attended the shoe convention in Chicago during January. "Em Morse wasresponsible for getting together a 1918 dinner while there," writes Harvey, "and, asyou know, the class is well represented inChicago with Mike Davies, Charlie Kozminski, Dick Aishton, Bill Shellman, HiBelding, Ray Dart, Lymie Drake, OttoKubin, and others. Two or three, unfortunately, had to attend by proxy, but forthose of us present it was a swell gathering."
The lawyers and the doctors in the class are running a close race. With all precincts not yet heard from, we report nineteen doctors and a like number of lawyers. Among the doctors are such staunch Eighteeners as Ray Barrett, Alfred Bou, George Daniels, Hal Ellis, Ed McDowell, Fred Morse, Bob Munson, Joe Quincy, Bob Raymond, Harold Reuling, Ray Seed, Pete Serafin, John Tokarczyk, Curt Tripp, Leon White, and George Woodruff. Eligible to play on the doctors' team are Rolf Syvertsen at Dartmouth Medical School, Edgar Tilton at N. Y. U. Medical College, and Bill Pepin, dentist.
The nineteen lawyers (sue me if I've overlooked any!) include Bill Bemis, Amos Blandin, Willoughby Colby, Pups Colie, H. J. A. Collins, Geo. G. Davis, John Donohue, Paul Erwin, Phil Everett, Sig Judd, A 1 Lucier, Don Macaulay, Clarence Opper, Howie Park, Irv Rand, Jack Slabaugh, Sew Strout, Ivan Tefft, and Mel Weston Hold everything—we forgot George (fat) Rowell. That puts the lawyers in the lead. Now is the time for all good doctors to come to the aid of their profession.
Thinking we had the skids all greased to announce a new secretary for the grand old class of Eighteen, we made a preliminary announcement in these columns a couple of issues ago. Don't give up hope—the movement will yet be crowned with success. However, your present and soon to be past secretary appreciates the aid many of you have given to keep this class column going, and with somebody on the job who resides in one of the larger Dartmouth centers the old class is going to be welded closer and closer together—so that when we gather for our Twentieth in June of 1938, we'll be under full steam ahead.
Secretary, 811 Norris Bldg., Atlanta, Ga.
