Class of 1910
THE SHENSTONES .... Sophomore Joseph C., son of our own Ossie, won Winter Carnival acclaim by modeling an ice figure for his dorm, Smith Hall Ossie is a successful Canadian industrialist, being gen. supt. of factories of well-known Massey-Harris, Ltd., manufacturers of farming implements We heard that 1/2 of the skiing Bankarts, Larry and dau. Deborah, had successfully done the Taft Trail, so we looked up said trail in Don Tuttle's official folder just to see if it was anything Tom Leonard should challenge on ... . guess Thomas better stick to his back yard with the children if he wants to vote New Deal ticket this coming autumn. . . . . Bankart-negotiated-Taft is next to Hell's Highway in steepness, is 2.1 m. long, race course 1.4 m., width 15 to 60 ft., max. grade 34 degrees, "expert trail." "shelterwith stove at foot of trail" .... if certain members of the class we happen to know (nothing per.) ever tried that Path of Suicide, they want a coupla hospitals in place of that shelter and all of 1910's M.D.'s, and D.D.'s around when they landed It looks like Larry and Deborah can represent rest of us boys, wives, and daughters on these ski things.
BULGING WAISTLINES .... following classmates increased their girths at annual Dartmouth dinner in Boston, then pushed back their chairs to hear another of Pres. Hoppy's excellent addresses . . . . and our own Ben Williams do a very nice job as speechmaker .... answering "Here!" were Ted Hill, Hal Sprague, Nate Sherman, Art Lord, Else Jenness, Monte Fall, Bones Jones, Charlie Fay, Lew Wallace, Win Nay, Jim Everett, Inky Taylor, Irv Jewett.

New Jersey born Robert Raymond Gorton (July 6, 1887), one time golf team Capt., "King of Ukan" star, Choir and Glee Club member, now stout in the midriff, who left life insurance long enough a few yrs. ago to force the immortal Bobbie Jones to the 19th hole, opines, "These 50yr. old ski boys can break their necks onthose d.... sticks But me, ah,gimme Ol' Lottie, my favorite middle, amilk bottle, a book, my shaving mirror, anda beer mug, move back the kitchen table,an' I'll shoot a low 70." ....

"YOU WIN!", writes Malcolm Bissell from Calif, to Treas. Paine, "Enclosed ismy check for 1910 class dues It'sreally a bit tough to have to pay two setsof class dues, and I've tried to beg off my1910 ones on the ground that I'm a morebonafide member of the class of 1911S atYale . ... I really graduated with thatbunch. You fellows just don't pay any attention to my pleas, and I had made up mymind to not pay any attention to yours,however plaintive. Then you start sendingme the DARTMOUTH ALUMNI MAGAZINE. I'malready paying five bucks a year for the Yale Alumni Weekly After all, thedepression isn't over yet, and even thoseRepublicans back in Connecticut may betoo optimistic .... but that DARTMOUTH ALUMNI MAGAZINE has been interestingreading, and I just can't stand the idea ofputting the 1910 treasury in the hole formy subscription. So here's my check, and itisn't painless to hand it over, either. Havea heart!
"Yours helplessly,
"MALCOLM H. BISSELL."
THANKS, MALCOLM! You're 0.K., and we have a sneaking feeling that some of that N. H. granite got into your veins while you Hanovered with us This Payne guy is out to balance the budget, and he claims that a few more cks. will head off inflation .... a w.k. 1910 industrialist got listed among Wall StreetJournal bigwigs for giving away 1400 shs. of his company's Big Board stock (selling around 40), retaining 3185 as a nest egg .... at this point we were delightfully interrupted by a surprise visit from Jim In- galls, now happily settled as an insurance specialist in Glens Falls, N. Y Jim looks great, some heavier, fully haired, a bit grayish .... he and Velma Bermuda-ed recently, nicely located in G. F., enjoying some of the finer things in life which only a small community can give forth Schoolmaster R. Reynolds' son Bob is teaching in Bronxville, dau. Betsy (grad. of Horace Mann last June) is studying voice and piano at Juillard, son Geo. is Dartmouth soph, while the co-author of "The King of Ukan" month-cruised in West Indies during holidays . . . . claims he was sick off Hatteras .... and lost everything .... something wrong . . . . we've been up and down Hatteras a few times, never missed, or lost, a meal, in parte or in toto .... never had any desire to.
MARKS cannot always reveal greatness in disguise .... but we do want to give you a few of the high-lights of the current season .... that lad who traveled nearly 10,000 miles from No. China via Japan, Honolulu, Calif., by bus to Hanover, N. H., to become freshman Harold Robinson got 3.8 (4. is perfect) first semester to lead 1910 sons .... fitted in China, working for board and college expenses over here, on his own for 4 yrs. to work his way through Dartmouth, that boy deserves real applause .... right at his heels was Mun Cole's son, George, with 3.6, then Ben Williams and Bill Tucker with 3.4, Howard Fogg 3.3, Ed Higbee 3.1, Dudley Meredith, Dick Higbee, 3.0 Sounds like old times but these boys were "juniors" .... 3.25 is Phi Beta .... and there were some fine marks among the other 26 1910 sons, all of whom we'll vote for, marks or no marks.
NEW YORK RELEASE (cont.).......
"Chas. Gates Dawes, Hoover vice pres., put out an autobiography made complete by a photo of Ben Ames Williams on a hunting trip with Dawes out Arizona way, and a bit of verbal scenery from the typewriter of Ben himself .... from pictures and text, Ben did not go for overdraft pipe, sticking to kind used on ancient postoffice steps under sign, Hanover, N. H Sam Mathewson, Mystery Man of 1910, was apprehended in an upbound elevator the other day and almost caused the craft to turn tail for the cellar by pulling an amazing abdominal laugh when someone mentioned the New Deal. Sam is salt of the earth, and what is more can be caustic. Hank Haserot, citizen of a world that includes Cleveland, was at Princeton game, and sat up all hours explaining to Ray Seymour what a swell time Ray had at the reunion. Ray, being a lawyer fresh from an all-night session in which he swung one of the major business reorganizations of current season, could hardly get in a word edgewise. Ray sent Hank a pineapple to remember him by. Some members of the class have heard the expression "poor relations." Well, Ray Cutler is now in Bank Relations Dept. of N. Y. Federal Reserve Bank, which by some quirk of fate is on Liberty St. .... but withal the bank of today is by way of being a poor relation as far as income goes. All of those honored by a call from Ray are, of course, subject to a little law which enforces insurance of deposits up to first $5,000, which amiable arrangement does not seem to make Ray's work any easier. He is away from his desk a good part of time doing relations routine, but a call at his office is worth while, for one can sit in fine chairs, gaze on royal rugs, beautiful chandeliers, and be waited on by junior clerks who learned their sweet manners from radio announcers. Obie Coleman, who is doing the fronting, if one may use the word, for a new crepe rubber bathing suit (so far one out of eight women bathers wear rubber suits, the other seven awaiting advent of the Coleman crepe), had in mind to drive his Middlebury freshman daughter to Winter Carnival to be guests of Sophomore Coleman, but it just looked like too much winter scenery. Obie is one of the solid men of the N. Y. gang, his spacious office over- looking the so-called Four Corners of the World, 42d and Fifth Ave., but the whirl o£ New York has left him untarnished the kind of a man you would like to work with under any conditions. Dinny Pratt (should be called Father Dinny Pratt, for he is father confessor to the department stores of America) is just the same judicial- minded arbiter as of yore. He has his own well-knit organization, carries out his negotiations in placing expert merchandisers with the right stores in the right spots, and when balancing a tough problem can lean back and gaze on one of the handsomest seascapes ever to adorn the wall of business man. Dinny has the joy that comes to a man who knows his stuff, and who is constantly being reminded of the respect and esteem in which he is held by the merchant princes of the land. Herb Wolff some years ago refused to grow any older in appearance .... but talk with him a few minutes and you realize that Old Wolffie is one of the knowingest coots in all N. Y. town, a town, by the way, that has at least some 3,000 excess lawyers .... to describe Wolffie of today, one has to resort to statistics .... he has a bevy of youngsters who will keep him sending checks to Dartmouth bursars for years to come, mebbe the rest of his life .... as partner of Greenbaum, Wolff & Ernst, 285 Madison Ave., he is one of an organization of 54, of whom about a dozen and a half are trying to straighten out the mortgage maze in which New York real estate became lost about five years ago. It is no slow, dust-gathering crew, either . . . . but Wolffie won't let the grind get him down .... he took a winter sun bath on west coast of Florida, and has thought up a final and crushing answer to Geo. Thurber on that little matter of the New Deal which Banker George sought to straighten out for him at the reunion. Don Bryant, the famous stay-wid-em treasurer of 1910, and formerly boss banker of Pullman, Ill., is now one of the Pullman Co.'s best customers as he shuttles around the country as chief negogiator in some of these here, now, so-called 778 reorganizations or bond reduction affairs. Don will probably end up by reorganizing our whole railroad system, Pullmans and all .... he says "the berths are too long and too wide anyway."
