Class of 1912
Due to the last minute news of the death of our Fred Day, we were unable to give any details in the last issue of the ALUMNI MAGAZINE. Fred was on a business trip in Philadelphia and passed away very suddenly on February 7. Bill Towler '13 was the first to be advised of the sad occurrence, and through his kind attention the news was imparted to Mrs. Day. The funeral services were held from the Day residence in Westwood, N. J., and were attended by Jim Erwin, Doc O'Connor, Carl Rollins, and several other Dartmouth men. It is just about two years ago that we suffered the loss of Tom Brennock—the brother of Fred's wife, Alice.
It is impossible for us to adequately express the deep sympathy which we all feel for Mrs. Day and the children. We wish we could be of some consolation, and yet the only hope we can express is, that they will keep 1912 in their hearts as it was in Fred's and in Tom's.
A daughter of Rollie Linscott, Miss Eliza- beth Linscott, was recently married to Dr. Edward R. Hubbard of Taunton, Mass., a graduate of the Harvard Medical School.
The sincere sympathy of the class of 1912 is extended to "Dutch" Viets of Boston, who recently suffered the loss of his father.
We are also grieved to learn that a brother of "Bug" Knight passed away suddenly in Boston and extend our sympathy.
While this may be a very late report, we must put it on the record that the Lewises did come through in grand style at their home in Lebanon at the time of the Cornell football game. Rollie Linscott broke in one of his new Graham cars for the trip to Hanover, and we hope succeeded in signing up his guests Ted Lampee, Lyme Armes, Ray Cabot, and Puddle Pond.
The Boston alumni dinner was attended by the following 19102ers: Rollie Linscott, Bud Hoban, Mort Kyle, Hal Fuller, Caesar Young, Pett Pettingell, Unc Bellows, Ted Lampee, Fletch Clark, Wallie Walburg, Connie Snow, Pike Childs, and Dutch Viets. Ray Cabot was absent, due to the serious illness of his mother. We trust that Mrs. Cabot is recovered and entirely well.
At the New York alumni banquet held at the Hotel Commodore on February 28 the following were present: Doc O'Connor, Jim Erwin, Hutch Biery, Shaw Newton, Doc Worcester, Charley Gately, Andrew Phelps, Lee White, Charley McCarthy, Ed Mitchell, Dick Plumer, Heinie Urion, Al Eiseman, Dick Remsen, Wally Jones, Mert Baker, and Manuel Garcia.
There are great big doings in two states of these U. S., and they are happening right along. One is in the state of New Jersey— where Long Jim Erwin has consented after much persuasion to bring his talents into the lime light, and afford thereby an opportunity to the GOOD citizens of the state to vote for ERWIN FOR GOVER- NOR. The class of 1912 enthusiasm has brought us into some queer situations, but when that election day comes, there are very liable to be some faces around the Jersey polls that never saw the state before. Those of us that can't make New Jersey will have another equally important opportunity to vote for MOSIER FOR GOVERNOR in the state of OHIO. On the 19th of February this year Hal Mosier—now Lieutenant Governor Harold G. Mosier of Ohio—threw his hat in the ring as a candidate for governor at the next election. He will oppose Governor Martin L. Davey (of tree surgery fame) in the Democratic primary.
Those are NEWS for ANY class and we cannot refrain from the observation—how important the influence of THE class is on the political and economic life of our country.
Lyme Armes resigned recently from the David Malkiel Advertising Agency of Boston. (From Printer's Ink.)
You will be hearing from Pett Pettingell soon now with some of his up-to-the-minute news, and his appeal for the Alumni Fund. Give him all the support you possibly can. We have just this one year before our Twenty-Fifth, and we want to be just 100% there all the way.
