Reynolds, an old man with a young wife, who is now preparing for Publishers Thomas Nelson & Sons a new library of books for children, entitled "A Modern Plan for Teaching Children" .... 01' Doc, who might just as well have been a Hoss Doctor (anything could come out of Shurtleff House), is smart, too.
A WORKING EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE is what you fellows elected last June .... each and every doggone man .... some may have thought that the list contained "window-dressins," but not a bit .... it would warm the cockles of your hearts to follow them along and see what they are doing, inconspicuously, for the class and college .... busy men, all of them, but not too busy to help the common cause .... and Ralph Paine is keeping everlastingly after his dues, a few more of which he needs to break even for the year.

ONE YEAR AGO NOW .... Pop Nelson and Abiel Wood, old-time roommates, were about ready to converge to Hanover. .... Cliff Lyon was starting training for his annual fall custom of attending every Dartmouth football game this side of Piqua, Ohio .... my little pal, "Peanuts" Jackson, had forsaken peanuts for waffles Rollie Reynolds did not know that December, 1935, would see him badly sick off Hatteras Ray Gorton was dieting Jim Everett was showing Geo. Thurber the land of his forbears, somewhere north of England Dartmouth men had little thought that Jeff Tesreau's baseballers would win the intercollegiate title Andy Scarlett was busiest man in New England, Reunion detailing, Alumni Fund agenting, and teaching Chem 1910 sons Brown, Fay, Hyde, MacPherson, Powers, Robinson, Tucker, Vincens, Wells had been accepted for incoming freshmen.
ONE OF THE BEST AFTERCLAPS from the Yale football victory for that fine little Dartmouth-sports-enthusiast, Nancy Norton, was a miniature goal post made by a U. S. Rubber carpenter from a piece of the original Yale posts, and painted green .... said section having been taken from the mob by a law-enforcing Naugatuck cop Ed Shattuck is active in Dartmouth alumni affairs on Pacific coast; vice pres., member of entertainment committee, and what-not, of San Francisco group Golden Gate Squeaks says, "Wilkinson '10, who last skied with FredHarris twenty-five years ago, wore thebadge of D. O. C. membership of that date,but found the sport SO different." . . . . Herb Woods, national labor expert whose opinions are widely sought, is improving in handwriting .... better 'n Pineo Jackson now Les Wiggin is back in Boston, with WPA Traffic Census.
FINE BUNCH of Dartmouth men here in Albany territory .... of men who were in college three years or more with you old bucks are '09 Track Captain Herm Walker, looking about same, not much older than when he used to push those tugboats around the 2-mile course; Ed Poole '11, well-liked, able, trim, insurance-businessman, active in Masonry, and who knows everyone Leo Muhlfelder '11, heavier of jowl and abdomen, alert busiiiesser, strong for the College, and returning for his 25 th in June Sam Aronowitz '11, same affable Sam of undergraduate days, more poundage, chronic bachelor, president of one bank, director of another, strong political connections, civic-minded, probably could be governor some day if he would become interested in office-holding .... of our own class are Russ Meredith, than whom no stronger Dartmouth man ever lived, sec'y Troy Rotary Club, ever willing and anxious to do anything for his community or college; Sheldon Smith, very successful Trojan attorney, Kiwanian, has to watch health some, but same old "Smitty"; "Albany" Hatch, underwear producer, bank director, busy businessman; Burt Miller, successful in fight against ill-health and depression, strong Dartmouth booster, heavy, jet-black thatch, dinky-mustached, knows more about wrestling than the powers that crook the game .... these same Hatch and Miller boys bridged the gap between Gus Sonnenberg's Dartmouth days and the trip to the Mid-west, where good tackles were worth around $l,BOO per annum . . . . when Gus and Craven parted company in midwinter, Burt financed former's trip to Albany, furnished free board while Classmate Hatch created factory position of "roving foreman," so, to quote our own "Albany," the big footballer "could entertain the girls while they made underwear" .... this lasted several months until western football called Gus made many lasting friendships here, and whenever he wrestles in this burg, Dartmouth men turn out in force, Burt and "Albany" being ring-siders.
SCHOOL SUPT. ART ROLLINS wants new schoolhouse for his Rochester, N. H., high school Billy Williams, Harold Goodere, Bill Taylor, and Jack Dingle were seen at recent Dartmouth luncheon in Chicago .... must be about time for Melvin Straus' son to enter a Hanover freshman class "Shing" Sherwin gets a lot of enjoyment in watching son Dick plug his way through Dartmouth . . . . father and son, both real boosters of the College.
BOSTONESE .... Kev, son of Chas. Fay, whose "Fascinating Reminiscences of College Life" 25 yrs. ago would be entertaining, made freshman swimming team, and is out for baseball "Bones" Jones' capacity for effective work with Schraffts is making money for Shattuck Cos. . . . . Jim Everett April-ed in Europe to appreciate perfection of American plumbing (his son Dick, star lineman for Country Day School, is ticketed to become a Dartmouth freshman this fall) B. Armstrong, now vice pres. in charge of sales for Dyer & Hall, Auburn, Me., blissfully supersells shoes King Brady, early exponent of basketball expertitis, is cashier in Internal Revenue Dept., Boston Monty Fall, A. T. & T. man of genius, graduated from night supt. of N. E. Tel. Cos. to day super Al Salmon, ailing for some time, can be seen on Boston sts. again.
RECENTLY a good Dartmouth friend wrote, "The trouble with you and someother valiant Tenners is that as wild-eyedfreshmen you remained awake during thosePrexy Tucker sermons on altruism." During the course of a year we get a lot of nice things said to us by Dartmouth men and we're not rehearsing them here but some way, somehow, we cannot recall anything that has meant more to us for if there is one thing from college days that has remained fixed in our soul, in our body, it is the mental picture of President Tucker conducting Sunday afternoon chapel .... we have forgotten his spoken words; we have forgotten the songs that Harmony Morse and his choir sang; and the name of our monitor does not come at this moment; but like a great painting, the visualization of that beloved leader standing at his pulpit is clear as crystal . . . .
serene countenance, soft-spoken words, kindly charm .... we have tasted manyphases of human life, of its joys and of its sorrows; we have retained little book-learning from undergraduate classrooms; and our system is not infiltrated with the brand of cynicism so widely found today
so when our friend threw the above accusation at us, little did he realize that he was filling ourself with joy and gladness . . . . the friend is a grand, good guy, a regular Dartmouth man, who has always responded generously with his time and thought when called on for anything of benefit to College or class .... but the pseudos, the hardness, the harpoons, of professions and business in big city life have ruined an ordinarily humanistic perspective.
