Class of 1910
icuo'S ALUMNI FUND RECORD is one to which all Tenners point with pride .... always ranking high in annual standing, it finished third last year $14.42 behind 191 I'S $3,485 .... 1879 has an all-time total of $75,534 .... 1900 comes next with $63,258 .... then 1911 with $63,140, and 1910 in fourth place with $57,- 185, a comfortable $5,000 ahead of the nearest competitor .... the class has given generously through its able class agents, all of whom have set a fast pace for Ray Seymour and John VanderPyl to follow this year .... June is the closing month of the campaign .... men are urged to make their gifts now if they have not already done so ... . the Fund started the year we entered college .... let's stage a joint Celebration!
Burt Miller runs the Medical Oxygen Service in Albany .... complete rental of oxygen tanks, tents, and nasal catheters .... most of us have forgotten that Burt was a medical student for a year after graduation Hon. Harry Sandberg, the only Guy who ever made a Junior Prom show pay (probably because of his Irish blood), is doing a most interesting thing this summer .... a Floating Camp for Boys .... two submarine chasers, bought from the government, are headquarters Expedition under command of an ex-naval commander .... they will leave New York, steam up picturesque Hudson to Albany, then through the Barge (offspring of the old Erie) Canal to the Great Lakes, finally down through Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence to Montreal and historic Quebec, back through a net work of rivers and canals to Lake Champlain, down the Champlain Canal to the Hudson and their N. Y. starting point 1910 will be represented on the cruise by Sandy and Robert Reynolds, Dartmouth-graduate- school-teaching son of our own Rollie, who will be spending the summer down on his Delaware River farm among 600 fruit trees, and go acres of facial and land alfalfa ....
the class will be glad to hear that grand old Lennie McClintock is recovering after 5 months' suffering with bursitis . . . . it will take more than bursa trouble to lay up that guy, 1910's original "Old Salt" and Deliverer of Orations to the Stars . . . .
young Harold Robinson is rounding out his freshman year at Hanover with an appendix operation .... that fine lad has had just about everything crowded into his early college life, but he has proven that he can "take it" and pile up honor rank at the same time Eddie Wells, another 1910 son, closed his freshman skiing by getting eighth place in Dartmouth-Harvard Mt. Washington meet among a bunch of veterans.

Present Address of Don H. Curtis desired .... Don's last address was Windham Inn, Windham, Conn., prior to which it was with American Thread Cos., Willimantic, Conn.
George Chamberlin, Herb Woods, and Charlie Libbey took 4 hrs. for a little stag reuning dinner in Washington not long ago Lew Williams elected vice president of Chicago Dartmouth Alumni Association A Tenner absent from class affairs for 25 yrs. attended Reunion last June, and wrote recently, "I wish totake this opportunity of thanking you forfinally forcing me back into a place Ishould never have gotten out of. My visitto Hanover last spring was a revelation,and I am anticipating many more of thesame kind."
Les Wiggin reminded us recently of the "2,000-year-old drama, Oedipus Rex, whereLenny McClintock and Eck Hiestand satin the balcony without underwear; Geo.D. Lord tried to get Joe Bartlett to turnhis hand up instead of down; Monty Fall'spa and ma took a nap in the front row."
(Sec'y note: Not all naps were front row affairs that eve.) .... Ralph Paine can use a few more checks if anyone feels inclined to send them in ... . address Ralph H. Paine, Howland-Hughes Cos., Waterbury, Conn. .... an ACE citizen of Portland, Maine, is Tom Foster, who is interested in civic, church, and school affairs.
Sometimes a class secretary can keep after a man long enough to get a real letter here's one from that Governor's Councillor guy, T. Leonard, up in N. H. . deletions .... "You and I have always been friends. You know, with all your ability (he's got his skis crossed), and with all the expert ability you lay to the door of Larry Bankart, my ability remains the same. If you and Larry develop a little ability, you cannot detract that from my ability because mine will continue the same or improve. It is not like eating an apple up in Vermont, 'Every bite you take, the thing lessens.'
"You want to figure out that Mr. Leonard and his three sons have skied on every trail in the state of New Hampshire, and there is no trail but what we have been down, including the Richard Taft, the Wild Cat, Tuckerman Ravine, Guilford, Mt. Kearsage, Uncanoonuck, etc.
"Morever, let me tell you that I have two youngsters who are in the money as trail skiers. One by the name of Tom is going to Exeter this fall, and then up to that place called Hanover to see how good the boys are up there. The other lad, Dick, is going to Switzerland for school in the summer of 1938. He is going to stay there a year or two, and get a little extra skiing in. Provided Tommy reports that he cannot handle those boys up in Hanover, Dick is going to follow him to Dartmouth and show his stuff. I want to also inform you that I have a thirteen-year-old lad who has made every trail in New Hampshire, and a fifteen-year-old girl who has made half of them. With one exception (wonder if it's the Old Man), no stemming on the trails.
"Now, if you and Larry Bankart, Andy Scarlett, Walter Norton, George Underwood, or Pineo Jackson can live up to that reputation and cancel stemming on your repertoire tricks, you will have something to brag about. Failing in that, stop in my office and consult with me. I will be glad to buy you a dinner, give you a good place to sleep, and introduce you to my athletes."
Slip Powers got his name in Time not long ago .... Ralph Paine says that Don Palmer's son, who sells hosiery, makes an excellent appearance and resembles very much the Palmers as we knew them some decades ago Fritz Rainey has passed into the Great Eeyond after three years of intense suffering from cancer .... the class expresses its sincere sympathy and feeling to Mrs. Rainey .... a more complete notice is on the Necrology pages.
Bringing of the Class Book up to date revealed some interesting facts, inconsistencies, and vital statistics. . . . . 1 Dumb Cluck married the same wife 2 different years .... another D. C. had the same child born twice .... a case to be psychoanalysed is the Tenner who married two wives the same yr he might have shown good judgment at that, or mixed up his dates A wife could probably give more accurate information for recording purposes 70 complete families had 109 boys and 70 girls .... the late Jack Fields was the only member of the class to receive the Distinguished Service Cross during the World War Walter Golde is our musician of note Jim and Louise MacPherson presented the class with the only twins .... 15 men have married second wives. .... Writers in the class are Ben Ames Williams, Frederick Kenyon Brown, Horace Chadbourne, Mike Elliott, Ed Raabe, and Fred Rainey Men who married after sizable periods of bachelorhood are Chan Baxter, Brown Cooper, Mike Elliott, Monty Fall, Tom Foster, Charlie Gibson, Gay Gleason, Ray Gorton, Ted Hill, Johnny Hobbs, Charlie Kent, Walter Phelps, Ray Seymour, John Shambow, Hal Sprague, and Bill Taylor Jack Bates, Johnny Mitchell, Charlie Libbey, Fletch Rogers, and Ernest Unangst attended their first reunion last June Thayer Smith has 5 sons and one daughter. .... Jim Everett has 4 sons and 2 daughters Frederic Brown, Herb Wolff, and Dave Johnson have families of 5 Dick Boerker, Fletch Burton, John Cassidy, Obbie Coleman, John Dingle, Charlie Fay, Micky Holmes, Harold Judd, Cliff Lyon, Leo Sherman, Clarke Tobin, Bill Tucker, and Ernest Unangst have 4 children Those who have resisted the call of nubial bliss are Fred Batchellor, Maurice Blake, John Clough, Chet Comey, Chuck Crawford, Dixi Crosby, Joe Davidson, Jim Drummond, Noah Foss, Dick Hursh, Sam Mathewson, Frank Morrisey, Ed Paul, Fletch Rogers, Dallas Smith, George Underwood, and Les Wiggin .... there probably are some errors, by omission and commission, in the foregoing .... if there are, we certainly would appreciate accurate information, for now that the Class Book is reasonably correct, we would like to keep it that way, nothing has been done in it since the World War when beloved Spuddy Pishon laid down his fine secretarial work, never to take it up again .... the call of the nation exacting an all-supreme sacrifice in foreign lands . . . . and how useless and muddled the whole thing was, and is!
Au revoir, and a fine summer to you all! See you again in the October issue!
Secretary, 168 Hill St., Barre, Vt.
The Class will be greatly shocked to learn of the sudden death of Maynard Teall. Just as the MAGAZINE is going to press, we received a telegram from Karl Maerker telling of Maynard's death from pneumonia. Time does not permit further details. Our heart is sad and we send complete and understanding sympathy to the fine family our friend and former roommate has left behind.
