Class of 1921
THIS IS THE MONTH! ! !
Just a few days after this reaches you, there will be starting in Hanover 1921's biggest and best party yet, and considering those that have preceded this, that means plenty. Although the final call has begun sounding from the New Hampshire hills, there's still time to avoid having to say for the next five years, "Wish I hadn't missed all the fun at the Fifteenth," so just fix it up to be away from the job June 12, 13, 14, and 15 and head back to Dartmouth.
There will be a joint dance with the class of 1926 at Robinson Hall Friday evening, the 12th, to start things off. And next morning our illustrious nine (By the way just how are you still at playing second base?) will cross bats, (on swords or something) on the campus. Saturday afternoon, having shown the present Big Green nine just how the game should be played, we'll adjourn to Alumni Oval and see how well they've learned their lesson when they meet the Big Red from Ithaca, in an Eastern Intercollegiate League game. Then while the ladies spend the evening at bridge and a musical clubs' concert, we'll adjourn to a not too far distant Outing Club cabin for the once-in five-years (we can't think of the adjective off hand and the dictionary is too far away) class meeting, spring strawberry festival, and what-have-you. Sunday there will be an all-day class picnic at Bonnie Oaks, Lake Morey, with plenty of entertainment furnished by '2l's front rank performers, to say nothing of some golf and swimming on the side. Monday is Commencement Day, and at the close of the graduating exercises, the post-reunion party at Mountain View House, Whitefield, N. H., will get under way. The class of 1911 is having a similar party there at the same time, which means plenty of extra action and fun. In case you have forgotten, the rate is $5.00 a day per person and includes everything, room with bath, meals, golf, and tennis. Those who were lucky enough to join in the post-reunion party five years ago are all signing up to go again, which speaks for itself.
Rex phoned us this morning and reports "I'll be there" cards coming in daily, and as we write this, reunion is still five weeks away. In addition to those we listed last month as planning to be present, here are some of the others: A 1 Laffey, Ned Price, Bill Alley, Artie Anderson, George Harris, Bob Martin, Reg Miner, Joe Vance, Jim Wicker, Rog Wilde, Bob Mayo, Chan Cavis, Jack Graydon, Hank Cook, Dick Dickinson, Ingham Baker, Dick Barnes, Shorty Bateman, Dutch Bausher, Harry Chamberlaine, Red Stanley, Bob Loeb, Capron Payson, Walt Prince, Jack Hubbell, Frank Rood, Bill Spencer, Rex King, and Dan Ruggles. And so far, more than twenty wives have signed up, so if Mrs. '2l is making the trip with you she'll find plenty of feminine company.
Rex asks me to remind you to be sure to bring along a pair of white flannels to wear with the class uniform, which consists of a green blazer and white hat, and the reunion committee, having a good long memory, advises a pair of white ducks for the strawberry festival Saturday evening.
A 1 Laffey dropped in to see us this week and reported that he is a New Yorker once more, having been transferred back to Gotham by his magazine, the NationalProvisioner, after a spell in Chicago. The Laffeys have settled at 220 Villard Ave., Hastings-on-Hudson, N. Y., and Al's business address is 300 Madison Ave., New York City. His present job is Eastern advertising manager for the magazine. He reported having seen Bill Marcy on a recent visit to Buffalo. Bill, A 1 says, looks well and prosperous, is very busy with his law practise, and that while no longer in the state legislature, he is very active in Erie County Republican politics. Al, also gave us the first first-hand report of Warry Clark which we have had in a long time. Warrey, he says, is still busy turning out furniture and looking after a wife and two daughters out in Burlington, la.
Kemp and Mrs. Fuller are at present on a tour of Europe.
The Globe American Corporation, stove and range manufacturers of Kokomo, Ind., has just announced the election of Alden ("Ike" to you) Chester as vice president and general manager.
Paul Belknap has taken over the Dartmouth Press in Hanover, so will divide his time between Hanover and Bellows Falls, Vt., where he is the publisher of the Bellows Falls Times and has other printing interests.
Tom Cleveland has just opened his own real estate and insurance office at 27 Whitney Road, Newtonville, Mass. He specializes in real estate in the Newtons and Wellesley.
Jim Stanley, after several years as superintendent of the textile plant of the Robinson Manufacturing Cos. at Oxford, Me., has become connected with the Merrimac Woolen Mills of Lowell, Mass., in a similar capacity. His new home address is 14 Clark Road, Lowell.
And "that ain't nothin' " compared to the news you'll be picking up on the dorm steps some warm evening during reunion.
And before closing we beg leave to remind you in behalf of the class agents that it is still not too late to send in your contribution to the Alumni Fund. The class made a fine showing for Jack last year, and hopes are high for an even better record this spring, so won't you do your bit?
With this issue we are vacating this corner, and to the followers of these notes we make our most ceremonial, secretarial bow of farewell and extend our hearty and sincere thanks for your help and kind words through our terms of office. And now we'll hope to see you all in Hanover for the Fifteenth.
Secretary, 160 Calton Road, New Rochelle, N. Y.
