Class of 1907
A few more enthusiastic reports about the 30th,—a snap-shot of the Class Baby, Miss Mary Beals, taken during the Reunion,— and we'll call it a day!
Sam Barnes thinks "the Reunion wasjust about as perfect as it could be," and reports a pleasant auto trip home from Detroit, accompanied by his charming daughter, Sally.
Jack Stilphen says—"Nothing seemed lobe overdone and nothing seemed to be leftundone." Kind words heartily appreciated by the Reunion Committee.
Remember our mayor classmate, George Dalrymple of Haverhill, Mass.?— George has been asked to represent the six New England states at the reciprocal trade agreement hearing before the United States Tariff Commission in Washington, October 22. He is president of the Mayors' Club of Massachusetts. Mayor Dalrymple will oppose a pact with Czechoslovakia which, he believes, may endanger New England's shoe business by encouraging increased imports from Czechoslovakia.
Warren C. Billings of Rome, N. Y., is a recent correspondent of the Class Secretary.
Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Andrews are now residing at Kingston, N. H.
A postal from Witham, Essex County, England—from Bill Witham of Philadelphia—came to the Secretary during the summer. Bill took a vacation trip to France and England this summer, and couldn't pass up the home of his ancestors.
Mr. and Mrs. Hathaway—Pat and Irene —enjoyed a vacation in Europe this summer.
Harry Wellman pursued his studies of the habits of the salmon and the trout this summer, as usual,—dividing his vacation period between Newfoundland and New Brunswick. A hard life!
The Boston Transcript on September 17 mentioned Rip Heneage among others as a possible successor to Walter Okeson as commissioner of football officials. Rip would do a swell job.
At the annual meeting of the Newton Board of the Boston Real Estate Exchange, our classmate, Carlos T. Pierce, was elected chairman for the ensuing year.
Honors (well-deserved), for Harrv Storrs!—Here's the story,—and congratulations to Harry!
"Dr. Harry C. Storrs 'O7, M.D. 'lO, for a number of years superintendent of the Wassaic State School at Wassaic, N. Y., is the new superintendent of Letchworth Village, the largest institution in the United States for the treatment of backward children, located at Thiells, N. Y. Dr. Storrs succeeds the late Dr. Charles Sumner Little '9l, more familiarly known as 'Squash,' who died at his. post after more than twenty-five years of service.
"Dr. Storrs interned at the Mary Hitchcock Memorial Hospital in Hanover, and then went to the Maine State School for Feeble Minded at Pownall, Me. His next move was to Letchworth Village, where lie served as first assistant physician for eighteen years, and in that time became thoroughly conversant with Dr. Little's method of administration.
"In 1930 the State Department of Mental Hygiene sent Dr. Storrs to Wassaic and had him superintend the erection of the new State School. He served there as superintendent until July 1, 1937, when he assumed his new duties at Letchworth Village.
"Dr. Storrs is president of the American Association of Mental Deficients, and is one of the outstanding men in that field." Ted Glattfeld, distinguished Professor of chemistry at the University of Chicago, writes—"Had the surprise of my life tohenBob Stokes penetrated these Michiganwoods and spent a day with us recently."
Mr. and Mrs. George Hoyt of Berkeley, Calif., had expected to return for our Reunion in June. George wrote the Secretary just before Reunion that his daughter's serious illness made the trip impossible. Later in June, word came that George's daughter, Betty, had passed away. The sincere sympathy of his classmates goes to George and Mrs. Hoyt.
Two classmates, whom we missed at the goth, visited Hanover later in the summer. They were A 1 White, accompanied by his wife and son,—and Fritz Luberger, also with his wife and son.—Jack Stilphen, King McCoy, and Harry Storrs were also seen in Hanover during the summer.
Why do so many 'O7 men fail to subscribe to the ALUMNI MAGAZINE? Several appeals have brought subscriptions from much less than half of the living graduates. —Read what one classmates writes, and see if it doesn't apply to you too (if you are a non-subscriber to date).
"I have never been able to understandwhy the ALUMNI MAGAZINE has to solicitsubscriptions. Rather it seems to me thatevery man who is proud to call himself aDartmouth man should consider it one ofhis greatest; privileges to have the right tosubscribe. The MAGAZINE to me is one ofthe necessities of life, not only because itkeeps me informed about the Old Collegeand its sons and their families everywhere,hut also because of the exceedingly fineand interesting quality of the publication.I wish it were possible to receive it morethan nine times a year."
Basil O'Connor 191 a wants a 1907 Aegis. He is trying to get a complete collection of them. Who has one that he is willing to dispose of?
Miss MARY BEALS Daughter of Charles E. Beals 'O7. She isthe official class baby.
