Class of 1910
it)io HIGH UP for 'steenth time .... topped by one son for first time in six years . . . . 9 sons in '4l class against 10 from 1913, 8 each from 'O9 and 'l2. 68 sons in 6 yrs. for 1910 .... next class being half that number .... we doubt if there is any such record in Dartmouth history . . . . and see who this year's crop is, where they come from .... a delight to any Selective Process! Alphabetically, we find young Jack Bates from Tulsa, Oklahoma, son of the old hockeyteer, present oil tycoon .... and peculiarly enough, next lad is Nick Carter Jr., whose able barrister dad does plenty of high class legal business in St. Paul, Minn the fathers of these two lads were born in Somersworth, N. H. (Nick, Sept. 1, 1888 .... Jack, Jan. 18, 1889), went through Somersworth High and Dartmouth in same classes, to have their sons pop up in Dartmouth '4l at Hanover decades afterwards .... next on list is none other than Mado Crafts, son of our Ote, who holds forth in Manchester, N. H then John Everett, named after amiable Uncle Jack 'OB, Belmont, Mass., whose brother Dick is a Dartmouth sophomore, these lads, sons of Jim, the Irishman, who needs only the bat of an eye for excuse to visit Hanover, day or night, summer or winter .... San Mateo, Calif., Ed Shattuck sends on son, Jackman, to improve the O.M's Hanover record, if possible, and we're placing a li'l bet on. the kid Legal business must be good, for next lad is Inky Taylor's son, George, up from Concord, Mass., Papa Inky'll be in Hanover a lot, shootin' the golf course with Slip Powers whenever, he can date him up Good ol' Rusty Williams will have his chest out, too, now that young Rusty, who must be called Chester, is a freshman, coming from Needham, Mass. .... And that Williams maestro from Winnetka, 111., Lew to some, Billy to others, has another Dartmouth son, John this time to keep up the family, record .... these Williams second-generationers are getting thick, two of Ben's, two of Lew's, one of Rusty's, plus the 3 "originals" make 8, which equals the Hinman 8 of the first and second generations, with more Hinmans to come Getting back to the list, No. 9 lad will make California pull in her chest a coupla inches, for he's none other than Walter Winchester of Florida, son of our own Harold, a highly respected and successful doctor of Dunedin, chronic fisherman, member of the Roebling party that did marine research in the Caribbean for Smithsonian Institute last spring. . . . . What a job 1910 did for Bob Strong and his Selective Process New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Illinois, Minnesota, Oklahoma, with Florida and California pulling their punches on each other, for sake of the class!
ONE OF A SECRETARY'S DELIGHTS, as we have told you in past, is receiving a letter from some long-silent classmate .... this time Dartmouth trackman Jack Tliomes rings the gong, and what a sweet sound .... first time we've heard from Jack in yrs., and more than one Tenner will be delighted to hear, too Jack, as we've been told by other sources, practices law very successthough he says he does it "without a greatdeal of excitement," bridge being his hobby .... he adds "we have a prettygood contract bridge team and we play amatch a week all winter with teams fromBrunswick, Lewiston, Bangor, Biddeford,so have a nice time." .... Jack says that he reads the ALUMNI MAGAZINE eagerly each month .... any of the class getting down that way should look him up.
"ALBANY" HATCH kicks through with a rather interesting coincidence .... his daughter Natalie, a freshman at Skidmore, had appointed as her student advisor none other than Senior Betty Eastman, daughter of our "Easty" .... one of these days we shall make an effort, extraordinary, to get Bert Miller, "Albany," Sheldon Smith, and Russ Meredith together for a miniature reunion .... whenever we think of Bert and "Albany," we are inclined to recall the act they put on in keeping Gus Sonnenberg in Albany the summer he transferred his scholastic and athletic prowess from Hanover to Detroit .... it's a swell number when related by the head of a local knitting mill.
HAD TO LEAVE this to listen to "Dr. Rollo G. Reynolds, Headmaster of Horace Mann School," giving a lecture over nation-wide N. B. C. hook-up, subject, "Education in a World Community" .... we were spellbound, hog-tied for 30 minutes, trying to figger out how in thunder Shurtleff House ever produced any such "specimen" in the world of education If any of you rowdies never heard that Yank transplant orate, then you've missed as much as you did when you passed up Craven's courses for Music 1 Drop Rollie a line at 501 W. 120 th St., N. Y. City, requesting his secretary to send you a tipoff postal when the venerable ol' cuss goes on the air again .... it may be over your heads, bald and otherwise, but you'll know that you've listened to something.
SLIP POWERS' son Sam won Laconia Country Club championship, Labor Day .... evidently, the kid can golf on a par with the old man's snowball casting on Hanover's Main St. .... Jim Kerley, construction engineer of note, domiciles at 338 E. Washington St., Medina, Ohio. . . . . Jim Drummond who Florida-ed months last winter, is teaching at Omaha's Technical High School, residing at 317 So. 33d St James Percival Nourse is getting up in the rubber world, being now in charge of Worcester County for U. S. Rubber's tire subsidiary .... Percy always was a swell guy, and the whole doggone class will rejoice at his advancement. . . . . That lawyer feller Dave Johnson out in Cleveland has joined the GrandDaddy Club, an 81/> lbs. Marion Johnson making it possible Fletch Rogers' Hastings Pavement Cos. has located him at 25 Broad St., N. Y., Fletch, having sold all through the Mid-West, now is being sent after Eastern big shots.
SCOTT, MECHA, CHICK, FREDRICO, MECHITA (named after her mother) are sailing the Atlantic at this writing, en route to the PERRY home in Buenos Aires .... they had a grand time for two months up here in the States and some of the old gang were fortunate enough to have fine visits with them in Hanover, New York, and Boston. . .
Slip Powers, Ray Gorton, Inky Taylor, Jess Wilson, Else Jenness, Earle Pierce, j;ITI Everett having a special luncheon with him at Chamber of Commerce, Scott, un. der coercion, demonstrating that he could still pick half-dollars from Slip's soup, Earle's ears Daddy Scott saw Bob Strong, laid plans for Fredrico enterincr Dartmouth in two years, 1910 again showing its desire to help the "geographical" angle of Dartmouth's Selective Process, while contributing also to the Honors Group .... and don't you Buckaroos forget that young Harold Robinson from China is doing a nice job at Hanover .... we sure wish that word of some kind would come through from his dad, whose address is listed as "T'unghsien, Peiping East, China."
DICK FLOYD, who left us at end of freshman year to enter Harvard, is one of those fellows who has a little warm spot in his heart for Dartmouth, who left a lot of well-wishers to rejoice in his activities through life .... as most of you know, Dick practically runs all track meets in the Stadium, has been very active in Harvard alumni activities, right now being president of the Harvard Varsity Club .... during his tenancy of office the membership having increased to its peak in history, some 1,100, in this, the 50th year of its founding .... the annual dinner is being held Friday evening, Oct. 32, while 1910 will be having its round-up at the University Club The class wishes Dick the best of everything life contains!
JOHNNIE SHAMBOW is working in experimental department of United Shoe, 140 Federal St., Boston, already having had 4 patents granted to him We heard that Charlie Noone had been ill again, but no particulars as yet John VanderPyl & Wfe. have a new house that's a beauty, according' to reports Winsor Wilkinson's new address is 1955 Marin Ave., Berkeley, Calif Beezle Parker lives at 47 Dunklee St., Concord, N. H., being chief engineer, PWA, for Me., N. H., and Vt. ....

Else Jenness is getting everything all lined up for the Harvard game round-up .... more about that next time!
CHIPS .... If you want to see Hanover some time, get Andy Scarlett to act as pilot .... we thought we knew that town, but the K.P. (Kindly Prof) showed Scott Perry and me more nooks and crevices than you ever heard about Doc Basil N. D. O'Connor still hasn't his 1910 Aegis .... he's doing a little bragging about 1912 as a class, but his heart's as big as that aldermanic frontal protrusion he lugs around, said protrusion weighing around 3 or 4 stone Not long ago up in Hanover we heard Ross McKenney, the w.k. Maine guide, give a talk ... he's been hired as sort of a professor for the Outing Club, making woods trips with the boys, teaching them how to hunt, fish, take care of themselves in the woods, appreciate the beautiful things of Nature .... and unless we miss our guess, he's going to be busy and popular, with more than one lad remembering what he learned under Ross McKenney long after he forgot why x plus y didn't make L He looks like a good fellow, and won't interfere with Dartmouth's academic functions, but'll be kinder handy to have available for week-ends, holidays, and the like In an informal discussion of college presidents, we heard a man who was in a position to know, say recently that the three outstanding college presidents in America today were our own Hopkins, Dodds of Princeton, and Conant of Harvard, the latter being a man to watch. . . . .
