Class of 1915
Herb Potter is batting for me during the most of these items. Guess I needed a pinch-hitter anyhow, and as Herb is good on the typewriter, he should be assistant secretary;—maybe secretary. In the October issue I listed him as living in Newton Center, and that made him mad (there are so many Newton's that even the proverbial lawyer from Phila. could not keep them straight). So I inflicted myself upon the Potters for a week-end, no Carver Road, Newton Highlands, Mass., and he wrote the notes, outside of this paragraph. Good place to eat and sleep at the Potters. One time and another these secretaries seem to get away with murder just calling on their friends, when it is evident that it means bed and board for a night, at least. Fifteeners are such, and why apologize? Yet, having taken advantage of all such privileges since we were freshmen, let's do some of the following things:
Cooperate with Charlie Griffith, who has assumed the chairmanship of the committee which will raise the fund that will be available for the use of Dartmouth directly following our "85th" in 1940. Charlie is a busy man, but even so, you will hear from him directly. At a meeting at the home of Kell Rose just a short time ago, Kell and Charlie entertained Bill Reynolds, Jim Killeen, Ralph Brown, Dexter Davis, Jack Healy, Pete Cannon, Ralph Grout, Roy Lafferty, and Ray Perry. They say go to it, keeping the Alumni Fund in mind, however. Contributions to both will not hurt. Eat hamburg rather than steak once a week. Nuff said.
By the way, Charlie Griffith's new office address is at 45 East 17th St., N. Y., still with Silver, Burdett. Other changes of address which might be of interest follow notations appended in my foolish sort of way:—Ed Sanborn, the lawyer, can be found at 20 Exchange PL, N. Y.; . . . Les Dunn, the zoological expert at Columbia, lives in Riverdale, N. Y. (Why not bring Les back to Hanover,—plenty of animals up there), . . . . A 1 Livingston can be found on Lorain Rd., San Marino, Calif.; and Red Stevens around 82 Frederick Ave., in Akron, Ohio (in the event that he cannot go salmon-fishing some place). Now we will chase some more of the boys, and find Thorn Pray in the Packard Bldg. in Philadelphia, .... Phil Murdock at 120 S. LaSalle St. in a place called Chicago, .... and Mat Gray on Franklin St. in Clinton, Mo. Dud Woolworth (we have not heard from him in ages) is at 836 Main St., Niagara Falls. Johnny Bache-Wiig, with whom we used to argue one time and another, should be at 331 Water St., Augusta, Me. We need to talk with John once more, and also with Otis Hovey, who does his business from the Frick Bldg. in Pittsburgh. Might continue, and ask as to Fran Poor, Graham Bldg., Jacksonville. Jack Mason's official address we know, but cannot type very well,—Manufakturaktiebolgate, Malmo, Sweden. Jack is over for a month, after having spent a year in Sweden, and will return for the winter (wanted to see some of the football games, naturally), and claims the world's record, 8000 miles, of travel both ways, so as to witness the Harvard-Dartmouth game. What a man!
Speaking of others of our brethren who apparently like foreign soils, Art Donahue is still in Paris, but currently domiciled at 55 Rue Boileau, XVI. Lee Mac Hale, who has been with General Motors in Belgium, has been transferred to Japan, P.O. Box 151 Osaka. Bob Frothingham, however, who has been in Genoa with the Vacuum Oil Cos., has been back in this country for a few weeks. His oldest son entered Dartmouth this fall,—sad to relate, however, he broke his ankle in football practice. The other two boys are returning to school in Switzerland immediately, and Bob and Mrs. Frothingham will return to Genoa within a short time. Art Boggs is back from India, and temporarily located at Ripley Terrace, Newton Center, Mass.
Having given the facts, and some of the fancies, of several, we would like to gather some like information, as for instance, regarding Musty Spaulding, Jack Hurlburt, Art Stotter, George Hutchins (would he still mind "Nigger"?), and Harold Pinkham. As a matter of fact, we would like some information about a lot of you "cusses" who will read these items. We used to know all about you, (habits, good and bad); but times have changed,—you won't even write us about your good habits. Perhaps you will, though.
Secretary, Orleans, Vt.
