Class of 1912
The Secretary has a supply of extra copies of the 1912 Aegis, which can be had on Application. Quechee French, Ev Gammons, and Doc O'Connor have already sent for copies and have paid the ante of two dollars suggested by Doc. Queechee writes: "After shaking out the bookworms andmoldy [sic] tobacco (Garcia's cigar wrappers) out of the sample copy of the Aegis just received, I am enclosing my check for$2.00. As I remember it, the book cost thesame price back in 1911, so I figure I havesaved a lot of interest." Quech is lucky the book hasn't acquired an antique value as well as flavor.
The night before the Harvard game the boys gathered for dinner with other class reunions at the University Club in Boston. We had a long table, well filled by the exertions of Ray Cabot. Your Secretary usurped the place at the head which should have been filled by Doc O'Connor, but Doc apparently didn't notice it. The following showed up: Lyme Armes, Billy Baxter, Ray Cabot, Quechee French, Hal Fuller, Ev Gammons, Alvie Garcia, Bud Hoban, Bug Knight, Rollie Linscott, Eddie Luitwieler, Mike Norton, Doc O'Connor, Pett Pettingell, Pud Pond, Connie Snow, Tommy Thomas, Van Van Dyne, and Caesar Young. The boys apparently enjoyed themselves, because they stayed late about the board. Ray Cabot, Bud Hoban, Eddie Luitwieler, and Ev Gammons put in a wet morning on the Newton Country Club golf links (no scores published) Saturday morning before the Harvard game, and then got soaked again at the game.
The night following the game Rollie and Marie Linscott entertained a houseful at their house at 128 Youle St., in Melrose Mass. As house guests they had assembled from afar Cap and Mary Allen of Springfield, Fletch and Marguerite Clark from Middleboro, Bill and Dolly Flint from Concord, N. H., and Connie and Katherine Snow from Rochester, N. H. During the evening Rollie served a buffet collation in which cider, beer, doughnuts, sandwiches of your own making, and all the fixings were generously and recklessly mixed, and the following called: Ben and Josephine Adams, Lyme and Christine Armes, Billie and Dorothea Baxter, Ray and Eleanor Cabot, Husky and Dora Farnum, Quechee French and Miss Hastings, Alvie Garcia, Wallie Jones, and Eddie and Gertrude Luitwieler. The party did not break up untill the small hours of the next morning, and will long be a bright spot in the memories of all fortunate enough to attend. We need more such hosts in 1912.
From literature received it appears that Doc and Elvira O'Connor were hosts at the Yale Bowl on the following Saturday. "The O'Connor" left New York with a large party, among which were Heinie and Mrs. Urion and Paul and Philip Urion, and Harrison, Robert, Bettyann, and Sheelagh O'Connor. Your Secretary suspects there are some ringers in this list, or else Alvie's birth records are incomplete.
Quech French attended the Yale game and saw Randy Burns. Jack Cronin, Alvie Garcia, Rollie Linscott, Bob Parks, and Jim Worton.
Eight sons of 1913 entered Dartmouth this year in the class of 1941: John D. Ahlswede, son of Ollie Ahlswede of South Pasadena, Calif.; Dana C. Chase, son of Harrie Chase of Brattleboro, Vt.; F. Eugene Clark, son of Cupe Clark of Elizabethtown, Tenn.; Wallace T. Jones 3d, son of Wallie Jones of Brooklyn, N. Y.; Kenneth W. Kimball, son of Ken Kimball of West Medford, Mass.; Robert C. Mensel, son of Bush Mensel of Northampton, Mass.; Malcolm S. Smith, son of Al Smith of Pelham Manor, N. Y.; and Donald M. Taber, son of Tabe Taber of Turners Fall, Mass. Someone ought to take a picture of the entire crowd of sons of 1912 now in Dartmouth,—for the class book.
