Class of 1927
TWENTY-SEVEN'S BIG TENTH
Would that we had the ability to tease these typewriter keys into telling you a story that will convince you that come what may you have got to be back in Hanover next June. To tell you in glowing terms of the thrills, pleasure, and inspiration to be derived from renewing the friendships and associations of those neverto-be-forgotten years. To remind you of the beauties of the campus and the surrounding hills at springtime, and the pleasant memories they will recall. To hint of convivial gatherings with the brimming cup and perhaps a song or two. And lastly to assure you of four days and nights of downright fun that will make you feel ten years younger than you thought you were ten years ago. But instead we will ask you to consider the time, the place, the crowd, and then use your own imagination.
The dates of reunion are to be Friday, June 11, through Monday, June 14. We suggest you mark those days on your calendar, and maybe you'll want to check off each day from now until then.
Your committee promises a reunion tax that is reasonable, a costume that is cool, confortable, and practical, and a program that will give you plenty of free time for browsing around, visiting, and for just sitting, etc.
The new class organization is well under way and we have received enthusiastic responses from practically all of the team captains assuring us of their active cooperation. If you have not already written to your team captain stating that you intend to be back for the reunion please do so soon. The team which has the largest number back will have special insignia to wear with their costumes.
If there are a few classmates in particular that you personally would like to see at the reunion, we suggest that you write them each a letter, urging their attendance. If you need any addresses let us know the names and we will gladly send them to you.
TWENTY-SEVEN'S WHO'S WHO
Phil Thompson, Chicago investment banker, states that he will definitely attend the reunion. Phil, who is one of our few remaining bachelors, also says that his hair is still thick, but that his waist-line is thicker.
Ken Anderson is married and living in Washington, D. C„ where he is working in the Department of Commerce.
Hank Bayles took his law degree at Harvard, and in December, 1930, became counsel for the superintendent of banks of New York in the liquidation of the Bank of U. S. Henry, who is still single, admits that he is bald, but still slim of figure. He, too, will be at the reunion.
Larry Scammon worked with Raymond- Whitcomb until old man depression put a crimp in the travel business. Since then he has been with the Massachusetts Automobile Bureau, where he now holds the position of statistician. Larry and his wife Ora are living in Stoneham, Mass., and they have three youngsters, Marilyn Ann, age five, Lawrence Jr., age three, and Nancy Ellen, age one. Larry is hoping to be at the Tenth.
Rog Salinger is in the security business in Boston with Studley, Shupert, & Co., and is living with his wife Marjorie and their son, John G., age three, in Newton Center. Rog says his hobbies are tennis, golf, glee club work, and skiing. We suspect he has omitted one other which we won't mention, but when you see him at reunion ask him if he has seen Hinda.
Don Woodworth spent the first four years after graduation in the Boston office of Lee, Higginson, & Company. Since 1931 he has been with the Lakeport National Bank in Lakeport, N. H. Don and his wife Leoine have two children, Don W., age four, and Anne, age two. His hobby is philately, stamp-collecting to you. Don promises to be with us at reunion.
Frank Collier, former aviation editor of the Boston Sunday Advertiser and author of the novels "Men, Women and Rattle- snakes" and "Sin Is Man's Twin," pub- lished by William Godwin, Inc., will attend the reunion if possible. Frank solves the costume problem by suggesting a nudist reunion.
Will Shaw is still in New York City, where he is assistant treasurer and salesman for a printing concern. His hobbies are sailing, riding, skiing, and traveling. Highlights for Will during the past ten years have been four months spent in Europe, three months spent in South America, and staying single. He will be with us at the Tenth if possible.
Charlie Paddock has been with the Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company since graduation in various capacities. He is now administrator of social security and unemployment insurance for their New England division. Charlie promises to attend the reunion and will bring his "silver- toned" trumpet with him.
Rollie Howes, the San Francisco printing tycoon, looks like the winner of the prize for traveling the longest distance to reunion, for he has stated that he will be there definitely. Rollie suggests that al- though they are all probably as lousy as he, he would enjoy seeing some of the musicians such as Phil Thompson, Cliff Randall, Bob Slater, Nat Morey, Charlie Paddock, Woody Burgert, at al., back in Hanover with their respective instruments. A good idea, and we'll go to work on it.
Win Howland is still in the life insurance business out in Des Moines, lowa. He and his wife Virginia have three daughters, Anne, age three, Penelope, age two, and Elizabeth, age ten months. Win promises to be at the Tenth if possible.
Dr. Dow Mills is still practicing medicine in Westfield, N. J. He is still single, and will be back in Hanover next June with his golf clubs, no doubt.
Wilbur Kennedy is an agent for the Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company in Dayton, Ohio. He is married to Hannah Rice, and they have a daughter, Gretchen, born April 13, 1930. Wilbur will be at the Tenth if possible.
Bill Abbott, division manager of Automatic Signal Corporation in Chicago, promises to make the reunion if possible. Knowing that those stop-and-go gadgets always run, we will go even further and promise definitely that he will be back. Personally we are very anxious to see him there if, for no other reason than not wishing to display the only bald head at the reunion. Bill and his wife Barbara are living in Evanston with their daughter, Dana, and son, James Rufus.
Ceb Lee has been very busy for the past ten years building highways in New York, Pennsylvania, and Maryland. Not too tied down, however, but what he could spend a portion of each winter in the West Indies and Florida. Ceb will definitely be in Hanover for the Tenth, and will also have a good percentage of his team there.
The annual dinner of the Dartmouth Alumni Association of Boston was held at the Copley Plaza on January 28. Our class was well represented by Charlie Gibson, Hale Ham, Bill North, Charlie Paddock, John Upham, Bob Voorhis, Rog Salinger, Jay Willing, Dick Bradley Fox, Ed Johnson, Dinty Gardner, Bill Cusack, Tom Anglem, Bill St. Amant, Ding Heap, Bob Williamson, and your Secretary. Charlie Gibson drove all the way up from New Bedford, where he builds textiles for the Kendall Company, and promises that he will have a large percentage of his team back at the Tenth. Tom Anglem informed us that he has moved back to Boston, where he has opened an office on Bay State Road. We understand that Dr. Anglem is specializing in the treatment of cancer.
Everyone at the dinner assured us that he would be back at the reunion. Let's hear from you that you will be there too, and before you file those income tax returns toss three or four more bucks in that old sock so that you will surely be with us next June.
Secretary, 152 Waban Ave., Waban, Mass
