Class of 1909

Dan Watson and daughter Margery spent the last two weeks of February in Bermuda.

Reggie Bankart leaves about the first of April for his usual trip to Texas to buy wool, and probably will have to miss the graduation of his son, Robert. Henry Jr. is doing exceedingly well in the Massachusetts School of Art.

Freddie Carroll's son Robert was pledged to Sphinx, but we didn't find the name of any classmate's son among the newly elected Phi Beta Kappas. I still believe strongly in heredity, further evidenced by the fact that Roy Abbott's son has Phi Beta Kappa ranking.

Sam Bell went to California in February, as usual, to visit with his brother.

I ran into Bill Patch in the North Station the first of March, but unfortunately just about as my train was about to leave. It is the first time I have seen Bill since our 10th reunion. Bill looks just about the same as ever and seems prosperous and happy. I will get more details from him the next time he lands in Boston.

Plum Leighton is handling the Selective Process work as committee chairman in Wellesley and son Douglas is a member of the committee. Lots of fun when you can work on Dartmouth affairs in companionship with your boy. Quite a few of us are or will be in that position shortly.

Both my boys and myself came down with the grippe the day before we were to start for Hanover over the 22d of February, much to our disappointment. We are unable, accordingly, to report personally on those members of the class who attended. Fred Carroll attended, reported a large contingent of contemporary visiting firemen and a fine time.

Ingie Fearing is now sales manager for Hartley B. Gardner, Inc., dealers in a new form of multiple household fuse, and Fred Johnson is with him at 665 Atlantic Ave., Boston, Mass.

Secretary, 100 Milk St., Boston
