Class of 1910
[NOTE: Owing to a combination of circumstances, of which one was a delay ofthree weeks in postal delivery of his lettercarrying manuscript, Mr. Hinman's classnotes were omitted from the last issue.Upon discovery of the omission the noteswere mimeographed and mailed to 1910subscribers. ' The editors regret that Mr.Hinman's clear record of seven years insubmitting monthly notes to the MAGAZINE was interrupted but so far as we areconcerned he is still 100%.—ED.]
LAST MONTH Uncle Sam slipped us one below the belt .... punctual to a fault, we maintained a perfect record for 7 yrs., feeding you lads a bunch of hash through hell and highwater, hospitalization and Fla. sun, always a few jumps ahead of the sheriff .... only to have a No. x perforation job done with no chance to put up our guard .... your March class notes were duly prepared and mailedon Feb. 3, seven days ahead of schedule, to reach Alumni Ed. Comstock in time for publication .... when we received the MAGAZINE early in March and found no 1910 representation therein, we were sore as a pup at first but cooled off ... . later investigation revealed that the envelope with a printed address never did get postmarked here in Albany until Feb. 27, and even then did not reach Chelsea, Vt., until Mar. 5 . . . . the whole thing don't add up right .... anyway, we got a better break than the man over in Canaan, N. H., who mailed a postal on Feb. 11, 1905, to a friend in 30-miles-away Tilton, stating that he would call within a few days, said card being received on March 3, 1937 .... Sid Hayward was darn decent in the whole thing, and mimeographed the missing items, mailing them to the entire class. . ... So what? You'll continue to get your porridge with an occasional reminder of your college days when the Commons dietician was the 260 lbs. ox-like butcher who strutted around like a modern Greek wrestler!
ANDY, BERTHA, AND MARJORIESCARLETT are sabbatical-yearing in N. Y Andy is taking courses, advanced to you, in chemistry, while Marjorie goes to a tutoring school, and Bertha, well, she's doing the town .... in May they expect to take a boat for Italy and spend about three months in Europe .... Switzerland, Austria, Germany, Denmark, France, and England .... education and travel .... Andy and Bertha rate high in 1910 circles, and the class extends its sincere wishes for complete enjoyment during their vacation.

Silks, linens, jade,and all the treasures of the Orient willtempt her beyond control. We had aSWELL time in Japan and are on our wayto Singapore. Smooth seas, fair skies, justlike our Dartmouth of 1910." .... Then again on Feb. 19 from Naples, "Spent yesterday in Cairo. Have had a marvelous tripso far. Japan MOST interesting ....

Aden and Egyptlike tales out of a story book . ... we arenow in the Mediterranean, blue as can be. . . . next Italy and Sicily, and then wehead for HOME. Having seen it all,HOME still suits us best." .... The card from Naples reached us 7 days ahead of the card from Singapore.
A SECRETARY'S DELIGHT is one of those letters, long awaited, little expected, and full of human interest .... we'll serve you a few extracts from such an epistle, penned and mailed by one oldtime basketeer, K. Brady, ". . . . theworld changes. Remember when we werein Hanover, those gloomy Sundays . . . .
nothing to do except take a walk or playpoker. Now there are golf and tennis, andperhaps some day we'll even see a footballgame in Hanover on a Sunday afternoon.So cheer up, the sun still shines, and nextfall we'll get another chance to make itthree straight over Yale. I see quite a number of the boys down here, and whateverviews they have on other things, whetherthey are Democrats, Republicans, Socialists, Communists, Jews, Gentiles, or followers of the Great God 'Bud,' they are asone in their devotion and their love totheir college and our college ....

WE HANOVER'D not long ago, freelanced all over the place, dotaged in a bull session until 2.30 A.M., and didn't feel more than 95 the next daylight period . . . . saw Lew Wallace, Inky Taylor and wife, whose son enters in the fall
Dave Storrs in the family book emporium. .... Bob Strong busy to his gills, choosing next fall's freshman class Al Dickerson, who groans under the wgt. of 700 mimeographed "Bulletins" of easy reading Earl Blaik looking swell after a good batch of Arizona sunshine (plenty of intensive spring practice to fill up the gaps) Harry Hillman still shooting that starting-gun back of immobile Jeff Tesreau, without desired results.
.... Harry has a swell track team, and Jeff's two best pitchers were on pro, but philosophical Tesreau wades right through Hanover weather, tough schedules, and gets a pretty nice ball club per annum, which goes for this season as well (one of his best catcher prospects is nicelooking, happy Joe Urban, brother of Boston College's famous Luke) .... had a grand time, ate around town .... a very well and favorably known Main St. eating-house (not College-owned) entertained us during a coupla meals with trained cockroaches doing a rhumba on the wall back of our head .... we left town, happy in the knowledge that "theold order still prevaileth" in spite of modern fact-finding, modern experimentation .... men still belong to the human race.

I occasionally pinchhit in a Sunday School class of boys, 13 years old or so, and brother, you have to possess something if you want their undivided attention for a space of 60 seconds . . . . sometimes I can do it, and other times I don't quite make it ... . anyway, I have a lot of fun."
HERE'S HOPING the old buckboard don't break down this month .... and that you get your soup per schedule.
