Class of 1913
Since the column for the March issue was ready we have learned more of Tom Scully's death, in a letter from his mother. Tom contracted his illness in the tropics, and in June he left for New Mexico to build a dam, but the altitude was too high for him and he returned to Montclair. From the time of his return home until his death on January 29, he was confined to the house.
Full information arrived from Bill Pierce. Arthur Newton Pierce is the name of the young hopeful whose arrival was reported previously, omitting the fact that he was 9 lbs. 14 oz. at birth. He is to be a regular on the Green team. Bill is to revive the regular alumni luncheons in Barrington, R. I., for there are 15 or so Dartmouth men "in the small town."
Herb Jones' son, Donald Stuart Jones, is at Tufts College, where he is living at the Theta Delt house (Emmett Pishon et als take note). Herb says that he never has been able to find out why Don chose Tufts, but "he seems to be happy there and hassatisfied the necessary scholastic requirements." Barbara Eleanor Jones is a sophomore in the Roger Ludlow High School in Fairfield, Conn., and Robert Louis Jones, about to, "is still in grade school." Herb has been, as a representative of Stone and Webster, vice president in charge of finance of the Bridgeport Brass Company since 1933.
"Buck" Freeman was the sole 1913 representative at the annual dinner of the Washington, D. C., alumni on February 26. The group at dinner stayed to listen to the Pontiac broadcast from Webster Hall.
A letter from Carl Shumway reads in part:
"This week, the February issue of TheSportsman carries a five-page feature article by me entitled 'The Man Who Put America on Skis.' Fred H. Harris, Dartmouth '11, is the man referred to, and the story traces his ski activities through 34 years, through his founding of the Dartmouth Outing Club and the U. S. Amateur Ski Association and the Brattleboro Outing Club down to the 1932 Olympic winter games at Lake Placid.
"Just before the winter season started, the new publisher of the Boston Transcript offered me such an attractive proposition for a day to a day and a half of my time each week, to be editor of their Old Man Winter page, that I could not afford to turn it down. This Old Man Winter page, America's pioneer winter sports page, was started at my suggestion some six years ago. Numerous references to Dartmouth men and Dartmouth affairs are carried in this Friday page. Kindly letters come in to me each week from all Over the nation, so
apparently its readers run from coast to coast.
"Last spring and last fall at the start of the first flights of the Hindenburg to the United States, and also during its last two flights to the United States, I was down for two weeks' flying duty at the Naval Air Station, Lakehurst, N. J."
