Class of 1919
A. V. Goldiere reports from Davidson, N. C., that he is about to build himself a house, and that the board of trustees has just elected him to a full professorship. Goldy has been at Davidson College for quite a good many years now, teaching French. And, speaking of French, Bob French has just been elected president of the Dartmouth Alumni Association of Eastern N. Y.
FOREIGN NOTES
Harold Barbour is down in Mexico, working for the Huasteca Petroleum Co.— his address is care of that company Bucareli 35, Mexico, D. F. John Fornacca seems to have slid down the boot a bit, and now wants his mail addressed American Express Co., Rome, Italy. The Rangoon Pollards, famous for coming all the way from Burma for the Fifteenth, are coming home again. Mrs. Pollard and the children are on the way now. R. P. will follow in the fall. He reports that he has been made honorary French consul, and writes on the official stationary. Closely following the announcement in this MAGAZINE that Larmon is on leave second semester, comes word that mail will reach him care of the American Express, Berlin, Germany.
Mr. and Mrs. William Hill McCarter, of Hanover, N. H., were in Boston the week-end of the Quadrangular Meet. Bill, fully Campionized, was on the floor, dashing about among the athletes. We were sorry to see him only for a moment. Paine Webber have moved over to Federal St., according to a very fancy announcement which was created by Phil Bird. So far as we know they took Rock Hayes with them. Further indications that we are in the wrong business, if you can call it that: McCrea, big California fruit advertising genius, just spent about ten days in New York—and Batch and Harriet Batchelder have just put away a trip to Bermuda. Next fall we are going to sell travel advertising in the Nineteen News.
Big news of the month is that announcing the birth of one Alan Frisbee Munro to Mr. and Mrs. L. W. Munro of Boston and Cohasset. Mun, commenting on the name, says, "A good old Scotch name,"but we can't seem to remember any Scotch by that name. What fun that boy will have being, as an undergraduate, the son of the oldest living alumni. And Spider reports that Bob Paisley has been made a partner in the business of R. L. Pritchard and Co. As a result about fifty leading lights in the hemp business gathered on February 11 to do him honor. The crowd was made up of customers and competitors, in fact everybody of any importance in the industry in New York. The only outsiders were two representatives of the class of 1919. They were Bill Picken and Spider Martin. The evening was a great success, as can best be judged by the fact that the speaking, including the time spent in presenting a wrist watch, was all done in one minute and a half, thus leaving plenty of time for other indoor sports.
Last Sunday we were tearing down Prospect St. in Framingham when we chanced to look up at Hawka Hawks' house, where we so comfortably convalesced last summer. We stopped and looked again. We could see right through the place. This called for a little investigating, and we drove in, found Hawka rambling around the innards and asked, "Why?" It seems Horace has moved out and is having the old place torn down preparatory to building himself a new house. It should be a fine spot when he gets it done, for it is one of the loveliest places in Middlesex county.
Spider tells me that he has a good start on the fund, with 100 men already in. This next month will tell the story, when we try to get the other 100 necessary to make the showing '19 should make. Why don't we all send along our pledge cards today and save Spider a lot of work. We are going to raise $4,000 this year, and so boost along our class fund toward the goal we want to reach in the next few years. Consequently we need everybody in this time—do it now.
