1910*
A COLLEGE RECORD was established when 14 1910 sons received Dartmouth diplomas in June at Hanover No Dartmouth class has ever approached those figures, and we'll claim the honors until your one-time Chem prof and present-day College historian, "Cheerless" Richardson, submits evidence to the contrary In the meantime, he and Andy Scarlett, who are in the same department, can argufy the situation.
FOURTEEN RECORD BREAKERS are Allan Boerker (son of Dick), John Coleman (Obbie), Howard Fogg, Richard Higbee (Ed), Blake Johnson (Dave's No. 2 to graduate), Charles Moses (Lester), George Rollo Reynolds (Rollie's No. 2), Joseph Shenstone (Ossie), Vining Sherman (Nate), Richard Sherwin (Shing), Robert Stix (Ed), Ben Williams (Ben's No. 2), Lewis Williams (Lew), Francis Worcester (Shorty) There would have been another.... pneumonia compelled Herb Wolff's son Alfred to spend a year in Arizona, but the lad told me at Commencement he'd be back this fall. Dud Meredith graduated from Tuck School in May.
DICK SHERWIN won honors in English Blake Johnson graduated "with distinction in sociology." .... Ben Williams was a Senior Fellow Howard Fall made Cum Laude Dud Meredith won honors at Tuck At various times I have met many of the 1910 sons at Hanover, and there are some fine boys among them 1910 has so far outstripped all other Dartmouth classes in sending its male offspring to Hanover that comparisons are a bit embarrassing One deciding factor in many cases has been the fine ALUMNI MAGAZINE that has gone into the home of every 1910 man for 8consecutive years It has unconsciously created a Dartmouth consciousness that sent son after son to the Hanover Plain, with more to follow.
TENNERS THEMSELVES seen around Commencement, according to joint memory of Andy Scarlett and myself, were Fletch Burton, Beezle Parker, Rollie Reynolds, Bones Jones, Lester Moses, Ed Higbee, Karl Maerker, Chan Baxter, Ben Williams, Obbie Coleman, Shorty Worcester, Lew Williams, Shing Sherwin, Charlie Fay, Jim Everett, Dick Boerker, Cliff Lyon, Dick Vincens, Doc Foster, Nate Sherman, Don Palmer, Howard Fogg A lot of visiting around and reuning was done, something that is an increasing custom in non-reuning years It was another fine Commencement, as those of us who were privileged to attend can testify.

THE GROUP SUBSCRIPTION PLAN is really going places Started some years ago by 1911 but dropped after a year or so; picked up by 1910 in 1930 and maintained since then for a record number of consecutive years to give complete classcoverage; now sponsored by the Alumni Council and Secretaries Association; endorsed by President Hopkins and the administration, it has 31 classes enlisted at this date, Sept. 8, with more to follow You Tenners, who have supported the Plan so loyally for the last 8 years, can feel a distinct pride in having pioneered, through good and bad, something that is now being adopted by the Dartmouth alumni b0dy..... you proved that the idea was sound, that it could be financed mostly by class dues without burden on anyone, and you have the very definite satisfaction in knowing that each month, each year the MAGAZINE goes into the homes of all Tenners.
YOU CAN'T KEEP THEM AWAY. .... The lure of Hanover pulls men to New Hampshire Beezle Parker, a consulting engineer of note, has bought a house and settled down in Concord Jim Everett has left the state of his nativity to become a legal resident of Old N. H., settling down at Nashua, with residence at 4 Auburn St., business at 128 Burke St., and one of these days we'll be seeing the Everett ensemble building a nice Irish cottage on a Granite State hill We know another w.k. Tenner family from Mass. that is seeking a homesite in or around Hanover, to build a fine home that will house them in happiness for the rest of their days The gates are open, there are plenty of opportunities to buy town and country homes in the general area.
SEND IN SOME NEWS ITEMS about your family, yourself, some other' Tenner. .... The supply is low, and we need help powerful bad .... you can always find my address at top of the class column.
JOE DA VIDSON has been summering up in our old New Hampshire home town, North Stratford Ed Shattuck is very happy at being transferred back East, being in the N. Y. headquarters of Geo. H. Morrill Cos., printing ink experts, address 100 6th Ave you can bank on seeing Ed at football games and in Hanover, where son Jack will be a sophomore
Dick Leonard, son of Thos., won New Hampshire Junior Golf title. . . .

J The George Aliens vacationed on the Maine coast Does anyone know where Ralph Baldwin is?
NICK CARTER, St. Paul barrister of note, had a long and serious illness, being in the hospital from Feb. 14 to June 11, followed by convalescence at home, but definitely headed for good recovery Our sympathy went to Nick for his long hospitalization, having had a fairly good taste of it ourselves However, there was always much compensation in the thought that no matter how bad off we were, we could always see some poor bugger around who was much worse, so all in all, I have felt that we should be thankful to be as well as we all are It would be nice to see Nick East this fall for the Harvard game roundup, using Dartmouth sophomore, Nick Jr. as an excuse for the trip.
HORACE EBERLY, successful manager for United Drug in St. Louis, wrote Easty, "I religiously read the 1910 column in the MAGAZINE, and follow the College with in- terest. Hanover must look great this time of the year, and a visit there would be a welcome change from business affairs." .... Charlie Devine's address is care of Mrs. T. H. Devine, Pine Drive, Beulah, Colo Ferdinand Armstrong could be found this summer at Friendship, Me. .... George Sinclair, insurance tycoon, writes, "Don't make any more cracks about my 'portly and prosperous' appearance. I am touchy on the former and the second is not true. See you the night before H-D game at the University Club .... to which your O.S. (Observing Sec'y) comments: A blind man couldn't miss George's aldermanic appearance, and as for the next, "Ol" Sinkit got bumped around pretty hard in the early 30's like most of the rest of us, but plenty of courage and faith brought him back in a manner everyone admires.
1910 SONS We're anxious to find out what sons are entering this fall We do know that Micky Holmes' son Bill is one of them, also Sid Bull's lad, who is already a star distance runner in his own right The Gay Gleasons (Legalite Gaius, wife, daughter Persis, and Noel) got a 3 col. July 4 Boston Herald picture by sailing for Europe on the Carinthia. .... Later Gay sent a card from Lindhurst, England, showing "Dartmouth, the College," being a very large building (or some close combination of them) sprawled along a hill side It's sizeable, but a long stride from the Dartmouth we all know The Monty Falls also Europed through Copenhagen, Stockholm, Norway, Scotland, London, Paris.
DON'T FORGET the Big Roundup night-before-the Harvard game in Boston .... last year we had a whale of a good turn-0ut.... this year should be a repeater The meeting of the Alumni Council at that time should help to bring in some far-away Tenners Remember the date, Friday, Oct. 21.
CONGRATULATIONS to the Twin Class Agents, John VanderPyl and Ray Seymour, for doing their customary fine job, advancing the class two places over the 1937 standing, and reaching 87% of the objective of $3,972 which was the highest of any class in the Dartmouth alumni body For some years 1910's objective as allocated by the Fund Committee has exceeded that of any other class Even though 1910 was exceeded in amount raised this year by 1913, 1926, 1911, and 1914, we still rank with the three classes having given the greatest totals since the Fund was first started John and Ray did a grand good job.

IRVING SCOTT continues to do a good job as vocational instructor in the Guidance Dept. of the Boston public schools. ....
