1912*

One hundred and fifty-seven contributors from the class of 1912, or 76% of the class contributed $2,768.50 to the Alumni Fund this year. Although the class reached only 81% of its objective, much credit is due to Pett Pettingell, our genial and efficient class agent.

Your Secretary had a good visit with Lyme Armes on the square in Rochester the other day. Lyme and Mrs. Armes were spending their vacation at the ancestral home in Northwood, N. H. Lyme is with Advertising Management, Inc., 143 Newbury St., Boston. A letter from him dated July 27, with which your Secretary would like to regale the class in full, describes a visit of Quechee French to the home of Ben Adams at East Derry, N. H., a day or two after the removal of his teeth. Quech arrived looking all folded up like a Monday morning accordion, and to keep him from frightening the Persian cat, which was in a delicate condition, Ben took Quech for a little walk over the Adams acres "not more'n a quarter of a mile," says Ben, "but Quech came back oozing gumdrops, and inquiring whether they had been anywhere near Wilder Dam." Ben enumerated what Quech ate for supper, including salted peanuts, which Quech masticated successfully by breaking them in pieces with his forefinger on the red rim of his reinforced concrete lower jaw until they were reduced to size to the point where he could get a good grip on them with his "gooms."

Quech and Lyme were among half a dozen pickerel fishermen included in a week-end house party on July 17, at Ben Adams's. It seems that Ben has a houseful every week-end, and that those who tire of bridge and other forms of indolence may stroll down to the edge of the sloping lawn and "hist" pickerel by day and horned pout by night right out of a private lake which never seems to get fished. Ben has a set of fishpoles 20 feet long, which he claims Quech ordered from Roy Lewis' store in Lebanon, and reversed the charges on the telephone call when he put in the order.

Lyme was also at Commencement in June, where he saw Harry Trapp, Bud Hoban, Roy Lewis, and Mauritz Hedlund. Lyme spent a lot of time in the Baker Library, and reported on the Orozco murals, that they were an excellent example of early twentieth century Mexican primitives, and worth about a dime a dozen in the art of the world. His comment On the Eleazar Wheelock murals in process of creation was "they filled an entirely different niche, and for the purpose, this job is being splendidly done. They will last as long as laughter and fantasy have any local values at Dartmouth."
