1907*
Every 1907 graduate has received a letter from the Secretary announcing the adoption of the "class group subscription" plan for the 1938-39 college year. Since this plan is believed to be mutually beneficial to each member of the class, to the college, and to the ALUMNI MAGAZINE, a brief supplemental explanation of the plan in this column seems justified.
The plan means that you, and every other 1907 graduate, will receive each number o£ the ALUMNI MAGAZINE during the college year just starting. And it means that the college will have a better-informed alumni body than ever before. And the MAGAZINE, with its larger circulation, an opportunity to make one of the best magazines of its kind a still better one.
The plan, adopted by 1907 for the current year, can be made permanent only if it is approved and supported by 1907 graduates.
Here are a few samples of the views expressed by a few of your classmates:
"Hope this (the Secretary's letter) will wake up the 49% who have not subscribed to the MAGAZINE."—Ed Barker.
"I think it was an excellent idea to furnish each 1907 graduate with the MAGAZINE. It is the best and most looked-for publication that comes to our house."— Harry Pelren.
"Will be interested to receive the MAGAZINE as always."—Arthur Leavitt.
"Here's mine.—Glad you subscribed for me."—Jack Hart.
"Keep up the good work."—Charlie Richardson.
"I approve your subscribing to the class group plan and trust that 1907 will stand back of you 100%. Best wishes."—Harry Whitaker.
Phil Chase writes, "We have moved into a new house,—a little further out in the country. My new residence address is Penn Valley, Montgomery County, Pa., and my residence mailing address is P. O. Box 150, Bala-Cynwyd, Pa."
Arthur Leavitt visited Hanover briefly early in September with his wife and daughter.
Ruth Wadsworth Beals, daughter of Rev. and Mrs. Charles Beals, was married to Mr. Harry Clemens Buell on Septem- ber 17, at Petersham, Mass.
Edward K. Woodworth '97, brother of Charlie Woodworth '07, died on September 28 in Cambridge, Mass.
One of the joys of the secretaryship is the pleasure of hearing from the men who are far away and not often to be seen in the East. Here are some quotations from a recent letter from George Hoyt, Berkeley, Calif.
"Of our class, I see Frank Garby very rarely. Frank has his office in the Mills Building in San Francisco. Bruno Kimball was here last winter. We had many good visits. His daughter works a half-mile from my Oakland office. Had hoped Bruno would stay here, but he has not returned from Ogden. Bill Cummings also stopped in San Francisco for a day or so. Our older daughter, 27 years old, married a fine graduate of University of California and the law school. He is assistant city attorney of Berkeley. Our older son, Harry, is finishing his last half year at U. C.—Our younger son, Dave, has had two years at U. C. and is staying out this half year anyway."
Word has just come that John Tarbell is now associated with W. T. Boyd & Sons, Inc. (dealers in milk, cream, and ice cream mix), at their Winchester office, 23 Shore Road, Winchester, Mass.
Here is an intensely interesting report of a fine Dartmouth family from an enthusiastic classmate:
"My occupation is that of the manufacture of chemicals, dyestuffs, etc., etc., that of my wife the maintaining of peace and harmony in a family of four sons, two daughters-in-law, three grandsons, etc. I think she is more successful than I.
"Our sons' interests are: "Victor R. King '31, Harvard Law '34, is a lawyer in Plainfield, N. J.—Hopkins and King. He has one son aged 9 months, —Victor E. D. King-and reports being very busy.
"Jamie H. King '34 is secretary of the Technical Coatings Co., New York City, makers of corrosion resisting paints. He has two sons, Jamie Van R. King and John King, aged 43/4 and 314. He lives in Summit, N. J.
"Gene G. King '39 is a senior in Hanover, chairman of Cabin and Trail, may study to become a lawyer when through college and through winning sailing races.
"Thomas A. King, Lawrenceville '40, should become Dartmouth '44 and may study medicine after his present interest in playing first base, sailing, and fencing subsides.
"These boys are much better than their father was in almost any activity and we are hopeful that may continue.
"Although we haven't developed any noticeable body squeaks yet, we did take it 'kind of' easy skiing down the slides at Woodstock last winter. We are in favor of more weather control so there is softer snow and more of it to fall in and around Hanover! Outside of that I know of no single think I'd rather do than spend considerable time there enjoying the incredible facilities our College now offers." —Vic King.
