1920*

The Group Subscription Plan has started to function. With the increase in the number of subscribers there has been a proportionate increase in the amount of class news submitted.

The biggest surprise and a very enjoyable one was a long note from Mel Merritt. First he takes a blast at business conditions, and then he settles down to the real issue—golf. Mel started the season with a bad back, which made his score look like most of ours on a good day. However, after Old Sol got in the necessary licks Mel shot some real golf. He was runner-up in the New England amateur championship and only missed qualifying for the National by one stroke (149 for 36 holes). Recently, Mel was appointed secretary-treasurer of the Massachusetts Golf Association.

Speaking of New England golf, Ben Ayres is right up in there too. Ben says nothing about it in his note, but does comment on the rescue work he and Charlie Crathern did during the hurricane in September. A Dartmouth outing in Worcester roused seven '20 men. Ben didn't state who they were.

Gene Fiske, the genial but single postmaster of Mount Vernon, N. Y., had no particular news, just wanted to say hello and hoped the boys would kick in on what he thought was a good way to line up the class.

Hal Bernkopf hadn't been heard from for some time, but he claims that it was due to a lack of news. Hal's act is to see that Filene's branch shops turn in the proper profit. A new store in Portland, Me., and an enlargement in Wellesley, Mass., seem to be the present objectives.

Dick Pearson sent no news about himself but did attach newspaper clippings which stated that Bill Carter has bought a house in Norwich, Vt., and is now commuting to his classes in Hanover; Warrie Chamberlain has taken charge of fashion advertising with Parent's Magazine.

Dr. J. J. H. Lappin of Portland, Me., writes that he attended the Beta convention, at Poland Springs with Bake and family. When we put a pin on 'em it stays put.

"Candidate" McGoughran sent on some very definite and interesting information about Macy's Jerry Stone, to wit, "He's either going to Europe on biz or Florida on vacation during October." The Sinclair service station near Hanover will need plenty of looking over this fall, or, in other words, Charlie will see all the games in Hanover.

Ed Stein says, "I hope you will receive the quick response your letter deserves."

Nothing much to report on the '20's in Albany. Ride in on the bus occasionally with Joe Lindsey—still teaching at Albany Academy. See Stan Conway noon hours, but rarely see Ned De Rouville, as he commutes to Cohoes, which is about 15 miles north of Albany.

Many interesting changes in address reported as follows. Insurance—Broker Randolph Eddy has moved to 74 Beacon St., Boston. The trip from Brookline was apparently too much for him.

After about 6 years Don Mac Donald returns to Boston. He is still with Life magazine, and his offices are in the Statler Bldg. Don is living on Stonebridge Road, Andover. Another addition to the Twenty Club in New England; Chemist Lyon Southworth has moved north from the U. of Virginia and is now connected with Converse Memorial Laboratory, a part of Harvard. He is living at 1116 Mass. Ave. in Lexington.

So that there won't be too many Dartmouths teaching the Harvards, Sam Stratton has left his professorship of finance. He will now try the practical end of it in the Harvard Trust Co., Cambridge.

Two more New England items—Pab Sample has returned from Europe and is now established at 8 Brockway Road, Hanover; Sam Center has moved in Keene, N. H., to 17 Castle St. I'll bet he didn't see much of his new home during and after the hurricane in September. ...Sam, you know, is with the Telephone Co.

Now in and around N. Y.... Sometime Class Secretary Art Stockdale after 7 years has moved one street downtown,—to 235 East 22d St., New York City. Art's with the Cosmopolitan magazine Lawyer Bill Fuguet now resides at 1065 Lexington Ave., New York—office still Broad St. but now No. 15.

Duke Bellen may or may not have left Tidewater, but he reports that he has left New York and his business address is 1585 Main St., Bridgeport, Conn. He is living in Riverside, Conn Bob Van- Iderstine has moved within Tenafly, N. J., new address 16 N. Brae Court.

On the Coast: Paul Bowerman still in Los Angeles, but at 1032 sth Ave. Accountant Zenas Forbush is with the Los Angeles Athletic Club. When we last heard from Zen, 1930, he lived in Pasadena, Calif.—he still does, but has moved to 1135 Elizabeth St.

This month's column is going to end with a quotation from a recent letter from Rock, "... remind the boys that Brother Elliott is out on a limb if they don't come across."

Secretary, 158 State St., Albany, N. Y.
