1906*

The class dinner at the Algonquin Club on the night before the Dartmouth-Harvard game was a great success.' On no occasion has any class affair been more pleasant and successful than this one. The dinner, which was arranged by Ned French and Bob Wallace, was perfect in every way. Dave Main of Denver held the record for coming the longest distance, and his delightful talk was greeted with -great enthusiasm. Eph Smith's guest from Newport, Vt.,—Captain C. A. Davis, Dartmouth '95—showed the usual Yankee shrewdness when he said he would prefer to be with the class of 1906 than with any other class which had ever graduated from Dartmouth.

Many favorable comments were made by the men on the intelligent countenances as well as gentlemanly manners of Bob Blood's boy Rogers, class of '44, and Charlie Main's son Charles ad of the class of x 93838- Everyone agreed that if these two youngsters are fair samples of the present generation of college men, a striking improvement has taken place.

The following men were present at the dinner: Bill Bell Eric Kelly Bob Blood Nat Leverone Rogers Blood '44 Charlie Main T. Brown Charles Main 2d, '38 Con Chellis Dave Main Randall Cooke Bill McGrail C. A. Davis '95 Charlie Milham Shorty Davis Cliff Perry Roy Denison Walter Powers Hal Edgerton Norm Russell Ned French Eph Smith Max Hartmann Bob Wallace Arthur Holmes Harvey Whittemore

Our Chid, pastor of the First Congregational church, Winchester, Mass., received some publicity in the Winchester Star on the occasion of his speech before Everyman s Bible Class at the First Baptist church, Sunday, October go. His subject was, "Men, It's Your Business to Co-operate. The class will be glad to learn that old "Who's Who" himself is making this effort to create more friendly relations among his fellow men.

Clyde Souter, Nevada's outstanding attorney, has been working very hard to get as many members of our class together as possible for a meeting before the Stanford game. A quotation from a letter should appeal to everyone:

"Out here in the Far West, where many of us have not had the chance to see a Dartmouth team since the last time Dartmouth came to Palo Alto, we are all agog and adither, like a girl after her first kiss, concerning one certain engagement the Dartmouth team has this year with Stanford."

New York and Boston papers recently carried the following announcement regarding one of Charlie Main's sons—Sam: "Captain and Mrs. Charles C. Baldwin of Freeport, Long Island, have announced the engagement of their daughter, Miss Cynthia Baldwin, to Mr. Samuel Frost Main, of Winchester, Mass. Miss Baldwin was graduated this June from Smith College. Mr. Main is a graduate of Tabor Academy and of Dartmouth College.

Gene Smith as counsel for the Bureau of Internal Revenue seems to be dividing his time now between the head office in Washington and the branch office in New York City. Ned Redman, Tommy Gordon, and some of the other people who met with me in the Dartmouth Club in New York the other evening are looking forward to having him drop in to see the '06 crowd when he comes back to town.

Henry Ladd and his family spent an extremely pleasant week end not long ago with Dan Hatch and his family at his attractive summer home on Lac Marois, Quebec. He reports that Dan is just as athletic as he was years ago and is still fighting to keep his title as tennis champion.
