Class of 1910

UNPREDICTABLE JIM MACPHERSON tucks another newssheet in his vest pocket, this time it being the Portland Evening News, Maine's only Democratic paper, which will be conducted in the future as an "independent" .... this paper with the Framingham News and the Bangor Daily Commercial gives Publisher Jim, his offspring and their young friends, an interesting future in the newspaper field, and we are not sure that the period of acquisition is ov«r Phil Forristall visited with Karl Maerker in Pittsburgh not long ago .... we ran across Jim Everett on the street this week, invited him to a Rotary luncheon, Textilist Sir James declining with considerable dignity, saying, "I don't feel in a psalm-singingmood this noon, for I'm trying to collect acoupla million bucks in this section of thehemisphere." . . . .Jim Ingalls has just completed a very successful year as president of the Dartmouth Alumni Association in Glens Falls.

THE SCOTT PERRYS are back in Buenos Aires, where they are now enjoy- ing another summer after having had a delightful trip in the U. S it won't be long before young Fred returns to enter Dartmouth in the fall of 1939, which means in all probability that Scott and the rest of his fine family will be up for our reunion in 1940, the College, class, and Hanover all possessing very strong sentimental appeals all the Perrys Art Gow is a rate and research expert with the Federal Communications Commission, and resides at 2445 15th St., N. W., Washington. .... Russ Palmer, owner of Palmer Associates, Inc., has his offices at 360 No. Michigan Ave., Chicago Ed Shattuck has written us that his wife Gretchen is definitely convalescing after the very serious illness which required intravenous feeding daily for four weeks, and three blood transfusions .... Ed says that his freshman son Jack, who was called home from Hanover because of his mother's illness, is "sold on the College and is veryhappy there."

EASTY, who cheered many of the class with his optimistic statements at time of the Harvard game dinner, is apparently willing to go on record again .... it's darn good reading, any way, and we'll pass it along to you: "I don't know how youfellows in the East are feeling at this time,but I want you to know that I am moreoptimistic than when I saw you in Bostonin November. I think we made the turn inDecember, but I think more people aregoing to miss the turn. A great majority ofpeople will wake up about ninety daysfrom now and find out that we are well onthe ivay to recovery. Anyhow, Hap, I amgoing to stick to my strong convictions thatwe are not in another great depression, butthat back in August we started a precipitous decline, which will prove to be merelya corrective movement, or a so-called recession. Six months from now you will begin to realize that we are headed for a veryprosperous era of four or five years."

HAROLD WINCHESTER, 1910's able Dunedin, Fla., doctor, who has a freshman son at Hanover, finally consented to emerge from his long silence and let the class in on a part of the scientific explorations which he has pursued in Caribbean waters with his friend Roebling (grandson of Brooklyn Bridge Roebling) .... here are a few extracts from his letter: "The best day of the vacation was a trip to the Citadel of Christophe, the Black Emperor of Haiti. The village of Milot was reached by car from Cap Haitien, where the yacht lay. The ruins of Christophe's palace, Sans Souci, are really beautiful, and the mental reflections in the room where he shot himself with a silver bullet are somewhat confusing. Diminutive horses, urged up by black boys who continually beat them with sticks, transported us to the Citadel. About a two hours' ride. The trail, said once to have been a wide road, wound up the mountain side part of the way through jungle and part through perpendicular corn fields or banana plantations. The masonry portion of the fortress, is in fair condition, but the wooden roofs have fal- len in. It seemed to me there were a thou- sand old cannon, many still on their wooden mountings, and acres piled with rusty cannon balls. All toted up by man power. Why build a fortress on the top of a mountain too far away to protect any- thing worth having except Christophe's own miserable life? Anyhow, it is some monument. An earlier incident might amuse you. Parenthetically, as a Smith- sonian expedition we were supposed to have diplomatic immunity from customs interference. Two days west of Habana, we were anchored among reefs many miles from shore, and had spent the evening fishing with a submarine light and secured some really valuable specimens. All hands had turned in late and were sound asleep, when we were aroused by a great bump on the side, followed by the clatter of heavy boots on deck and much unintelligible shouting. Investigation revealed about a dozen armed men all over the yacht, with a small sloop alongside us. Were they pirates? or customs men? We could not understand them, nor they us. They turned out to be Cuban coast guardsmen, just investigating. After looking over our pickled fish specimens, I think they decided we were just crazy scientists, so they departed and we tried to go to sleep."

A COMING STAR

"THE MOST PROMISING SKIER OFTHE YEAR" is the 1910 son Eddie Wells, according to "Sports Illustrated" . . . . one finds 1910's sons in almost every line of activity around the Hanover campus. .... Worthy of special note was the election of John Cowan '4O, son of Pip, to the assistant varsity football managership, which will probably bring the Duluth Cowans to Dartmouth football games for the next two falls Dick Everett and Bud MacPherson are on the Glee Club. . . . . JV footballer Bob Unangst keeps in condition this winter through intra- mural wrestling Joe Shenstone is busy with offstage work in putting on the Winter Carnival show Ray Unangst is on Harry Hillman's two-mile relay team Bill Tucker takes part in some of the plays at the Little Theatre in Robinson Hall That all-round lad, Ben Ames Williams Jr., Senior Fellow, who writes monthly "The Undergraduate Chair" for ALUMNI MAGAZINE, took time off to win a ski race for his Carcajou team .... in the same race Dick Higbee took third place Sam Powers, the golfer, is fully as good a student as his old man Slip was .... he is majoring in classics, has taken both Latin and Greek each of his three years in college, being the only member of his junior class taking advanced Latin, and sharing his advanced Greek with one other lad. .... Sam is slated to follow the legal footsteps of his father and grandfather. . . . . You buckaroos of 1910 are in a privileged class, for according to present computations, you can look ahead to a long string of 1910's sons at Hanover until little Johnny Hobbs graduates at our 50th Reunion.

MRS. BARTLETT has kindly sent us in the following about Mike . . . . "After leaving Dartmouth, he went to theWest Coast, where he attended the University of Oregon, and was out there severalyears, returning East in 1916, when hestarted in the paper business. Leaving thebusiness in charge of his father, he enlisted and went to war. After the zuar heresumed his business, known as the EasternPaper Company in Philadelphia, which heowned and operated very successfully until the time of his death. We were married in April, 1926, and have one daughter, Jane Eleanor, now ten years old. InJune, 1935, he was stricken with a cerebralhemorrhage, from which he never recovered, passing away Feb. 21, 1936. Although he lived in this area a number ofyears, he always had a warm spot in hisheart for New England, his friends andassociates, and as you said in your letter,he had an outstanding personality whichI assure you, he retained until the end."

THE CORNELL GROUP of this area very graciously invited Dartmouth alumni to attend their annual meeting recently and listen to their new president, Edmund Ezra Day, .... incidentally, upper New York state is filled with Cornellians, and they are very friendly toward men from the Hanover Plain .... there were some 400 present at this dinner, and Edmund Ezra to some, "Rufus" to others, did an excellent job .... rarely have we seen a man in any sort of public life who was as enthusiastic over his job as our former Eccy teacher .... many Tenners had Edmund in Eccy when he was a member of the "Kid Faculty," and this being the first real opportunity of getting a close-up of him since we used to sit in his Dartmouth Hall classes, we can pass along to you brethren our impression that though he has advanced far and high since those days, he still possesses some of those sound, basic qualities which impressed us a few decades ago .... with an institution that has numerous collegiate divisions and over 40,000 alumni he has a challenging job, but we'll predict that he is going to be very successful. . ... It was our pleasure to sit at the dinner with Burt Miller; we had a great visit, even though some of the surrounding Cornellians volunteered the opinion that Burt had not been out of college more than five years .... that is what an abundance of jet black hair on the dome with a dinky little mustache on the upper lip does for a guy who was born March 28, 1887.

JIM MCPHERSON'S SON ENGAGED

JESS WH.SON has a nice position as assistant secretary in charge of claims at the home office of the Lumber Mutual Fire Insurance Company at Boston Jess lives in Winchester, is on the town Committee on Economy in Government, summers at Kittery Point, Maine, enjoying with his family their 39-foot cabin cruiser, sailing and fishing along the coast The engagement of Bob MacPherson to Deborah Nealley of Bangor has been announced Bob is with the MacPherson-owned Bangor Daily Commercial. . . . . Charlie Bardwell and family have moved to Milford, N. H., where he has started a wood finishing business, known as the Souhegan Manufacturing Company Bard is delighted to be in New England again Johnny Hobbs has purchased a new home on Belmont Hill, a swanky residential region overlooking a large part of Cambridge and Metropolitan Boston. .... Art Bucknam, principal of Waterbury's Walsh School, says that Rollie Reynolds gave a masterful address at the Conn. State Teachers Association not long ago . . . . this batch of items for the March issue is being prepared some two weeks early, as tomorrow morning, Jan. 27, Marion and I drive to Saratoga, pick up Katherine as she emerges from her last exam at Skidmore, use her as a chauffeur to transport us to Canaan in time to participate in Dad Hutchinson's (Marion's father) 80th birthday celebration Dad is one of those conservative, erect old Yanks, standing 6-1, born and lived all of his life in that one town, a rabid Democrat, whose father was equally zealous in the same party, and whose son is present Dem. postmaster of Canaan, and whose other son-in-law is the local judge and Repub. newspaper publisher of the town, following, too, in his father's footsteps . . . . we always have a grand time over there with the family Marion and I expect to remain in that vicinity two or three weeks, during which we will make a trip to Boston and frequent visits in Hanover.
