Class of 1912

Your Secretary starts his morning dictation with a letter to some member of the class of 191 A, hoping thereby to renew the personal associations that have lapsed, and to glean some notes of interest to the class for this column.

There are 89 subscribers to the ALUMNI MAGAZINE from the class of 1912, which was just 13 short of the number guaranteed by the class.

Billy Baxter's daughter Mary Jane, was born August 18, 1934.

The attractive booklet published by the Dartmouth Association of Northern California in January, 1938, contains the names of four 1912 men. Bill Butler is manager of the San Jose Hospital, San Jose, and lives at 760 East San Carlos St., in the same town. Vance Campbell is a jeweler with Johnson 8c Wood at 150 Post St., and lives at 781 20th Ave., San Francisco. Roy Frothingham is engaged in sales promotion and research at 111 Sutter St., San Francisco, and lives at Los Altos. We are sorry to hear of the death of Roy's father on December 7, 1937, a loyal friend to Dartmouth men, and the life of many a Dartmouth party. Eugene McLaughlin has an address at Box 673, San Carlos, Calif., but we have no further specifications regarding his activities. These four men are all members of the Dartmouth Association of Northern California.

Ray Cabot is getting together the last of the class letters and replies to questionnaires for the Class Book, which will be sent to the printer shortly. By the way, some of you may not know that Ray and Eleanor, in June, 1928, adopted a small boy, Roger Washburn Cabot, born November 82, 1927. He has now just passed his tenth birthday, and is attending the the public schools of Newton. Ray is having a lot of fun with him.

Lieut Colburn is city treasurer of the city of Rutland, Vt., and is living at 176 Grove St., when he is not installed in the City Hall. He was elected to this position in March, 1936, and is just finishing his second term, with another election on the horizon. Lieut was for 20 years with F. R. Patch Mfg. Cos., but the concern was washed up in the depression, and Lieut went into the garage business for three years, after which he became purchasing agent for the city of Rutland. Lieut's daughter Charlotte was 23 years old on Armistice Day. She graduated A.B. from Middlebury College last June, and is now teaching Latin, French, and English in the Whitcomb High School in Bethel, Vt.

Quech French, in his capacity as envoy extraordinary, engaged in the dissemination of "Dow's Crunchy Dog Food" for John C. Dow Company, Inc., at 200 Broadway, Cambridge, Mass., saw Bob Fletcher the other day in Concord, N. H., and says that he is the same old Bob—in- suring everybody. Quech says, "What do you feed your dog and why?"

Windy Gale writes from Wilson, N. Y., where he is selling veneers, plywood, lumber, etc., with the B. L. Gale Sales Cos. Your Secretary asked him if he wasn't president of the company, and he writes that not being incorporated, he has no title, but just goes on selling to anybody who wants to buy. He says that cherries were nearly a failure this year, or rather in 19S7>—th31 he only had 7 tons where he should have had 30. They still make good pies, however. Windy's family consists of Barbara, age 151/2, Catherine, age 141/2' A. H. Jr., nearly 12, Judith, nearly 9, Ruth, and himself (no age given); health all good. Windy's mother and father, whose hospitality your Secretary has experienced, are very well, and extremely lively for young folks. Mr. Gale celebrated his 79th birthday on January 25, and they jointly celebrated their golden wedding on December 27 last.

Grandfathers of the class welcome to their numbers Bill Harlow, who is celebrating the birth of a 714 pound boy to his daughter, Jane Elizabeth Petitmermet. The note comes from George Harlow, the great-grandfather, Dartmouth '7B.
