Class of 1916

If you Balmacaaners are not subscribers to Time, at least get a copy of the January 31, 1938, issue. The picture of Ros Magill with Phi Beta Kappa key, Under-Secretary of the Treasury, graces the cover page. The editors of Time in their newsworthy form of factual reporting pay Ros a real tribute. They write, "But it so happensthat the man in Washington who knowsmore about the theory of federal taxationthan anyone in Washington is Under-Secretary of the Treasury Roswell FosterMagill Once when he appeared before a committee the Congressmen wereso impressed by his learning that theyasked him whether they should not addresshim as 'Doctor.' Said the Under-Secretarysmiling: 'Mister Magill, please.' Congressmen like and trust him." Ros is the same old boy, feet on the ground, able, efficient, and humble. We're proud of you, Ros.

In the same issue of Time, I note the presence of our Lincoln Filene, a member of Secretary Roper's Business Advisory Council, at the White House.

Rog Evans had a half hour with Ed Riley before he sailed on a four-and-one- half-month trip to Italy, Egypt, India, Singapore, Java, China, and Japan. Ed secured tickets for Rog and Edna to hear and see Toscanini lead the N. B. C. symphony orchestra.—Lucky dogs.

Balmacaan was well represented in the Battle of Washington last year, with Ros Magill, Leigh Rogers, and Rog at the front. All three lived at the Racquet Club. Rog ran into Phil Nordell at a Phila- delphia gathering a short time ago, and learned to his delight that Phil, who is living at 6425 Wayne Ave., is but five blocks from Rog's bailiwick. Rog declares that Bones Joy is still as handsome and prosperous as ever, but getting quite heavy. And to think that Bones, after being turned down at every recruiting station from Portland, Me., to Baltimore, had to eat a dozen bananas and drink a gallon of water, in order to get in the army. Rog had a few minutes with Professor Freddie Frederiksen, History Department, Miami University, when Freddie was on for the annual session of the American Historical Society.

I'm indebted to the secretary of Dartmouth-in-Dixie for this item on George B. Howell. George, president of the Exchange National Bank of Tampa, Fla., has just been elected president of the Florida Bankers Association. Abe Winslow, secretary of that live wire Dartmouth Association of Northern California at San Francisco sent me their new directory. Dr. Rodney E. Wyman Medico-Dental Building, Reno, Nev., is the only Sixteener listed.

Rev. Ray Chapman has retired from the Episcopal priesthood, with permanent disability, to the Holy Cross Monastery, West Park, N. Y. Bob Thieme has a new address at 2421/2 Lasky, Beverly Hills, Calif. Are you in the movies, Bob? E. Hugo Gumbart is selling steel for the Bethlehem Steel Company, Bethlehem, Pa. No chance for the New York Mohammedans to drop in on Jack McEndy. Mac has moved out to Halesite, Long Island, wherever that is.

The Boston Herald of February 4 carried a picture of Bob Dana in full regalia, as president of the Boston Wool Trade Association. Bob kept the 900 guests happy by cutting out all speech-making and giving them some real entertainment. Some president, I'd say.

Now for news of our New Hampshire brethren. It might interest you to know that Gene McQuesten's wife did such a swell job teaching Gene how- to play contract bridge, that he, together with Ralph George, Jim Coffin, and Jim Shanahan, qualified in the New Hampshire State Duplicate Contract Tournament. Lossie Parker, wife of our Ralph, decided to teach her husband to ski. Ralph is so good at skiing now that poor Lossie never sees her equipment. Bob Brown has been quite ill with a septic sore throat, but he was due to leave the hospital this week. Jim Coffin is the state bridge shark, closely followed by our Manchester accountant, Jim Shanahan. Ben Moxon is working hard daily except Saturday, when he drives his new car home to Dorchester. Ben's a bachelor. Don "Sweeney" Fuller is up and around and is feeling much better these days. Rus Leavitt, with the New Hampshire State Department of Education, father of six, is also a busy man. Rus tells me that the oldest daughter of Les, who is at the American University of Beirut, Syria, has been seriously ill with pneumonia. They had quite a fight to save her. I sincerely hope, Les, by the time you read this item, she is back again in perfect health. Larry, younger brother of Les and Rus, one of Dartmouth's football immortals of the go's, headmaster at Vermont Academy, tells me that Malcolm Ferguson, son of our Don, is just like his father, even to disliking boiled onions. You Balmacaaners who have sons who want further training before going to Hanover should look up Vermont Academy.

Holmes Green tells me Ray DeVoe heard his granddaughter cry, but he hasn't been discouraged a bit by it. Holmes hopes that Wall St. will send Ray down to Dallas frequently, for the latch string is always out for him. Grandfather Green is working too hard. He has been chairman of the committee to survey all relief agencies in Dallas County for the past 90 days. Holmes has been doing civic work of this sort for years. But when a chap becomes a grandfather, it's about time to allow someone else to do the hard work. N'est-ce pas, Grandpa?

Wouldn't you like to know what Judge Max Spelke was doing New Year's night, when he rushed out of Radio City, grabbed a cab, and gave an unknown address. Seeing night life from the bench, Max?

A belated letter from my Washington contingent, Betty and Stirling Wilson, Van and Selma Mott, tells me of their jaunt to the Columbia game, where they saw the Burlens, the Kileys, Prentice Winchell, Honey Abraham, Jack McEndy, Ben Eastman, and Pete Cleaves. Prentice Winchell gave a dinner party at his swanky hotel for visiting Balmacaaners. I can picture Stirling sitting at the head of the table in his old green sweater, vintage of 1914—3 la Charlie Dudley, with true Dartmouth spirits. Next year I hope to see that Washington gang here for the Harvard game.

The transplanted Yankee oil tycoon, Bailey Van Ness Emery, comes through with a letter from Tulsa. I must agree that the Oklahoma Dartmouth crowd are alive with thirteen undergraduates in Hanover. Bailey likewise tells me that Don Ferguson never ate onions, so I can excuse Malcolm. Like father, like son. Bailey writes me that he sees occasionally Bill Biel of the 1070 Park Ave., New York City, Biels. What are you doing in Oklahoma, Bill? I see that Arno Behnke still lives at Fort Worth, Texas. Do you and Ben Eastman ever get together? Last word I had of Bill Banton, he had become general agent in Maine for an insurance company. I'd give you and your company some free advertising if you would write me a note from Portland. Now Art Barak is in Detroit. If Art would write me, I could give you the low down on labor and business conditions in that area. Bob Bartlett, according to my records, lives at 3436 80th St., Jackson Heights, Long Island. Porter Blaney out in Seattle could send me first-hand news of conditions in that area, whicli I'd like to pass along, as well as a little news of himself and family. Has Professor Eugene Parker Chase, Lafayette College, Easton, Pa., lost his enthusiasm for Dartmouth, now that Lafayette is back in the running with a marvelous football team? Some of the goodly brethren in Beta Theta Pi are wondering what Bill Brett is doing in Shaker Heights, Ohio. Professor Earl Cranston is still professoring at the University of Redlands in California. I suppose Jack Curtin with General Electric in Schenectady is still waiting for the New Deal to lay off pounding the utilities so he can get some of those juicy contracts that are ready to drop. Whoever hears from or about Kike Davis, Goodrich, or is it Goodyear, representative at 24 Quai Jordaens, Antwerp, Belgium? At any rate Tin Arm Doyle is either the present mayor of Sea Girt, N. J., or the ex-mayor. I do know Jesse Fenno is still autogiroing around New England, towing big signs at the football games.

How is the big Brookings, South Dakota, banker, Horace Fishback, these days? Can you still sing second bass? Tony Garcia, the fellow who builds doll houses in his cellar and then can't bring them upstairs, is at 1452 Broadway, New York City. I'd mention the name of the cigars you manufacture with its consequent fine advertising, if you would write me, Tony. As I look toward the Jerseys, I note Don Hosmer is in East Orange. I wonder if Don jjas ever appeared before Judge Norman Brundage in Orange. Does Tom Bradford ever see Grandpa Green in Dallas? Does Glen Gould ever leave St. Petersburg, Fla., to call on George Howell in Tampa? Does Spence Sully out in Los Angeles ever see Dan Coakley, Dan Lindsley, or Shorty Hitchcock? Naturally Max Saben, administrative advisor at Monrovia, Liberia, West Africa, doesn't have the opportunity to visit with many Balmacaaners. Wouldn't you like to know how Ed Knight of Charleston, W. Va., Fred Richie, of Richmond, Va., Whit McCoy at the University of Alabama, and Ruby McFalls in Cleveland, Ohio, Dave Shumway, East Aurora, N. Y., are doing?

I've held up this month's notes in order to record the doings at the big Boston alumni dinner, February 9, but I collected so many news items from the eighteen Balmacaaners who were present that I'm just going to enunierate the names of those attending. Dr. Shorty Shaw came up from Providence, Bill Mott came in after a New York trip, Bill Banton from Portland, Me., Jack McAuliffe from Worcester, Herb Stiegler and Gus Emery from Lawrence, Bob Dana out with the gang for the first time in years, likewise Bob Sherer first time seen around in almost twenty years, Sam Cutler, Dick Parkhurst, Ted Walker, Frank Bobst, Alec Jardine, Lewis Gove, Dick Ellis, Dr. Parker Hayden, Gil Tapley, and Jack English. It was a real pleasure to see Bob Dana and Bob Sherer after so many years. We will never let them get away from us again.
