Class of 1917

Bob and Anita Scott got out of the ice and snow January 28 and a postcard from Pass-A-Grille, Fla., reported that Shorty's golf game was in for a little polishing, our Yale game hostess having given him a trouncing promptly on arrival. The Scott children were expected to join them in a few days.

Before leaving New Haven, Bob forwarded the motion picture film of the Tremendous Twentieth Reunion, and you men, gathering in class dinners this winter and spring, are in for a real treat when you see this show. It portrays many of the main reunion activities, scenes of the campus, ski jump and golf links, life around Hitchcock headquarters, the 1917 tent, and the picnic at Bonnie Oaks. It is full of fine shots of the class marching, men and women visiting in groups, and individual close-ups which will bring you many a laugh. Anyone may borrow the film for "one day" for the round trip transportation costs. It is about 500 feet, 16 mm.

The real estate and insurance firm of Mansfield and Swett, Maplewood, N. J., turned out an attractive little green leather memorandum book bearing the Dartmouth seal, at Christmas time. Thanks, Gill, from the recipients.

The Knickerbocker Employment Agency of 116 Nassau St., New York, has distributed an attractive folder illustrating the help Dick Marschat is giving employables, under a unique group publicity plan.

Albert D. Osborn, who departed from Hanover with Paul in Dartmouth's first unit of the American Field Service—you remember also his expert identification of the Hauptmann handwriting—sent this message to the class in January:

"I presume it is seldom that a memberof one class reads the notes of another, butthere are exceptions to every rule, and Imust be one, as I read your notes and havefor many years.

"I know that you were a good friend ofmy brother Paul (your kindly call here isnot forgotten), and lam sure that therenever was a more enthusiastic member ofthe College. I like to run through yournotes and see names that were often on hislips. In this month's notes there were anumber of names, and those of Gile,Whiton, Thielscher, Sisson, Koeniger,Worthington, Rubel, Young, your own,and others reminded me of him.

"The length of the notes of the class inthis month's ALUMNI MAGAZINE would indicate much interest in class affairs, andI certainly hope that the members continue to distinguish themselves in theirmany fields."

Mott Brown says that Newt Smith is the manager and genial host of Hotel Vendome, Boston, which has taken on new life and color under Newt's guidance.

Scanning the society columns of the January 14th Buffalo Currier-Express, we came upon a picture of Mrs. Karl L. Thielscher out strolling, safely flanked by two trim, sturdy little half backs, Karl L. Jr. and David, debonair images of their stalwart papa, last seen marshaling the reunion Dawn Patrol.

Will you men who were closest to Dick Murphy in college please go through your old photos and see if you have any snapshots of Dick? Mrs. R. D. Murphy, 75 Southbourne Road, Jamaica Plain, Mass., would like to have them.

Again we are bowled over by bad news. Don Brooks met some people from Muncie who said that Hugo August Friedrichs passed, away last fall. We are trying to get the facts for the Necrology section in next month's issue. Hugo was signed up for reunion, then wrote that ill health prevented attendance, and we had heard nothing since. "Freddy" used to attend class dinners with the New York gang before he moved to Indiana, and was great company.

And our great sympathy goes to Sunny and Ethel Sanborn. Thomas Chase Sanborn, ill since his birth right after our reunion, died of pneumonia January twenty- ninth.

Don O'Leary is back in New York again and has been seen at the old Dartmouth Club. The new club at go East 37th St. will be open by the time these notes are published, and the Monday class luncheons will be resumed with new interest.

Sandy Lynch was seen recently in Pittsburgh. He is quite active socially, rides a lot, spends a lot of time on skis, and has a big medical practice.

A card from Jess Hawley 'was postmarked Miami, so our Connecticut fruitpicker has apparently transferred to the Florida field as he predicted at the Yale game, and we hope the picking is especially good at Miami.

Bob Chase has been elected vice president of the Alumni Association of Western Middlesex County, Mass., which will make it just so much easier to round up Seven- teeners all around him. Duffy Karnan of Emaus, Pa., was elected recently to the executive committee, Dartmouth Alumni Association of Eastern Pennsylvania, as a representative of the Allentown-Bethlehem delegation.

Freddy Leighton is now an importer and dealer in Mexican and American Indian arts and crafts, in New York City.

Alden Vaughan is now teaching Latin at Brown University.
