Class of 1918

Let's start the ball rolling with some address changes. Paul Gerrish is now at 350 Commercial St., Portland, Me. Last time we had word, he was on the Pacific Coast, but now that the lad is in Maine we're counting on Sew Strout and Park Poole to round him up for reunion Chauncey Hood may now be reached at 29 Park St., Beverly, Mass. And Bill Shellman is with R. W. Hosmer Cos., 175 W. Jackson Blvd., Chicago. Harold D'Ancona has a new Chicago address: Marcus Ruben, Inc., 625 S. State St.

Eddie Butts has quit Flatbush and may be contacted at 152 East 94th St., New York. Paul Bloom, Akron, Ohio, postcards plaintively: "Call up Cap (John L.) Hanley in Jersey City and tell him to sell thegas station and come to the reunion." At that, somebody ought to journey out to the wilds of Jersey and line Cap up. He's been absent altogether too long. Simeon Gordon of Brookline says he and the madam will be at the Twentieth.

J. E. Rosnell has been temporarily working in New York and has been staying at the Dartmouth Club. He reports a number of informal class reunions with Jasper Johnston, Tom Groves, and Mac McElwain. Cort Horr reports from Syracuse that he expects to be in Hanover for reunion this June. And C. E. Tower, Niagara Falls, says likewise. The list is growing. Better get on the band-wagon.

The sympathy of the class is extended Clint Carvell, whose father died in Boston during the winter Alford Gustafson is now manager of the new Louisville, Ky., agency of the Ohio State Life Insurance Company. In addition, Gus is a member of the Shrine, the Lions, and the Louisville Life Underwriters Association. From the company bulletin we learn that "hischief hobbies are his family, reading, golf,and fishing." And we do know that he'll be back for the 20th.

Washington alumni, and especially Eighteeners, have a live wire in their midst now, in the person of Richard P. White. Dick writes Ernie Earley in part as follows: "On January first my resignationfrom the Department of Plant Pathologyas associate professor of plant pathologyat Rutgers University, and as researchspecialist, diseases of ornamentals, in theNew Jersey Agricultural Experiment Sta-tion becomes effective. Starting Januaryfirst I will be the executive secretary of theAmerican Association of Nurserymen,headquartered at Washington, D. C., withoffices in the Southern Building, 1425 li-st., N. W., and with our neio home at 536728th St., N. W. I am giving up research andscientific studies for a full-time executiveposition ivhich appeals to me tremendously. Needless to say, any Eighteenerwho is in Washington will be more thanwelcome at either of the above addresses.'

Ed O'Connor writes from Holyoke to count on him for the "Farewell to Youth' festivities in June Treasurer Earley tells us: "Any of the boys who want to gettheir sons in at Lawrenceville ought to beable to do so without trouble, since ourown Jay LeFevre is now on the AlumniCouncil of that school. In persuading boysto go to Dartmouth, he has promised notto lead any of the boys astray in suggestingthat they go Alpha Delt."

How many of you have heeded Bob Fish's plea for photos etc. to help pep up reunion publicity? How about digging out the old mem book and lending Bob some good material? You can send it to him care of the Lightoilier Cos., 11 East 36th St., New York Reading back over some of these notes, we see that Dick White has specialized in "diseases of ornamentals" and is now in Washington. Hope he cures some of those ornamentals in Washington! Or shouldn't we inject a political note?

Donald M. Macaulay of Springfield, Mass., is now the grand standard-bearer of the Masonic Grand Lodge of Massachusetts. And Howard Cann, coach of basketball at N. Y. U., is one of those coaches who are opposed to elimination of the center jump in basketball. "It's stillearly in the season, but already two of mymen are five pounds underweight. Itsimply is too strenuous for the players," he is quoted by the Associated Press. Come on up to Hanover in June and lose some weight yourself, Howard!

F. Dusossoit Duke was a visitor to Atlanta during January. The entire South is now under Duke's wing for Life magazine, but Duke still maintains his headquarters in Gotham At reunion in June, whom would you like to see back especially? Who are the boys you used to take trips to Leb or Claremont with—and haven't seen for years? Why not constitute yourself a committee of one to write those boys and urge them to be on hand? Reunion Chairman Bob Fish will appreciate all such assistance. If you haven't retained your copy of the Eighteen Address Book, put out in 1935, write the Secretary in Atlanta for information, or address the Alumni Records Office in Hanover.

The Dartmouth Secretaries Bulletin, issued from Hanover, declares: "The classof 1918 has startled and greatly pleased itsmembers with a smart folder of promotionfor the 20th reunion in June. The folderis editorially and typographically modeledon the magaziyie Time. Its title is 'lB UP'.An energetic committee is hard at work onplans for 1918's reunion, which promisesto equal or exceed the record-breaking reunion of its college confrere, the class of'l7, last June." .... From "Squeaks from the Golden Gate" we learn that George Stoddard and the missus have sailed for Europe. Just a little tour for a few months in the interest of De Laval.

Some more addresses, by the way. Gene Markey is now at 9958 Durant, in Beverly Hills, Calif. Ray Smith's habitat is 1815 Second National Bank, Houston, Texas. . ... At our Fifteenth Reunion (right in the midst of the depression—remember?) we had sixty-two of the boys back. And so far, with Bob Fish still to get in his biggest licks, over a hundred of the lads are on record as coming back to the 20th. Does this look like a reunion what will be a reunion? I ask you!

Every once in so often, somebody inquires: "How many men are on the 1918rosterV' Counting those classmates who have passed on, and including non-grads, too—for they are 100% Eighteeners, just the same—the total is 453 Your Secretary has to pull out of town unexpectedly on a business trip—and looked-for letters from Bob Fish (re reunion plans), from Ernie Earley (re inevitable dues), and from Frank Clahane (re class fund) have not yet come in. Last word we had from Bob was something to this effect: "Wehave managed to get a reservation downon the Thayer Hall new upper-class diningroom; we have tentative reservations onthe Trophy Room for a dance; Rolf Syvertsen is plugging hard to get all particularson a 'Hanover Holiday'—you know, thepost-reunion party."

And if Ernie's customary postage-due letter were here it doubtless would inform us that more men are paid up on their class dues than ever before in the history of the class, but that if you yourself have a guilty conscience, his address is 16 Court St., Brooklyn. And if Frank Clahane's letter had arrived under the wire, we are sure it would have related how Eighteen has been doing better and better during recent years on Alumni Fund participation, and how the College is counting on us to set a new record this spring—during our reunion year.

Next issue we expect to have a report from Mrs. Dick (Edith) Cooley, who is heading up the ladies' reunion committee. Our private operative in Boston reports that Edith is cooking up some ideas that will find ready favor with the girls, and from letters received from many of the brethren, there is no doubt but that there will be more of the wives back for the aoth than for any previous reunion.

There ought to be another issue of "18 UP" pretty soon, or we don't know our Bob Fish. By the way, if any of you didn't receive copies of that first reunion blast, Bob probably has an extra copy if you write him. And speaking of writing, if you'll drop a line to your Secretary in Atlanta, dishing out a wee bit of dirt, we'll have a better column in the next issue.
