Class of 1913
Bill Terry, general executive assistant of Julius Kayser & Cos., Fifth Ave., New York, broke down and wrote:
"I am of course expecting to be in Hanover and to bring the family with me, five of us in all, Bill Jr., now a junior in high school and a letter track man, Betty a freshman in high school, and the baby, Stephen, age 11, who is cut out for a foot baller.
"We are all looking forward to Commencement and the big reunion, and when the information blanks arrive will send on all the required 'dope.'
"It has been a busy year for me, as, if business was not enough, I have kept up my end in local politics and succeeded in getting elected to the town council (Hillsdale, N. J.) for the third time. Now holding down the job of police commissioner.
"During the banking crisis of 1933 a group of us fell heir to the local national bank, and I emerged as vice president with another load on my shoulders. Taking everything together, I have kept fairly busy, and now look forward with real pleasure to hitting it off with the old gang in June."
Joe Cheney, probation officer of the United States District Court, Tampa, Fla., and his "secretary-wife" Hazel plan on Hanover in June. Joe sent his "5th AnnualReport of the Probation Officer," a most interesting piece of work. He writes:
"I really am sorry that I have been so negligent in my correspondence with you, but I assure you that it was merely the rush of business which prevented me and not the fact that I do not often think of you and the other members of the grand old class of 'l3. As a matter of fact, I think of you all very frequently and especially nowadays when one sees so many skiing pictures, my mind is constantly being turned back to the glorious times we had at Hanover. I might add, also, that for the last three years the fact that my own son has been a student at the University of Florida has brought back to me many thoughts of college days.
"It was indeed good to see you again in Boston, and I was only sorry that I could not stay longer and see several of the boys there and also in New York. I did have a grand time at the Legion convention, but I have been, looking forward now for a long time to the reunion next June, and now that it is really getting near at hand I am beginning to get pepped up on it considerably. I don't know just how I am going to make it, but somehow or other I expect to do it, and you might as well make the reservation for me right away."
Don Gilchrist is at Rush Rhees Library, the University of Rochester, and his statement is:
"Yes, you will see me in June in Hanover. We are already making plans, andthe whole family is looking forward to theholiday, and especially young David, whoentered high school this fall and has hopeshe will be able to do well enough so thathe can get into the old place. We will bethere in force, and if there's anything wecan do to help in advance, let us know."
On February i, 1938, at the New Hampshire Fire Insurance Cos. annual meeting three assistant secretaries were advanced to the position of secretaries. Harold C. McAllister was one of the three. He dropped in at the office this week to say that Donald and Alan would also attend the reunion with Harold Jr.
The new Dartmouth Club opened at 30 East 37th St. Collin Wells says it is tops. Bill Towler was 1913's representative on the Bond Committee, and we are very glad to report that at least seven of the class are bloated bond-holders. Several visitors to New York at the time of the opening have reported that every Dartmouth man who goes to New York frequently or even only semi-occasionally should become a nonresident member.
1913 UP
A costume coat has been chosen, and measurements blanks will be mailed immediately. The reunion tax will cover cost of this coat, but if coats are desired for wives and children the measurements can be sent at the same time and an extra charge will be made for each additional one. This coat will be serviceable after the reunion for indoor or outdoor wear.
David E. Adams has graciously sented to conduct the Memorial Service on Sunday morning in the chapel, and Moses Ewing will arrange the music. This service, left in their hands, will be one of the most impressive parts of the entire reunion.
Add these to the long list printed last month: Howard Ball and Alta, Nancy, and Dana Joe Cheney and Hazel Es Crowley and Edna and Esmond Jr. Don Gilchrist and Ella and David Donald and Alan McAllister Bill Terry and Sarah, Bill Jr., Betty, and Stephen
