Class of 1921
They say that given time, all things average up. Guess that's true of the column, as this month's slump in '21 news will certainly lower the batting average of Ye Sec., who was well under way for a record in amount of space used, if not in quality of content. This month's dearth is largely due to spring fever, which again can be charged to the first snowless carnival in 28 years.
Jack Hubbell helps out with an account of himself. Under date of Feb. 15, he writes:
"Recently, I have been on the jump. Ileft New York on the first day of Januaryand spent the first two weeks in Chicagoat the Mid-Winter Furniture Market.While I was there we had a class dinner. Itwas a most successful affair.
"I was joined in Chicago by Ruth (mywife), and the two of us went to Los Angeles and from there to San Francisco. Alltold, toe spent a couple of weeks on theCoast. I just got back to New York a fewdays ago. I saw Red Kerlin at a Dartmouthluncheon in San Francisco and Tom Staleyand A. C. Gilbert in Kansas City. I alsohad a delightful dinner and evening withTom and his very attractive wife.
"The first week in December I wentdown to Bermuda for two weeks as theofficial escort for the Simmons All-American Sales Team. This turned out to be avery enjoyable party. It was my secondvisit to Bermuda in the last several months,because Ruth and I went down there thissummer for our vacation."
Seth Densmore, Burlington accountant, made the news last month when a Bostonbound plane of the Boston & Maine service failed to get off the skidway at the Concord, N. H., airport. Reports have the plane crashing into a deep ice bath at the edge of the runway, with no passengers hurt. Trip was concluded by train.

Jack Hubbell writes that he expects to live henceforth in Rye, N. Y., but does not give the address.
A son, John Adam, was born Sunday, March 5, to Chuck and Mrs. Moreau of Bloomfield and Spring Lake, N. J., according to the New York Times. The child is named after his maternal grandfather, John Adam Kreag, late of Rochester, N. Y.
The progam of the annual convention of the Ohio Society of Professional Engineers, held in Columbus, February 9-10-11, shows that Henry F. Palmer gave an address on "The Manufacture of Reclaimed Rubber." Henry, after teaching a year at Dartmouth following graduation, became a chemist with Firestone, and since 1926 has acquired the title of doctor and chief chemist for the Xylos Rubber Company of Akron, a Firestone auxiliary.
Herrick Brom writes the following:
"Dropped in at the new Dartmouth Club the opening day and found Jack Hubbell, Mac Johnson, Sumner Perkins, and Ernie Wilcox at the opening festivities. I was only able to stay a short time, so I have no doubt that a lot of Twenty-oners were present before the evening was over. Incidentally the new club is a honey, a great improvement over the old headquarters, and a fine center for Dartmouth men in New York. Ort Hicks is heading one of the teams in the present drive for new members for the club, and Bill Terry, Coot Carder, and I are privates in the drive army. Ort incidentally has again shown his prowess at bridge, being a member of the Dartmouth Club team which won the championship this winter in the New York college club bridge league, in which the Yale, Harvard, Princeton, Penn, Cornell, and Williams clubs are also members.
"Bord Helmer still slides down snowy hillsides on the old wooden runners, and he took time out recently from his investment counseling with Clarke, Sinsabaugh, & Cos. to go on a skiing expedition with his wife up in the Laurentian hills."
