Class of 1911
The appeal for the Barnhardt picture brought one from Burt Cooper, which has gone on to the son, Jim. Jim's brother, Paul, is hoping to enter Dartmouth next year if he can find some way to finance himself through college.
A couple of news items came in on Clutie. First, on March 14, he operated on Barbara Cooper for appendicitis. The next week he spoke before the forty physicians and nurses of the Exeter, N. H., Hospital, where he was reported to have presented a clear discussion of appendicitis, explaining the symptoms and progress of the two different types.
Burt Cooper wrote that he had just seen "Spim" Norris and Bill Henderson where both happened to stop at a restaurant in Hampton for lunch. Dick Cooper is at Harvard Law School, and Barbara at Boston University.
ALUMNI COUNCILOR ON MOVE
It would seem as though President "Cap" Hedges was quite some tripper. The last word from him states that he has been in the South two weeks with Harold Trewin 1912 on business. He reported that it was as hot as July, and he couldn't get used to it.
The Ed Chamberlains have moved to Manchester, N. H., where Ed, a few months ago, was made district manager of the Burroughs Adding Machine Company for New Hampshire. Their new home is located at 575 North River Road.
Apparently Clarence Holden is more or less permanently detained from returning to Shanghai, for we have received his address as with Muller & Phipps (Hawaii), Ltd., P. O. Box 1681, Honolulu, Hawaii.
Red Loudon was kind enough to send word that Bob Saxton is just recovering from a serious operation at the Veterans' Hospital in Fort Snelling. Bob has a new business address, which is United States Fidelity & Guarantee Company Building, Minneapolis, Minn.
Well, anyhow, there was a little response to the last alumni notes; for instance, the following interesting letter came in from Bryant Turner, and the Secretary will admit his pleasure at the latest news concerning him.
"Just to show you how carefully I always read the 1911 news in the DARTMOUTH ALUMNI MAGAZINE, I noticed in the March number, which I received today, a small item which seemed to convey the idea that I am among the missing. Such is not the case.
"You seem to have my address correct, and I am still contact representative with the Veterans' Administration, stationed now at the government hospital here in Tucson. On the last day of August, 1936, the Phoenix regional office of the Veterans' Administration was consolidated with the hospital here and only three employees left in Phoenix in what is known as a Medical Treatment Station. I was one of the three remaining in Phoenix and stayed there until November 1, 1937, when I was ordered to report for duty as contact representative at the hospital here, and here I am. That is about all there is to it.
"Being away out here in Arizona, I have been completely out of touch with all of my former classmates except for the desultory correspondence between you and me. Of course nothing would please me more than to be able to attend a class reunion and bring with me my wife and two daughters, but really I would rather live in Arizona than in New England. I married a girl from Louisiana who has never visited New England, and my two daughters were born and raised in Arizona, so they all have a treat in store for them if we can ever arrange a trip to New England and a visit to Dartmouth and Phillips Exeter Academy. Perhaps some day when the press of government business is not so great and contact representatives are not worked so hard, and the depression is a thing of the past, we can make a trip East, who knows?
"I just wanted you to know that you are a pretty good detective to find my address so soon after I came here, and, now that it has been confirmed, please continue sending me the ALUMNI MAGAZINE."
THE HONORABLE RICHARD
It may soon be Senator Paul! At least, the latest political dope from Massachusetts is that Dick will probably be elected state senator from his district in Massachusetts.
It has been ascertained that the newborn Patten child's name is Warren Patten Jr. So that his dad will not forget the date of the birth, it is hereby recorded as October 10, 1937.
The following explanation explains itself. It just goes to prove how easily a secretary may go wrong. "Have just been reading the class news for the month and am inspired to write one of those 'you made a mistake' letters that used to be part of my editorial diet. The unadorned verity of the situation is that I have not moved again yet. 131 Edgewood Ave. is the legal address of Addison Hall, as well as five other exactly similar 'Halls.' It must have been in a fit of aberration that I listed the street number so that it got into the records, because few people who live at the address know the number, and it takes the postman half a day to deliver a letter addressed that way. Ergo, 131 Edgewood Ave. is the address reserved for bill collectors.
"At dinner tonight we deduced that the next Card move will probably be to Hollywood. Thusly: the year after the flood in Northern Vermont we motored there for our vacation; the year after the great flood in the Guadalupe River in Texas, we were down there for the winter; during the only flood of the Merrimac in recorded history we were within thirty miles of it; the year after the great flood in Pittsburgh we came down here to live; the Cards follow the floods; California has just had a flood. Q. E. D. I must drop in on Keough this,' week and see what part they are going to offer me in the next Paramount production HAROLD CARD.
Jack Coggins is already getting all haired up about the Yale game next Commencement. Here's his latest effusion. "Normalcy must be at hand. I took in the St. Patrick's Day parade. The Committee thought that " they detected a Vermont accent in me and put me at the end of the line. About four o'clock I got weary and worried about my left instep .... and thought I would be as well off, if I omitted the three-mile march; so over to the Eastside I go and sit in on a showing of Mae West in 'Every Day is a Holiday.' After the second time around, I was ready for the Leitrim Men's Ball in Central Opera House at 67th St and Second Ave the first time in
twenty-one years. Awe-it was foin. Dancing on two floors .... all kinds. And the colleens, they were grand too; but the ones that were going to school in their bare feet when I was in the Drumshanbo, junior year, are all grandmothers now and have sons on the police force.
"Bring on that Commencement; bring on the Yale game."
Recent issues of the "Squeaks from the Golden Gate" and "Dartmouth-in-Dixie Doings," two well edited association bulletins, contain news of 1911ers. The first is that Ray Taylor is now vice president of the California Association and that he has been arranging a Dartmouth party for the San Franciscoans. Apparently this entertaining of the Dartmouth Association in the Golden Gate is one of Ray Taylor's long suits, for every once in a while this is the sort of news that we get of Ray.
"Stony" McGlynn has been advanced in the Goodyear Service, Inc., and has been made a district manager in Los Angeles.
In the sunny southland Don Cheney appears to be the Dartmouth party arranger, as he is credited with arranging a swell party with the Dartmouth alumni of Dixieland, on Dartmouth Night.
"Gov" Jordan finally crashed through, and here is the lowdown. "In brief thestory is this. We are back in Concord anillove it. Betty, Pat Ann, and I. RubertaMary at Beaver College for her second yearI am with the Benefit Section of the Unemployment Compensation Division of theDepartment of Labor. Am heading up tinaccounting department and doing our bestto get these checks out on time to the people out of work. It's been a mighty, interestingjob, mainly because we have all hadto feel our way and try all new stunts, ®there was absolutely nothing in the past anywhere to help us. The whole organizationhas a reason to feel proud of whatthey have done when I read of the troublesin almost every other state. Thegang has worked days, nights, and Sundaysbut has been glad to do it."
Secretary, Hanover, N. H.
