Glass of 1903
The last notes for the ALUMNI MAGAZINE for the year are being recorded and plans for the reunion are definitely made. Applications for rooms have been sent out by the College, and an early reply will ensure our being roomed all together in a dormitory suitable to our antiquity and numbers. The prospects for a good attendance are bright. With not too extensive a program we can bank on every minute for reuning—a three-day affair which will last in your memories for the remainder of your lives. Plan to appear m Hanover Friday afternoon and get the thrill of greeting classmates as they come m. The picnic on Sunday will send you back into the dreary world with many years dropped off your shoulders and a long list of true friends whom, perhaps, you have not contacted in many years. 'O3 Up: 'O3 Up; 'O3 Up.
A long-at-last letter from Winfield Rice of the High School Division of the Board of Education of the City of New York tells of his interesting work in civics and civic activities. Win doubts his attendance at reunion, though he would like nothing better. He sends kindest regards to all members of the class. The interference of school schedules has kept Win away from reunions for many a year, much to our regret.
Following the letter came a copy of "Civics Afloat" from the office of the superintendent of schools of the city of New York consisting of a report on an experiment recently conducted in the use of ferryboats for the study of civics. The main substance of the report is from the pen of Win Rice, acting civics director and correlated civic activities, and that this Potholesker deserves the highest commendation for the successful working of the experiment is perfectly obvious.
The objectives of the experiment can best be stated by quoting from the report: "As viewed from the standpoint of thecivics department, these trips afforded asplendid opportunity to the children foracquiring information and understandingof many phases of the economics and industrial activities of New York harbor andthe East River; an appreciation of the difficult problems, governmental, economic,and social, which the city of New Yorkmust attack and solve; an appreciative andcooperative attitude toward the many services provided by the community; someknowledge of the techniques of navigation in the congested waterways of theUpper Bay and the East River; the inculcation of international-mindedness;and appreciation of New York City'sbeauty and its skyline." To one interested in the study and teaching of civics this report is well worth reading.
"Brutus" Luce dropped in the other day and assured me that he and his wife were going to arrive in Hanover on Friday, June 17 for a three days' stay, and that he challenges anyone to a game of golf or a bout in the tap room, he's feeling so well. That taboy, "Brutus," we'll all be there.
"Bolz" French and Harold Hess are hard at work on their campaign for the Alumni Fund. Make the work easier for them by an early contribution, and don't forget that the smallest contribution helps to swell the class percentage of contributors.
Bolz, Kid, and Buck tested the hospitality of the new Dartmouth Club of New York early in April, and started off on the right foot with Hoppy and a few others from Hanover in attendance. Leave it to that trio to do the right thing well.
Doc Linnell has recently been preparing for reunion. He reports a mighty uncomfortable experience in a New York hospital, but the operation was successful. Talk about the reducing processes of the ladies, Doc dropped from a dandy guard's weight to that of Warren King in no time at all. Returning home he found that his clothes wouldn't fit, so he packed a few sofa pillows under his belt and now dares to perambulate out of doors. Here's hoping Doc will have to buy something more than a boy's ticket for his ride to Hanover in June. We're pulling for you, Doc, and hope to recognize you as you enter the swinging portals.
The D D D—Dartmouth-in-Dixie-Doings conveys the news that Dan Hinckley, who formerly conducted his own advertising agency in Nashville, Tenn., has joined the Greene Advertising Agency in Atlanta. Here's congratulations to the Dartmouth contingent in Atlanta and best wishes for success to Dan. They may make a real Southerner out of Dan yet, but we'd like to hear the Southern drawl before being convinced. Come up to reunion, Dan, and show us how it is done.
To Andy Jackson and Harold King in Washington, to Woolly in Alabam, to Eddie Schlatter in Madison, to Frank Wentworth, Herb Follett, Willard Hartshorn, Williams, Lyman, Worthen, Bradley, Mansur, and Cresswell on the Pacific slopes, to Queech Safford in Houston, Comstock in Wyoming, George Hoke in Minneapolis, Brat Wentworth in St. Louis, Sherm Smith in Edmonton, yes, and Mike O'Malley in Manila and Bob Davis in France, we extend our felicitations and plead for their attendance at this reunion. If any others feel slighted, let them come up to Hanover June 17 and settle the score with me.
And so end the labors for the MAGAZINE. A never-to-be-forgotten reunion and a fine summer season for you all.
Secretary, 198 Humphrey St., Marblehead, Mass.
