1910*
We're heading into another year that terminates with our Thirtieth.... it's something to look ahead to even though the profundities of life may be weighing heavily at this moment when the world is thrown into another cataclysm of death and destruction .... that Reunion next June is yours and it's something to look ahead to with a lot of pleasure for the next nine months.
REUNION COMMITTEE In line with the new Class Constitution that we now operate under, your Executive Committee met at Andy Scarlett's house in June and elected Art Allen, Else Jenness, Earle Pierce, Ed Shattuck and Andy to handle the Reunion, elect their own chairman and do a whale of a good job .... the meeting which later turned into an old-fashioned "Beef" included the following Visiting Firemen: B. Armstrong, J. Everett, Ralph Paine, Hiram Cushman, Prof. Scarlett, Walter Norton, Jim MacPherson, Chan Baxter, Micky Holmes, Doc Foster, and Cap Hedges who is coming back to reune with us next June.
Other Tenners seen around town during Commencement were Karl Marker attending the Alumni Council meeting; Fletch Burton; Charlie Fay, Slip Powers, Bones Jones, Dick Boerker, Cliff Lyon, Herb Wolff, Harold Washburn .... and Howard Smith was busy acting as Assistant Secretary and Chauffeur for the Class of 1870 which his dad serves so well.

Coar, a widely known educator, died in June.
EASTY MOVES TO MINNEAPOLIS . . . . One of the surprises of the summer has been the moving of the Whitney Eastmans from Milwaukee to Minneapolis, necessitated by transfer of the Archer Daniels-Midland Co.'s soy bean division to the Minnesota city which integrates all of the company's activities Easty has been very prominent in Milwaukee business and civic circles for so long that we have come to identify him as another product which has "made Milwaukee famous." . . . . He has been president of the Milwaukee Association of Commerce, Milwaukee County Boy Scout Council, the Rotary Club and the Isaak Walton League, and has served as Chairman of the Milwaukee University School Board We doubt if any Dartmouth alumnus has ever been more zealous in persuading sound local boys to go to Hanover for their educations than Easty has A whole flock of them have come through from Milwaukee, many of them being sons of nationally known fathers Then after graduation they go back to their home city and start their careers Again Easty has his finger in the pie If they don't start working for him, they start elsewhere through his influence To help them along, he gets them into civic and business organizations It is no closed secret that he has the Milwaukee Rotary Club so loaded with boys from Hanover that the Dartmouth influence will be strong for many years to come Even the man he left behind to run the Wisconsin plant is Cliff Randall, D '27 So as Easty moves onward and upward, the best wishes of 1910 go with him!
FOOTBALL.... Somehow we're not getting overloaded with pessimism or optimism over the coming football season . ... the tension was busted last Nov. when we beat the crowd and got out of Ithaca 10 mins. after the final whistle blew, to sound the death knell for too many consecutive victories, according to our way of thinking -the situation had built too much pressure in itself for coaches, players, newspapers, Hanover and the alumni.... no game is so vital in life as all of that had become.
The loss of 15 lettermen looms large .... but did you ever keep Freshman lineups and look for those names in the varsity squad a couple of years later? If not, try it some time it'll cure a lot of pessimism for after all we'd rather see any day of the week a good lineman developed by Harry Ellinger or a back by Andy Gustafson or an end by Ed Hirshberg than a readymade product from a secondary 5ch001.... when Earl Blaik and his staff pull one of them out of the bag, they've got a real prize as their record shows. We've argued that point with them, and it's harder, we'll concede, but a whole lot more satisfying in the game of life.
So we'll get licked this fall—but we'll win some games, t00.... it's a tough schedule for a green team from October 7 on .. . . and don't forget that 1910 rates some good seats this year because we reune next June .... also that the team is being managed by a 1910 lad, Jack Cowan, son of our own Pip.

ALUMNI MAGAZINE 1910 can always take a justifiable pride in its MAGAZINE record .... so can '02 and '11, our two associate pioneers of the Group Subscription Plan .... no one can laugh off the 51 classes that are signed up for this year with the possibility of some more joining up .... Princeton is the only other collegiate institution in America that can approach that record even though most all of them are trying to get the answer.... the success to date indicates clearly the soundness of the Group Subscription Plan for Dartmouth's really fine ALUMNI MAGAZINE.

KAY DYER .... a great compensation for a class secretary lies in receiving a letter from some long-silent classmate .... such things do occur. Our latest is a very nice letter from the old trackman, Kay Dyer, the Down East Yankee who still lives in Maine; Kay is an Engineer Inspector with P.W.A.; address, 317 Federal Building, Bangor.
