John and Jennie Hinman were in Hanover at the Lafayette game. They no longer live in Montreal, are back again in Pelham N. Y. and John continues his vice presidenting job for International Paper Company. Three sons have graduated at Dartmouth and a fourth, Hugh, is a Junior at Kimball Union Academy and playing on the football team there. New Hinman address is 678 Colonial Ave., Pelham, N. Y.
Other new addresses: Miles Gardner at 185 Bartlett St., Rochester, N. Y.; Chester Melville, 20 Hammondswood Road, Chestnut Hill, Mass.; Luther M. Howe, 19 Lafayette St., Wakefield, Mass.; W. W. Lee, 72 Maynard St., Pawtucket, R. I.
Harold Joyce seldom tempted fate with games of chance in the old days, he wanted a sure thing. Now, however, he writes that at the Rockingham race track he was picking the winners successfully when Jack Everett and family appeared, down from Maine, and they profited by associating with him, as he gave them some good tips.
The class reporter consorted briefly with Don Ruxton and Art O'Shea at the Yale game. Art reported meeting Mike and Annis Stearns, now grandparents, at the Harvard game.
We're quoting from the Daily Dartmouth of Nov. 8, 1939: Brown shovelled apass to Boutin who immediately passed toJohn Glaze for the completion of a spectacular score. It was a story of a football game in the intramural series, Glaze playing for the Tri-Kaps. John Glaze '42 is, of course, the fine son of John '08.
Readers of Time magazine early in November were greeted by the pictured face of Classmate Harold O. Rugg, often in the news for his researches and original ideas in educational lines. The story in Time described how "H.0." gambled his last dollar to pay for the printing of a book he had written and which had been turned down by the usual publishers of such text books. The book has had enormous sales.
Harry Mitchell of Cleveland got to Boston in time to join Art Lewis at the Harvard game, and they liked it so well he stayed over for the Yale game the next week. Probably he liked that, too.
Henry Stone was reported to be seriously ill at his home in Haverhill, Mass., early in November.
In the Chicago Daily News of November 7 was a picture and story about Bill Knight. Seems he is being groomed (if that's the word) to be the Republican candidate for Attorney General of Illinois. The Daily News said he was sure of two classes of voters, the lawyers and the football fans. He has officiated at seven big games in the mid-west, and Thanksgiving day will work in the Illinois-Chicago game. Illinois lawyers have long known the good qualities of Bill. He served for two terms as state's attorney for Winnebago county.
At the Phi Beta Kappa dinner held on October 19 at Vassar College, Jean Symmes was awarded the special Vassar Key as the highest ranking student in the college. She is a member of the senior class.
Extract from a letter from Fred Munkelt:
"Dear Art: "Recently I stayed a couple of days in St. Paul and spent a happy evening with Jack 'Greetings' Norton and his family. I thought a story on him for the ALUMNI MAGAZINE was in order. If any classmates are half as hungry to hear about Jack as he is to hear about them, something of the following is worthwhile publishing.
"Jack Norton is the same 'Greetings' Norton around St. Paul as he was around the Dartmouth campus. He seems to know, and to be personally interested in, everybody in town, and he keeps his days full to over-flowing. His particular interest is youth. His job is principal of Monroe High School. He serves on several boards, such as those of the Boy Scouts and the Y. M. C. A. and is a member of the Juvenile Delinquency Commission. He is in demand as a speaker and toast-master and has from 75 to 100 engagements a year. In the fall he scouts Big Ten games for the University of Minnesota. Part of the summer he gives to a little commercial work, and the rest to his family consisting of Mrs. Norton and three boys, at his summer place on a lake about 180 miles north. Jack and Mrs. Norton say they will be happy to greet any '08ers passing that way."

Park Stickney is one of the few classmates we count on for material to make the class notes something more than imaginative meanderings of a writer who lacks facts to write. From Chicago, Park writes: "Dear Art:
"In case it hasn't come to your attention, this is to notify you that our highly esteemed classmate, Everett T. Marsh, has joined the ranks of grandfathers by the arrival of Everett Hills Marsh about two weeks ago. Ev is carrying his head high and trying to look like a grandfather, but despite a slight thinning of the hair on top of his head he has no success whatever in trying to assume that role. As for Vi, it will be another twenty years at least before she can hope to play the conventional grandmother with any possible success.
"Fred Munkelt was out here in Chicago for a few days and he, Dolly Hilton, Ev and I had a very enjoyable lunch one noon. Fred later went up to St. Paul and reported having a fine visit with 'Greetings' Norton and his fine family. I used to see Jack at reasonably frequent intervals many years ago, but not for a long time now.
"Early in the fall I had rather definitely planned to be up in Hanover over the Cornell week-end, but I have had to abandon that idea as my next trip East will probably have to suit the convenience of others rather than myself. However, I hope to get up to Hanover some time during the late fall or winter."
