1909*

Harold Prescott reports that this summer he was happy to see the following visitors who were in New York to visit the World's Fair: Inge Fearing with Helen and her sister; Art Buxton and his wife, Ruth; Jack Clough, his wife and two children.

Art Buxton, who is president of the Kentucky Chemical Manufacturing Company in Cincinnati, reports that his plant is running full blast as a result of the recent and rapid rise in commodity prices.

Jack Clough is still in the real estate business in Memphis, Tennessee and reports everything booming.

Russ Pettengill has bought a home and many acres of country-side at New Hope, Pennsylvania, just across the Jersey line. He has given up his Chicago home and comes up to his New York office once or twice a week, but otherwise runs his business enterprises from the New Hope Manor House. Why can't some of the rest of us lead a life like this?

Sawny Reagan was East for ten days on telephone business the latter part of September and reported that the Stamford team was not such as to make one feel particularly hopeful about our success in the Polo Grounds on December 2.

When we tried to get Gordon Weinz to attend the Class Dinner before the Harvard game, we found that he was vacationing in New Orleans.

Here is a further report on "Sons of Members." William Burpee, son of Ben and Marguerite Burpee, is a junior at Kimball Union, preparing for Dartmouth. Robert Hooker, son of Sandy and Lillian Hooker is a Senior at Kimball Union also preparing for Dartmouth; he is following in the foot-steps of his brother, Burton, who entered Dartmouth this fall from Kimball Union.

Lynde Tucker, who is connected with the Western Electric Company, has been transferred to Boston and is now located at 705 Mt. Auburn Street, Watertown, Mass.

A letter received from Reggie White, who is connected with the Great Western Division of the Dow Chemical Company, San Francisco, states that the chemical business is on the boom.

Freddie and Mary Carroll, have just recently returned from a month's trip to the Coast where they visited Banff, Lake Louise, San Francisco and Mexico. Freddie reports that when on the Coast he met Eddie Kelley who had recently suffered one or two bad heart attacks, but is now feeling like himself again and wanted to be remembered to the crowd.

The night before the Harvard game we had our usual fine turn-out for the class dinner at the University Club, the following members being present: Howard Spaulding, George Adams, Harry Burroughs, Dick Lord, Bernard Scully, Cad Cummings, Hal Pratt, Edgar Chappelear, Harry Floyd, Dan Watson, Bob Burns, Al Newton, Mike Farley, Inge Fearing, Curt Sheldon, Herb Hawes, Karl Hammond, Joe Worthing, Ralph White, Sam Bell, Plum Leighton, Howard Peterson, Art Swenson, Jack Childs, Clark Saville, Jimmie Driscoll, Mary Rogers and Sam Bell who had as his guest Judge Shute. Karl Hammond had as his guest his son and Howard Moody's son. Art Swenson, Inge Fearing, Sandy Hooker and Dan Watson as usual were in good voice and were supported by all present, some in good voice and some not. Bob Burns showed the moving pictures which he took at the reunion together with pictures of Marge and himself on a fishing trip. Some of the members present questioned whether Bob caught the fish, but the movies were marvelous. In addition to the movies of the reunion, he showed a film put out by the Whiting Milk Company showing the pleasure spots about New England. While an advertising film, it is so subtle that it made a fine addition to the evening's entertainment. Many thanks are due to Bob for the time and effort he put in to give us this showing.

We were very sorry to miss the old standbys, Freddie Carroll and Bob Holmes, at the dinner, but they paid the price of notoriety by being former Dartmouth office holders and were obliged to attend a meeting at the Harvard Varsity Club where a dinner was given to the Dartmouth coach and Dean Neidlinger.

Three of the members present were bubbling over in fine shape—lnge Fearing because of his prowess as a fisherman, Dan Watson because of his recent marriage and Bob Burns because he claimed he had taken 20 from Bob Holmes during the summer at golf after Holmes had practiced all summer on the course in order to get ready for the match. I think it .is now up to Holmes to give us the other side of the story.

We were glad to welcome Bernard Scully back with the crowd again. We have not seen him for some time. Ben is now connected with the Ralph F. Bass Company, wholesale paper concern, and is living at 671 Fellsway, Medford. Ben left his connection of twenty-eight years with the Munroe Company in order to see if he could better his position with a smaller concern. He reports that the change is in every way living up to his anticipations. Jack Dowdell is now connected with Delafield & Delafield, 14 Wall Street and is living at Rivermere, Bronxville, N. Y.

We have just learned from the College that Emile Erhard is now a resident of 1111 Wellington Ave., Pasadena, Calif. We hope to have more information to report about him in a later addition.

A note has just come to my desk that Allen Newton's mother passed away at the ripe old age of 89 on November Ist.

Here is an advertising plug: Chappelear told me at the Class Dinner that he had secured from Mary Rogers some marvelous maple syrup. I asked him to send me some. It has just recently arrived and is all that Chap had to say for it. The price is very reasonable, the address is Earl J. Rogers, Cabot, Vermont.

As far as your scribe was able to ascertain, Harold Prescott and he were the only class members present at the Yale game. Those who did not attend certainly missed something.
