1910*
THE MARSHALL COMSTOCKS are an interesting family of accomplishments ....although Marshall was with us only two years before transferring to M.I.T. where he got an engineering degree in 1911, he led a busy life in Hanover—having an unusually good voice, he made the Glee Club freshman year, and sang in the College Choir and Orpheus Club.... marrying Helen Ogilvie in April, 1916, they had three children, Barbara, Ruth and Charles Barbara at the age of 21 graduated from Radcliffe last June with the highest honors, magna cum laude, and had a grand time outside of studies Ruth after a year at Furman University in Greeneville, S. C., was married Sept. 9, to Rand Smith of New Bedford, who attended the New England Conservatory of Music Charles now 15 attends school in Medford, and we hope that he has some predilection for Hanover. Although Marshall graduated from M.1.T., he is a good Dartmouth man and is proud to be a member of such a class as 1910.
At the Lafayette Game were seen Slip Powers, Inky Taylor, George Sinclair, Norton Cushman Ralph Abercrombie was re-elected president of the Tilton Alumni Association Peregrinating B. Armstrong called on us recently but being out of town we missed the infectious goodwill of The Pride of Friendship, Maine Herb Woods who is busy with his labor duties in Washington, is due in Hanover next June As is Lefty West who took in the Princeton Game Horace Eberly, 1910's sole representative in St. Louis, is another one slated for Hanover Reunion; the gang will be glad to see the man who has been United Drug's key boss in the Southwest for many years.
MAC KENDALL STEPS UPWARDAGAIN in railroad circles, having been recently named as Superintendent of the Sioux City Division of the Chicago & Northwestern to succeed C. R. Hunter, deceased... .it is an important section of the Northwestern, and Mac's promotion is a signal recognition of the consistent ability he has shown since starting as a telegrapher with the road shortly after graduation in 1910....it's a long stride from Pompanoosuc, Vermont, where the father of Mac and Warren Kendall was B. & M. agent, to heading up a division of a busy road like the C. & N. W. but Mac rates every bit of the promotion.... then, too, 1910 rejoices for he's always been one of the most likeable men in the Class .... the Kendalls will live in Sioux City.
TOMMY LEONARD is sticking his chin out again. .. .having run across Charlie Bardwell he comments on Bard's physical well-being and general appearance, adding this challenge, He ought to be ableto beat you or your friend Jack Nortonhands down in a 100 yard dash. Of course,if you stay up in Canaan long enough andget plenty of open air, you might be ableto give him a go. .. . but Norton nevercould... .we're passing this quip along to Walter who'll have to go up to Nashua and mop up this Leonard fellow in golf .... then turn him over to Larry Bankart who will ski all over the pieces that are left. .. .for Tommy admits that he is good at both golfing and skiing. Anyway, Tom rates some consideration from the Class for he has an attractive daughter, Peggy, in the freshman class at Skidmore, she, without any question, taking after her mother. The 1910-Daughter-Delegation at Skidmore now consists of Natalie Hatch, a junior; Marjorie Scarlett and Peggy Leonard, freshman; and our own Katherine, a senior, Easty's daughter Betty, having graduated last June.
DRINKING LEMONADE was Walter Norton's chief exercise during the recent summer, so this man Leonard might have been nearer right than he actually felt when he issued the challenge Walter spent most of the season sitting on the porch of the New Haven Lawn Club watching Nancy play some real tennis in six tournaments, being a runner-up in two; three times she ran up against Mrs. Sample of Miami, a touring player on the women's rating list, and gained valuable experience thereby Nancy is a great girl and does one whale of a job in her studies.
JACK AND 808 WASHBURN, sons of Harold, Dartmouth's Yankee French Prof, are going places athletically Jack reached the tennis finals at Exeter this fall, and Bob is playing a lively game in the line of Hanover High....we sometimes wonder if Harold speaks classroom French with the Putney, Vt., Yankee twang that has stuck by him through the years Phil Forristal is engaged in the advertising business Don Bryant's son Edward, was married in late September; Don is an examiner with R.F.C. on industrial loans. .... "Bennie," son of Harold Culver Benjamin, is attending Shattuck School at Faribault, Minn., this year in preparation for entering Dartmouth next fall; it is the same school that Nick Carter Jr., attended before coming to Hanover..... Clarke Tobin visited sophomore son Jack at Hanover in October.
ERNEST SMALL GAINS CAPTAINCY. .. .Receiving 'a merited promotion in Uncle Sam's Navy, Ernest Small is now stationed at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, on the U.S.S. Drayton which is flagship of Destroyer Division Three.... some extracts from Ernest's last letter will give you an idea of the active and uncertain life a Navy captain lives "Last April in Yorktown, Virginia, I had a four day reunion with my wife prior, to the Fleet's sudden return to the West Coast. Three of these days were taken up with examinations for promotion to Captain, to which grade I ascended on July 1. This was our first meeting since January. During the past summer while at San Diego my family was assembled for the first time in a year. Early in September Roger headed back for Kent where he is a fifth former.
"On September 23 the Fleet anchored at San Pedro. That week-end a tropical blow raised merry hell in the watch. Several destroyers lost chains and anchors. One had her 45 fathom shackle pulled apart.
"On September 29 we returned to San Diego, and on October 5 this Division and three others sailed as the Destroyer Force of the Hawaiian Detachment. We arrived here the 12th "for training," and nobody knows for how long. My wife reached here the day before I did. We are comfortably fixed in a small place at Waikiki, living out of a trunk in true Navy fashion. This is my fifth visit to these islands but it is my wife's first. We are having a lot of fun exploring Oahu at present.
"From the foregoing you can see that we never have a dull moment. I have been told that I would go ashore for duty next summer but I feel that anything may happen before that time rolls around."
WINSOR WILKINSON is watching Stanford get ready for the Dartmouth game Jim Shattuck, Ed's older boy, has gone to Buenos Aires on a business trip Young Sid Bull is running on the Dartmouth Cross Country Team this fall. Jim Kerley Jr. '43, got himself pictured in the October ALUMNI MAGAZINE, giving a fitting demonstration of how a Freshman should carry furniture for an upper classman... .Jim Sr., is a travelling Construction Engineer for the Public Works Administration and lives at 6 Third Ave., Union City, Pa.
THE HARVARD GAME GET-TO-GETHER was a fine success, thanks to Insurancer Else Jenness who always stages, single-handed, a nice party Treas. Paine up from Waterbury; Jack Bates, the oil and cattle tycoon, on from Oklahoma; Boston emitting such standbys as Slip Powers, Dick Vincens, Ray Gorton, Ed Shattuck, Bones Jones, Win Nay, Rusty Williams, Johnnie Hobbs, George Sinclair, Ted Hill, Jess Wilson, King Brady, Hal Sprague, B. Armstrong, Earle Pierce, Hoitt Charlton, Jim Mac Pherson; Clarke Tobin from N. Y.; Walter Norton, Fletch Burton, Maurice Blake, Art Allen, Norton Cushman, Cliff Lyons; and Ed Keith, big as a Mountain capturing the Long Distance Prize by coming up from Puerto Rico.
It was a grand time with plenty of "beefing" between gulps of steak and fish Art Allen checked those present while Else collected for his party Johnny Hobbs did a little expansive bragging about that 3 yr.-old son who'll enter Dartmouth when Father John is around 70. .... Ed Keith invited the gang down to his Puerto Rican hacienda.
At the game next day were also seen Fielder Jones, Ben Williams, Tommie Leonard, Larry Bankart, Bill Tucker, Roger Pierce, Type Hitchcock, Harry Stevens, George Underwood, Doc Foster, Art Lord, Russ Meredith, Liz Prescott, Gay Gleason, Geo. Thurber. ... the human memory is frail on a week-end like this ... .we hope that we have not passed up any names.
STATE OF THE CLASS 1. Your secretary needs news items. 2. Ed Shattuck has been elected Chairman of the Reunion Committee, thereby assuring plenty of action at your 30th next June. 3. It's Painless To Pay Paine.
Secretary, Canaan St., Canaan, N. H.
Treasurer, 153 Newton Terrace, Waterbury, Conn.
