1912*
233 members of the Class of 1912 are receiving the ALUMNI MAGAZINE for 1939-1940. To date, 69 of the Class have paid their subscription. A check for $2.50 addressed to the Dartmouth ALUMNI MAGAZINE, Hanover, will foot the bill.
Some of the boys have been confused by Treasurer Dick Plumer's bill for Class dues sent out some time last spring. This bill had no connection with the ALUMNIMAGAZINE subscription, but did include the assessment for Class Books insofar as they had not been previously paid. Class Books have now been sent to every member of the Class irrespective of the assessment, through the kindness of an anonymous benefactor of the Class. Those who have not paid the Class Book assessment, and still desire to do so, may send a check to Dick Plumer, and the benefactor will get the benefit.
Boss Geller of Owego, New York, has been appointed, and has accepted the appointment as Class Agent for 1912 in place of Ralph Pettingell, who has served so ably and faithfully these many years. Boss writes modestly that he was in Dartmouth only his last two years, and consequently had not the opportunity to know the Class as intimately as those of us who were freshmen together. He says, "I will never forget, however, the kindness shown me by the men of 1912 in accepting me as a classmate in the fall of 1910." Boss will be very glad to get suggestions from any members of the Class. Boss is a born campaigner, and had the responsibility of the Owego Boy Scout Campaign and of the "Every Member Canvas" of his church in October.

Bill Butler has been made Regent of the American College of Hospital Administrators, with special supervision over the ten western states. As a result,—many meetings arid plans including a Western Institute in 1940. Bill and Teresa got as far east as Worcester, Mass., in October, but these unlooked for new responsibilities knocked out their plans for trips to Rochester and Quebec.
Quech French is married, and the congratulations of the Class are due him and Bertha. The Secretary hasn't the exact dope, but thinks the date Friday before the Harvard-Dartmouth game, at Melrose, followed by a celebration at the Statler. Rollie Linscott attended, and furnished Garcia cigars. Almost equally surprising is the news that Quech has been transferred to Windsor, Nova Scotia, as manager of Colonial Fertilizer Co. He landed there by car October 1st, and was sent to the hospital October 3rd. Quech writes that he went in at 218 pounds, and checked out at 189, as a result of nerves and stomach. His new plant is large, and manufactures and ships in the maritime provinces around 35,000 tons of fertilizer yearly, besides doing a big hide and skin business and wool business. They ship all over Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Cape Breton Island, Newfoundland and Aroostook County. Windsor is located in the Annapolis Valley, the greatest apple growing section in the country. Quech anticipates a bigger and harder job, but among hospitable and friendly people.
