1919*
First of all, we have some highly interesting information regarding members of the Class of '43 who are sons of '19 men.
James N. Capps attended Northwood School in his Junior year and graduated from New Hartford High School last Spring. Is interested in winter sports, won his letter in baseball, has talents along musical lines, and is a better-than-average student.
Robert M. Freedberg graduated from Salem High this year. Is interested in sports of all kinds, having played football and hockey in High School. Is also interested in dramatics and is one of the few Freshmen picked for one of the leads in this Fall's student production at Dartmouth.
Edward C. Ingraham Jr., due to the nomadic existence of his parents, has attended 6 different schools, including one in France, three in California, and two in New York State—but in spite of this hop-skip-and-jump type of education, plus missing one term altogether while his family were in Mexico City—he entered college this Fall with no conditions at the age of 17. Promptly upon arriving in Hanover, he passed the Social Science exam (now given at the beginning of Freshman year to see how good you are). Only 11 out of the entire 659 Freshmen passed and Clarke's grade was the highest of all—168 out of a possible 228. Scores ranged from his high to a low of —5.
Warren B. Thompson graduated from Jefferson High School, Lafayette, Indiana, last Spring. His hobby is saddle horses and he is competent along mechanical lines.
Was on his school's Debate Team for four years.
Lake in October, I went to Washington, D. C. and Pinehurst, N. C. In Washington I spent a pleasant evening with Cole McCreery who reported on the party in Baltimore after the Navy game. Several '19 men and wives were there, including, besides the McCreerys, the Stewarts and Hallorans.
Richard L. Strout, another '19er I saw in Washington, is Correspondent for the Christian Science Monitor and his book, Maud: the Journal of Isabella Maud Rittenhouse, published by MacMillan Cos., has already won wide acclaim as the literary find of the autumn. It is described by one Reviewer: As delicious, intimate andsurprising a picture of Victorian Americaas it has been my fortune to come upon.
Norris Hodgkins, who is with the Citizens Bank & Trust Co. of Southern Pines, and I played golf together in Pinehurst and the last afternoon I was there,_ he showed me several delightful spots in that section which the average visitor rarely hears about.
Those who read Time know that our own Bill Cunningham was given a 3-column write-up in the Oct. 23d issue. Space in this column does not permit a complete quotation but I am giving a few paragraphs typical of the spirit of the story and the man himself—
"A prodigious worker, Bill Cunningham does his column every day, for Sunday produces six columns on Saturday's football game. On Sunday too he writes a full-length feature story about any subject that comes into his head. An average day brings him 70 letters, and all of them get answered anywhere from a week to a couple of months later. In his 17 years with the Post he has never taken a vacation.
"He does his work in a one-room studio that overlooks Boston Common and the Charles River. In one corner is a Dartmouth pennant, facing it the pennant of his Texas prep school. On the floor is a rug woven for Bill, with a facsimile of his signature sprawled across one end, an image of a long-horn Texas steer at the other.
"It has been estimated that if Cunningham changed his job, it would cost the Post 100,000 readers."
Football week-ends are for most of us the high spot of the year. For the Lafayette game in Hanover, we took two boys, my own son David, and Billy Wieber, both of whom were interviewed by Dean Strong and officially applied for admission to Dartmouth. The students put on a highly successful football rally Friday evening around a huge bonfire in the center of the campus. It was a grand weekend for all of us and it didn't take the youngsters long to feel that they are a part of the college. At the Inn after the game, one of them proudly said to the elevator boy, "We won!"
Seen in Hanover that week-end were Max Norton, Earl Blaik, Bill McCarter, Pete Grey and his sons Spud and Bob, Dan Featherstone, Clarke Ingraham, Bill Picken, Mai Drane, Louie Apteker with his daughters Shirley and Natalie, Bunny Collins, Bill McMahon, and Ralph Meader with his sons Bruce and Malcolm. Ralph lives in Sharon, Conn., and is associated with the Schlauch Laboratories Inc., at 159 E. 48th St., in New York.
The usual successful program proceeded the Harvard game. The night before at the University Club, 1919 produced the following: Bill White, Art Havlin, Spider Martin, Jack McCrillis, Ernie Rautenberg, Jim Davis, Jock Murray, Bob Proctor, Chuck Eaton, Phil Bird, Rock Hayes, Hawka Hawks, AL Googins, Rabbi Raible, Louis Munro, George Bingham, Henry Clay, Tom Bresnahan. McCarter was down but not at the dinner because he was speaking at the Varsity Club (Harvard) dinner. At the luncheon Saturday at the Cock Horse Tea Room in Cambridge, the following were checked in—
The Havlins, Phil Bird (Esther home recovering from an operation and doing nicely), the Rock Hayes, the Bill Whites and friends, Ernie Rautenberg, Jack and Hester McCrillis, the Martins, the Davises, the Dodds and a friend, Gus Cummings '27, Will Fitch (a rank outsider of 'l7) and friends, the Bevans, the Munros and friends, Rabbi Raible, and the Binghams. Jim Davis described the party as follows: After five years of lunching together before the game, the crowd is more thanever enthusiastic about it. Also word isgetting around, for we found tico otherclasses, '3O and '26, hiding away in acouple of the back rooms.
Movies of the 20th Reunion were shown at the luncheon party at Cambridge before the Harvard game. The reels of both the 15th and 20th have been forwarded to me and I shall be glad to mail one or both to any group or individual who might like to see them. There will be a nominal charge of $1.00 to cover shipping and insurance.
A recent week-end visitor to the Ardsley House, Irvington, New York, found it impossible to sleep during the night because of the constant noise of whistles blowing on boats going up the Hudson. In the morning, the visitor asked what this was and was told that all Standard Oil boats had to salute Captain Fiske as they passed Irvington.
Chet and Emily Gale were recent and very late visitors to the Fair, Gale doing things in his customary methodical and unhurried way.
Charlie Biddle wrote Jim Davis recently from Japan intimating he might be seen on U. S. soil some time next year.
Si Stein who was in Europe this summer with his family returned on the historic last trip of the Bremen. Si has one daughter who is a Senior at Northwestern, another a Junior at Stanford, and his son is a Senior at Exeter.
