Congratulations to Pinky Booth, elected a trustee of Clark University. To K. W. Foley, new owner of The Dartmouth Press in Hanover. To Red Holbrook, New York Manager of Yankee magazine. To Pennington Haile whose Looking At TheNews appears in the September issue of the New World. To Phil Van Huyck, insurance manager of the firm of S. S. Walstrum-Gordon & Forman, in Ridgewood, N. J. Van says he is maintaining connections in N. Y. and will be glad to hear from any of the visiting firemen at 41 E 42nd Street.
Ax Coffin writes from Chicago that he saw Fred Eaton and his wife and daughter who came through from California this summer. Fred is in the business of manufacturing automobile turntables. Fred likes California and does a bit of skiing, in fact he is regarded as one of their topnotch skiers; so much so that he was given a job in some movie in which there were a lot of ski shots. Ax says Fred hasn't changed a bit except that he has grown a slight bush on the upper lip. Ax reports that Frank Mandel has joined his organization and commutes regularly between Calif., and N. Y. Last winter on his annual United Fruit trip to the Tropics Ax had a nice visit on the telephone with Bevo Beers. Ax sees quite a bit of Mike Watkins, with the Youngstown Sheet and Tube Cos., in Chicago and says Mike is doing a fine job as president of the Alumni Association of Chicago. Thanks for all the news, Ax.
Mrs. and Mr. Spud Spaulding with Mr. and Mrs. Prenny Gallup stopped at the house the morning of the Harvard game.
Just received a note from W. J. McNiff, of Oxford, Ohio, who reports that Dr. Howard Clark flew East, attended sessions of the American Academy, in Chicago, picked up a new car in Flint, Mich., and drove it West; all dangerous feats. He did all these things with no mishap and then fell off the roof of his home, injuring his hip, while trying to prune a vine. Hard luck, Doc.
All captains and lieutenants please keep after your men for news. Also please get in the dues—To George Traver in Chicago.
On November 11, your Secretary attended a class dinner at the Dartmouth Club of New York City. Among those present were Brad Wilson, Red Holbrook, Bob Hall, Lou Pezzini, Bob Fistere, Doug Craig, Doug Graham, Phil Van Huyck, Don Coyle, Stew Ryder, Charlie Kearns, Mike Fitch, Harry Mills, Bill Short, Dick Henry, and your Secretary. A very fine dinner and a most pleasant evening was enjoyed by all.
Among the high spots of the evening were movies of the tenth and fifteenth reunions, snapshots of the fifteenth reunion by Hartshorn and Austin, and a telegram from Maloney and Lonsdale.
Discussion was held on football activities and prospects, a plan for an annual sectional reunion at Jug End Barn, and the proposal that the district captains of the permanent Alumni Fund organization dig up news through their lieutenants for your Secretary. This last plan will be of great help in improving this column.
Bob Fistere spoke very highly of a book Back Where I Came From, by our classmate A- J- Leibling.
Thank you, Dick Henry for your fine letter reporting on this meeting. Congratulations to Jim White for a grand evening.
The night before the Harvard Dartmouth game your Secretary received a telegram from a group enjoying a dinner at the University Club in Boston, those present were George Murphy, Tim Lyons, Dick Teel, Luitwieler, Warren, Pete Wheatley, Bob Morgan, Brad Hersey, Tupper, and Tillie Lourie. Thanks for the telegram, sorry I could not be with you.
At the Harvard game your Secretary saw Arnold Jenkins, Hooky Hagenbuckle, Paul Synnott and George Murphy. At the Yale game I saw Mrs. and Dick Wason, Stan Lonsdale and Dave Solly.
