1928*

While on a skiing expedition to Hanover over the long New Year's week-end, your Secretary spent a pleasant evening in front of the fireplace at the Inn with "Red" Sanborn and his very attractive wife, "Fonty." Having left their two daughters at home in Andover, Mass., they were off for a week's skiing in Hanover and the White Mountains. The assistant librarian at Dartmouth tipped me off that Red published last summer an excellent "Historical Map of Kennebunkport, Maine," which is in great demand, particularly by readers of Kenneth Roberts' novels. Further cross examination during the course of the evening revealed that Red, who has been a math instructor at Andover since 1928, has written three math textbooks: "Exercises in First Year Algebra," American Book Co., 1934, "Elementary Algebra Review Outline and Exercises," Harcourt, Brace & Co., 1935, "Exercises in Plane Geometry" (with Mr. O. Tower), 1937. His modesty about his publications leads me to repeat my request that whenever you have a book, a poem, or a magazine or newspaper article published, you immediately send two copies to me, one for the class archives, and the other for the Dartmouth Library.

Another bit of news picked up in Hanover was that Joanne Margaret Tidd arrived in Hanover October 8, 1938, the afternoon of the Dartmouth-Princeton game. Proud Papa Joe Tidd says she is so pretty that there is no doubt about her being invited to Carnival in 1954. Joe is in the biology department at Dartmouth, as are Bill Ballard and Tax Connell. Bill is secretary-treasurer of the New Hampshire Academy of Science. Prof. Bill Kimball, the assistant dean of the Thayer School, was out of town, so we missed the opportunity of seeing him and Margaret.

In speaking of publications I neglected to mention songs. As far as I know, Clark Harrington is the only '28er whose songs have been published; his first, "I Mus' Keep A-Moverin' " was published in 1937, and his second, "My Grandfather Used to Hum," came out last year. Clark, who works for the Columbia Broadcasting System, has also written two books of verse.

Two '28ers are editors of newspapers: Dick Barnstead is editor and general manager of the Stoneham Independent in his home town of Stoneham, Mass. Dick is past-president of the Stoneham Rotary Club, member of the Town Planning Board, and an incorporator of the Stoneham Five Cents Savings Bank. Dick and Nance have two daughters. The other editor is Bill Embler, of the Times Herald, a daily paper in Middletown, N. Y., with a circulation of 9,000. Bill doesn't let time hang heavy on his hands, because in addition to raising two sons, he finds time to indulge in a bit of gardening, camping, collecting minerals, local history, and photography. Another journalist is Ned Brown, Amesbury correspondent of the Boston Globe and the Newburyport DailyNeios, and a contributor to the rapidly growing Yankee Magazine. Ned gives radio addresses over Station WLAW in Lawrence, is a trustee of the Amesbury Public Library, and clerk of the Amesbury Industrial Trade Board. And then there is Phil Sherman, perenially on the run in Hanover, where he has been correspondent for the Boston Glqpe since 1927. From 1932 to 1936 Phil was chairman of the Grafton County Democratic Committee, and is currently a justice of the peace. He says, "If any '28ers want to get married in Hanover, I'll do it free."

Gil Swanson reports himself still busily engaged as president o£ the Jerpe Dairy Products Co. in Fayetteville, Ark. In addition to helping Roberta bring up Gib ("extra fine boy, aged 11/2") Gil finds time to serve as deputy sheriff, which makes him the only such officer in the class, and conjures in one's mind all sorts of exciting things, such as riding in posses, etc., etc. He sees Dick Walker and Emil Shukert in Omaha occasionally, says Dick has been promoted to vice president of the Byron Reed Co., an old, well-throught-of real estate and insurance firm. Dick and Evelyn have a boy and a girl. "Shuke" is a free lance real estate operator in Omaha, has recently built himself a beautiful home in "Fairacres." He and Helen have adopted a little boy. Gil says also that a while back Hugh Smith, representing the Sisalkraft Paper Co. of Chicago, gave a demonstration before a group of farmers and University of Arkansas agricultural officials of how to put up a hay stack and also how to make a silo, using Sisalkraft, of course. Hugh and Jeannie have a daughter over a year old.

"THERE'S NOTHING ELSE TO DO"

When we received Jerry Warner's reunion questionnaire last May we were very much interested to see that he listed two children, Arthur S., born May 7, 1937, and Betty 8., born (?) December 5, 1938. This seemed like pretty long range forecasting, and it wasn't far wrong, because a card, with a picture of a stork hovering over the Warner household in Taihoku, Taiwan, Japan, came last week announcing the arrival of Elizabeth Barbara November 23, 1938. The card also quotes the Warner family as follows: Rella—"There's nothing else to do down here"; Jerry—"What! No twins"; Arthur—"Glad to have a playmate."

We're obliged to Tavey Taylor for more details about the '28ers who attended the reunion in San Francisco at the time of the Stanford-Dartmouth football game: "Ted Baehr is working and living in Los Angeles, is married and has a small daughter. He wanted to know all about the reunion last June and about all the fellows present. Bob Reid is a salesman for the American Pad & Paper Co. with a territory from Houston, Texas, to Seattle. Bob and I were good friends at Hanover; I hadn't seen him since graduation, but he has changed darn little. He isn't married yet. Jud Whitehead lives in Oakland and is Pacific Coast manager for the Whitehead Metal Products Co. He and Helen have a young son about a year old. Johnny Lyman is with the Hardacre Lyman Travel Bureau in Los Angeles. He hasn't changed a bit and is the same happy-go-lucky fellow he always was. I have seen him three times in the past five years. Curt Bird and Jack Rose from Los Angeles were on hand in time for the game, but I had only a hurried talk with Jack."
