1912*
Your Secretary missed the Boston Dartmouth Dinner on February 2, but the twelve boys who were there signed their names to the 1912 place card and sent it to your Secretary with the following memorandum: "We can readily conceive why Doc O'Connor with his corpulent anatomy would hibernate in his New York City hole to shun the enormous umbra that he would cause on Candlemas Day, but why should you practice the same exclusiveness?"
(Signed) "Twelve privates without the privy-counsellor."

Your Secretary had a welcome letter from Pete (Paul R.) Fellows last month. Pete went to California in the spring of 1922, with the expectation of a short life. He now writes that he is in as good health as one could possibly be. In 1931 he opened an insurance agency in La Mesa, ten miles out of San Diego, just inside the United States, north of the Mexican border. Since Pete arrived, San Diego has tripled in population. From it he can run to the mountains in about an hour for skiing and winter sports and then go back to the beach for a good swim afterward. Pete has a son, whose name he does not give us, but who is attending the State College in San Diego. He will be twenty-one next summer. Pete occasionally sees Tex Morris, who lives in La Jolla, twenty miles away, and Sam Hobbs drops in on his trips through town.

Your Secretary had a fine letter from Peep Jones, who is still holding forth as town clerk and treasurer in Windham, Vt. Although Peep made the Tenth and Twentieth Reunions, he missed out on the Twenty-fifth, so that it is a long time since any of us have seen him. Peep has never married, but is living with his mother, who I believe is postmaster of the town. In addition to serving as town clerk and treasurer since 1921, and as part time superintendent of schools from 1924 to 1935, most of the time in Windham and two or three neighboring towns as well, Peep has been representative to the legislature (1923, 1925, and 1937), and served in 1937 on the Ways and Means and Banking and Insurance Committees. Since 1924, Peep has had a weekly column entitled the "Rustic's Viewpoint" in the Brattleboro Daily Reformer, which gets copied pretty regularly by other papers. Peep's home is north of Brattleboro and south of Chester, and is at a 1940-foot altitude, with a fine panoramic view of distant mountains. He keeps two horses and seven head of cattle, and does his own chores. In the church of the village, he is clerk, Sunday school superintendent, janitor free gratis, and substitute organist. The last classmate Peep saw was Henry Bailey Stevens at a Farm Bureau field day in Hanover in '37, and he wishes some classmates would tour southern Vermont and circle around to his place.

Layt Layton, who is pastor of Grace Methodist Episcopal church at Clinton and Fairfield Avenues, 458 Clinton Ave., Bridgeport, Conn., has a son 21 years of age, whose name your Secretary does not have, and who was stricken about eight years ago with infantile paralysis. He was taken to the Warm Springs Foundation for treatment for four months during convalescence, and Layt is naturally now much interested in Doc's work on the Foundation.
Shrig Shrigley has a new residence address at 15 Orne Square, Salem, Mass. Shrig is manufacturing slippers.
Your Secretary has a fine letter from Tommy Thomas at 137 Fairmount St.. Lowell, Mass. Tommy says he has a letter from Bill Shapleigh, and that Bill reports that the only reason he didn't enjoy the Dartmouth-Cornell game was because he broke the stem of his pipe. Tommy of ten sees Gee Bullard and his son, Junior, who is a fine boy and a chip of the old block. He says that when Martha Erwin Bullard walks in the door, it seems as if "Long Jim" was lifting the latch, smiling and joking. Margaret Thomas had her appendix out in December, Tommy's father died a week later, and his sister was injured in an automobile accident, but the family is now all safe and well. Walter F. Jr. is at Emerson School at Exeter, and headed for Andover next year and then Dartmouth. The second boy, Teddy, is heading in the same direction. There are two small girls, Marcia and Sylvenda. Tommy says Marcia is Ail-American football material.

There are eight members of the class of 1912 in "Who's Who." Their names will be published in a future issue. In the meantime, your Secretary would appreciate a guess from any member of the class as to who these eight may be. Guesses may be published or confidential, as desired, but your Secretary will owe a good cigar to anyone who can guess half the list without looking them up.
