1920*
I suppose that items printed in the newspaper are generally the most important bits of news. We seem to average one a month. This month features our athletic contemporary, Mel Merritt. The financial pages of the January 13 Boston papers announced that Mel had become a general partner of F. S. Moseley and Co. with head- quarters in Boston. He was formerly a general partner of H. C. Wainwright and Co.
Bake crashed through with his usual newsy letter concerning his wanderings. He surely keeps in touch with no end of Dartmouth men and particularly members of the class. Here are some of the high lights: On his way to Florida, where he visited Dick Werfelman '9, he spent the night with our Hal Huntington at Atkinson, N. C. Hal is one of the biggest blueberry growers in the East with trucks, packing houses, and a regular army of workers. In- cidentally, he is the chesty father of five children, the eldest being six years old; Cornell game with Pat Leonhard '19, picking up Jim Reber on the way. Jim is in the dyeing business in Reading, Pa.; Yale game week-end with our roommate Dr. Ains- worth at Beacon, N. Y. (Think of all that room and board on the credit side of the ledger, keeping in mind that Mrs. Baketel also participated.) To do the old Bags credit, we must add that he threw a free meal for Rus Keep when he was in Philadelphia recently. At our soth ask Rus to repeat his youngster's comments at the Yale game when an Eli missed a pass.
An inquiry from Ken Spalding: He asks, "I'd like to know if any '20ers ever had anything to do with Camp Becket—Beckett, Mass." Some of you Joes must have so get in touch with Ken at 291 South St., South- bridge, Mass.
In the column for January I credited Randolph Eddy with the honor of having the first '2O son in Dartmouth. I guess I'm wrong. Port Durkee writes that his son started his sophomore year this fall. Port says he sees Zack Jordan from time to time, but gives no news about the "old Apple." Port failed to say that he and Charlie McGoughran met in New York recently. (I've often tried to dodge him myself.) However, a recent memorandum "from the desk of— C. G. McGoughran" mentioned the fact.
The following sent greetings at the time they sent their 53.00 to Roc.: Ed Curtis from Kankakee, Ill.; Paul Johnson from Sioux City, Iowa: Dan Bender from Mont- clair, N. J.: Bob Van Iderstine from Tenafly, N. J.; Roy Finkbine from Des Moines, Iowa; and Abe Winslow from San Francisco. Several of the before-mentioned signified intentions of being in Hanover in June, 1940.
Wes Carr attached a little longer note, saying that his job, family, and residence were the same as when he last reported. His oldest boy pulled a muscle in his leg skiing not so long ago, and he hobbled around for some time on a cane. You've guessed it; the prop was Wes' senior cane and caused considerable reminiscing on the part of the old man.
J. Almus Russell writes from Dakota Wesleyan University that he keeps superbusy as he heads up the English department of five members, serves on the Library Committee, is director of publicity, and in his spare moments writes a bit. The Professor summers at his ancestral home in Mason, N. H. Almus enclosed a bibilography of his writings, which includes 50 articles written for magazines and newspapers.
The Alumni Office has furnished the following address changes: Intra-city moves: Bob Mulcahy to 54 Maplewood St., Watertown, Mass.; Hank Spero to 220 S.

The owner and manager of the Wake- field Woollen Co. is living at 20 Kenyon Ave., Wakefield, R. I.—name, Clif Aulis. You will find the president of Advertising Management, Inc., John Carden, at 143 Newbury St., Boston.
Fred Root was last heard from in 1923; he now reports as follows: Bus.: secretary and treasurer of Dramatury, Inc., Bulkley Bldg., Cleveland (I find that Dramatury is the art of dramatic composition; representation and stage effect). Res.: 3559 Larimore Road, Shaker Heights, Ohio.
We'll conclude with our theme song "Roc. will be on the Rock Pile if your Three Bucks isn't Paid soon."
Secretary,: 158 State St., Albany, N. Y.
