TOM DEWEY, who is getting into the hair of a lot of folks down N. Y. way, was trained by no less an authority on "What a Good Prosecuting Attorney Should Do" than 1910's barrister-man, Raymond Branch Seymour, who has an additional claim to fame in having been born just one day ahead of John VanderPyl and your Secretary, sometimes styled as twins.

. Brooklyn-born Sir Ray knew a lot of the answers to pass along to Tom Dewey, then a struggling young lawyer in the Seymour office ... which plus fatherly advice seems to have landed on fertile soil.

IT WON'T BE LONG before the Seymour-VanderPyl combination start their annual duties in connection with the Alumni Fund, so be ready How good a job they have done in recent years is shown by 1910's high standing.

JOHNNY MITCHELL, principal of Lakewood, Ohio, High School, lives at 1610 Lewis Drive in that city Horace Chadbourne, author of note, resides at Lake McDonald, Montana, has an office at 245 sth Ave., E., Kalispell Ed Shattuck is back at the Boston office of Geo. H. Morrill Cos., 130 Clarendon St., living on Channing Road, Dedham.

WINTER. . You Tenners who have been away from New Hampshire for many years will be surprised at some of the changes that have occurred in winter customs. . . we used to think that if you got snowed in with the first real snow of the season, you just stayed there for the rest of the cold months. . but now all of that is changed Youngsters from about 3 up use plenty of skis, some skates and toboggans, a few snowshoes ... middle-aged citizens do likewise . . it is nothing for a group of young folks to pack about 6 into a closed car or even into a roadster with their skis in patented or homemade racks on car roof or rear, and barge all over the country, seeking out good snow, trying here and there, covering 300 or 400 miles over a week-end .. we know a married couple in the late thirties that sails forth each Sunday morning to spend the entire day cruising and skiing all through the White Mountains . enthusiasts drive up from Boston on Saturday, ski all day Sunday, drive back after dark that evening, which is one heck of a long way from how you lads used to spend your week-ends of the cold season.

ASIDE FROM THAT it is just about the same old country Even though neighborhoods of the cities change rapidly with the character of the average urbanite's contacts, anonymous, transitory, and even questionable, there is little of such in country communities You know everybody, and everybody knows you, good and bad points alike If you are sick, the neighbors will bring in old-fashioned (not bakery-made) cakes, pies, ice cream, food of all kinds, regardless of your affluence, and they'll do your housework, too If they are sick, you do likewise. . . . Living is relative and comparatively simple You don't need a million No one around you has one.

OPPORTUNITY. . . we've sometimes thought that if a professional man, such as a doctor or a lawyer, who has saved up a little money, wished to move to a nice country community and could adjust himself, he could pick up enough business to work as much or as little as he pleased for cash income and enjoyment, and lead a whale of a nice life. There are plenty of such opportunities for a man ready to retire or semi-retire. And there are many compensations in being neither too near nor too far from Hanover, which Harry Hillman says is the expressed residence of every Dartmouth man he ever met.

OFFSPRING Bob Wells, freshman son of our late Harry Wells, is following in the footsteps of his illustrious senior brother Eddie by skiing on the 1942 class team he looks like another Dartmouth great Margaret, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Unangst, was married on Jan. 22 to Dr. Raymond Lester Osborne at Westwood, N. J Paul Albert's sons, Paul Jr. and John, are headed for Dartmouth in the not too distant future, which means that Sir Paul will relive happily many of his old college days Another lad on the way up is Dick, son of George Davies Then there is King Brady Jr., Frank to be sure, now in Wellesley High, looking Dartmouth ward King's older daughter, who graduated from Wellesley last June, is teaching and studying for a higher degree at a university in France, the next daughter being a Wellesley junior.

THE OLD GRAY HORSE and buggy of Dr. Frost were a familiar Hanover sight for many years This letter from George Davies tells an incident about "Gil" Frost that reveals his insight of student brain workings, "One of my memories relates to Dr. Frost. We don't have men like him nowadays. Rough and gruff, and yet with a heart of gold. My slight contact with him came in March of our junior year. I was a bit down and felt like accepting a few days of vacation if some considerate Hanover doctor would fix up my cuts. I went to Dr. Frost with fear and trembling knees because of the stories we had heard about his treatment of un- dergraduates. He seemed to instinctively guess my desires, because he looked me over, and then said abruptly, 'You go home for two weeks.' The joy and surprise almost knocked me over. He must have fixed it up with Chuck, because the gates at the office swung wide for me."

HOWARD FOGG lives at 713 Greenwood Ave., Wilmette, 111., has office at 327 So. LaSalle St. in Chicago Howard Bushway is still interested in everything he can obtain about Spuddy Pishon's flying career We were privileged to see recently an uncensored letter from Harold Robinson in China... conditions seem to be rather bad in the occupied sections with all sorts of inhuman acts being done.

.... Les Wiggin sent us several clippings on the Dartmouth-Stanford game, one of which pays Earl Blaik a nice tribute. . . a

deserved one we would say Incidentally, Earl and Harry Ellinger are holding down headquarters in the Field House these days, busy, watching their boys in a helpful way, trying to do a whale of a good job for the lads first, Dartmouth next You'd be surprised to see some of the letters that come to Earl from boys around the country who so admire the spirit of the place and the way athletics are run that they want to get their college educations at Hanover Then, too, one of the biggest tributes we know of is the fact that three of Earl's college friends at Miami University are sending their sons to Dartmouth.... and so on ad infinitum. That town is filled with human interest stories because it is still a community up in the sticks that attracts good kids, good men for faculty and coaches,. . . . a town that leads a somewhere near normal, unhurried life. . . . then, too, the air is unpolluted according to Harry Ellinger, a Brooklynite gone native, one who says, "The minute you get off the train at New York, you feel as though you had to put on boxing gloves to fight your way about." That is what Hanover does to folks.

NEWELL MAYNARD is Fletcher professor of oratory at Tufts College, lives at 24 Exeter St., Medford Another Tenner in the college teaching ranks is Ed Dusham, professor of zoology at Penn State Ed lives at 607 North Burrowes St., State College, Pa Still another is Warren Shaw, who resides at 1101 West Springfield Ave., Urbana, 111., and teaches at University of Illinois Mac Kendall's brother, Warren '99, president of the Alumni Council and enthusiastic Dartmouthite, told me not so long ago that Tally Holmes had done a great job in life down in Washington Tally is highly successful as a banker, lawyer, teacher, owns a hotel, has two smart sons, one a junior in high school And we heard that Charlie Thomas is quite successful as a newspaper columnist at Bridgeport, Conn.

MAY MISS. . .The news larder is running low Unless you fellows send along some items, you MAY MISS an issue or two of class notes before June Most of you lads know an item or two about your family, yourself, or some other Tenner that would make good reading for rest o£ the class 1910 is a leader in the Group Subscription Plan for the ALUMNI MAGAZINE, as is proven by the fact that some 40 classes are subscribing similarly this year 191° can also maintain a sizable volume of class notes through your Secretary if you as individuals will feed the material.
