Come, come, now—who is coming to REUNION? Everybody, of course, but who knows? Up to this writing, outside of your efficient and hardworking committee, the single, sole, and solitary signerupper which means "Yes" including the ever welcome and important little oblong piece of paper, is Vogie Stiles, the oil man from Illinois. Wouldn't little Audrey laugh and laugh if on the day of the REUNION outside of your E and HW Comm. Vogie should be the only one on hand!
Well, Vogie, should this happen you shall be treated like a friend of ours who went to Europe mid-winter, mid-depression. Once aboard and pilot dropped, our friend found himself the single and sole passenger on a palatial liner. And what a crossing he had! Ship service let down not a whit.—full dining room staff, flowers on every table, stewards, stewards everywhere, even a gala dinner with favors the last night out.
Now, Vogie, if no one else comes, your efficient and hard-working committee will do just that for you. We'll go through the whole program and never let you down.
As for the rest of youse—picture the chagrin if at the last moment Vogie couldn't come. There would be nobody outside of the said committee, and what a 85th that would be????!!!
So you see, a man is needed just in case Vogie doesn't come. Who will volunteer? About one hundred and fifty replies will provide just about adequate advance insurance. Take yourself in hand. Say to the little woman, "I have decided to go to Hanover this June and I am writing Jack Conners tonight, sending my check." Less than twenty words, easily done in one breath.
As for you, Ted Lavin, cruising around Cuba or wherever you are, and the rest of the bachelors, you have no excuse at all. Your acceptances are overdue. Hurry up!!
From Jack Dellinger we have a newspaper clipping from the Vinita, Oklahoma, Daily Journal, describing at length and in pictures the Grand River Dam, for which the architect is our own Bill Holway. Irom the pictures we gather it is one of the huge irrigation power projects which are dotting the West. Our congratulations to Bill on being selected to build Grand River Dam.
In connection with REUNION the college authorities direct our attention to "Hanover Holiday," which, as you know, provides a week of alumni post-graduate work together with plenty of opportunity for recreation, which starts immediately after Commencement on Monday, June 19. The committee suggests that our class might well re-read the complete descriptive article which appeared in the February issue of the ALUMNI MAGAZINE. Last year some twenty-odd 19*8 men with their wives extended their Reunion to include this study week and apparently found it well worth while. For further information address: Herbert W. Hill, Chairman, Dartmouth College, Hanover, N. H.
Once again we have the sad duty of recording the passing of another one of our classmates and friends, Doctor Bert J. Garry of Methuen, Mass., who died suddenly at sea, January 26, 1939, while traveling with his wife on a Caribbean cruise. Bert attended Harvard Dental School after leaving Hanover, and established practice in Methuen twenty years ago
Bert's many professional and civic duties had restricted his class associations somewhat, but we recall John Burleigh remarking that he had seen Bert almost annually and of his keen interest in the class and college affairs.
It is regretted that the class was unable to be represented officially at the funeral, for knowledge of it was received too late. The Secretary has indicated an expression of our sympathy to Mrs. Garry.
Once again 1914 makes the headlines, this time as an aftermath to the court proceedings arising out of the German Bund meeting held recently in Madison Square Garden. The Bund leader, one Fritz Kuhn, appeared in court and was defended by Vahan (Kelley) Kalenderian. According to the reports in the New York Sun and Tribune it was quite an affair. The two principals with their attorneys formed a quartet of Kuhn, Kalenderian, Goldstein, and Martuscello, and held long and vociferous arguments, and our "Kelley" seems to have been declared the winner on points.
Kelley's pictures were most lifelike, and we shall await further details when we see him at REUNION.
Jack Conners forwards a letter from Leland Spore, who presides over the destinies of the American Crayon Company in Sandusky, Ohio. Jack buys crayons to mark steel and Lee buys steel to make crayons. In addition to the practical economics involved we gathered that everything is going well with the Spores and Lee expects to be in Hanover in June.
Elmer Robinson has achieved a longfelt urge to return with his family to New England, and is now to be found at 4 Lowell Road, Concord, Mass. He stopped in the other day with the good news, and we had a pleasant visit. Elmer is with the Soft-Lite Lens Company, and in Boston he can be contacted care of the Colonial Optical Company, 110 Tremont St. Elmer is certainly tickled to be back in this part of the country and looks forward to renewing his interrupted friendships.
The sympathy of the class is extended to Pauline Burleigh in the loss of her father, Mr. Crafts of Manchester. We understand, too, that John's mother has been quite ill likewise. These past weeks have been very trying indeed for the Burleigh family. New Addresses:
Henry Cole, 3800 Chestnut St., Philadelphia, Pa.
Elwood A. Ballou, 73 Mauney St., Providence, R. I.
Howard E. Bowman, c/o Johns Manville Corp., 180 Bedell Ave., Hempstead, N. Y.
Burt H. Smith, 41 West Short St., Worthington, Ohio.
Paul Brown, 825 Plymouth Bldg., Minneapolis, Minn.
The experiment of class subscription for the ALUMNI MAGAZINE has worked very well. About one hundred and seventy men have subscribed up to the present time, and Jack Conners feels that one hundred and ninety class dues and subscriptions will be secured by the end of the college year. We feel sure that if these twenty missing men will give a moment of reflection, they will readily feel that they have received their money's worth by this time and will send along their check for three dollars to Jack Conners, care of the Stanley Works, Bridgeport, Conn.
Jack's job has been worth while, for it has brought back into the circle many men who had not been heard from for years. Not that they are necessarily typical, but because their subscriptions have been most recently received, in this group might be mentioned P. C. Smith, H. B. Flinn, W. R. Holway, and G. H. Richardson.
We hope that these and the others in Jack's new group will all be with us in Hanover in June.
