1916

Old times and customs have changed, giving way to the new. This first item of news may come as a shock to Balmacaaners, but because it represents such a big change, it must be recorded. We, who remember the real he-man aspects of good old Phi Sigma Kappa, with her Doyles, Joys, Beans, Salmonsens, Motts, Holbrooks, and Huntresses, can scarcely believe this evidence of change. Witness this invitation just received from Hanover. "We think you will be interested in a Clavi Lux Recital in Webster Hall, presented by the Art Institute of Light, under the sponsorship of Phi Sigma Kappa." It wouldn't be such a shock coming from the aesthetes in the Phi-Doodle, Phi Gam, Theta Delta, or Deke houses, but coming from poor Phi-Sig, it's a blow.

Southwest Business, January 1939 issue, carries a very learned and well-written article on "Cotton Consumption" by Charles K. Everett, manager New Uses Section, Cotton-Textile Institute, Inc. Chuck, the old Boston Globe scribe, can still sling the ink.

The Electrical World, February 25, 1939, issue, carries the story of Boston Edison's big L Street Station, by Lewis P. Gove. This is one of the biggest pipe-welding installations ever made. You can't hide your light under a basket forever, Louie, for I know you supervised the entire job.

Did you note in the March issue of the ALUMNI MAGAZINE the six Balmacaaners who grace Who's Who in America: Eugene Parker Chase, professor of government, Lafayette College; Alexander Dean, associate professor play productions, Yale University; George B. Howell, banker, Tampa, Fla.; Roswell F. Magill, undersecretary of the U. S. Treasury; Whitley P. McCoy, professor of law, University of Alabama; and Kenneth K. Stowell, editor House Beautiful. Balmacaan is proud of you.

I don't see how Lucille Cutler stands it, for this time Samuel Ernest Cutler took her to Cuba for some deep-sea fishing, instead of to New Brunswick for salmon and trout. While in Havana they held a reunion with Chuck Durgin. It was great to receive their joint note written during the said reunion.

Mrs. Lapierre tells me that Emery has worked so hard that he has gone on a cruise to the West Indies, for a rest.

I am very sorry to record the death of Gil Tapley's father on March 1. Mr. Tapley was a frequent visitor to Hanover during our undergraduate days and a great friend to us all.

The men in the class must read the column, for when Max Bernhopf moved into his new suite of offices, 735 Tremont Building, 73 Tremont St., Boston, he put Ozite under all his rugs. Good luck to you, Max. I do want Ozite Kiley to know, however, it's the force of advertising that made that sale. I tried to tell him just that during the half-hour he allotted me during his recent trip to Boston, but he wouldn't believe me.

The First Division A.E.F. has not missed a year since its return from France in having an annual reunion. The moving spirit that has kept the memories alive and the annual parties going, has been one John Lincoln Ames Jr. (Phil Stackpole, this is really his name), their secretary. Gran Fuller is also a member of the First. John has captured a French general for his party this year, so a good time should be had on March 11 in New York City.

Prexy Johnny Pell comes through with some news this month. Johnny and Gladys attended the Dartmouth Club of New Haven party, and joined with Fletch and Marge Andrews. Afterward they watched Dartmouth trim Yale in basketball.

It's no wonder Fletch and Marge are still young. Johnny wrote me this young pair had just returned from the Winter Carnival, where they chaperoned a house party. Fletch has rented Alec Dean's house in Hamden, Conn. Alec has been quite ill, and is at the Phillips House, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston.

Donnie Doenecke, building contractor tycoon, at 66 Court St., Brooklyn, has just come through with a newsy letter on the New York Mohammedans. Donnie sees Bill Costello, who is living in Tudor Towers, quite frequently. Herb Dingwall is making the Dartmouth Club in New York a worthwhile meeting place for men in New York.

Talk about your proud fathers, Donnie tells me his little ten-months-old son, Justus Drew Doenecke, has learned the first part of the short Dartmouth yell—Da-Da- Da. That's the way to bring them up, Donnie.

People think very little of distances these days—Heinie and Ruth George think nothing of hopping in the car, driving to Hanover for dinner with Cliff and Peg Bean, making a foursome at the Dartmouth-Princeton game, and driving back to Concord after the game. What's 150 miles in their young life!

I wonder if tycoons ever write letters. For example, the General Electric tycoon, one Jack Curtin, gray-haired bachelor of Schenectady, N. Y. Then there is big Monsanto's vice president and chemistry tycoon, Dan Dinsmoor of Webster Groves, Mo. Let's not forget the coal baron of Charleston, W. Va.-one Edward Dana Knight. All those who attended Balmacaan's first party at Lake Morey know Ed can walk on roofs, even if he can't write.

If the legal light of Stamford, Max Spelke, last seen ducking out of Radio City on New Year's Eve, if Henry Stieglitz, Metropolitan Insurance Company's Long Island City superintendent, Cap Mason of Kansas City, Mo., or Martin Gates Linihan of Buffalo, N. Y., would write me, I'd have news. Just suppose some of you men try me out with a letter.

You will remember some time ago, I told you that when Dick Parkhurst was visiting his son John at a Maine summer camp, Dick discovered that John's best buddy was Bobby Burlen Jr. Here is another one for the book. Donald Eskeline, son of Cully Eskeline in far-away China, and Dan Leavitt, younger son of Les Leavitt from Beirut, Syria, will enter the freshman class at Vermont Academy this September. And so it will be carried on, into the second generation, the friendships that were builded and fostered on Hanover Plain.
