1908
From A. E. ROTCH, Hanover
Jack Lewis, Harvard polo ace, has strengthened the Cambridge team this spring. Jack is the son of Arthur L. Lewis, and returned to his studies and polo at Harvard after a long illness.
Francis Asbury Robinson of Des Moines has been spending part of the spring in Hanover. Robbie's job has been the considerable one of trying to get the Bema into condition for Commencement exercises. Our classmate, you remember, is a landscape architect and with Bremer Pond '07 laid out Tuck Drive and other beauty spots about Hanover. The Bema, College Park, and most of the surrounding territory was devastated by the hurricane last September, and will never look the same again in this generation. Wisely and luckily the College followed Robbie's advice a dozen years ago and established a nursery for evergreen trees in the east part of town. Now the trees from the nursery are the right size for transplanting into the Park and Bema, and other places on College property where they are most needed.
Harold "Home Run" Hobart was a Hanover visitor in May. He has been on a year's vacation, spending most of the time at his old home in Nashua. June 1 he will return to work for his former employer, the Vermont Marble Company, in Proctor, Vt.
Arthur Wyman of Boston and Swampscott is regularly spending the week-ends at his estate (farm to you) in Ponemah, N. H. One Saturday night in May he missed connections in some manner, and instead of being met at the station by one of his Packards he had to walk and thumb his way 11 miles from the end of the rail line to the farm, arriving just as the family and guests finished off the last of the Saturday night supper.
John Glaze, freshman son of our beloved classmate, is playing in the College band.
Dr. and Classmate Francis G. Blake is seldom heard from directly, but his name is frequently in the papers. He is Sterling professor of Medicine at Yale, along with other positions of distinction, and recently was in the news because of his successful use of new treatment for pneumonia.
Congratulations are in order for Bob Marsden. On April 10 his engagement to Miss Helen Churchill of Montpelier, Vt., was announced by Mr. and Mrs. John Churchill of Brandon, Vt. Miss Churchill is a graduate of Mary Fletcher School of Nursing and Simmons College. For several years she has been secretary of the Vermont state board of registration for nurses, and for three years she has been health supervisor of public schools in Montpelier. Several classmates were privileged to meet Miss Churchill last fall, when Bob brought her to a football game in Hanover. He has been in charge of P.W.A. construction work in northern New Hampshire, and recently transferred to Townshend, Vt., where he will supervise building projects. The wedding will take place during the summer.
Stan Snow, son of 'OB Hal Snow, scored Dartmouth's only win in the tennis match May 9 with Miami University's team, recognized as the outstanding college tennis team of the country. Dartmouth had previously won all its meets, including the one with Harvard. It was the first time Dartmouth had beaten the Harvard racketmen since 193 a. The younger Snow was also a regular on the championship hockey team last winter.
May 15 Miss Margaret O'Shea was married at Laconia to Cruger Harold of Atlanta, Ga. Mr. Harold is now in business in New York City. The bride, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur D. O'Shea, is a graduate in 1937 of New Rochelle College.
John Hinman's shiny automobile with P. Q. plates showed up in Hanover early in May. John wasn't in it; if he had been your class reporter might not have had the chance to buy a milkshake for Mrs. John at one of Hanover's ice cream emporiums and in return get an invitation to visit the Hinman family in Montreal, sometime. Mrs. Hinman was accompanied by a niece, who will come to the States to school next fall. She reported John as fully recovered from his illness of last winter, and very busy looking after the Canadian ffairs of International Paper Company, of which he is vice president in charge of timberlands.
Tried to locate Queech Safford in Springfield, Vt., one May Sunday afternoon. He was out fishing. Report is that rearmament activity at home and abroad, mostly abroad, has one good feature. It makes business good for the Lovejoy company, of which Queech is the big boss.
