1927
Here it is already June 1, which means the last issue of the MAGAZINE until next October and a slight respite for your stumbling columnist. More important, however, is the fact that it means there are only approximately thirty days left in the current Alumni Fund campaign. Not much time to get that contribution in if you haven't already done so.
Rumors from New York inform us that Al Chabot has recently returned from a few weeks of golf and tennis at Southern Pines.
Al Lagacy writes that he is still doing all right, has one wife, two daughters, and is having a difficult time keeping his weight down. He says that Ed Ruth and family are near neighbors of his, that Don O'Hara, Ed Marston, and Bunny Smith are in the Worth Street Market, and that he also sees Ned Dwyer, Hooker Horton, and Roie Herwitz quite often.
Joe Hardin writes that they have a nice group of Dartmouth men, though small, in their local alumni association in Pittsburgh, and that the only '27 men he knows and sees in Pittsburgh are George Morcroft, who is a lawyer, and Ted Selig, who is working at the Mellon Institute.
Chuck Baker, who is the judge of the Municipal Court of Painesville, Ohio, writes that he had lunch with Bob Tucker in Columbus in January and that Bob is now with Firestone.
John Machen, 1927's only representative in Baltimore, recently heeded our plea for more and better Winchells with a much appreciated letter. John graduated from Georgetown Medical School in 1933, and left his original home in Washington, D. C., to intern in Baltimore. He has remained there to do general practice. Although he states that general practitioners don't get many vacations, John says, "We have been fortunate enough to be able to sneak off to the last four Princeton games. Last fall made Ithaca and the Cornell game as well. On these brief excursions I usually meet up with a few of the classmates. Seems like I never fail to see Monty Phillips at the Princeton game." On August 18 last,* John and his wife, Irene, became the proud parents of a daughter, Barbara Anne.
From the old whaling town of New Bedford, Charlie Gibson writes: "The Gibsons' news is Meredith Ann, born November 13, 1938. That makes two girls. Guess I'll have to dress them up in green. I do not see many '27 boys. Seth Besse is in town quite frequently. He still is winning all the golf trophies down in these parts. There are quite a few Dartmouth men in town, but none from the mighty class of 1927." Charlie is still working for Kendall Mills, textile manufacturers.

"Mr. Smith was graduated from Dartmouth College in 1927 after attending public schools in Exeter and graduating from Exeter High School.
