1916*

Here I am again with a flock of notes about classmates from whom we seldom hear. It is a delight to record their doings. Here's to Parker Burt starting his 21st year at Wyoming Seminary, Kingston, Pa. Parker may be teaching at Wyoming but three fine boys in the class of '43 attest his art as a Dartmouth salesman.

Professor Karl Shedd of Mary Baldwin College, Staunton, Virginia is taking this semester off—to make a good will tour among the Mary Baldwin Alumnae, throughout the East and South. Mary Baldwin celebrates its centennial in 1942 and is inaugurating a building program. Karl wants Hi McLellan down in Tyler, Texas to be on the lookout for a visitor. Karl has a daughter in Madison College, Harrisburg, Virginia, and a son who is a high school freshman, preparing for Dart- mouth.

Ed Lindman, the Math shark still has charge of the Mathematics Department at Canterbury School, New Milford, Connecticut, and during the summer, is Dean of Studies at Camp Marionfield, Chesham, New Hampshire.

Mil Streeter of Brooklyn made a trip recently to Charlottesville, Virginia and met Phil Lewis and wife. I wish Mil had swung across to Richmond for a visit with Fred Richie at 5114 New Kent Road, and could tell us how Fred is looking after all these years.

Hap Ward may be living in Olean, New York but he reminds me that Olean is the home of five Dartmouth graduates and three undergrads. It's a small town, butthere are those that love her.

Cliff Herold, out in Battle Creek, Michigan has just moved to a new address, 70 Sherman Road, and hopes sixteeners may find the way to his door. Our good-will steel ambassador and salesman, Hugo Gumbart, visited Cliff a short time ago. Cliff's two sons Lonny 5 years, and Billy 21/2 yrs., are preparing for Dartmouth.

Phil Nordell is now living at 6425 Wayne Ave., Philadelphia, Phil visited New Bedford the past summer and just missed seeing Park Hayden.

On Franksgiving Alec Jardine flew down to Williamsburg, Va. to visit with Marion, who is a freshman at Williams Sc Mary. Alec took Marion and three of her lovely classmates to lunch and a football game. Alec thought he was in Hanover for the band played Dartmouth's in TownAgain.

The Cuban Fiscal System, 1939, a study made at the request of the Secretary of the Treasury, by Roswell Magill and Carl Shoup, has just appeared, and is reviewed in this issue.

Jim Harrington is still living in Bethlehem, New Hampshire. I wish you would break away one of these days, Jim, and visit us in Boston.

A note from Eskie and Lucille, just arrived in America, states they will visit Winter Carnival, so we in the East are sure to see them. Bob Bartlett is living at 3436-Both Street, Jackson Heights, Long Island. I wonder if Bob remembers the time Eskie and I held up his mail for three days when we roomed in 42 Fayer, and then showed him the batch of mail in chapel as Ben Marshall was saying the prayer. If it wasn't for Mensel, Shorty Hitchcock, Pete Soutar and Chick Pudrith, I wouldn't be alive to tell about it today.

Ollie Barr from Norwood, Mass writes, Family consists of the old man (still in fairrepair but getting more bald each year)the wife (same one) and two sons, theolder boy Jim, a sophomore at Dartmouth,and George, a junior, at Loomis School,Windsor, Connecticut.

Ollie claims, the real need of the class, is more authors, for Ollie is with the Norwood Press and needs the business.

Chick and Helen Clarke are now living at 57 Avenue de Vimy, Outrement, Quebec, Canada. Helen does all the writing for the family.

Bill Hale and family are back in Shanghai. Bill is with the Underwriters Bank on the Bund in Shanghai.

As the years go by, I just wonder if George Kreider out in Springfield, 111., and Jim Colton in Sutton, Mass., are as pink cheeked and youthful looking or have the passing years aged their faces.

Here's courage for you. Herb Lord started in at law school when he was forty, graduated, passed the bar, hung out his shingle as an attorney-at-law in Lawrence, Mass., and is making a living at it.

Sioux City, lowa, boasts of two sixteen- ers, J. Watt Wooldridge and Larry David- son; with the biggest corn crop in history, business should be good and there should be some news for us besides the lowa football team. How about some news for us men?

John Boyle McAuliffe is still checking up on taxes unpaid, in the Worcester, Mass., Internal Revenue Office. John Boyle thinks we had a real freshman foot ball team this year. We saw them in action against the Holy Cross and Boston College freshmen, whom we defeated.

Chet Drury is living at 24 Clark Avenue, Wyoming, Ohio. Charlie Gammons is working hard as usual with Atlas Powder down in Wilmington, Del., but takes time out for Dartmouth get-togethers and to interview prospective candidates for admission to the freshman class. Horace Fishback is presidenting the bank in Brookings, S. D., as well as singing basso profundo in the church choir.

As the plane towing signs over the football games this fall in Boston and Providence appeared on the horizon, I waved to the pilot, for I knew it was Jess Fenno. I never did hear whether the 1938 hurricane wrecked the Fenno home at Barrington, R. I. Won't Boston Balmacaan ever see you again face-to-face? Cliff Bean, Sam Cutler, Howdy Parker, Bob Steinert would like to take you on for a game of HighLow-Jack.

Shirley Harvey is teaching at Harvard and lives at 367 Orchard Street, Belmont. Pike Larmon has forsaken Massachusetts and is now living at 210-04 28th Avenue, Bayside, Long Island, N. Y.

The New Hampshire State Contract Bridge champion—"Believe it or not" Mcquestion is in danger of losing his hard won laurels, for he just squeezed by the preliminary rounds. Now Gene, for the sake of old Chi Phi and Balmacaan, bring back the bacon again this year. No news from the Nashua delegation, Bob Brown, Ralph Parker and Jim Coffin. Young Jim Coffin beat the tar out of the base drum this year in the Dartmouth Band. Dr. Charlie Parsons has his office at 33 Pleasant St., Concord, N. H. and promises us a visit at a future Balmacaan party. Dr. John P. Goodrich is practicing medicine at 214 Main Street, Waterville, Maine. The Sullys are miles apart. Spence is living at 209 Loring Avenue, West Los An- geles, California, and Wilberforce has his law office at go Broad Street, N. Y. C. Have the New York Mohammedans made any further calls on you Wil? Some years ago, New York igi6ers had a dinner and then decided to call on all those who failed to attend. However, the gang were numbered in their calls, for they demanded a Scotch and soda at each stop. After all, there is an end to the number of calls one can make under these circumstances.

It's great to know these notes will be read by the entire class. Just as you like to read news of your classmates, just so do your classmates like news of you. Q. E. D. Please write me.

A happy, healthy, and prosperous 1940 to you all.

Secretary, 37 Maple St., Stoneham, Mass.
