1910*
FRESHMEN SONS. .. .5 more this fall to make a grand total of 86 to date, thus continuing the all-time record for Dartmouth sons from any one class. .. .with more sons to come during the ensuing years, 1910 is quite likely to retain the record until the large classes of the 20o's send their offspring in volume a decade hence.
This year's offering to the College is: Son Father Home Allen, Arthur P. Jr. Art Norwood, Mass. Benjamin, Wallace C. Harold Pipestone, Minn. Jenness, John S. Else Boston, Mass. Warren, Richard H. Julius Newton, Mass. Wolff, Herbert A. Jr. Herb New York City
HORACE EBERLY, United Drug tycoon in St. Louis, who came to us from Hiawatha, Kansas, writes an interesting letter on conditions, Willkie at cet, stating with frankness, "I was about the only one who voted for Landon, my brother Jay Hawker, judging from the results You live up there in a glorious country, can get over and see a few of the games.... and here we are out on the prairies, one thousand miles away, worrying about the drug business. I am anxiously awaiting the first fall issue of the ALUMNI MAGAZINE to get all the dope on the team before I place my usual string of bets. The Cornell gang have been taking me right regularly but I manage to break about even by picking up from the Harvard boys."
LOUIS NISSEN .... for some years we have wanted to see our old friend who lived near us freshman year in that Mushroom of Mushrooms, New Hubbard, and with our gang in the Noyes House sophomore year . .. .but the opportunity never seemed to come.... however, last week in driving from Albany, we passed through Lee, located Louis who seems to be known by everyone in the Berkshires, had a grand visit with him and his charming wife. .. . Louis looks about same, his light hair greyed a bit, has one of those homes you feel comfortable in.... in addition to the Episcopal Mission in Pittsfield, he has St. George's Church in Lee which is of attractive greystone with parish house attached .... when he came there 7 years ago, there was a debt of about $14,000 which has since been paid off, showing that Louis has done a broad job in a fine little community.. his philosophy of life and religion is sound and of the kind anyone in the Class would enjoy discussing... .Louis Nissen was an extremely fine fellow as an undergraduate .... today as the Reverend Louis P. Nissen of St. George's Episcopal Church in Lee, he is just as fine. Stop in some time and see for yourself.
HERB WOLFF who missed the boat for the Reunion Debate at Reunion by prowling into Hanover after midnight, gave a political address, Roosevelt or WillkieV' over WEVD, August 22. .. .how the Hades that guy ever got his thinking so confoundedly twisted is beyond the understanding of this N. H. Yank. .. .he pleads for "Third Term," shadow boxes any thought of "Dictatorship, ""Totalitarianism,""Unbalanced Budgets".... Herb must have taken a shot in the arm for he really gets hot in his closing statement, "Our personal liberty, oureconomic freedom, our entire welfare cansafely be trusted to President Roosevelt'smagnificent and inspiring leadership."
If McClintock, The Great, had been present when "Loupie" uttered his last word, he'd have exclaimed To think poorHerbie once lived in Fayerweather!
HAROLD BENJAMIN and wife are coming east for one of the football games Dud Meredith is with Public Service Commission in Concord, N. H Pineo Jackson heads up Insurance and Banking Division of Newark Community Chest Campaign. ....Nancy Norton won several tennis tournaments during the summer, not having lost a three set match this year young Patsey is coming along, too, having won her summer camp division championship Does anyone ever see "Chuck" Crawford in Milwaukee or Charlie Leavitt who now lives at 346 West 71st St., New York City?
REFUGEE BOYS .... The first responsibilities taken for English refugee boys by anyone in the Class seems to have been done by Larry and Miriam Bankart who have two small English lads, g and 11, brothers from London. The youngsters have fine manners, a distinct English accent, and are unusually well educated, having attended a private school. One contracted chicken pox on the way over...
which is nothing compared to the bombing they were subjected to in London before and during their departure. Their love for their home and parents is a stirring thing to behold. Larry is keeping his hand in football by scouting Harvard as usual for Earl Blaik.
ERNEST STEPHENS .... from a Lynn newspaper came this item, "That Lynn is fortutunate in having a man of such calibre as Ernest Stephens for the important position 0£ deputy superintendent of schools is the conclusion of those who have looked into the city's educational system. He came here jn igi6 as head of the history department at English High but only served a year when he left his teaching duties to enlist in the U. S. service during the World War. After his discharge he was named secretary of the school committee and later was acting superintendent. He was the unanimous choice of the school board for deputy superintendent." It was nice to read all of this about Ernest who has been doing a good job in Lynn and who, according to those who have called on him, likes to take time off for Dartmouth "Beefing" with his friends.
PINEO JACKSON must have taken a recent course in Penmanship for his Illegible Scrawl has now become reasonably Legible Handwriting. .. .however, we doubt if he ever wins any Chirographic Awards.... he'll have to use a typewriter to keep up with young "Peanuts" who is a couple of jumps ahead of his O. M. most of the time.
THE MACPHERSONS are a Busy Clan Jim commutes from Framingham to Bangor to N. Y Louise keeps the home on solid foundation Bob runs the Bangor News Bud is doing second-year graduate work at Harvard for his Master's and Doctor's degrees while Sis is at Simmons Graduate School of Social Work for her M.S.

Y. dramatic critic, was on crutches awhile ago, our Correspondent not stating whether a ham actor was the cause Joe Downey's business address is 33 Battery March St., Boston Jim Porter's daughter was married in Sept., Jim now being a retired Cigarman who lives in Cambridge, Maryland.
JACK TOBIN and classmates, Jack Devor, Lee Grace, Ben Joy, all of D. O. C., spent the summer skiing in Chile.... in the Chilean Championships they won the next four places to the winner, a Chilean expert.
GEORGE AND MRS. ALLEN drove to Chicago this summer.... took train to Greeley, Colorado, for a family visit with George's SlSter Dick Hursh, the Kingsport Press expert who sells books by the qarload, or maybe trainload, we never knew which for he sells so many of them, is getting ready for his annual Florida visit when he mops UP the local Miami boys on the golf course.
CAESAR" YOUNG who is the third generation of the linen-importing Youngs still carries on, and gives us an idea of British naval strength in the following, "Thank God, I'm in the Irish Linen Business instead of the Continental. The Continent is gone but the North of Ireland continues to make and ship linen. Prices are pretty high but since the war started we have had 48 shipments and lost only one. That was on the S. S. Volendam which was sunk around September 1. You will recall that refugee children were rescued from it."
NEWS. .. .The supply is low. .. .the need is great.
