1919*

Here's a "MUST" date for every '19er who will be in the New York area the week-end of the Princeton Game. The Classes of '16, '17, '18 and '19 are having dinner together at the New York Dartmouth Club, go E. 37th St., on Friday evening, Nov. Bth. There will be an oldfashioned football smoker after dinner for all Dartmouth Alumni.

From the Dartmouth News Service, I have learned that Ora Morse Huntoon was married on Sept. 7th to Ann Elizabeth Whittaker, daughter of Mrs. Mable Whittaker o£ Schenectady, N. Y., in the Congregational Church, Boston. He is Manager of Mutual Casualty Insurance Cos. She is a graduate nurse, attended Mass. State, Hartford College and the University of Calif. They are living at Maple Road, Auburndale, Mass.

A recent letter from Si Stein, Muscatine, lowa, includes the following: "Simon G. Stein, IV. belongs to the Class of 1944. He graduated from Exeter last June. There were sons of my former schoolmates in Exeter with him and no doubt it will be so at Hanover. The 'l9 News last Spring informed me I had started the 'Nineteeners Father-in-Law Club.' Possibly there are other members. In a few years, there should be many involuntary joiners. May they all be as pleased as I am with my new son."

Mark Thompson, who has a son in the present Sophomore Class writes: "Warren has returned to school and seems to like it fine. According to his accounts of various occurrences on the campus and my memory of what happened in the fading past, I m somewhat inclined to believe Dartmouth has not undergone any radical changes. Probably such changes as have taken place have been improvements. I exPect to be in Hanover some time during the present year and shall see you either coming or going."

Clark Ingraham, another Sophomore father, saying farewell to the East for a while. Here it is: "I expect to be at the game on the igth and to leave for Calif, a few days afterward. We've had a marvesummer in Newburyport and have fallen in love with the place. Went to see your old school play Gloucester (and get beaten) last week and cheered myself hoarse for the home team. I wish Dartmouth had as good a stadium as the dear old WPA built for them. I think there were at least 6000 at the game under flood lights. The whole town was out. The kid seems pretty well set up at Hanover, so must get back to the Coast and to work."

The Willkie Campaign is keeping Spider so busy, I haven't had a word out of him for weeks. Dick Strout, Washington correspondent of the CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR, covered Willkie at his Elwood speech and at Rushville, and covered FDR when he announced the destroyernaval base deal on a rapidly moving special train beside the muddy Kanawha.

Dick Dudensing has changed both his job and home address. His new company is Seggerman Nixon Corp., 111 Eighth Ave., N. Y. C., and he is associated with that concern as Special Representative of New England Distillers, Inc. of Clinton, Mass. His new home address is 6 Meadway Road, Bronxville, N. Y.

Jack Keating still lives in Bridgeport, Conn, but spends considerable time in New York City on real estate operations. Jack was in New Hampshire for a week in early September and spent several hours browsing around Hanover.

Tom Bresnahan spent the month of August seeing the U. S. and upon his return wrote me this very interesting letter: "Just back from an 8500 mile trip with the family to the coast. In San Francisco I received your letter through the office and sorry to report the only person I looked up was Fred McCrea with whom I had luncheon. Fred is a big shot advertising man, Vice President of McCann Erickson, and in full charge of spending the million plus dollars for the advertising campaign of Del Monte products. Had a pleasant visit and he reported Charlie Biddle had spent a few days with him at his San Mateo home en route from Osaka, Japan. I gather from that that Charlie is now here on a short vacation. The Yankees were staying at our hotel in Cleveland, so my 14 year old son got a great kick out of dining with Red Rolfe. The Yankees were down in sth place that night but after our pep talk, went out and won about 23 games. Red was enthusiastic about a report a day or two before from Harry Ellinger that football prospects for next Fall were much better than people believe. We covered the Black Hills, Badlands, Yellowstone, Yosemite, San Francisco World's Fair, Pebble Beach, Grand Canyon, Los Angeles, Hollywood, and saw a few floor covering factories en route."

W. D. Hoard Jr. from Fort Atkinson, Wis., referred to the Class Directory in this way: "When your directory arrived, I immediately went through its pages and as I noticed the names of different individuals, many pleasant memories passed through my mind. I know every member of the class will appreciate this Directory. You and the others who helped assemble the information certainly deserve a lot of credit."

Stubby Stoughton, Raleigh, N. C., also refers to the Directory, saying in part: "I'm glad to have it because from time to time I do have an opportunity to contact some of the boys in the South." You fellows in the South should follow him up on his threat to see you.

Sewall Sawyer wrote in from his home in Bay Village, Ohio, a suburb of Cleveland, that his business phone is Woodbine 6100 and he will welcome calls from classmates when in Cleveland.

Jim Pelletier makes this timely suggestion regarding the Class Fund: "Wrote Spider the other day and suggested they make an appeal to each member of the class to donate a little extra for the next 4 years so the fund would be of substantial size by our 25th. Think it better to have each man contribute something extra over 4 years than try to collect it all in one year insofar as they give to the alumni fund anyway. The writer increased his contribution slightly and hopes to be able to continue to do so."

Another letter came in from Bob Bard of Nashville, Tenn. He has been with Monroe Calculating Machine Cos. since Jan. 1934 with only one interruption—a trip to Europe in 1930. Has been located in Nashville since 1933.

Here's some news about Fred Daley, taken from his recent letter: "I have a boy, Fred Jr., who is all lined up for Hanover this Fall. Graduated from Cheshire Academy, where he has done a good job in both curricular and extra-curricular activities. As you will see from this letterhead, I'm still sticking to the sponge rubber business which seems to be going along quite satisfactorily. (Fred is President of Sponge Rubber Products Cos., Derby, Conn.) I've been quite active in the local community. At present have two jobs—one as president of the local Community Chest which I helped organize 3 years ago; the other, as president of the golf club. Have also served my time as president of the local board of trade."

Bill Carto was in New York this Spring and lunched with Spider. Subsequently he wrote me. Bill is gen'l traffic manager of Chesapeake & Potomac Telephone Cos. of W. Va., with headquarters at Charleston. Has two daughters, 16 and 13.

One of the most interesting letters came from George Davis at Horse Cave, Ky. who gives this information regarding his career thus far: "Married in 1925 at the end of interneship and just when starting in practice. Three children, the oldest a boy of 14 who would be entering college in '43, and may still be—but he is now disabled by a rheumatic heart disease and has been in bed since April. (This letter was written in early July.) We expect him to get around a little in another month—he's George B. Jr. The second child is Connie, 121/9, a freshman in high school; the third, Billy, 10, "is in the grades. After practicing general medicine for 14 years—l92s-1939—1 have taken up public health work. From 1937 to 1939, I studied part time at Yale Medical School in the Dept. of Public Health, and in 1939 left Conn, and came to Kentucky as substitute health officer of Barren County, living in Glasgow. This June was appointed health officer of Hart County and now live in Horse Cave. (Not in the cave, it's a town, and the only town by that name in the U. S.) Yale finally gave me a degree of M.P. H. (Master of Public Health) in June this year. I don't belong to any lodges, public health officials don't meddle in politics, of course, and my social efforts have been confined to neighborhood bridge and duffer's golf up to last year, when they ceased entirely. I have kept up a commission in the Naval Reserve since 1928 and taken annual training duty which has had its interesting features. This June I took an exam for promotion to Lt. Commander. No results so far, but I never flunked an exam yet."
