A seat at Tat Badger's right isn't the best place in the world in a poker game, but the luck of the draw in Harvard game ticket allotments put your reporter there during that happy afternoon in Cambridge and with Bert Beckett on our right it all enhanced the enjoyment of that windy day. Bert, keen analyst of football, announced right after the Harvard failure to get the point after their first period touchdown that Dartmouth would win 7 to 6. Bert lives in Cambridge, but we still think he's clairvoyant. From Tat we learned that he travels extensively and not long ago he and Alice were in Sou America where they saw "General" Knox, who is reported to be in the United States this fall though we haven't confirmed that rumor. Tat also has seen Larry Griswold and a few others of the class. Along With his pocketfull of membership cards he now has a pretty certificate of membership in the Admirals' Club. This, he explains, is an honor conferred by the air transport companies on a few celebrities and patrons who have flown a million (more or less) miles and permits him to sit in a special upholstered chair at LaGuardia Field while waiting for the next ship to Washington, Miami, or Lisbon.

John and Jennie Hinman were Hanover visitors in October, and saw a football game at Kimball Union academy where Dick Hinman plays end. He will enter Dartmouth next fall. Crawford Hinman, Dartmouth '37, is a senior at Harvard Medical school.

Joseph L. (Kid) Richardson has a new address, 621 S. Hope St., Los Angeles, Calif.

Don Comstock was a New York visitor in November, called on a few classmates. He was pretty nearly put out of play in the marble business when the depression threw a hard block on him, but is now in the investment business and specializing in insurance stocks. Doing well, by all reports.

Sandy Stearns, that's Mike's younger son, is at the Harvard school of business administration, for a post graduate course. He recently returned from a tour of duty in the Canal Zone as a member of the Naval Reserve. Kendall Stearns is completing his medical studies. Mike reports that his 2-year-old granddaughter can't understand why she is unable to run backward as fast as she can forward. Neither can we, Mike could, when he played end for Dartmouth.

Larry Treadway had a fine trip to the Pacific Coast late this summer, which he summarizes briefly as follows:

"My son David and I had a wonderful trip to the Pacific Coast, attending the American Hotel Association annual convention at Seattle. We were entertained for dinner by Sam Barnes ('07) and his wife and met a number of younger Dartmouth men. When we arrived at Los Angeles we were met by Dick Merrill and Jim Norton. We had a very pleasant week with them, including a trip to El Centro where we found Chick Currier. That evening we went over the border to Mexicali and had a real reunion. Chick is a prince of an entertainer and full of enthusiasm. Next day we went an down to Ensenada for some deep sea fishing and surf bathing.

I hadn't reported on this trip to you because Dick Merrill assured me that he would write up the story and send it to you."

Art Soule entertained Johnnie Glaze and his sister Mary, a freshman at Wellesey for the Thanksgiving holiday. Art's daughter Mollie was a guest of John Glaze at the Hanover houseparty in mid-October

12 Arthur Turner Soule Jr., Dartmouth '3B and son of Mr. and Mrs. Art Soule of Waban, Mass., was married in the Madison Avenue Presbyterian church in New York city to Miss Barbara Noble Hutton, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert L. Hutton of New York City. Sisters of the bridegroom, Misses Mollie and Frances Soule, were bridesmaids, and one of the ushers was Dr. Kendall Stearns of South Orange, N. J. The younger Art Soule is in the oil business. With his bride he attended the Harvard football game in Cambridge, and from there went to their new home at Orr's Mills, Cornwall, N. Y.

Classmates report seeing a son of the late Fred Morawski '09, who this fall came to the States from South America and is attending a school in Brookline, Mass., and hoping to enter Dartmouth next year.

No reply at the deadline from Howard Cowee, Worcester attorney. We asked him for confirmation or denial of several reports that have sifted through the veil of silence in regard to his own successes this year, also about the recent marriage of his daughter Barbara.

Secretary, 115 Broadway, New York, N. Y. Treasurer, Taftville, Conn.
