1920*

Just talked with Eddie Bowen to see if he had any contributions for the month but as it was the day after Election nothing was forthcoming. So here goes:

Did you notice the 'so sons listed in the last issue? For fear you didn't here they are: 1941 Father William P. Durkee 3rd Port Clayton T. Koelb Ralph 1942 R. Post Eddy Ran

1944 Henry P. Allen Perc Edw. A. Mortimer Jr. Don McKay Charles T. Glines Tom

A swell letter from Tommy Thomson is full of news. I don't see when he found time to write because in addition to his track and cross-country coaching at Annapolis he is doing the photographic work for the football team, both still and motion. Those of you who read the Saturday Evening Post article, "Cornell Goes to the Movies" will realize what an important project this has become. He is also writing a history of track at the Academy and working on a new track instruction book.

Both of Tommy's girls are in college. Mary started at William and Mary this fall and Barbara in Southern Seminary. He reports seeing Sal Andretta occasionally and regrets not having been able to be with us last Spring; "Enjoyed the pictures very much but had a hard time doping out some of those fat and bald-headed guys. Anyone have a better print than the one in the MAG?" Here's a chance to do Tommy a good turn by sending him some of the pictures taken at Reunion.

Paul Kay says his two daughters, 10 and 15, look and act like candidates for the field hockey and tree climbing teams at some girls' college. Paul has been with the Metropolitan Insurance Company for eighteen years having roamed the country for several of them trying to teach others something about the life insurance business. Fortunately, he has stayed put for the past couple of years at Port Chester, N. Y.

Len Davis writes "Have been back in Chicago from Baltimore since the first of the year. Tink Lombard has recently been transferred here as Comptroller's Representative. We work at our golf games regularly together." Len and Tink are both with the Western Electric Co.

Lyon Southworth pens the following statistics: "Have been in the Chemistry Dept. at Harvard since 1938 after a sixyear sojourn at the University of Virginia. Have built a house in Lexington and hope to stay there awhile. One child, David, 13."

Here's the model wife—"Warren (Turner) is on a 5 weeks' business trip for the A. T. & T. Co. He goes to Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Portland and Denver. In the meantime, I'll pay his bill." Tom Carpenter wasn't at Reunion because

he had just begun a practice as income tax consultant under the name of Campbell, Carpenter and Kerr.

You'll remember that Bun Harvey after five years as Class Agent asked to be relieved of his duties and his resignation was accepted with reluctance. His successor will be Al Frey, past master at Alumni Funding. Al is taking on a lot of work which will be greatly lessened if each of us give the proper cooperation.

Keene, N. H. has lost one of its foremost citizens. Jim Robertson has assumed the managership of the Ardee Cleansers & Launderers, Inc. in Pawtucket, R. I. He and Mary are living at 74 Grotto Ave., Providence. The best of luck to one of our most enthusiastic classmates.

Did you know that: Dr. Spence Snedecor is a member of the New Jersey Health and Welfare Committee, appointed by the Governor. Dean Travis is Asst. V. P. of the Manufacturers Trust Co., N. Y. C.—Ted Nichols is Chemist for the W. D. Wilson Printing Ink Co., Long Island City, N. Y. Ralph Bradley's new address is Hilton Vil- lage, Conn.—Dick Goddard is a committee member of the American Defense Dartmouth Group.

Buttons Hill was married in Montpelier, Vt., Oct. 23 to Eva B. Stebbin of Clare- mont. Buttons is Vermont Manager of Southgate & Co. of Boston and is with reserve army aviation. He is a member of the Rotary, Apollo and Elks Clubs of Montpelier and was past exalted ruler of the latter organization.

When you have an opportunity examine Chrysler's new convertible coupe known as the Thunderbolt, keeping in mind that it was designed by our Ralph Roberts in collaboration with the Chrysler engineers. Among its very distinctive features are: low broad hood, a steel top which completely disappears at the touch of a button, an automatic push button controls the raising and lowering of the window glasses, headlights have retractable lids and the doors open at the touch of a button. A newspaper article Al Cate sent in describing this super-super says that, "Mr. Roberts' work has influenced motor car design all over the world."

MERRY CHRISTMAS

1920 ELECTION NEWS ITEM

The election of Republicans is news in a Democratic year so it will be encouraging to supporters of the GOP to learn that Hibb Richter '20 was one of the three representatives from Brookline sent to the Massachusetts lower house by the Nov. 5th returns. Hibb is the second 1920 man to be in legislature from the Bay State—Cy Rounseville, the Fall River Fire Chief having been there several years before. Oddly enough Hibb succeeds to the seat of another Brookline Dartmouth man, Phil Bowker '23 who resigned to run for Congress.

Secretary, 158 State St., Albany, N. Y.

Treasurer, 33 Edgehill Road, Arlington, Mass.
