1911*
Here's to Bert Shurtleff, a loyal son of Dartmouth who died at his home in New Bedford in December.
Our good classmate has just sent to Treasurer D. L. Hawkridge his check for dues accompanied by a slip saying "New Year Resolution No. 1." Maybe this is an idea which it would be well to pass on to the members of the Class, as it is extremely desirable to continue the plan of sending the MAGAZINE to all members of the Class. It is a fact, however, that this does require dues, as this is the only source of Class income.
The following item from the LowellCourier Citizen of January 5, will be of interest to all:
"Announcement was made last night that signal honors had been bestowed upon two prominent Lowell men, Walter B. Reilly and Joseph E. Sullivan, by His Holiness, Pope Pius XII, in their appointment as Knights of Malta, the most distinguished and highest honor that can be conferred upon Catholic laymen by the Holy Father.
"In recognition of their appointments, Messrs. Reilly and Sullivan were guests of honor last night at induction ceremonies of the Association of Master Knights of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta in the United States at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, New York City. Attending the impressive ceremonies were many church dignitaries and prominent laymen from all parts of the country, as well as representatives of several foreign countries.
"Arrangements for the induction ceremonies were in the charge of a committee composed of George Mac Donald, Cornelius F. Kelley and John J. Raskob. The program included dinner with all lay participants in full dress, followed by the ceremonies of induction.
"The extent of the honor thus given the two Lowell men is evident in the fact that including those inducted into the association last evening there are only 82 Knights of Malta among the 21,000,000 Roman Catholics in the United States.
"Among those who were received into the association in New York last night, standing in line between the two Lowell men in the alphabetical arrangement of the group honored, was Alfred E. Smith, former governor of New York and once candidate for the presidency of the United States."
Ray Nead's friends will be pleased to learn that Mrs. Nead is greatly improved in health and that she and Ray have just returned from a wonderful trip to Florida.
The youngsters are growing up, as evidenced by the following recent announcements of engagements: Dick Cooper and Miss Elizabeth Hall Wentworth of Somersworth, N. H. Miss Wentworth is a graduate of the University of New Hampshire.
Jim Mathes Jr. to Miss Mary C. Chapman of Plandome, L. I. Miss Chapman attended Buckley Country Day School, graduated from Mrs. Dow's School in Briarcliff Manor, and studied for two years at Connecticut College for Women.
Chet Emerson and Mary Loring of Natick, Mass. Mary is just finishing her training as a graduate nurse in one of the Boston hospitals. Chet is now operating the ski department in the Sherwin-Williams Super Paint Store in Springfield, Mass. Incidentally, this ski store in a paint shop is entirely Chet's idea and he has been authorized by the Company to develop a model ski shop in this store with the expectation that another year it will be extended into other stores of the Company.
A Christmas card from the Rollie Hastings gives this much news: We have movedto California and are working like beaversto fix up our ranch for a guest ranch—it'sin the Santa Cruz mountains and a beautiful spot. It is the Rancho Amayo and the address is Route 2, Box 231, Los Gatos, California. It is hoped more news will be available by the next issue.
In Chicago a Christmas tea party was given by Ben and Alice Stout in honor of Edward Everett Horton, noted stage, radio and motion picture star. The party rated nearly a full column in a Chicago paper, where Mr. Horton was starring in Springtime for Henry. Alice writes that she and Ben wished all of Ben's classmates could have been there to help them entertain a real movie celebrity.
The Log Jacksons have shut up the Apple Farm in New Boston, N. H., for the winter and gone back to 3 Lewis Road, Winchester, Mass.
Apologies to Jack for making use of a personal letter, but I am sure all will be interested in Jack Ingersoll's news of himself: After two years of not feeling so good,I finally accepted an invitation to spend afew weeks on the ranch of my doctor inFort Davis, Texas. Riding the ranch out inthe sun and an altitude of 1000 feet startedme back to better health. So, on November1 I returned to Cleveland and accepted aposition with the Lake City Malleable Co.I am already feeling much better and amenjoying the work very much. Have seenBob Keeler and am going to take in theDartmouth luncheons. Marion and thetwo younger children, Marion and JackJr., are in Concord. Jane is in Hancock,Mich., practicing physiotherapy for crippled children. I'll be seeing you in 1941. Jack is living at the Hotel Regent and his business address is 5000 Lakeside Ave.
Charles Forbes has been transferred to Port-au-Prince, Haiti, where he is a mission priest.
The latest word from Clarence Holden is that he is now Far Eastern Manager of Stanco, Inc., and Daggett & Ramsdell. He may be reached c/o Jardine Matheson & Co., Ltd., Shanghai, China.
Occasionally, Jack Marks' name appears in print referring to something that he did as a football player or later as coach at Notre Dame, the most recent being the following remark passed on by Tom Meany in his "Frothy Facts."
"Notre Dame's famous 'T' formation was introduced there by J. H. Marks of Dartmouth who coached the Irish for one season around 1910."
But speaking of Jack he is still reported to be in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Who knows anything to the contrary?
The following is submitted by John Coggins. Maybe you can do something about it.
"Al heeler is right about that grandchild stuff. I am now working on my thirty-second nephew, one year old, young Pete Stevenson, you know one of the Pennsylvania, Notre Dame and Ohio State —Stevensons. His mother went to Penn. His other uncles to Army, Notre Dame and Fordham, and his cousin is headed for Yale. Trying him out for rhythm, I find that the Dartmouth or any other songs get nothing out of him; but the 'Old Gridiron King' of Harvard starts him going places. The more you poke him in the breadbasket, the louder he gurgles. In a head-on smash with even me and my 203 in avoirdupois, it is I who have to look out or I may get bitten. We feed him that ration that Eddie Anderson gives his Missouri eleven between the halves. So you see, we are still on the alert lest the old traditions fail."
