1912*
At the Annual Dartmouth Alumni Dinner at Hotel Commodore, New York on February 15, 1912 turned out the biggest crowd the Class has had in New York for many a year. Doc O'Connor was host at a cocktail party before the dinner, and some of those who came to the cocktail party were unable to remain for the dinner because of prior engagements. Doc, Harrie Chase and Dick Remsen sat at the head table with the guest of honor, and the following were present: Unc Bellows, Randy Burns, Harrie Chase, Nelson Doe, Hugh Eaton, Jim Erwin, Al Eiseman, Dick Foote, Alvie Garcia, Charlie Gately, Garry Garrison, Boss Geller, Fred P. Goodrich, Irv Goss, Wallie Jones, Doc O'Connor, Andy Phelps, Dick Plumer, Dick Remsen, Carle Rollins, Les Snow, Jimmie Steen, Clif Sugatt, Chief Wheeler, Lee White, Doc Worcester, and Heinie Urion. Boss Geller was combining business with pleasure, and Lee White spent the day digging his Connecticut farm out of the winter's biggest blizzard, so as to get to town in time for the cocktail party. Harrie Chase, Judge of the Circuit Court of the United States for the Second District, had a big time meeting his old classmate Doc Worcester, and Doc supplied us with the information that the Judge's freshman nickname was "Chesty." The announcement by Bill Knibbs, toastmaster, of the nomination of Les Snow as a member of the Alumni Council from this District, received a big hand led by 1912. The Dartmouth Club of northern New Jersey has also placed his name in nomination.
Mark Allen writes from the Excise Tax Division of the Tax Commission of the State of Washington, Seattle District, of coincidences that have brought 191 a to mind. One of them was a call on the telephone from Mrs. Ben Adams who was visiting Seattle for a day or two with her son, who is an officer in the Navy and engaged to a Seattle girl. Another was a visit from Alvie Garcia's western representative with a nice box of Garcia y Vegas. The last was a dream that he was in Boston, and Eddie Luitwieler took him out to see Trudie and the twins. It was to be their igth birthday, and he was expecting them home from college, one from a Catholic Men's College in Spokane, and the other from a Presbyterian college in Walla Walla, Washington. As they are both girls, you can see that Mark was dreaming.
A welcome note from John Brewster at Forty Fort, Pennsylvania, contains a clipping with the news that he has been promoted from the rank of Major to that of Lieutenant Colonel in the U. S. Engineers' Reserve Corps. Colonel Brewster was commissioned a First Lieutenant in the Engineers' Reserve Corps in May 1917, and was assigned to the 304 th Engineers of the 79th Division at Camp Meade, where he was promoted to the rank of Captain on December 31, 1917 After special duty in . France at Army schools, he served with the 304 th Engi- neers in the Argonne, and while on duty there was cited in orders, and later awarded the Silver Star Medal for the accomplish- ment of engineering work necessary for the advance. He has always retained his in- terest in the military establishment. As he is a descendant of officers at Bunker Hill, it seems to run in the blood. John's wife Ethelin is a good sport, and stands for it. John has seen considerable service on ac- tive duty with engineer troops at various army posts, and especially at Fort Belvoir. Virginia. He is a graduate of the Command and General Staff Extension Course, and is an expert pistol shot. John Jr. is Dart- mouth '42.

They report the pleasure of a visit from Art Burnham last summer, and send regards and greetings to all the Class Irv Goss' son, Richard H., is Dartmouth '42, and is on the skating team, in the Glee Club, and out for the track team.
The Secretary has a fine long letter from John Holden of Westford, Vermont. He says that the only members of the Class he has had any contact with for many years, have been Lowd and Hunt. Lowd spends his summers on Lake Champlain a few miles from Westford, and they see much of each other. John came to Westford in May, 1936, and preaches to a federation of Baptist, Congregational and Methodist groups in a distinctly rural field of early Vermont stock and of some French-Canadian recent arrivals. His period of residence has been delightful. Last June he participated as speaker in the first joint conference of Congregationalists, Baptists and Methodists at Barre, Vermont, in a panel discussion on the rural church. John's oldest daughter Elizabeth, graduated from St. Lawrence University in 1936, where, in addition to Liberal Arts work, she did special work in the Theological School and received a diploma as Director of Religious Education. She then served in the Universalist Church at Maiden, Massachusetts. On August 28, 1937, she married Russell F. Baker of Boston, and they have since resided at 48 Boylston Street, Cambridge, Massachusetts. Elizabeth has served as Director of Religious Education at Weston, Massachusetts, and is now with the Unitarian Society at Wellesley Hills, Massachusetts. John's daughter Katharine, aged 21, is a Senior at Syracuse University, where she is president of the International Relations Club, and heads the Social Science organizations of the College. She has been elected to the National Honorary Society in Education Phi Lambda Theta, and a member of the Senior Honorary Society, this last being on the basis of Campus Activity and Scholarship.
