1916*
Devoe; Herb Dingwall; Carl John Eskeline, of Tientsin, China; Art Eastman' Charlie Jones; Pike Tenniser Larmon; Ros "Tax Expert" Magill; Ed "Ozite" KileyEd "General Motors" Riley; Freddie Smith; Ken "House Beautiful" Stowelland Beans Sully, the Vestryman. It was a grand party. Perc and Ken deserve a lot of credit for getting out the gang. Prexy Johnny Pell was due at the dinner but was snowbound. Johnny did attend the Cleveland dinner and sat with Carl Mecca Holmes and Ruby "Redheaded" McFalls. Then Johnny hied himself back to Akron, where he stayed with Bill McKenzie. Young Bill McKenzie, standing 6' 1", weighing 170 lbs., a champion swimmer in the 50 and 220 yard dashes, hopes to enter Dartmouth next September. Johnny saw Cap Palmer in Akron just before Cap left for a month in Florida. Then, while in New York, he ran into Esky—and another reunion resulted.
On February 29th, six Balmacaaners sat down together at the Annual Philadelphia Dartmouth Dinner. Pete Cleaves, the banker; Bob Burlen, star of stage, screen and radio; Cliff Gammons, from Wilmington, Delaware, who keeps Hercules Power on its even legal keel; Irving Wolff, radio inventor; Phil Nordell, novelist and historian; and good old Roger Flagg Evans, who does everything and does it well, were present. Reg Chutter planned but couldn't make the dinner.
A Wah Whoo Wah for Irving Wolff, who was one of the ten men receiving an award for work in radio development from the Modern Pioneers of America, at their big dinner, held in Philadelphia, February 16 th.
And a Wah Whoo Wah for Jesse K. Fenno, Chairman of Governor Vanderbilt's Rhode Island Aviation Commission. The Providence Sunday Journal devoted an entire page to Jesse and his Autogiro, the flying windmill. Jesse has been a real pioneer in aviation and particularly with the autogiro. Mrs. Jesse also carries a pilot's license.
Freddie Bailey, school committeeman of Dedham, Mass. and salesman for Dodge Textile Co. (aprons and lingerie, I believe), while on a trip to Chicago, stayed overnight at a relative's home in Kenilworth, Illinois. Just as he was leaving the next morning, Freddie discovered that Dewitt Stillman lived but two houses up the street.
Ernie Earley '18 gave me a fine picture of Leonard Wakefield Joy in action. Ernie writes: "The other day I visited the genial, tanned, attractive gray-haired Bones Joy, and had a most interesting time. Bones whisked me into the studio where a dozen men were preparing records, adjusting microphones, watching a million dials, outnumbering those on a giant bomber, and an orchestra of thirty pieces who were awaiting the baton of 1916's Tschaikowsky. The first, second and third recordings didn't suit the Maestro, and after several full-throated instructions, the fourth brought the accolade 'That's a honey,' thus furnishing a perfect reproduction for you music lovers." Thanks, Ernie—we would all love to see the Maestro in action.
If Alec Jardine had a son in Dartmouth, we would have to change his address to Hanover. For the teenth time this year, Alec, Estelle, and Janet have visited Marion at William & Mary at Williamsburg, Va. Alec's excuse is that William & Mary is just like Dartmouth. This trip, the Jardines ran into Professor John Stearns and wife and daughter, Mary, who are entour by railroad throughout the South and West. John is on sabbatical leave, that he had planned to spend in Greece, but along came the war. Gran Fuller just told me that the Dartmouth Club of Wellesley had just elected Alec as their next President. Maybe he will stay in Wellesley for a while.
Joe Newmark was to attend the North Shore Dartmouth Club party this week, but no details are available.
The Life Underwriters of New Hampshire have selected Frank Tucker Bobst, partner in John Hancock's biggest agency, to be their guest speaker at their annual meeting late in March. The address ought to be good. I'll have the full details from my New Hampshire friends next issue.
Believe it or not, Ed Gumbart is going to stop in one place. Bethlehem Steel has at last taken its traveling troubadour and made him manager o£ sales in the Cincinnati district with headquarters in the Union Trust Building. I hear about Ed from Balmacaaners all over the country but seldom from him. Hobie Marble is now General Agent for the Massachusetts Accident Company in Worcester. Dr. Cecil "Red" Tucker is now located in Rui Doso, New Mexico. Roly Wass has a new address at 515 East Myrtle Street, Independence, Kansas. Russ Perkins* is practicing law in Altadena, California. Clarence Peterson is with Valentine & Company, 1500 South Western Avenue, Denver, Colorado. Now that Ben Moxon is married, he picked him a very fine home at 807 Maple Street, Manchester, New Hampshire. Bill Costello has been found at 25 Prospect Place, New York City.
We can all make Pete Cleaves and his hard-working gang very happy if we will respond at once when the Alumni Fund starts this spring. Just suppose you had their job—.
