1926*
Without question, one of the most welcome letters we have received in some time arrived recently from the one and only inimitable Hillman O. ("Flash" to you) Fallon. We quote:
"For some strange reason, I was suddenly stricken with an overwhelming desire to write to you in the vain hope that there might be some in the group of readers who) might wonder what became of me. I can't quite figure out why I thought so but the excuse is as convenient as any.l might find.
"For the past ten years, I have been servlng this community as athletic director, coach of football and teacher. I hasten to say that by 'the community' I mean Sanford, Maine. The above is my home address (Main Street, Springvale, Maine) in one of two villages which make up a town of 16,000. If by any chance you wear Palm Beach clothes, it is in this town and this °nly that the cloth is woven. I am not so heavily laden with currency that retirewent is close at hand by the date of our Fifteenth but Mrs. Fallon and I have manned to make things fairly comfortable for our two sons, aged eleven and three.
"It looks at the present writing as if I'm secure here for another year, at least. My team this past season was adjudged to be co-champion with Lewiston of this, the State of Maine. At the conclusion of the season, my tenth, my boys all banded together and tendered me a testimonial. Several times during the course of the evening, my face reddened but I doubt that I shall ever feel more truly appreciative. Late in January, the sports enthusiasts of the town banqueted and presented gold footballs to my squad. One of the speakers was to have been one Dr. Andrew J. Oberlander, now highly regarded resident physician at the University of New Hampshire, in Durham, but the big Swede crossed me up by coming down with an attack of some 'itis' or other and it was 'Fallon for Oberlander.' That should be some kind of a record.
"I am not writing advertising copy for Maine's Chamber of Commerce but Anne and I should break an arm or two in extending a welcome to any who might come to the greatest region in which to spend a summer vacation to be found anywhere in the world. The old boy has slowed down a bit since those hectic, somewhat foolish (as I look back at them now) college days but our welcome would be genuine. Further, I might be induced to toast the College once or twice.
"I should say, before closing, that we enjoy reading the Dartmouth ALUMNI MAGAZINE each month and that I am all for that 100% plan. You're doing a great job, boy, keep it up! Keep urging the boys to get back to Hanover for the Fifteenth and we'll make it the best ever held. Some years ago, I found myself about at the end of a rope and, believe it or not, a short time spent there made me a new man.* "See you at the Fifteenth in 1941,
'FLASH.' "
* We hope he means Hanover.
It's great to hear from you, Flash, and your cordial invitation will probably be accepted soon by some of our wandering tribe who find themselves in the vicinity of Sanford.
The Sabbath, February 25th, was ceremoniously desecrated by a battle royal in Davis Hockey Rink between the "Flying Faculty Sextet" and an Alumni contingent of "Half-Minute Men." After three regular periods and one overtime of cracked skulls and bruised shins, the score stood 4-4. Prominent in this heathen carnage were three '26ers. "Doug" Everett and "Schuss" Cleary for the Thirty-second boys and Secretary S. Chandler Hayward for the cloistered clan of puck pushers. Doug was responsible for three and Cleary for one of the four goals scored by the Alumni. Slippery Sid who, it is rumored, was the roughest stick on the ice, scored one of the faculty goals on a solo dash unique in the annals of Dartmouth hockey. Sykes Hardy '27 sustained the loss of one of his bicuspids. Hayward denies responsibility.
The foregoing was witnessed by the Don Norstrands, the Hal Marshalls and the Bob Carrs who were in Hanover for Alumni Carnival.
The Albany Knickerbocker News of February 2nd carried a double column picture and news story of Pren Carnell receiving the Junior Chamber of Commerce award for distinguished service. The picture shows Pren accepting the key to the city as the Chamber president says,—"We pay honor to one to whom honor is justly due. The need today is for men—men with strong and skillful hands—men with bright and generous minds—men with tender and understanding hearts. Such a man is the recipient."... .A wah-hoo-wah for Carnell!
You have probably all noticed the very attractive Mrs. Borden appearing in advertisements for Camel cigarettes. This charming lady is the wife of our Gail of Chicago Times fame.
Larry Kennison, who is professor of Mathematics at Brooklyn College, recently sent a very newsy letter reporting on several '26ers seen recently while soliciting for the Phi Beta Defense Fund (we didn't know they needed a defense) "Ed Miller who has a fine job with Snyder & Black, lithographers and who is the proud father of a boy nine and a girl six Max Whitman who lives at 1299 Sterling Place, Brooklyn, with his fine family and practices law in New York Ralph Upham, who is still a bachelor and living in Hopedale, Mass., where he is in charge of some apartment houses for a real estate firm. ...." Larry reports on his own family as follows: "Frederick Kennison was born October 7, 1938 and now weighs over 30 pounds and stands 32 inches tall. His vocabulary is about fifteen words with 'clock' the most frequently used. I have the honor of having my wife as one of my students in a graduate class."
As a closing note, it is impossible to resist the temptation to quote the following received from Baker Library:
"The management and treatment of afflictions of the facial nerve within the fallopian canal has been reprinted in Fasc. 6 of Acta Oto-Laryngologica. Otitis media and its extensions, has been reprinted from the Jan. issue of the Bulletin of the New York Academy of Medicine. Both of these items are written by Edmund P. Fowler Jr. '26."
