1906*

Grandfather David J. Main of Denver is anticipating crooning over the cradle of his granddaughter recently born at Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts, to his daughter, Mrs. Henry W. Keyes, nee Betty Louise Main.

One of the reasons for the unusual success of the annual dinner of the Dartmouth Alumni Association: of Boston, which was held Friday, April 13, was the gracious presiding of President Walter Powers. Trustee Ned French was properly placed at the speakers' table, while our class was represented in the audience by Charlie Main, Cliff Perry and Randall Cook.

Henry Thrall, assisted by Jimmy Vaughan '05, had a delightful time entertaining Eric Kelly during his visit to Minneapolis recently.

Eric has been outdoing Bob Ingersoll, Bill Bryan and even Franklin D. in the number of speeches he has been making over the nation. He spoke fourteen times in three days in the three cities of Chicago, Minneapolis and Saginaw. While in Chicago he spoke to schools, library associations, a convention of the Association for the Advancement of American Childhood, a business man's conference, the Arts Club, the Polish Roman Catholic Union, and a dinner given by students of journalism. He also spent an afternoon in Marshall Field and Company's bookstore autographing copies of his nationally known books. Eric left a fine impression on the thousands of people who heard and met him during his stay in Chicago and he will be even more welcome the next time he comes here.

Once more the class has suffered a serious loss in the death of Robert Carpenter, who passed away at his home in Cleveland, Ohio, on May 4. Bob had been feeling well because only a few days before he and his wife had spent a very pleasant evening with Ivan Greenwood and his family. However, he contracted pneumonia and failed to rally. The heartfelt sympathy of the class goes out to his family.

After over two years of effort we have finally been able to persuade Ned Redman to accept the position of Class Secretary. This news will be very welcome to every member of the class and particularly to those who know of his enthusiastic, as well as unselfish devotion to the college. Before appointing Ned to fill out the unexpired term of Francis Childs we consulted with almost every member of the class and virtually every one suggested that he was the proper man. However, when first approached on the subject, he was not in a position to accept it, but now he is the new manager of the Dartmouth Club of New York so that he is in a splendid position to handle this important job in a most satisfactory manner. The class should be congratulated on being able to have for its Secretary a man so devoted to its interests. You may help Ned make the 1906 notes interesting and newsy by sending him items of interest at the Dartmouth Club of New York, 30 East 37th Street, New York, New York.
