1921*
Monday, April 22, was the date. Before six o'clock, men from 1920-1921-1922 began converging from far and near upon Manhattan's Dartmouth Club for their joint dinner. With Doug Storer in the chair as master of ceremonies, a grand evening was had by all. Doug was personally responsible for the presence of the guest of honor, Dale Carnegie (ace exponent of the art of making friends, at cetera) who gave a most convincing demonstration of his art. Also on the roster of entertainers was Eddie Earle '17, who did his stuff on the piano; Ross McKenney, woodsman adviser to the Outing Club, and Carl Newton '20, who has lost none of his cunning as a prestidigitator with the passing of the years. Movies were shown. Publicity for the dinner was ably handled by Kip Orr '22 Prize for coming the greatest distance was awarded without dissenting vote to Sherry Baketel '20, on from Philly, but he was hard pressed for honors by Andy Marshall, capable Secretary of '22, who drove in from Bethlehem, and by Howie Ransom, down from New Haven. During the proceedings, a telegram of regards and regrets was received from Howie Heath, in Trenton, and read aloud.
. . . .On deck were these faces from '2l— didn't cop any attendance prize this time, so statistics are soft-pedaled—Howie Anger, Bill Barber, Paul Belknap, Her- rick Brown, Coot Carder, Tommy Griffith, Gos Halsey, Cliff Hart, Bord Helmer, Ort Hicks, Jack Hubbell, Rex King, Bandy Lowe, Ed Luedke, Hugh McKay, Skinny Moore, Bill Owen, Ed Pullen, Howie Ransom, Charley Stickney, Doug Storer, Bill Terry, Leighton Tracy, Carlton Van Cleve, Ernie Wilcox.
Personal paragraphs picked up at the dinner Howie Ransom, demon title searcher for the real estate law firm of Clark, Hall & Peck, is active on a committee developing greater activity of Dartmouth men in the New Haven sector (where he says competition from Yale affairs must continually be contended with). ....Tommy Griffith is an executive applying his ingenuity to merchandising promotion problems of the J. C. Penney Co., at headquarters in Manhattan; commutes daily from Hohokus, N. J Rex King is enjoying renewed vitality as the result of a three weeks' vacation in Florida; this has become an annual fixture for March on the King family calendar Bill Barber continues to direct the operations of myriad representatives of Connecticut General Life Insurance Co., from 225 Broadway, Manhattan Hugh McKay has a son headed Hanover-ward in a few short years; is a good student and exhibits talent along artistic lines Ed Luedke is a Major (or is it Lt.-Col., Ed?) in the Reserve Army and struts his stuff annually at maneuvers in Atlantic City; reads the cables from European capitals with more than passing interest Doug Storer is planning a broadcast for Bob Ripley from the floor of the Grand Canyon of the Colorado; on a recent survey trip out there stopped in Chicago and had a grand visit with Bill Embree Paul Belknap is traveling a great deal, to all four corners of the country, in the interests of his newspaper brokerage business Bill Terry is a tower of strength in the advertising set-up of RED BOOK magazine.
HOLSTEIN-FRIESIAN WORLD for February 3 had an extended article about R. DeWitt ("Fat") Mallary, prominent Springfield, Mass., attorney, owner of Mallary Farms, Fairlee, Vt., and now the recipient of considerable publicity because of his Holstein cattle and scientific farming operations in Vermont. When College opened last fall, Ray began supplying it, under contract, with 800 to 1000 quarts of milk daily, "so the success of the Dartmouth football team may be attributed, in part at least, to Mallary Farms Holstein milk," says the publication. Ray has acquired a reputation not only as a milk producer, but also as a breeder of fine cattle Cape Payson describes his occupation in one sentence: "I have been shuttling between Attleboro and Florida—putting out an orange grove there, and fixing up apartments here, in an endeavor to keep one jump ahead of the tax collector.". .. .Rog Wilde reports that early in April, while in Detroit to attend a hospital show put on by the J. L. Hudson department store featuring Simmons Hospital Furniture (advt.) he had a nice visit with Ky Frost, Hudson merchandising executive, "who was looking fit as a fiddle and as though he had just come out of the sun from the golf course—which was probably the case, as he recently flew back from Daytona Beach." Rog's report was postmarked Los Angeles a few days subsequent to the show in Detroit, with the result that he appears to be laying siege to the title of Champion '21 Globe Trotter, distinction held alternately in the past by Jack Hubbell and Ort Hicks.
Bob Elsasser has been elected President of the Dartmouth Alumni Club of Louisiana, recently formed in New Orleans As this is written, the annual meeting of the Secretaries Association in Hanover looms a week ahead. On the program will be Don Mix, Secretary of the Dartmouth Club of Worcester, scheduled to preside at a luncheon meeting of club and association secretaries in the Hanover Inn Ski Hut. We can already report, in advance, that he did a simply swell job Wade Werden has taken up residence at 34 West 10th St., Manhattan, according to our operatives, who to date, however, have failed in all efforts to secure a more comprehensive report on Wade's activities On the letterhead of the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission, Bureau of Accounts (bearing appropriate seal of the Commonwealth) comes a blast from Fred Benton. He has moved to a place in the country, four miles from Carlisle and 22 miles from his office in Harrisburg, next door to a farm, where Johnny can take care of horses and cattle with no responsibility to his father. Fred says the place is almost surrounded by fair-sized mountains, with Yellow Breeches Creek, one of the best trout streams in the region, running by the front. The family consists of Mary Joanne, 13, and young Johnny, fast approaching 9. Fred hopes to take the boy to Hanover this summer and interest him in Dartmouth. The only '221er Fred's seen recently is Nels Smith, with whom he spent some time last summer in N. H.
Cory Litchard, speaking in behalf of the firm of Litchard & Cook (Cory & Hank, to you) asserts that "As far as news goes, I think our '21 group in Springfield and locality has reached the stage of the settled-down period. There are no births, deaths, renewals, or newcomers to the group. A further indication that this settled complacency must be spreading through the entire class is the decreasing number of visits we have from '21ers in circulation about the country. I believe that while we used to have the pleasure of entertaining several 'aiers a year, it has been almost 12 months since we have been visited by anyone."... .Which is a fine state of affairs. You fellows who get to Springfield snap out of'it and drop in to see Cory Litchard and Hank Cook, will y0u?....1n a roundabout way we have word of George Harris. It is reported that George gets to Hanover regularly twice a year, on business, and usually takes his family on vacation to Lake Bomoseen, not far from Rutland and only two hours from Hanover Paul Sanderson, the eminent medico, has moved his home to 205 Colony Road, Longmeadow, Mass. .... Rock Grundman now contacts the postman at 11 go Morse Ave., Chicago. ... .Carleton McMackin has a new address at "Trailsend," Canton, Conn. Our operatives are at work currently on the case Connie Keyes has joined the Pittsburghers, stating that mail should be addressed to him at 424 Stratton Lane. No other details.
Ort Flicks and his nine capable assistants on the Fund committee would like to hear from you. This is written early in May, when the initial mailing piece of the campaign has just gone forth from Hanover; by the time you read these notes, we'll be going into the home stretch. Let's all get behind our hard-working Class Agents and put '21 once more at the head of the younger classes, the enviable position we occupied two years ago!. .. .Take it away, George:
THE SPIRIT OF '21
