1910*
ANOTHER YEAR, and bewhiskered Father Time is scything them of! with increasing rapidity.... a man really ought to live two or three concurrent lifetimes to do 50% of the things he'd like to see through the reels of the years.
About the only answer is to so live that when our string is through, we'll know that we have lived .... which, is our projected Plan of Life.
With so many uncertainties of mind and deed these days, it is always refreshing to have opinions .... and Tenners haven't been a bit amiss in expressing theirs since the famous Bull Leagues of decades ago, some of which were presided over by none less than George Ray Wicker.
Dave Johnson, the Cleveland Sage, wrote not long ago, "I wish that I could be optimistic enough to hazard a guess as to where all this tangled situation is going to end." .... Frank Meleney, our research medico of ability, wrote in part to N. Y.Times in late July, "War is a cancer of the whole world, and it must be treated surgically to effect a cure The crime of the century was America's loss of peace. We utterly neglected our responsibility to establish and maintain the machinery for world order." .... Another Classmate whose name we are not free to mention, wrote, "Our educational institutions are due for radical overhauling as soon as the effects of this war sink into public consciousness. A world that cannot find peaceful prosperity is bound to ask why employment has to be found in destructive preparation."
We'd like to add that human government can be no better than human nature .... and some of that at times is cussedly unpredictable.
PEREGRINATING SCARLETTS .... After Prof. Andy had done his usual good job with the Alumni Fund, he packed Bertha, Marjorie, himself in a plane, flew to Salt Lake City where they reclaimed the family jallopy that had been driven from N. H. to Utah by three students .... started a month's trip through the Grand Tetons, Yellow- stone, Montana, So. Dakota, lowa, Ill., and all points eastward .... highlights were visits with namesakes of Quintus Horatius Flaccus, a famous poet.... Horace B., in Montana, Horace G., in lowa .... one better known as a Dartmouth varsity catcher of yesteryere, the other as No. 1 Chieftain of a tribe that has trekked from Cedar Rapids to Hanover for many moons.
CHAD, relates Andy, is going strong.... managed St. Mary's Chalets in Glacier National Park during August, will teach in Kalispel High School this year. The Hedges are doing O.K. for themselves, too.
ELSE JENNESS promises a good time at dinner night-before-Harvard-Game, University Club, Friday, Oct. 17 ... . mark the date on your calendar.
HERB WOODS has been appointed to the important position of membership on the Defense Mediation Board in Washington, being one of eight members and representing the A. F. of L with him sit seven industrial and employee Big Wigs Ran across Bert Miller and wife in Albany recently where he is known as a "Ticonium" (a new metal) expert; a trade journal said not long ago "Burt Miller did a very fine job .... enthusiastic, sincere, conscientious, and certainly knows his business."
WALTER NORTON goes to the top .... Walter's host of Dartmouth friends will rejoice in his appointment to production manager of all United States Rubber Co. footwear factories in Naugatuck, Mishawaka, Woonsocket and elsewhere
The Naugatuck News says, "Mr. Norton while now out of Naugatuck's rubber picture except from the production stand- point, has earned his reputation as an outstanding U. S. Rubber Co. executive. The marvellous strides made at Williamsport, Pa., under Mr. Norton's factory manager- ship, set a new high for quality and production. This record was used as a foundation for the great strides made by 'U. S.' in the last decade, and the success can be directly attributed to Mr. Norton's interpretation of high type management, quality and production. It is safe to assume that no goal in United States Rubber Co. circles is too high for Mr. Norton" .... the paper said plenty more in its column and a half but nothing done by the U. S. Rubber Co. or printed by any newspaper will reveal anything more about Walter Norton than his Dartmouth friends have known for the last 35 years.
GIVE YOUR TREASURER A BREAK .... Fletch Burton has been appointed to the very important post of Fuel Director for the State of Rhode Island which means responsibility for the coal, gas and oil coming into the state .... it takes a lot of time, and will take more Fletch wanted to resign the Treasurership but that was not in the cards, so he is staying but wants assistance from the entire Class The sooner you pay your dues this year, the less labor he will have to put into follow- ups Let's help him!
HAROLD WINSHIP, Congregational minister at Plainfield, Conn., retrospects: "I always liked to sing in the old Passaic High School whose Principal Arthur D. Arnold '93 steered me to Dartmouth Harmony Morse .... White Church choir, Rollins Chapel choir, Glee Club .... pleasantest of memories during College years .... chorus of If I Were Dean ... .ThePromenaders .... The D.C.A. quartet that sang in the Hospital Sunday afternoons. .... It was my privilege to have several personal talks with President Tucker and 'Pa' Leads. These truly great spiritual and intellectual leaders were so encouraging and helpful to a callow youth that after three years in business I started to prepare for the ministry in June, 1913 I owe much to them."

THE CLASS was tremendously shocked to learn of Phil Forristall's untimely death. ....

Ralph Hedges passed away recently but we have been unable to obtain any details.
