1919*

Here are some dates for the Fall: (1) Amherst game at Hanover, Oct. 4th. I will be at the Inn that week-end holding open house after the game.

(2) Harvard game at Cambridge, Oct. 18. The usual doings at University Club Friday night and luncheon Saturday noon. You can get more specific details about both gatherings from Jim Davis or Rock Hayes.

(3) Yale game at New Haven, Oct. 25. Immediately after the game, everyone desiring to talk things over, let traffic thin out a bit and get fortified for the drive home, is invited to stop at Race Brook Country Club, Orange, Conn. Race Brook is on the main road from the Bowl to Derby and is in the general direction of New York.

(4) Princeton game at Princeton, Nov. 8. Friday evening, Nov. 7, Class Dinner and Football Smoker at Dartmouth Club, New York.

Since the last report, I attended the Secretaries' Meeting in Hanover where I saw Larmon, McCarter (Bill gave us an interesting talk on the athletic affairs of the college and promised even better seats this Fall), and Rowland Pollard.

Rowland was home on furlough from Rangoon, Burma. Has taken a house in Newton, Mass., where his wife and 3 children will stay. He returned to Burma late this summer for another 2½ years. On their passage over last Spring, their boat was within about 12 hours' sailing time of the ZamZarn when the latter was sunk.

The mail bag is accountable for the following: Chas. H, Warner, with R.F.C., says he has been travelling quite a bit for the last few years and has enjoyed seeing Gene Neely at Dallas and Karl Baldwin in San Francisco.

Bob Roland is Exec. Sec'y of Society of American Florist with headquarters at Stevens Hotel, Chicago. One part of his job is the staging of the National Flower Show in March. The one last winter was in Seattle and while there he had to go to Portland where he had an opportunity to talk on the phone with Jack Ross who had just built and moved into a new house.

Larry McCutcheon was in Hanover in May showing his youngster the Campus. Said it was a real treat to see the college again and spoke particularly of enjoying a conversation with Max Norton and Spider Martin. Larry is with Frigidaire at Dayton, O.

Red Washburn like most of us fathers is both pleased and surprised at the talents of his children. He says "Patsy just presented me with an A in Latin and everything else B for her first year's effort at New Trier High. And Bobby, just finishing 4th grade in our progressive Winnetka school where all they seem to do is play games and go on picnics, is from all appearances to become another Lefty Grove. I can no longer stop his fast ball with anything less than a catcher's mitt or a pillow."

Fred Blanpied spent his entire 3 weeks' vacation at Lake Morey looking for Norma in preparation for the 25th Reunion. At the end of his persistent search, "he still hadn't found her. If you know where she is, please tell him.

Roy Beaman, Plymouth, Mass., is commissioned in the Mass. State Guard and was at camp for a week this summer brushing up on military technique. His son is very enthusiastic about Dartmouth and in his Freshman year got a 3.4 average.

Will I. Levy, Asst. to President of Allied Stores Corp., has accepted a request by the War Dept. to become Executive Officer of the newly organized Army Exchange Service in Washington, which will operate all Post Exchanges throughout the U. S. Army. Post Exchanges are the Army stores that sell necessities not supplied by the Gov't and merchandise not procurable from nearby retailers to soldiers and officers and their families residing at military posts and cantonments. There are several hundred principal Exchanges and over 1000 branch units. Their growing volume is currently estimated at the rate of over $150,000,000 a year.

From personal observation and conversation, I can assure you of the good health of a number of the Class. Wm. C. Forbes is with New Bedford Rayon Co., New Bedford, Mass. For several years he was Research Fellow at Lehigh University and while there received his Ph.D. in Chemistry.

Bryan Powell is in the paper business in New York, Vice Pres. of Stephen A. Powell & Co. He has 5 daughters and I think this is a Class record. Do you know anyone who tops it?

Stew Wark has a place 4 miles south of Woodstock, Vt., and spends his week-ends there. Is Exec. Vice Pres. of Bermingham, Castleman & Pierce, Advertising Agency, New York.

Jack Cannell is with J. H. Goddard & Co., Investments, 85 Devonshire St., Boston. Labor Day morning I spent about two hours with him at his home in Kittery Point, Me. This Fall he will coach the Kittery High School team. Jack has 3 daughters and a son. Young Jack, the oldest, is in the National Guard and for the past several months has been at Camp Edwards. His two younger daughters are in High School. The oldest finished last Spring.

State College), John Vliet, Francis Allen, Fred Daley, Ken Gilchrist, Harris Chadwell (still in Washington with National Defense Research Com.), the Spider Martins, the Jim Davises, Newm Sleeper, Louis Apteker, Ray Adams, Max Huntoon (recently returned from his South American trip), Bill Picken Jr. (Bill 3d is in his last year at Clark School), Hal Parsons (spent his vacation cruising on the Sound, going as far as Nantucket.
