1911*
The Colgate Game found a large number of the class in Hanover, as does the big fall game in Hanover each year. John Pearson, chief dispatcher of news from Hanover, reported the following in attendance: Hopper Allison, Jack Crooks, Brothers Eaton—Fred and Sarg, Jim Conroy, Cap Caproni, Warren Agry, Chet Butts, Jack Learoyd, George Morris, Les Hawkridge, Bob Kimball, Ed Poole, Ted O'Leary, Jim Mathes, Carl Stucklen, Satan Sanderson, Chub Sterling, Walt Reilly, and the class baby, Banker Dave Hedges. This varied assortment of men and wives constitutes a continually reunioning group, as 1911 has always seemed to do. Some arrived at the last moment sans tickets and sans sleeping places, but eventually were all tucked away in the Inn, a place known as Gates Hotel, at White River Junction, and various classmates' homes and overnight camps. One of these above-named gentlemen was even accused of not sleeping anywhere. Can anyone pick him out?
This was followed on the next week-end by the pre-Harvard Game Joint Dinner with 19l0, at the University Club in Boston. According to all reports, this was a highly successful experiment. Both 1910 and 1911 are in agreement that the arrangement should be continued hereafter. It is even reported that 1909 has petitioned to join up next year. The official list, as compiled by Chet Butts, Chief Arranger, and Ex-Treasurer Les Hawkridge runs something as follows: Beane, Briggs, Butts, Josh Clarke, Clute, Crooks, Elwell, Harvey, Hawkridge, Macomber, Mayo, Spim Morris, Warren Patten, Paul, Pendleton, Putman, Dick Stevens, Snow, Stucklen, Whelden.
The Secretary was not able to make the party, but did manage to get to the game the next afternoon. Of the two events, he apparently attended the less successful one.
The grandfather's group has been taking in new members. The last two to be reported are Chub Sterling and Warren Agry. The granddaughter of the Agry family may be announced as Betsy Warren Berson, and she is going to live in Nashville, Tennessee.
By the time this is published, Cap Hedges will have officiated at the following Big-Ten Football Games this fall: October 4—Ohio State-Southern Califor- nia, at Los Angeles October 11—Illinois at Minnesota October 18—Indiana at Nebraska October 25—Indiana at Wisconsin November I—Northwestern at Minne- sota November B—lowa at Illinois November 15—Purdue at Wisconsin November 22—Illinois at Northwestern
Word comes from Boston Cooking School Magazine that Mike Hill has returned to Connecticut, and is now living on Concord Road, Sudbury, Massachusetts.
Treasurer Keeler reported that bills for class dues went out on September 25, and that by October 15, checks had been received from forty-one classmates, which is surely a pretty prompt response for at least forty-one men. Ed adds that it seems that nineteen-eleveners around Chicago are getting scarcer and scarcer. However, seen on the street occasionally are George Leach and Ben Stout.
A few slight changes in addresses have appeared: The name of John Bartlett's firm in Niagara Falls is the Hooker Electrochemical Co. Incidentally, that name had a familiar sound as a request came across the Secretary's desk in Washington recently, looking for a priority. Apparently, even members of 1911 need those things occasionally. Professor Stanley W. Rockwood is still at Arkansas College, living at Batesville, Arkansas. Col. Russell B. Patterson is at Headquarters of the Second Army, 76 Court Avenue, Memphis, Tennessee.
Having known that Bill Gordon had been quite ill, it was refreshing to have heard from Chet Butts that Bill had been visiting his sister in Fitzwilliam, N. H., and that he is now pretty well recovered following a major operation in May.
Butts also referred to the Pearsons living in the former home of President Lord, or Administration Building or both, asking whether this is progress or what.
Chub Pease writes under the address of U. S. B. R., Redding, California: "The above is my new address. Have been here three months now, working on the Central Valley Project, especially on a transmission line from the Shasta Power Plant to S. F. Bay region. I don't know how long this job will take but quite a while. Regards to you and the rest of my friends in Hanover."
. Sam Aronowitz, Albany lawyer, has recently been elected president of the Federation of Bar Associations of the Third Judicial District.
Frank Dodge closed his hotel on the week-end of October 18, after a very successful season.
Sam Pickering, 4 Hopkins Street, Nashua, N. H., said that he is still trying to corral the nickels and dimes at the Red and Gold Gift Shoppe. They keep open Saturday afternoon and evening, so apparently it interferes with football game attendance.
Howard Parlin, 40 Coolidge Avenue, Needham, Massachusetts, sends in word that his son, Dick, is a freshman at Worcester Tech this year.
Aubrey B. Butler states that the only nineteen-elevener he has seen all summer was Ralph Blanchard, Professor at Columbia, who was on his way to Berkshire Festival from his summer home in Plympton, Massachusetts.
Dr. Phil McQuesten takes over as the Executive Head of the hospital operations, as a result of his recent election as Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Memorial Hospital, Nashua.
Because many questions have been asked, and for the sake of the record, the particular job which the Class Secretary has in Washington is as Chief of the Industrial and Office Machinery Branch, of Office of Production Management. He is living at the University Club and tries to make Hanover once in a while. One advantage of his job is that he sees more Dartmouth men even than in Hanover. Wash ington seems to be the place where they all flock these days. Besides the regular residents of the city, there has been a tremendous influx of Dartmouth alumni, giving up their jobs to join in some phase of the National Defense Program. Others are more or less regular visitors trying to straighten out difficulties in connection with their businesses. It has been a pleasure to have many of them drop in to his office, either on business or for a cordial "hello."
Hugh Kenworthy, able and efficient purchasing agent of The Lukens Steel Company, frequently has business next door.
One interesting bit of information that has been picked up is that Seth Emerson has been reported to be one of the most popular and best-known executives of the National City Bank in New York. Seth is Vice-President of the Personal Loan Department of the bank.
Some month very soon, unless a miracle happens and news of classmates is forthcoming, this column will have to be filled with gossip and notes from Washington, which won't have anything to do with 1911, and of no interest to anyone. So, how's to lend a hard-working man a hand, or he may be forced to report such items as the following, which is of interest primarily to the family concerned, namely, that Professor and Mrs. N. G. Burleigh announce the engagement of their daughter, Barbara, to John H. Hewitt, of Buffalo, New York. The latter is a librarian and a graduate of Harvard College.
Secretary, Hanover, N. H. Treasurer, 631 Walden Road, Winnetka, Ill.
