1915*
News from the class is extremely scarce this month for some reason or other, so we are going to start the column by asking each and every one of the 15 regional vice presidents to send in at least one item of news for the next issue to reach me not later than March 8. You will get this on March 1, sit down and drop the note at once and I will have it in time to shoot it to Hanover by the dead line, March 10.
But it is not only the V. P.s who can furnish news—each member of the class is invited at any time to send in news of interest about members of the class, and you can be sure it will be welcome.
In this same connection, every classmate should communicate with the Secretary where any unusual emergency arises so that your class officers may act promptly. Should you learn of a death or other extreme circumstance, a wire to the Secretary will be acted on promptly by the officers of the class—the president, secretary and treasurer are all within a radius of a few miles of each other and will extend their best efforts to cover the case.
It looks as if the Boston Alumni Dinner on February 4 was the only gathering reportable this month, and we recorded 18 members of the class present at a capacity gathering in the Copley-Plaza, Boston, where we heard President Hopkins, our new football coach, Tuss McLaughrey, and a new star on the Hanover oratorical horizon, Prof. Allen Foley. With an informal gathering beforehand, in charge of the incomparable promoter, Walt Meader, the 'isers present made a formidable array when they repaired to the banquet. Included in the group were: President Bill Huntress, Treasurer Chan Foster, Johnnie Johnson, Walt Meader, Kike Richardson, George Simpson, Earl Clough, Dale Barker, Speed Henderson, Ed Shea, Henry Marcy, Willis Morey, Ernie Boyd, Leon Tuck, Pete Winship, Bud Doe, String Downing and the Secretary. When you compare this list with the 3 or 4 members of 1916 who filled in as an overflow of a '15 table, we had a very good representation.
A few changes of address have been received from the college office this month and are recorded for your information: Capt. Norville L. Milmore, 211th C. A. A. A., Camp Hulen, Palacios, Texas; Louis Hall, 1530 Hill Street, Ann Arbor, Mich.; Frederick L. Parchert, 109 Charles St., Boston; Francis L. Poor, 1118 Nira Street, So. Jacksonville, Fla.
Although somewhat belated, it has been called to my attention, and well worth recording here, that Beards Ruml, treasurer of R. H. Macy & Co. of New York, has been named chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. If we. get a few more '15ers in the top banking circles, the class financial operations will be impregnable.
A clipping from the Boston Post of last month sets forth a most interesting set of New Year's Health Resolutions propounded by Dr. Dwight O'Hara in an address before the Massachusetts Medical Society of which he is a most active and prominent member. He epitomizes his entire talk about avoiding needless worries about your health, by a cryptic closing sentence which urges: "Resist file-continual implication that there is something the matter with you." Good advice, yes, but it looks as if the Doc was talking himself out of a lot of business.
We tried to promote a gathering before the Harvard-Dartmouth basketball game the middle of January, but it didn't go so good. However, Jack Mason, Walt Meader and George Simpson did so foregather, and the report is that they made the last period of the game.
Just as a reminder, you Bostonians and New Yorkers, for a weekly hob-nob with '15ers:
Boston Luncheon: Every Monday at Warmuth's at 12:30, with any 'lser in the immediate vicinity at the moment, more than welcome.
New York Luncheon: At the Dartmouth Club each Tuesday at 12:30 P.M., and the New York contingent always glad to see those of their own, and visitors who may be in the city at the moment.
Treasurer Chandler H. Foster is in a most receptive mood for the receipt of class dues ($5, if you have forgot, and this includes the MAGAZINE subscription). His address is 31 Milk Street, Boston, Mass., so you can send him a check without any difficulty.
Secretary, Box 697, Lawrence, Mass.
