There has been little further develop, ment regarding reunion since last month. In fact, only three classmates have added themselves to the list of reuners, but all three are most important. In fact, they are so important that much of their letters is being quoted.
Charlie Stebbins writes: "Florence and I are leaving Kansas City on March 4th for Lexington, Massachusetts. We expect to make a number of stopovers enroute, including calls on the Hopes in Cleveland and Ulines in Buffalo.
"During January Florence enjoyed attending an illustrated lecture by Doc Bond's wife at the Women's City Club, whose subject was 'Authors are People.' Much of the scenery was of beautiful New England.
"We hope to get to Hanover in June and also to Whitefield. We have not seen the 'Gang' since 1926 and I am sure it will be a real tonic to find ourselves among those present."
From Doc Wyman, Honolulu, Hawaii: "I've made reservation on the boat leaving here, May 29th, and can't tell you how much I am looking forward to being in Hanover, but I guess that is in common with all the gang.
"The Dartmouth Club here is very active, but it is my misfortune to be unable to attend most of the meetings, as they occur when my rehearsals are on. Did enjoy one recently at Dean DeMerritt's 1912. I am glad to see Dartmouth getting a few men from Hawaii these days. When I first came here Harvard and Yale were about the only eastern schools represented at the University Club.
"I'll be seeing you all in June."
"Eben" Holden writes from Shanghai that he will try to attend reunion, that he wants the MAGAZINE, and says, "Please send bill for class dues and MAGAZINE." Until April ist his address is given as 4721 Ankai Street, Honolulu, Hawaii.
The death of Lucy Keeler, Ed Keeler's charming wife, on February 26th, was a sad blow to her many friends. Lucy was stricken with bronchiectasis about two years ago. She and Ed did everything possible to overcome this affliction, spending some time in Arizona, and at the time of her death she was with a world famous surgeon in St. Louis. She seemed to be improving when at the last moment complications developed which seemed too difficult to overcome. One of the most popular 1911 wives, she will be missed by us all. and Ed has our very real sympathy.
Lucy was a graduate of Columbia Institute in Tennessee, following which she spent some time in Europe with her parents while she was still a student. During the World War she joined the woman's ambulance corps at Camp Grant, serving for two years including the period of flu epidemic. She assisted in the transportation of soldiers from their army posts to the base hospital at Camp Grant and to hospitals in Rockford.
She and Ed were married in August, 1918, just before he went overseas as a lieutenant in the 333 rd field artillery. Lucy was an enthusiastic gardener, and she won numerous awards in shows held by leading clubs in the north shore district of Chicago. She likewise was active in public welfare work.
Their daughter, Lucy Jane, is a senior at Pine Manor Junior College, Wellesley.
Following mid-year examinations Fred Eaton, son of Slim, returned to Tuck School to receive the congratulations of his friends and classmates on his marriage which had taken place on Dec. 30th, 1939.
Father Slim Eaton has recently taken a position as a member of the research staff in the Modern Homes Department of Sears Roebuck Company. Slim's office is with the company at Arthington and Homan Streets, Chicago, although the job requires his traveling about a bit.
At the Founders' Day Convocation Exercises of Rollins College last month Donald A. Cheney, pioneer Orlandoan and former Judge of the Orange County Juvenile Court, received the Algernon Sydney Sullivan Medallion. The award was made "as a tribute to outstanding character because you have ever set a noble example in the community of Christian leadership and in recognition of your loyalty to God and humanity."
Heine Chase was promoted last August 10 a Lieutenant Colonel of Infantry. He is now in the midst of a very strenuous training program with the 32nd Infantry, a part of the Seventh Division at Ford Ord, California. He is living in the attractive village of Carmel on the Monterey peninsula, twelve miles away. His daughter, Martha, is attending Castillga School in Palo Alto and expects to enter either Stanford or Pomona next fall.
At the Annual Boston Dinner where only eight showed up—Mullen, Paul, Butts, Mayo, Smith, Farrell, Beane, and Bowker. The explanation of the only eight is "change of locale seems to have affected some, I refer perhaps to Ingersoll and Pearson who are no longer with us here. Illness has taken others away, such as Clute, Hawkridge and Stucklen. Affluence has taken another citizen to Florida. A broken arm has slowed Stan Macomber down. So it goes."
In New York, Mathes, Agry, Fred Eaton, Jack Steeves, A 1 Halstead, Seth Emerson, and Ken Clark were on deck for 1911 to attend a big dinner meeting at the Dartmouth Club for the new football coach, Tuss McLaughry.
From "one of the bunch" in Albany, New York: "I have some great news for you and the class of '11! Today I received a letter from a big committee—from the Albany Chapter of the Committee to Defend America by Aiding the Allies, and among the many notables on this committee are Senor Samuel E. Aronowitz and Senor Edward Poole, both of our illustrious class. And now maybe the war will soon be over, for was not Senor Aronowitz a heap big chief and State Commander of the American Legion and Senor Poole did he not hold some high office in the United States Army in the last war. Also this Aronowitz is on the local Draft Board, is very active in public affairs and in the legislature. He is maybe a favorite son of Uncle Sam.
"Also Senor Poole is important in one of Albany's most fashionable churches, for he passes the collection plate around each Sunday, and he makes the rounds without having one of his arms tied behind his back as they told about in the days gone by of other Deacons and collection takers. Now Senor Poole has acquired a vera dignified manner and has a vera honest face, and maybe this is how he got this much trusted job.
"And they tell me that Senor Leo Mulfelder is also doing very good work for his countrymen and the feminine sex, for he has perfected a new sort of silk stocking which has a 'knee-cap clutch,' and the purpose of this elastic clutch, they say, is to keep the stockings from 'drooping.' This hosiery is renowned for being 'tantalizingly' fashioned and flawless, and they are triple inspected by such authorities as (names omitted) and some other classmates, and they also tell me that Senor Mulfelder has a very beautiful young Senorita attending Wellesley."
The Chuck Emerson family has been very much in the center of skiing this present season which is only fair, as Chuck has done so important a job in the development of skiing activities in the Eastern Slopes Region. All of the Metropolitan papers carried a fine action picture of Chuck and the four boys taken on the snowy slopes near their hotel. The youngest, Roger, who is at Vermont Academy, is one of the outstanding skiers of the school.
Lieutenant Colonel Patrick J. Hurley, still known to all of us as Pat, is the Post Executive Officer at Fort Sam Houston, Texas.
The above pictures may be of interest to show how styles have changed since 1907. Also, it may be interesting to notice how much better looking the second generation is than the first generation!
