By the time this MAGAZINE reaches you nearly the last word about Reunion will have been said; plans will have been made, and shortly classmates will be leaving for their common objective in Hanover. In fact, one classmate from Hawaii will already have started. Others are coming from as far away as California and various points still distant but yet nearer Hanover. All will have received lists of returning alumni, and if there still may be some classmates who you wish were going to join the rest, it still may not be too late to write them that letter and urge them to come. The message now is a very simple one—"SEE YOU IN HANOVER."
A few names have been added to the list, and some comments and some regrets have been received.
Says Amos Crooks, "I saw Hopper Allison today at the Hotel Statler attending Doctors' Meeting. Charlie Stebbins happened to come in, and we had a nice visit. Hopper and I will play our every five-year golf game in Hanover. See you in June."
Ken Ballou and family have had a tough winter. His daughter, Elizabeth, had a ruptured appendix and was in the hospital for a month; and then his son had to have an operation, followed by pneumonia. Yet, he writes, "Although we probably cannot stay the entire time, we will be there for a day at least."
Henry Hubert says he can't make it but adds, "With the best of success and best wishes for the 30th."
Dutch Irwin indicates that the statement that he is a "sure shot" for Reunion was a "misfire." Business activity at that particular time will probably prevent his coming, although his final sentence was, "Now don't tempt me further about Hanover in June."
Jack Ryan adds, "I am mailing you herewith slip that was attached to a very interesting list of our classmates. In any event, I think we can get back to Hanover for commencement, and we are going to bend every effort to do so." The only doubt is the commencement of their third youngest, Mary Jane, who is graduating from Downer College at the same time.
Word from Kan Knapp is, "Ken Jr. is Master Gunner in the 209 th Coast Artillery (A.A.), and I have promised a visit to him in camp. I am sorry not to be able to make the Reunion, because there are a lot of the boys whom I would like to see. Best regards to all the lads."
From Troy Parker arrives the information: (April 19th) "Once again I write from the limits of the Gulch. Came out two days ago. The big blizzard is starting to blow in from Wyoming. That will mean no escape from the Gulch for three or four days. Have not seen a paper and heard a commentator (the radio is blitzed) for these two days and no prospect of news for a few more. The Reunion gets further and further away. Can hardly see how I can make it. The air service is none too copious around here, and you hit me at my busiest time."
Leo Caproni has been visiting Florida and is responsible for the information that Satan Sanderson and Herb Clark and he attended a meeting of the East Florida Alumni Association in Fort Lauderdale. Quothe he, "We naturally talked of the coming 30th Reunion. Of course Sanderson will be there. I don't believe Herb can come, because it is his busiest season as a buyer of fruits and vegetables, and he just can't get away."
Announcements have been received of the marriage of Nancy Pendleton, Alt Jackson's daughter, to Mr. Frank Seiberling Jr. on May Ist at Willoughby, Ohio. The newly married couple are going to live at 710 Lincoln Avenue, Toledo, Ohio. Two 1911 sons recently made the headlines in The Dartmouth as a result of elections to responsible positions in the Dartmouth Outing Club for the year 1941-42. Harold L. Bond was elected President, and David Heald, Secretary. It should be interesting news to Fred Harris to know that sons of 1911 are carrying on the organization which he started some thirty years ago.
Artistry is a magazine devoted to the Muses and published in Oak Park, Illinois. Volume VII, No. 1 says Alice Brown Stout, pianist-composer, has won signal honors in her profession. "Few musicians are so well and favorably known to the patrons of music in Chicago, Washington, and other cities throughout the country as Alice Brown Stout She has gone far in the field of composition, having had her work used on selective programs and in recitals. She has also played her own compositions on programs for the American Opera Society of Chicago She wrote the Song of Progress, the official song for the Century of Progress."
Jack Ingersoll writes that his company, The Wellman Bronze and Aluminum Cos., has taken over the old Peerless Auto plant where they will make magnesium castings. He is starting with them as Personnel Director. He still hopes he can make Hanover in June. He has moved to 7200 Wade Park Avenue, Apartment No. 12, Cleveland, Ohio A new address has come for Harold Dykeman. It is 10925 Longwood Drive, Chicago, Illinois The John McDonalds have moved to Bethesda, Maryland, where they are living at 7621 Old Georgetown Road Guy Putnam is associated with the Gulf Oil Company in their main office in the Park Square Building, Boston, Massachusetts. Guy is living in Weymouth, Massachusetts, at 85 Homestead Avenue Bob Sanderson is due back in Pittsfield from Palm Beach on June Ist.
Larry Odlin expects to find it difficult to make Hanover in June, as he is busily engaged in the Purchasing Department of the Navy at the 13th Naval District in Seatde, Washington.
Word has been received from Art Pease stating that he is a salesman with his address at 2310 East Lynn Street, Seattle, Washington Russ Kimball of Colorado Springs is located at 610 North Cascade. .... Here follow a few other changes in addresses: Leonard Hoefler, 30 Eastchester Road, New Rochelle, New York Paul Ayer, 39 Capt. Pierce Road, Egypt, Massachusetts Percy Deshon, 418 North Beachwood Drive, Los Angeles, California. . .. .Walter Pendleton, 387 Commonwealth Avenue, Boston, Massachusetts.
Wee Kimball in doing a little building in the old home town of Contoocook, New Hampshire, found himself buying lumber from the good associate of the class of 1911, none other than Art Stevens. Wee also wrote that he enjoyed very much a visit with Ben Ayers.
That fellow in the picture above was once known as "The Duke of Duluth." He is now planning to take his vacation in June and attend reunion, bring Julia with him and go to Whitefield and everything. He will be one of our most distant commuters.
George Leach got caught in Florida last winter with a ruptured appendix but he and Parie are expecting to return to Chicago about June ist, and then on to Hanover for reunion and post-reunion.
