1909*

We held our usual dinner at the University Club the night before the Harvard Game and the following people were present: Al Newton, Gordon Weinz, Mike Farley, Harry Burroughs, Dan Watson, Sandy Hooker, Chet Brett, Cad Cummings, Harold Pratt, Herb Hawes, Art Swenson, Dutch West, Freddie Carroll, "Mary" Rogers. Several of our regular attendants who have not missed for many years, missed this year; such as, Curt Sheldon, George Adams, Chappelear, Clark Saville, Joe Worthen, Harold Murchie. Our singers, Art Swenson and Dan Watson and Sandy Hooker were very busy entertaining us with song. Harry Burroughs was called on to tell us about his son Jack, who is doing so well on the team. Many from neighboring classes dropped in because they had such a poor attendance and we seemed to be very much alive. '07, who had only two people and a keg of beer, decided to join hands with us and sent the keg of beer down to add to the festivities.

Chet Brett just returned the day of the dinner from a trip to the Coast where he had been to visit his son who is in the Navy and was just in for a few days furlough.

Mike Farley was suffering with arthritis and found it hard to bend his elbow, but finally succeeded in getting on the wagon.

The Class was very milch disappointed that Steve Holmes, because of injury, was unable to be in the game. Bob was also sick at home with a cold, but they said he would undoubtedly have gotten up if Steve had been in the game because he has not missed a game this year in which Steve was playing.

Also, disappointment was expressed when Jack Burroughs was able to be in the game only a few minutes the first half.

Phil Chase, who always attends our meetings, is now located with the Colt's Patent Fire Arms Company in Hartford. He is the procurement division of the Production Department and has the job of seeing that the equipment gets through on time.

Max Bonter got to Boston in time to attend the Harvard Game and visit with many of us a few days afterwards. He is now taking on the distribution of Old Desert Date Brandy. He has made some fine contacts in the East and expects to build up a good business in the next two or three years. He tells me that Emilie Erhard is now connected with the Lockheed Vega Aircraft Co., in charge of maintenance of buildings and grounds.

A notice has gone through from the Dartmouth Alumni Council that all formal class reunions under the 50th will be suspended for the duration of the war. Let's hope the war is over before 1944.

Phyllis Hazelton, the daughter of Sid and Marion, was recently married to Robert McWilliam of Garden City, New York. She was employed in the Freshman Dean's Office at the College and her husband is a Dartmouth College graduate and em- ployed by the Guaranty Trust Company, New York. Sid tells me that his son, Sidney Jr., has been in the Army for two years and at present is at the Quartermaster School, Camp Lee, Virginia.

I received a letter from Ruth Childs, and family in appreciation for the flowers sent on the death of Jack.

Curt Hilliard, who is quite prominent in health work in Massachusetts at the present time, is the recent author of "Massachusetts Health and Public Safety" which was published in a recent issue of TheMassachusetts Health Journal.
