1912*
Your Secretary is advised of the death of William C. Timbrell at New Britain, Connecticut, on November 15, 1941. Your Secretary does not have the requisite material for an obituary and would be pleased if some member of the Class would send information.
Treasurer Dick Plumer requests the Secretary to remind those who have not yet paid their dues for subscriptions to make an effort to do so.
Robert E. Baird writes as Vice President of Bi-Lateral Fire Hose Company, 20 North Wacker Drive, Chicago, Illinois.
Unc Bellows saw the Yale and Princeton game and was lucky enough to sit with Queechee French, just returned from Nova Scotia. He saw quite a few of the Class at New Haven and Randy Burns and Jimmy Steen at Princeton. Unc's youngest son, Lawrence, is a Freshman at Dartmouth.
Lily Biery has donated a model of the Santa Maria to Dartmouth College in memory of Hutch whose most cherished possession it was. Hutch always hoped to be able to afford to establish a scholarship at Dartmouth, and because he was unable to fulfill his wish, Lily has made this generous gift to the place he so dearly loved. The ship is dedicated to the Class of 1912.
Marjorie Jane Bresky, daughter of Otto Bresky, was married on December 7 to Edward Irwin Shifman in the state suite of the Copley Plaza Hotel in Boston.

Cl LXJLJJ LU iVJLCAICU. Syd Clark writes that since leaving Mexico he has visited all of the Central American republics, having two weeks in Guatemala and galloping through the others at the rate of two a week. His chief excitement has been presidents and earthquakes. He met three presidents in twenty-four hours, and had a three-day junket with two of them. The earthquake was in San Jose, the capital of Costa Rica while Syd was watching a rehearsal in the National Theater. He rushed from the building in time to see the angel on top of the building wave his wings with the violence of the shock. Syd's whole trip was by plane, and he is supposed to have returned in time for Christmas.
Doc O'Connor ran into King Cole and his family at Charleston, West Virginia, and had a nice chat.
Dutch Cottrell writes from the Cottrell Paper Company, Inc., manufacturers of electrical insulating paper with factory at Rock City Falls, New York and sales office at Fall River, Massachusetts.
Louis Ekstrom writes that he went to Rochester, New Hampshire, without giving your Secretary a ring. Evidently Louis doesn't read his Class notes or he would have discovered that the Secretary was in Washington, so he's got two things to explain. Louis saw the Colgate-Dartmouth game in Hanover with Boss Geller.
Roy Frothingham is President of "Facts Consolidated" at 111 Sutter Street, San Francisco. This is a marketing research organization established in 1935 with major offices at San Francisco and Los Angeles and research facilities in all the important trading centers of the states west of the Mississippi and in western Canada.

Tubby Morrill writes from 40 Lloyd Street, Worcester, Massachusetts, that Hal Fuller is the king of Worcester, or, perhaps, "the wet nurse for home defense," and that he is doing a swell job.
Your Secretary had a nice call from Charlie Gately who was on defense business in Washington. Charlie's residence is 145 Beach 149 th Street, Neponset, New York.
Bud Hoben reports from Mexico City that up to date his football team has won every game and will play Louisiana on January 1.
Sam Hobbs writes that he is back in California from a three- or four-week trip East. He visited Chip Farrington and Marian at Westchester, Pennsylvania. Sam left his daughter, Mary Lou, in New York to attend the graduate school of Juilliard School of Music where she has a fellowship. Sam Jr. is still following forestry with the U. S. Forest Service in San Bernardino National Forest fighting forest fires.
Mike Home very justly complains be- cause your Secretary overlooked the fact that he is in Indianapolis, Indiana, general agent for the Columbia National Life Insurance Company of Boston at 742 Consolidated Building. The only good that came of the Secretary's omission was to get the note out of Mike. At any rate, your Secretary apologizes for the loss of an opportunity to see Mike.
Hippo Marden writes that he is still located in Albany, New York, practicing medicine and doing some teaching at the Albany Medical College. He hopes that the War will not prevent a reunion for next June. He was in Hanover for the Colgate game and met quite a few of the boys which whetted his appetitie for a chance to see more of them. Hippo's oldest boy has put in an application to enter Dartmouth next Fall.
Doc O'Connor presided at the dinner commemorating the 150 th anniversary of the Bill of Rights at the Waldorf Astoria in New York on December 14, at which the Under Secretary of War and others spoke.
A letter from Jimmy O'Neal from Pasadena, Californai, 1940 Lobardi Road, is to the effect that he spent a few weeks in the East this Summer. Jimmy is a grandfather twice over, and his son, Bill, Class of '37, completed his medical course in Stanford last June and is now interning in the Los Angeles General Hospital. Jimmy wants to be remembered to everybody.
Dick Plumer reports that he is working on his waistline and is now only nine pounds overweight.
A welcome letter from Walter Thomas reports that he has gone to the dogs; e.g., that he is president of the Loyal Humane Society, which, three years ago built a $22,000 animal shelter. He is also president of the Loyal Association for the Blind. His summer address is Maiden Island, Maine, where he would like to see any prospect coming up the coast by land, sea or air.
Henry van Dyne broke his leg on November 30, when a horse he was mounting bolted. He was in the Robert Packer HosBasil pital in Sayre, Pennsylvania, until Christmas, and still has his leg in a cast. Henry is a great horseman. His Tennessee walking horse, Sun Tan, a beautiful dappled chestnut mare will be seen at many of the 1942 shows.
Secretary, 6647 Thirteenth St., N. W., Washington, D. C.
