1921*
COLORADO SPRINGS, Dec. 26 A great event in this part of the Dartmouth world took place last week with the playing of a two-game hockey series between Colorado College and the Dartmouth Indians, on the evenings of December 19-20. Dartmouth won the first game, 3 to 2, and Colorado the second, 3 to 1. Both were wellfought, hard games and Dartmouth put on an exhibition of which all of us were proud There being but a handful of Dartmouth alumni in town, the duty fell on the Class of '21, consisting of Ralph Ruder and myself, to try to see that the team was well entertained. Sightseeing trips were arranged and I believe the hockey team enjoyed their four days' stay in the Pike's Peak region. We had our customary perfect December weather (California reporters please note) and I think the team was surprised to find how mild and open the Colorado winters are. .... There being nothing further to report at present, your Colorado scribe will sign off, wishing you and, through you, all the members of the class a happy and prosperous New Year.

Speedy Fleet broke into print in rather a large way when the New York HeraldTribune ran a December 21 story on his housing activities. "The initial demand for housing accommodations in the newly created defense area at the east end of Long Island's north shore, centering around Greenport, will be met by private capital," starts the story, and the sponsor of the project is none other than Capitalist Clarence C. Fleet, owner of the Fleet Lumber Cos Art Anderson, advertising mgr. of Newsweek, knowing of this department's preference for his publication, has recently placed our name on the complimentary mailing list. Thanks, Artie, for your generous thoughtfulness Dave Bowen on July 1 severed his connection with New Salem Academy to accept the Superintendency of Schools in the Union made up of the towns of Dunstable, Pepperell, and Tyngsboro. Dave says: "Besides getting the appointment, it was necessary to have a certificate from the State, and the two-day examination in this latter connection was given on June 23 and 24. I prepared for the exam, by going to reunion shades of our undergraduate days. Our winter address is Route 111, East Pepperell, Mass., while our summer home is at Long Beach, Gloucester; we would be very pleased to have any of the class stop in at either place when convenient. If you want a good cold swim, Long Beach is the place for it."
For this issue, we delve deeply into the '2l mailbag and come up with several interesting items the earlier publication of which has been impossible, what with the flood of news which has inundated this corner ever since reunion. For instance, here's a letter, now about eight months old, from the pen of "Flew" Flewelling, professor of English at the Univ. of Maine, Orono: "I am sorry but I shan't be able to go back to Hanover reunion. ... I have just become a father again. Lynnette has another daughter, Judith. I am planning to take both right from the hospital to our summer place, which needs the constant attention of a man. I am the only man in the neighborhood.".... As the deadline for this issue approaches, word has been received at this far outpost of the sudden death, on December 30, of Bob McKelvey at his home in Whitefield, N. H. An account of his life will appear in the earliest practicable issue Delving again into the class mail pouch, up turns a letter (this one a mere four months of age) from Wilbur K. (Mike) Doran, the squire of Bristol, N. H., reading, "It was nice to hear from you, but I was more than sorry that we missed seeing each other. I live only a few steps from the office, so do not let it happen again My family has been enlarged by the addition of two daughters and a son. The oldest, Sally, is a Junior in high school; Patsy is struggling with the sixth grade, and Bobby is making whoopee at a private kindergarten I see Charlie Johnson quite often, as he spends his spare time camping at Newfound Lake. Jimmy Dodge from Laconia goes through here occasionally and says hello. I would like to see others when they come this way.". .. . Mike, who is the real estate-insurance-notary public-justice-ofthe-peace standout of Bristol, encloses with his letter an interesting brochure on The Newfound Region Jack Hurd wrote some time ago that the College had granted him a leave of absence for the first semester and that he was pursuing research studies at the Huntington Library, San Marino, Calif. He was living in Pasadena when he wrote, but no doubt will be back in Hanover about the time this issue sees the light of day.
The '2l mail pouch continues to turn up interesting items. Tony Gates crashes through with a new address, 85 Chestnut St., Weston, Mass., and writes that he's with Cudahy Packing Cos. as manager of the wool and pickle skin department, shearling sales. Also discloses his wife's name is Martha Evens Gates and they have three children, Martha Ann, Joel Evens, and Jonathan Leland Ray French has moved to 247 Ocean Drive West, Stamford, Conn., but fails to furnish any further information Nelson Lee Smith says he's living at the Lafayette Hotel since taking up residence in Washington, where, as you know, he's chairman of the Board of Investigation and Research (Transportation) with hdqrs. in the DuPont Circle Building Bill Duker has removed to 139 South 14th St. in Quincy, 111
Frank Taylor has gone back to his former neighborhood and is now residing at 119 Passaic Ave., Chatham, N. J And Gus and Betty Perkins have bought themselves a house at 11 Norman Circle, Madison, N. J., which is the next town west of Chatham Fred Hale, who has been "Internal Revenuing" in San Jose, Calif., for some years, discloses that he is married, has three children, and lives at 69 Valley View in the same city.
Gordon S. (Red) Stanley has been made auditor of disbursements for the New England Tel. 8c Tel. Cos., concerning which event we are indebted to Bill Bullen '22 for a pictorial clipping from the BostonGlobe Ellis Briggs has been transferred from Santiago, Chile, to the American Embassy in Habana, Cuba, reaching his new post the middle of July (another item found buried under tons of letters, postals, and clippings). Said Rolo: "I was very disappointed indeed not to get north in time to attend the reunion, and hope I'll be less than 5000 miles away before our twenty-fifth." Phil Noyes severed his connection as head of the French dept. at Tabor Academy, August 1, and started work the following Monday morning in the personnel dept. of National Fireworks, Inc., West Hanover, Mass. "The plant is 34 miles from Marion and I commute five days a week. Production is being stepped up steadily and munitions are being shipped regularly to the right places. 'Never a dull moment' is the motto in our dept. and with nearly 3000 now on the payroll in our West Hanover plant alone, you can see why." .... Ned Price reports having seen Ken Sater and Ike Baker in Chicago in the not distant past. Ken was on for a conference as a representative of the Ohio Public Utility Commission. Ike was in the Windy City on an undisclosed (to this reporter) mission and dined with Ned. Report: Ike spends all his spare time sailing on Casco Bay, Maine Take it away, George:
IN FEBRUARY, 1921 We celebrated our last Carnival. Outdoor Evening was introduced by a parade to the hockey rink. There a tug-of-war between freshmen and sophomores was staged; and Mrs. C. B. Blanchard, amateur lady fancy skating champion of America, and Miss Theresa Weld, Olympic champion, gave an exhibition. "A brilliant display of fireworks, made possible by the generosity of Dr. J. E. Johnson '66, concluded the evening's outdoor happenings." Indoors, at the Carnival Ball, Leo Reisman's 12-piece Hotel Brunswick Egyptian Room Orchestra played, presenting, among others, two new pieces, Bright Eyes and Love Birds.Rise, Please!, with music by Hubert Ripley and additional songs by Homer Cleary, was the Carnival show. Star performers were Cleary, Bill Embree, Doc Fleming, Rog Bird, Hank Noyes, and Con Beattie. .... The Dartmouth Poetry Society sponsored the appearance of The Scrip, "published at Hanover-in-the-North; price, onefifth of a d011ar.".... The Dartmouth editorially deplored the decline of "wooding it up": "We hope to see it come back into its own to replace the cat calls and whistles that are tending so strongly to supersede it.". ... Werner Janssen ex-'21, composer of Dancing Honeymoon, gave a piano recital.
