1910
HAROLD WASHBURN has loaned me some bits of Dartmouthiana which rate far more space than wartime rules permit "The Dartmouth" of Nov. 28, 1884, a 28-page publication filled with interest.... and "Field Meeting" programs of '83 and '84 which shatter the popular mental picture Dartmouth men have of Richard Hovey .... it seems that Dartmouth's immortal poet must have possessed a yen for physical prowess of Atlas dimensions for we find him entered in such track events as 100- yard dash, running broad jump, shot put, mile run, hammer throw, running high jump, 220-yard dash, standing high jump, three-legged race, throwing baseball, half- mile run, kicking football, obstacle race, wrestling (collar and elbow), bicycle race, 2-mile run, quarter-mile run, boxing (heavy weight) .... they must have made their rum and poets stout in those days. .... Harold inherited these historical pieces from his mother's brother, one Wil- liam Wallace Wilcomb 'B7.
ART ROLLINS, Supt. of Schools, Rochester, N. H., who has pioneered some of the basic training methods now employed in New England schools, has become a member of the Committee on Teacher Education at Univ. of N. H., where his ideas and advice will be immediately available to university students Adolph Bressler lives at 2333 S. Sheridan Rd., Highland Park, 111 "Wilk," in his work, went to St. Pete, Florida, left same day for his home in California, which makes swell propaganda for West Coasters.
SHORTY WORCESTER was one of many Tenners hit hard by Bunny Armstrong's death, for during their college days of deep friendship they had planned to retire together at Friendship, have Cape Cod cottages side by side, live the life of Riley.
SECOND GENERATION .... Jack Jenness who has been doing a grand scholastic and extra-curricular job at Hanover, left College to enter the Government Meteorology School; Jack, who came up from Bucky Allen's well-known Rivers School, was a member of Green Key and the Press Club, Sports Editor of THE DAILY DARTMOUTH and undergraduate sports writer for the ALUMNI MAGAZINE.
Stanley Sandberg D '43, who received his degree in December, did not have to attend classes his last semester, worked in playwriting, radio scripts, etc., under supervision of English Department.... is a member of Notre Dame Midshipman school.... his younger brother, Herbert '45, majoring in physics, was inducted in Electronic Division, Signal Corps, is now at Sea Girt, N. J.
Muriel Kent, Mt. Holyoke junior, an improvement over her old man, is doing two A's, three B's work.... and Wilcomb Washburn, who plays football, debates and what not in his spare time, was recently elected to Exeter's Cum Laude society Debby Bankart has done considerable traveling as commentator for the Government film "U. S. Ski Troops in Action," a twohour motion picture We've heard that she and the film are doing a good job for Uncle Sam.
Elizabeth Robinson, the youngest of Harold's three really fine children, is a Wellesley sophomore, waited on table in Maine last summer, works part of her way through college, proving conclusively that this younger generation can deliver the goods when necessary.
A letter and snapshot from Elton Norris '11 showed Roy's son, Stewart, to be a fine looking first lieutenant in the Marine Corps.... working his way through Ohio Wesleyan, he played on tennis team, entered Marine O.T.C. in October, 194.1, won his commission, is now somewhere in Pacific with a machine gun battery.
WARREN SHAW'S address is 130 E. Ist St., Carlinsville, 111 Jack Dingle can be found at 34 N. State St., Dover, Del. .... Andy Scarlett says that Capt. Dinny Pratt looks very impressive in his uniform. .... Mac Kendall writes, "Have just finished Ben Williams' 'Time of Peace' and enjoyed it immensely.... it's especially interesting to Dartmouth men and to men of our age." .... The novel still rates among "The Best Sellers" and Ben's previous novel "The Strange Woman" is having a rebirth in sales.
CHAN BAXTER tries to contact all Dartmouth men in vicinity of Bremerton Navy Yard and Tacoma .... he heard that young Nick Carter was an ensign stationed there, dropped him a line but had no reply which indicated that the lad had been moved on.
EASTY'S retirement started a lot of sober thinking and some action in the Class, the latest coming from Dick Hursh, superbook man, who suggests a nice small town in Florida winters, some log cabins on Canaan Street Lake summers, which reminds me that the College has some desirable frontage acquired through the Haffenreffer gift that could be developed for just such a purpose .... something which Halsey Edgerton and I have discussed more than once.
RESTRICTED SPACE compels me to cease day-dreaming and get back to earth and in closing I'd like to ask you fellows to help Andy Scarlett with his Alumni Fund campaign all you can.
Secretary, Canaan St., Canaan, N. H. Class Agent, 14 North Balch Street, Hanover, N. H.
