1912

Additional news of Bud Hoban's football coaching at the University of Mexico is contained in a letter from him dated November 14:

"We have had a good season, winning all of our games here so far. Have but one more to play and we should win that one.

"I took the boys, 41 of them, down to San Antonio, Texas, two weeks ago and we took a neat beating from Randolph Field, 34-0. In spite of the score, my boys played a bang-up game but were out-weighed 30 pounds to a man and opposed two or three All-Americans and two former pro-players from the Detroit Lions. Glen Dobbs of Tulsa, last year Ail-American, simply ran away from us three times. But we made 11 first downs to their 10 and forged another strong link in Good-Neighbor relations. We traveled over the Pan-American Highway in two buses and that is a trip which should be a 'must' for everybody after the war. * * *

"Barbara and I missed the colors in New Hampshire again this year, but Mexico is beautiful at any season. Warm sunny days and cool nights make for good healthy living. Our Spanish is pretty good, but although we go to many Mexican homes and parties, neither of us does much credit to Mexican food as yet. * * *

"We do not know our complete plans as yet but we may stay on well after the first of the year. Shoveling snow and feeding the wood stove at Journey's End last year was tough going.

"P.S. Just received over the 'phone an invitation to a real New England Thanksgiving Dinnerturkey and all the fixings. Boy, does that sound good!"

Apropos to the communication from Lyme Armes published a couple of months ago, we have a picture from the Boston Herald of November 12 showing Lyme and the other 11-11-11 Club Historians compiling the 1943 chapters of the club's "HinkyDinky History of the U. S. A.," at the annual Armistice Day meeting at the Hotel Lenox in Boston. The 11-11-11 Club is a group of Legionnaires that meet at 11 A.M. November 11 each year. After solemn service for a few minutes the rest of the day is passed by singing the 72 or more verses of history to the tune of "Hinky-Dinky Parlez Vous."

At the University Club in Boston the night before the Cornell Game the following 'l2ers gathered for fried chicken and extras: Eddie Luitwieler, Irv Putnam from Cleveland, Ray Cabot, Gee Bullard, Hal Fuller, Caesar Young, Pett Pettingell, Ben Adams, John Parks, Ted Lampee, Rollie Linscott, Queechie French and Lyme Armes. Pett says, "We had a very fine reunion. The next day I saw Doc and Mrs. Burnham at the game. It must have been a thrill to them when the loud speaker announced to the assembled thousands that Dartmouth had won the cross-country run in New York and that Don Burnham had come in first." Les Snow attended the Alumni Council meeting and the game the next day but missed the dinner.

The sympathy of the class is extended to the family of Bug Knight, who died November 7 at the Chelsea Naval Hospital. At the funeral services the class was represented by Eddie Luitwieler, Ray Cabot, Ev Gammons, Jimmy Cleaves, Caesar Young and Pett Pettingell, who acted as pallbearers.

As acting class treasurer, Pett gives his report as of August 1, showing receipts from balance turned over by Dick Plumer, interest and dues, totaling $1,716.35. Disbursements amounted to $528.69, leaving a balance on hand of $1,187.66.

While on an extensive trip in connection with the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, Doc O'Connor had a cocktail party in Cleveland on November 17 when the following classmates were among those present: Mark Snow, Chet Newcomb, and Scott Rogers. Irv Putnam missed it because he was in Boston at that time.

Harry Trapp brings himself up to date—"l have been back in Laconia ever since graduating from Law School. Since 1930, I have been justice of the local Municipal Court, and since 1932, I have also been clerk of the Superior Court for Belknap County. The two jobs fit in very nicely together and I enjoy the work of each. I have four children. The oldest, Harry Jr., graduated from Dartmouth and within a few weeks now will graduate from Temple Medical School. He is in Army uniform while completing his studies.

"My oldest daughter, Virginia, graduated from Mt. Holyoke, and married an Amherst man, Willard G. Rice, of Worcester, Mass., who is a thirdyear medic at Tufts Medical. On October 15, 1943, they presented me with my first grandchild, a big, husky boy about whom his father and I are scrapping as to whether he will go to Amherst or Dartmouth.

"Our next daughter, Constance, also graduated from Mt. Holyoke, and is now working at the Harvard Business School, assisting in turning out officers for the Quartermaster and other corps. My other daughter, Joan, is a senior in High School, and will be off to college next year.

"A short time ago, I had the pleasure of a short visit here with John Park, my room-mate in Wheeler Hall, whom I had not seen for several years. If any 'l2ers, or their friends, should be in Laconia, or going through, I should be very pleased to have them call on me."

Sam Hobbs, who has been with the Portland Cement Association for many years, is the author of "Developments in Concrete Widen the Opportunities for Use in the Construction Field," appearing in the November 5 issue of Southwest Builderand Contractor.

Rollie and Lily Linscott are living at Peterboro, N. H., but most of their time is spent "on the road" in connection with Rollie's duties as New England Regional Director for the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis. They recently had dinner with Bill Shapleigh at Portland, Maine, and went to the Yale and Columbia games with Mr. and Mrs. Queechie French. After the Columbia game they were all guests of the Ray Lewis' at Lebanon.

Classmates in and near New York will reune at dinner at the Dartmouth Club of New York on Monday evening, January 10.

Syd Clark has contracted with Dodd Mead and Cos. to write a new book on Mexico for publication in 1944. He will be in Mexico soon, where his address after the first of the year will be Hotel Reforma, Paseo de la Reforma, Mexico City. He hopes to repeat the marvelous times he had with Bud and Barbara Hoban when he met them there in 1941.

Sons and Daughters.... Bill Butler's oldest daughter, Betty, specialized in home economics at the University of California and is now putting it into practice as a dietitian and assistant superintendent of a small hospital in California. Son Dave is doing his stuff as radio man and gunner on a bomber Barbara, daughter of Stan Weld, is field secretary for Hartford County, Conn., for the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis. Her engagement was recently announced to, Lt. (jg) William McGuire USNR of Staten Island, N. Y., a graduate of Bucknell University '42. Barbara is a graduate of Colby Junior College and Connecticut College for Women. Stan's older boy Bob is a mechanic with the American Export Lines at LaGuardja Field, New York City. The younger boy Dave is in V-12 at Dartmouth.
