1910

It looks like a Class Reunion the weekend of July 5-6; that is, if the Navy releases sufficient dormitory space by then. Don Cameron has worked out a rather interesting Reunion schedule for classes who lost their reunions during the War, and for those coming up this next June—it means that we'll be back in Hanover with men who were in college with us.

The 35th-year group including '08,' '09, '10, and 'll will gather there at the same time- along with the loth-year bracket of '33, '34, '35. '36.

The weekend allotted to us is particularly favorable because the preceding day is Thursday, the Fourth—actually, nearby men could start from home about the third and return Monday, the eighth, without too much loss of time. Those from a distance gain accordingly.

We have asked Else Jenness and Charlie Fay to take charge of the Reunion and enlarge the committee according to their desires—Else and Charlie were originally appointed to handle the 35th, if it had been held on time.

Unless all signs fail, this will be the greatest Reunion we ever held because many men who have not been in Hanover for years have expressed a desire to come back once more—and a long.Fourth of July weekend offers a grand opportunity.

Russ and Madge Palmer called on the Fosters in Portland on way through to some Maine fishing—Ralph Paine sees Walter Norton occasionally and Art Bucknam quite frequently, claims both look like young fellows to him. Juddy is planning to winter in Florida. .... Horace Edgerly has retired, wants to visit Hanover, and may settle permanently in California .... Win Nay lives at 58 Farragut St., Somerville .... Phil Brooks' office is on tenth floor, 141 Milk St., Boston.

OFFSPRING—Norma Grant married to Pfc. Harry R. O'Day, September 28 .... Bill Moe's daughter is secretary to Gordon Bill in Hanover—one son, Russell, has been with sth and 7th Armies in Italy and Germany for a total service of nearly three years; another son Robert is an accountant for Sherwin Williams in Cleveland .... Lt. Dick Sherwin commanded one of the smaller ships in the Pacific Frank Meleney Jr., age 17, is in the Navy. One of Bill Brown's boys skippered a PCE boat —also a PC in the Aleutians. The other lad was a major in combat quartermasters during Philippine invasion—Bill has three granddaughters and two grandsons—and his daughter Jean was just married; so all in all, The Gloucester Merchandising Tycoon ought to have a busy old age But he has nothing on that very successful Pacific Coast Merchandiser, Eck Hiestand, who boasts of seven grandchildren and three sons-in-law, scattered all over the globe. Slip Powers says that insofar as he can find out, his new son-in-law, Samuel Baugh II, is no relation to the famous "Slinging Sam." The class of 1910 will have offspring at Dartmouth for many years to come .... Brown Copper's nine-year-old, fifth- grade son, Cyrus 8., is definitely headed for there, as is that fine little son of Johnny Hobbs —and even though his dad will not be here to enjoy him, the rest of us can share some of the pride that would have been Johnny's.

Heinie Reed sent a note to 1910's great treasurer, Fletch Burton, which we would like to share with you:

The ALUMNI MAGAZINE has been a constant in- spiration during these war years. The record of heroic achievement and the glowing spirit of sacrifice of these Dartmouth men has never been surpassed in the history of the College. To follow these men through the pages of the MAGAZINE, wherever fighting took them, has made it just a bit easier to reconcile oneself to the inevitable armchair.

Miss Charlotte Ford, efficient operator of Dartmouth's Alumni Records office, has informed us that Al Barker died a year or so ago according to information just received—she is trying to obtain the details.

The matter of a Class Memorial Fund is now before us, as we are squarely in front of an almost unbroken line of classes that have adopted it successfully. Details will be sent to the members—it will not conflict in any way with the Alumni Fund, for it is something quite apart; it operates at other periods of the year, so that all those able and anxious to make additional gifts to the College can do so.

With the winter season coming on, it is well to recall that some of Dartmouth's most prominent alumni associations are headed by Tenners—Ed Shattuck is president of the famous Boston group, Lew Williams heads up the Chicago Association, with Jack Ryan acting in similar capacity at Milwaukee.

We all miss Andy Scarlett—but expect him back in late February or early March, after having made a truly worthwhile contribution to the boys in the G.I. College at Biarritz.

You fellows might send in any suggestions you have on the Reunion and Class Memorial Fund—along with some news items.
