1910

This issue marks the close of another year and sees 1910 go Reunion-less in what would have undoubtedly been one of our finest gatherings.—Yet it is worth scarce a thought in comparison with the events that surround us—we'll have all the more to look forward to when we do meet again.

Homer Mills who was with us freshman year and left to attend Princeton where he graduated summa cum laude, attended the Boston Alumni Dinner, his first Dartmouth gathering in forty years. Homer also graduated from Harvard Business School and has been with Howard Bushway in the ice cream business for many years—his father was head of the Conservatory of Music and both his parents were great friends of Caruso. He has four children, three of whom are boys and in the service. He is a fellow who would enjoy one of our Reunions—along with his associate, Mr. J. Howard Bushway, who has always been generous in sending ice cream gifts to classmates since the advent of dry ice.

The sympathy of the class goes to Inky and Miriam Taylor whose son George has been missing in action since January 21. George, Dartmouth '4l, entered the Navy the morning after his graduation, was commissioned ensign, promoted to lieutenant, and had been on continuous sea duty. A Jap suicide bomber ■dove into the superstructure where George was stationed, causing heavy casualties, among whom he was one who was reported "missing in action." Class sympathy also goes to Mr. and Mrs. Harry Sandberg whose son Stanley, Dartmouth '43, an ensign in the Navy, has been reported "missing in action." No details are available—Stan was on a Pacific destroyer.

These losses and other similar losses of 1910 sons and of other sons are hard to accept—you can explain them as you will—but they still are hard to take—and you don't have to be one of the parents to feel very, very deeply for these splendid lads who are being compelled to pay the supreme price for something they really should have no part of an appalling inheritance for a generation of mature adults to have passed along to its youth.

Jim MacPherson and Russ Palmer were active in committee work on the recent New York Alumni Dinner. Lew Williams' business address is with Gebhardt & Brockson, Inc., 600 S. Michigan Ave., Chicago. Sumner Lloyd is retired, lives at Laguna Beach, Calif. Win Nay is in California, too, at 948 Leslie Drive, San Gabriel. Thanks to Harold Benjamin we have a Chicago Tribune picture of jaunty Tom Heneage, charter member of Oak Park Country Club, looking as of yore, although the paper carries these lines, "When a fellow reaches the age where his legs have lost some of their spring, it's time to use the brain to compensate for the change." Jim Kerley lives at 1704 Lamont St., Washington, and Jimmie Frame, Mining Engineer, calls Clayton, Ga., his home, though his office is 449 Federal Building, Albany, N. Y.

Here are 1910's congratulations to Cliff Lyon! Cliff generally agreed to be one of the most able lawyers in the State has been appointed by the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts a member of the Board of Bar Examiners. Cliff is a swell fellow, a grand classmate and a most loyal Dartmouth man.

1910 Offspring—Herb Wolff, Marine, who was in five invasions and wounded at Eniwetok, is in this country recovering from filariarsis, a tropical disease. His brother Alfred is in this country; his brother John is in South Pacific, with Richard probably being in Navy before he can start Dartmouth. Raynor Johnson is one of the 3,000 young pre-med men lucky enough to be allowed by the Army to continue his medical school work, yet he is trying to get back in a uniform again. His sister Jean is in her senior year at Laurel Hill, preparatory to college next fall. Dick Meredith is in artillery training at Fort Bragg—his brother Dud (Naval Lt. jg) is communications officer on an attack transport in the Pacific. Wilcomb Washburn, Dartmouth athlete and honor student, has been selected to attend the School of Oriental Languages, University of Colorado, at Boulder, to learn Japanese in a 14-months course, after which he will be commissioned and assigned to a Marine unit as an intelligence officer. Bob Kendall is in his fifth semester as a pre-medic at DePaw, while his sister Katherine will soon finish nurses training and probably sign up for service somewhere. Young Howard Bushway flies bombers in India and the far Pacific with 100 missions to his credit. Judith Taylor, art student of merit, graduates from Boston School of Museum of Fine Arts in June, after having had several of her paintings shown in Boston and New York. Elaine Grant is a probationer cadet nurse at Mary Hitchcock Hospital.

A 1 Salmon died April 5—Ray Gorton and Earle Pierce attended the funeral—further details are in the In Memoriam section.

This has been a tough year for everyone, but your class officers have carried on to the best of their available ability—and Andy Scarlett is really closing the official year with a he-man job, that of raising 17,221, to place 1910 in the exclusive $100,000 group of classes —a little here and a little there plus some general upping will enable our very able class agent to lead us up where we belong.
