1911

Please note the change of address of the secretary from Washington, D. C., to Hanover, New Hampshire. After spending four years with the War Production Board in Washington, following V-E Day and the revocation of most of the Limitation Orders, he was allowed to return to Hanover to resume his former position in the Tuck School. This merely means a change in crossroad station. Washington has been a place to which many i9iiers have had occasion to go and it was always a pleasure to see them and to get a little fresh news about them or their families and friends. Hanover is going to be a favorite meeting spot in the future, however, and it is hoped that all classmates will drop in at the Tuck School or at 1 Webster Terrace.

Ken Clark has finished his sojourn with the Maritime Commission Renegotiation Board in Washington and he and Elizabeth have returned to New York.

The new address for Laurence Coy is Clinton, lowa, where he is a Seedsman with the W. Atlee Burpee Co. He lives at 5231,4 North Fourth Street.

Dick Chase was recently in Washington and gave pleasure to George Morris, Ted Stafford, and the secretary by taking them about the interesting Pullman exhibit. Dick, you may recall, is Plant Manager and New England Sales Manager of the Pullman-Standard Car Manufacturing Company in Worcester, Mass. Dick's younger boy is a lieutenant commander on a battleship in the Pacific.

The Dartmouth News Service released thefollowing information about Harold Burtt:

Professor Harold E. Burtt, of Ohio State University's Department of Psychology, will receive special recognition from the University Board of Trustees for his 26 years of service to the University at a dinner on April 16. He has been on the Ohio State staff since 1919, advancing from the rank of instructor to that of a full professor and chairman of his department. During the first World War he was a captain in the Army Air Service and during the present conflict he has served as a part-time expert consultant to the Secretary of War on matters of personnel psychology. The Ohio State faculty member has written a number of books in the field of employment and industrial psychology.

Last December Warren Agry resigned fromthe Hearst Organization to become advertising director of The American Home magazine,and Warren admits he is enjoying his new jobtremendously.

You probably have noted that "Duke" Dunning is the new member of the Alumni Council for District 4.

Dick Whelden says this about the New York dinner, the success of which is due in large part to his efforts:

I think we had more than 1910 or 1912—1 don't know. Here they are: Agry, Whelden, J. Steeves, Stebbins, Carlisle, Halstead, Shepherd, Emerson, Russell, Sterling, Holden, Randall. Les Waldron, who happened to be in the Penn Hotel that day on a business trip, came to dinner. He is with Dayton Rubber Company, Dayton, Ohio. Also, Bert Dugdale and Frank Dudley showed up—an agreeable surprise. Kimball and Henry Hubert sent letters or regret. Mathes and Rollins bought tickets but didn't make it at the last minute. Ray Nead worked hard getting the men out for the dinner but doctor's orders kept him at home. Ken Clark and Austin Keough were in California. Art Ganly and Hopper Allison had doctors* meetings or office hours. There was no word from the rest. It was a good dinner even if Art Shepherd did feed us fish.

With the coming of spring and the opening of the Mountain View House in Whitefield, you all will be interested in some excerpts from Volume 1, No. 6, of the WhitefieldHorizon, published by the Mountain View House in the White Mountains:

Mountain View will open for its eightieth seaSon on June 15. This is a long time for a family to live in one spot, a long time for a business to continue on the same location. To us who are carrying on this business started by our grandfathers and great grandfathers, it is a source of pride, but it is also a responsibility and a challenge. We cannot for a moment let down from the fine ideals and aspirations of our forebears. They little realized the growth that would take place through the years on this hill. They started the first inn and carried it on with high hope for its future. They worked very hard; They reflected in their personal lives and in their business dealings their fine character and ideals. They felt that here was a lovely spot, unusual in its natural advantages. They strove to establish here a place where people could come for rest and refreshment.

In those days there was a dignity and culture in the living of gentle-folk and it was planned to establish here a place where such people would find a congenial atmosphere. In spite of a lack of entertainment and recreational facilities, these early summer households, judging from old diaries and letters, had happy times together, and fun and good spirits often came to the fore.

There will be but few changes in the staff this summer. It is extremely gratifying to us that we are still able to have with us these loyal and cooperative employees, a large number of whom have been here many seasons and are a part of the place. Their presence here ensures for you a continuance of the same type of attention which has prevailed in the past.

In anticipating the season there is one situation that is troubling us. No, it isn't food or staff but the fact that so many former guests and new patrons will have to be disappointed in securing accommodations. It is never easy for us to say "no." It is a word that never should be said in dealing with the public, and yet present-day conditions are forcing us to say it, very unwillingly, even at this early date.

Strange as it may seem our house is booked at capacity for most of the season. We still have a few desirable rooms available in June and m October, but we shall be obliged to reply disappointingly to many who will apply to us during the next few weeks. It will be with very real regret that we write discouragingly to our former guests and old friends.

Jack Russell Jr. has been stationed in Washington since December. He is a Marine, Third Division, and saw service with them in the Solomon Islands and other areas. He was put on the staff of the Commander of the Air Forces so that he saw much of New Zealand, New Guinea, and other parts of the Pacific. He is now a first lieutenant. He and his wife are living in Port Fairfax, just outside of Washington. His sister Marjory, a Red Cross nurse, has, likewise, seen much foreign action. She is now in the Philippines attached to the Fifth Air Force, having arrived there via service in the South Sea Islands, including Leyte, New Guinea, and the Solomons.

David Hedges, a lieutenant in the Navy with the Industrial Readjustment Bureau, is engaged in renegotiating contracts for the Navy with headquarters at the Navy Building in Washington, where he has been since last October. He and his wife are living in Fairlington, a suburb of Washington.

Dick Hedges is in Germany with the First Army. Sam, who enlisted in 1941 has had 22 months' duty on a destroyer, and is now at a midshipman's school. "Fred" is a student at the University of lowa.

Cap Hedges spends much of his time commuting between Cedar Rapids and Louisiana overseeing the oil drilling on his property near New Orleans.

ELECTION OF THE MAYOR OF HANOVER IN 1911 brought out a large crowd of notables who paraded in celebration of the event. Do you recognize any in the distinguished gathering? The secretary of 1912 claims that "Doc" O'Connor is in the line of march above, but doesn't divulge which one he is.
