1926

ATHLETIC DEPT. The Reunion pictures in this issue (we hope) of Eddy, Flash, Hal and Nate will arouse your nostalgic recollections of the great football seasons of '23, '24 and '25. All four of these old family men are still in good shape and carrying the ball in life as well as they ever did on the field. Sorry that Charlie Starrett seems to have missed the official photographer at Reunion; can't believe the lad is camera shy, but perhaps he figured he was entitled to a vacation.... In some early issue we hope to reproduce an excellent picture in the Boston Traveler last August of Joe Batchelder, Joe's father and son Charles. The occasion was the famous Father-and-Son golf tournament at Winchester in which Joe and Charles (10 years old and playing his first tournament) won the Under Twelve division with a net 73, playing alternate shots while three inches of rain flooded the course. This was Joe's 27th year in this tournament, having played with his father since 1919. The papers predict that Charles will be a better golfer than Joe, which is no mean praise.

PROMOTION DEPT. Dick Moloney was reported some time ago out of the Navy and serving as Associate Professor of English at Kansas State College. The latest report has President Eisenhower increasing Dick's responsibilities by appointing him Assistant Dean of the School of Arts and Sciences of that institution. (Yes, the President is General Ike's brother.)

TRANSPORTATION DEPT. Babe Allen at 1105-12th St., Golden, Colo., and working with Worthington Pump & Machinery Cos., as a mining industry specialist. Bill Behrens moves from Niagara Falls, N. Y. to 36 Vine St., Bridgeport, Conn. Dean Chamberlin came out of the Army last February and is now engaged in educational and training work for the Veterans Administration here in Boston. Dean and Enid are living at 14 Stone Ave., Winchester. Roland Eaton changes to the Deshler-Wallick Hotel, Columbus, Ohio, which we assume he is managing. Dr. EdFowler out of the army and located at 180 Fort Washington Ave., New York City. Stormy Hartley also out of the Army, working for the United States Employment Service in Los Angeles and living at "453 So. Wilton Place, L. A. Bill Lary, out of the Navy, has deserted Boston and C.I.T. Corporation for the California Bank, Los Angeles, and is living at 719 Alma St., Glendale 2, Calif. BobLoomis has also hied himself to the Golden State, 334 Thorndale Road, Pasadena, for what purpose deponent knoweth not. HughMoore out of the Navy and back in Chicago with the Irving-Cloud Publishing Co. MajorRalph McClure reports in at 310 E. Cache La Poudre, Colorado Springs. Art Seibold, free from his Navy bonds, again practicing law with Thiess, Olson & Mecklenburger in Chicago and living at 140 Park Ave., Glencoe, 111. Bob and Ann Stoppford announce their removal from "one old farm to another" and hope their new address is permanent: Box 4.60, Old White Plains Road, Mamaroneck, N. Y.

GREASE-PAINT AND HORSE DEPT. (PSI U DIV.) Cap Palmer '23 of Walt Disney Productions kindly forwards some interesting notes about our actors. A clipping from last summer's Hollywood edition of Variety states that Bus Heydt has signed for the lead opposite Helen Hayes in the Rodgers-Hammerstein stage production "Happy Birthday" which was scheduled for rehearsal in New York in September. Sounds like very nice work if you can get it. (Note: The report is confirmed. The play opened here in Boston last night, October 3, and Bus is getting nice notices in this morning's papers. We'll give you an eyewitness report next month.) Another Variety clipping contains a fine plug for Charlie Starrett's latest Western, "Two-Fisted Stranger," one of a series which, to quote Variety again "has become box-office factor of not small proportions among oat operas." We heard from Bob Williams last spring that he had managed to relieve himself of a contract with Columbia Pictures under which he had to play parts in 57 pictures in two years, and that he was going to relax and free lance for a while. Wherefore art thou, Bobo?

PF.ERADE DEPT. Our personal fall schedule started off in high out in Worcester on September 28. The unexpected victory over Holy Cross was not a bit hard to take, but even more pleasurable was our first post-war visit with ex-Major Dr. George and Gladys Tully, whose hospitality, we might add, is out of this world. Last spring George ended four years of Army service during which he was the only specialist in urology on the staff of the Rhoads General Hospital out in Utica. This job kept him going seven days and three nights a week, which is too much even for a character as rugged as George, so he is still shaking off the results of a bout with pneumonia two years ago, although looking fine and with the same old sense of humor going full blast. The Tullys spent the summer house-hunting in Worcester, finally found an attractive apartment (144 Russell St.) into which they moved late in August, then left on a motor trip to Minnesota and way stations, primary purpose of which was a reunion with army associates at the Mayo Clinic. In Minneapolis they had a football round-up with Art Smith and Eddy Lynch '23, and in Rochester were surprised to bump into Obbie Barker, who was visiting his brother. After swinging around through New- Jersey for a family visit in East Orange they reached Worcester the night before the game. We exchanged handshakes with Hal and Marion Marshall in the Dartmouth stands, but caught nary a glimpse of such denizens of that vicinity as Sagendorph and Tilton, who were undoubtedly somewhere in the capacity crowd.

DON'T FORGET THE PICNIC BEFORE THE PRINCETON GAME!

GRIDIRON GREATS OF 20 YEARS AGO. These* Class of 1926 players, shown with their wives at reunion, will recall for many Big Green fans the days when Dartmouth was riding the crest of the national foot- ball wave.
