1910

The spread of living as represented in a group of 1910's numbers and vintage is certain to be considerable .... with the credulity of youth gone, we are more inclined to pause and peace.... and seemingly less susceptible to the forensic charm of an out and out experimentalist.

In a discussion with President Hopkins some years ago we queried whether in living the average man had been too credulous, too disposed to place faith and trust in others .... his reply was that while we may receive some disappointments through faulty human appraisal and acceptance, yet if we were to live our lives over again, most of us would undoubtedly do just about as we did the first trip through in living with our fellow men.

1910 has not yet reached the stage of life where mental roamings in the past occupy most of our wakeful hours Sid Whipple, peregrinating journalist, has been in Tokio for some time and according to a message from the N. Y. World-Telegram, "his return to this country is indefinite." .... Vt. born Heinie Barrett, and longtime Detroit business doctor, fathered a bouncing baby daughter within the year Storm Josselyn, like many another, protests against the spread of Communism Caesar Young's emotions rose and fell with the Brooklyn Dodgers Walter Norton continues onward and upward in U. S. Rubber.... as does John Vander Pyl, another business tycoon, with American Machine & Metals.

Walter Phelps who did a summa cum laude job as an undergraduate, taught at Dartmouth, did graduate work at Harvard, earned his Master's at Princeton, adds some more interest in breaking his long silence: "Ever since the end of World War I, when I got out of the Army, I have been on the Technical Staff of the Bell Telephone Laboratories in New York City. In the main my existence has been uneventful but prosperous. We are getting old. I sometimes wonder what some of the old birds in 1910 look like.... guess I will have to go to one of the Reunions and get a look at them first hand. I am all gray myself but am not bald yet and have all of my teeth .... don't have to use any hearing aids and can still get around on my own power without a cane. Like most people I still buy stocks when they are high and sell them when they are low. Age adds no wisdom in that respect."

Herb Woods pens, "During Reunion I made two observations, neither of which was at all profound. First, most men of the Class are either very bald or quite grey. Second and to me more important, there seemed to be a spirit of comfortable contentment. That is to say, on one hand there was no ostentatious display.... and on the other there was no evidence of approaching indigence .... both of which pleased me."

1910's spread of living and experience is broad, natural and full of human interest.

KAY DYER is with War Assets Administra- tion in Portland Those who attended the Reunion vow they'll never miss another....

Howard Fogg lunched with Mac Kendall and Billy Williams in Chicago recently As did Juddy with Easty and Bill Taylor in Minneapolis Rollie Reynolds lives in Upper Black Eddy, Penn Norton Cushman had a grand time comparing mutual confusions with Doc Foster in Portland during the summer Alfred Moriarty, insurance broker, resides at 11 Timber Acres, Summit, N. J Who wants the assignment of identifying and numbering each person in the Class Reunion picture? .... Malcolm Bissell has retired and is operating a small fruit ranch with address Rt. 1, Box 40, Calistoga, Calif Ralph Abercrombie has moved to Cemetery St., East Derry, N. H.

CONGRATULATIONS TO GEORGE DAVIES on his election to Ohio State Senate.... George should make an excellent legislator.... for many years he has been in general banking business with the Peoples State Bank of Wauseon, Ohio.

FRESHMEN For a group of men crowding 60, we'd submit that few, if any, competitors can approach the number of sons which 1910 has in the Freshman Class at Hanover.... which added to those who have already attended Dartmouth, maintain the lead we have held for many years:

Class of 1950 David Fay, son of Charlie George Jewett, son of Irv Robert Smith, son of Thayer Richard Tobin, son of Clarke Robert Williams, son of Rusty

And the Administration has kindly listed with us, John Trickey, son of Charles Trickey who graduated from the Medical School in 1910.

But they are not all of our offspring around the campus....for Dave Kendall is back there and has been elected chairman of Cabin and Trail which is frequently referred to as the "inner sanctum" of DOC.....John Wolff is managing editor and Jack Jenness assistant managing editor of The Dartmouth....we

have heard that Thayer Smith's son Peter is back as is "Bennie" Benjamin....to keep the records straight, fathers should send in names of their undergraduate sons.

On this record business we'd like to suggest that Tenners give the names of their children and other children when writing us instead of just saying "my son" or "my daughter" or "Jim's boy"....for the archives of the Class do not contain a complete list of 1910's progeny as we have discovered when writing obituaries.... just give the names and it will help a lot.... and we'd like an avalanche of news about the youngsters.

THE CLASS OF '09 will be saddened by the news of the death of George Burns. Above is George as a student ready for a peerade.
