1905
One of the many rewards of being a class secretary is frequently to receive The Bulletin, written most of the time by that versatile gentleman, Albert Inskip Dickerson '31, Executive Assistant to the President of the College. Each Holiday Season he devotes an issue of The Bulletin to greetings to prominent Dartmouth men, written in the gay manner of Frank Sullivan, in his Annual Christmas Greetings in the New Yorkers to prominent Americans. Some of the verses from the January 1 number of The Bulletin, bearing the title, "An Indian Yell for the Team," are: On Dartmouth's snowy plain the top Of New Year toasts we pledge to Hop: At Rue Rope Ferry 29 The richest, greenest garlands twine. "He misses all who misses joy," Quotes he, still zestful as a boy Give joy, give health, give mightily To Hopkinses emeriti. To Dickey, John, who praeses est, A rousing pledge of Dartmouth's best. To Dartmouth's greatness strong pursued He'll give his best—and it is good. A brimming cup for Mrs. D.; Thrice more for little Dickeys three; And now come one, come all, come nigh— The flowing bowl for the alumni! For Doc O'Connor ring the chimes Of Red Cross and the March of Dimes. For Doctor Edmund Ezra Day May fortune come Cayuga's way.
Would that the space permitted giving you the entire "Indian Yell."
Here's hoping that this finds Bob Harding fully recovered from the illness reported in the January number.
Walter Nourse, the Frater in Urbe of Los Angeles, and Scouter for News in that region, reports that the address of Vernon Biggs is 450 B Oak Street in Glendale—not Los Angeles. Walter reminds me that Glendale is not within the limits of that beautiful, sprawling city of Los Angeles. Walter hopes to see us all in 1946 and extends a Happy New Year.
A fine letter from Jim Mullaly, Assistant General Attorney of the Great Northern Railroad, contains the welcome news that all of his children are home from the wars.
C. C. Hills is for a class Reunion in Hanover this summer. He reports the following change in Fayerweather Hall:
Some of the former residents of Fayerweather Hall would be shocked to note that the windows of this married students' headquarters are adorned with curtains, which gives an extremely odd effect. I understand that these daintily looped affairs are made from "Marquisette" or "Quaker Mesh." Coupled with potted plants and other what-nots they afford a striking contrast to the "Number 10" which preceded Fayerweather on this site.
The Merrimack County Alumni had its annual meeting at the Eagle Hotel in Concord on Friday, December 28, 1945, at 12:30 P.M.
Sidney C. Hayward, Secretary of the College, gave an excellent address on the changes in the College and the outlook for the fall. Judge Lawrence Duncan '27, secretary, was on hand with accurate facts and figures. Judge Leach '01 presided with his usual aplomb, and Herb Rainie '06 led the singing with his customary skill.
We regret that more '05 men were not present. Doc. MacMillan and the secretary were the only '05 men on hand. We missed especially Harry Preston and Jake Smith who usually attend.
We mourn the passing of Rainford G. Taylor. who was with us from 1901-2. The Alumni Office, which reported his death, was unable to give further information about the circumstances. His address in the General Alumni catalogue was 2346 Boylston, N. Seattle, Washington.
Secretary and Treasurer, 14 Holt St., Concord, N. H.
