1907

There have been frequent inquiries during recent years about Tom Perry. The College has recently been informed that his present address is 373 Bleecker St., New York City 14.

The monthly 'O7 luncheon on January 30 was attended by the following: Smart, Tarbell, Stevens, Kitching, Cushman, Plummer, Pierce, Niles, Knight, Lane. This was Hobbs Knight's first appearance at the luncheon and he gave his assurance that it would not be his last. Those who have not yet come to these pleasant gatherings are cordially invited to do so.

No classmate is more loyal to his Class and his College than Bill Grimes. He spends his life writing about others, and has only now consented to write a few words about himself. Here they are:

"If I were a Bill Cunningham, there would not be enough room on this side to chronicle the data you request; but I'm not. I'm still writing sports for Mr. Hearst. Before the war, I 'covered' golf, football and hockey, and reluctantly (?) went to the Braves' and Red Sox training camps each spring. When the war came on, golf passed almost completely off the sport pages. So, I took to the road with the ball clubs. During my travels, I met but few Dartmouth men of our times, outside of New York. Did see Bub Coombs and Ashley a few times in Chicago and made a practice of sleeping out on Dutch Schildmiller's lawn during hot nights in Cincinnati. I have been lucky enough to spend considerable time up in Hanover, while allegedly on some sport's assignment, but I must confess after I'd pussyfooted my way down out of the press stand after the Cornell game last fall, you could have bought my interest in that hamlet for a song. Enjoyed the two class luncheons I was able to attend and believe you should publicize them in the ALUMNI MAGAZINE."

Last December Bill Cummings learned from Mrs. Albert P. Tibbets that her husband and our classmate had been ill and blind for fifteen months. Early in February Hermon Hill wrote the secretary that Dr. Tibbets had died on January 31 at his home in Chevy Chase, Md. Tibbets went to Washington immediately after graduation from Dartmouth, took his medical degree at George Washington University, and practiced his profession in the District of Columbia until illness forced his retirement. This classmate of ours was a leader in the Washington medical and surgical professions. He is survived by his widow and two sons, one of whom, William, is serving in the Merchant Marine, and the other, Richard, is a lieutenant commander and commanding officer of the USS Prentiss. Dr. Tibbets was a veteran of the first World War and was buried in Arlington Cemetery with military honors.
