1910
REUNION—One more issue of the MAGAZINE, then our deferred 35th, on Friday, Saturday, Sunday, July 5, 6, 7, with Thursday, the Fourth, allowing an extra day of travel time.
Never since our graduation have we been blessed with such an opportunity for a real Reunion—and never again will we have our 35th. It's worth the grand effort this year to be there all or some part of those days.
The committee comprised of Else Jenness, Chairman, Charlie Fay and Bones Jones, aided as all committees are by Andy Scarlett, is very anxious to have reservations made promptly so that they may complete plans.
Hanover is still very much the Hanover of old, and with the disappearance of service uniforms, is rapidly becoming more so.
The envy of many another collegiate institution, the Dartmouth-HanOver product is an uncanny distillation of human life and educational experience on a New Hampshire plateau—that is distant from daily urban contacts and inouences-it breeds a college loyalty which has no equal in America. In answer to inquiries from
non-Dartmouth friends as to how they could develop such a devotion for their own colleges, my frank answer is always the same, "You can never do it—because you cannot live on Hanover Plain."
Hop, the master of understanding and experience in the college world, told me last week that the Dartmouth brotherhood is something very tangible and something which causes one Dartmouth man to give extra consideration to another Dartmouth man.
Our New York correspondent, in response to a fervid plea for items to make the April 10 deadline, uses his facile pen:
Former Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau is now ensconced in the labyrinthian New York office of his Exeter classmate and New Deal defender, Herbert Wolff, and is writing an autobiography. Obviously it will contain no actionable
Russell Palmer was 1910 whip for a large class table at the April 11 New York Alumni Dinner. The old leaper has recently been coaching fellow Legionnaires out Long Island way in surmounting financial hurdles leading to a new clubhouse.
Clinch McClintock contrives to put oyer that personality-plus stuff via telephone getting business for Scribner, the publisher. He can still throw a bag of water—and look innocent.
Obie Coleman was one of a dozen Dartmouth bridge experts qualifying for the semi-finals m the New York intercollegiate matches. As this is written, the Dartmouths look good to get at least one of their three teams into the finals late in April. Obie is no idle competitor in the cut-and-deal sport; being in the swimmingJsuit business, he has no compunctions about taking your shirt, or even your Pants.
Freddie Batchelor, erudite New York hotel greeter and raconteur, was haled to Roosevelt Hospital the other day for a check-up. An hour later city building inspectors were ordered in for a checkup of the heaving walls and cracked ceilings of the famous old structure. Freddy had told a couple of his famous French-Canuck yarns. Old man Carp, having heard most of the aforesaid yarns several times, is permitted by the authorities to deliver to the patient the whodunits and other classics—-without which Freddie would stage a temperature jump.
At the Minneapolis Dinner where, we are told, John Dickey made a very fine impression, 1910 was represented by Mike Elliott, Harold Benjamin, Ken Phelps and Bill Taylor—all of whom are expected to send in reservations for the Reunion.
There's another group who should come en masse-the lads from Chicago area-Paul Albert, Shorty Stern, Dolph Bressler, Bob Woodcock, Don Bryant, Don Greenwood, Mike Straus, Ray Sheets, Tom Heneage, Dick Hursh, Mac Kendall, Munroe Cole, Shorty Worcester, Ralph VanZandt, Billy Williamsand Warren Shaw is in Illinois.
It's a larger group than is generally supposed, without calculation.
Harold Robinson, just back from China, is filling many speaking engagements around New England Ernest Cushman lives at 6249 Scimitar Drive, San Diego. .... Mr. and Mrs. Wayland Wood spent some time at the Hanover Inn in March Jolln VanderPyl, executive vice president of American Machine & Metals, is back in the New York office after a real wartime record at the East Moline plant, and lives at Trinity Pass, Pound Ridge, New Canaan, Conn After four years in the A. A. F. and 5,748 hours of over-water flying, Capt. Jay Bushway was discharged recently Otto Taylor s partner, Capt. Leslie Mills USNR, has returned to O. F. Taylor & Co., after his discharge.
T-Sgt. James W. Ingalls Jr. was awarded a citation and Bronze Star, the presentation being made by Brig. Gen. Borden-citation reading, "S-Sgt. James W. Ingalls, as a member of a special commission under the Army Epidemiological Board, performed meritorious service from April to October 1945, in the Philippine Islands. He developed special techniques without which many of the studies carried out by this commission in its investigating of an extremely dangerous tropical disease could not have been accomplished."
Howard Bushway, non-aging golfer of note, pens, "I should be glad to donate 50 gallons of good, strong Frozen Pudding for the Reunion—and a golf prize if a tournament is run for Tenners" (Else Jenness, Charlie Fay, Bones Jones, please note).
Met Andy Scarlett hotfooting toward the Ad Building in Hanover last week—doing chores for the Reunion Committee.
Andy is one of those fellows who is always busy—and he always does a grand job in whatever he tackles. For he possesses in addition to high teaching ability an understanding of what must be done to obtain accomplishments. He would have made a very fine business executive.
One of the most appreciative things 1910 can do for Andy will be to subscribe promptly and generously to this year's Alumni Fund—doing so will save him work, worry and wear-and-tear. He's a swell fellow and deserves anything you can do to make his 1946 drive in our Reunion year a huge success.
Secretary, Canaan St., Canaan, N. H. Treasurer, 1 Weybosset St., Providence,R. I.
