1910
The closing date for Class Notes on September 10 is the impelling factor that causes us to brush aside accumulated cobwebs of summer months and maintain 1910's record of consistency in this MAGAZINE—if nothing more.
This retirement business is quite all rightearly in our life we built a mental desire to retire at 50, and might have if The Great and Prolonged Depression hadn't put us on the ropes, delaying the process a few years—as a matter of fact, if we were to live our life over again, we would toy with the idea of working like mad and pinching pennies so as to retire in the 40's—there's a lot of very enjoyable, constructive work which a man can do after he is retired and doesn't have to sweat over payrolls, taxes, labor problems and what not.
When you retire, the pressure is off—your time is your own—life can be very full and interesting, and extremely fluid in action and thought—we happen to be one of those fellows who believes that an active man can retire without dying—that the old bromide about dying in the harness isn't even heroicthere's no fun in being a professional or business man whose life has departed for unknown shores—it's far more satisfying to us personally to be a live Country Hick—but be that as it may be, individuals and their tastes differ, Thank Goodness.
1910 HARVARD PEERADE
1910 will hold a Miniature Reunion at The University Club in Boston on Friday, October 24, the night before the Harvard Game.
There has been a considerable feeling among Tenners that we should really stage one Bang-up gathering annually—the Harvard Game with its traditionally long line of Class dinners seems to be a logical spot, or at least, a starting point—and there's no reason why we cannot hold similar meetings in New York and Chicago.
Else Jenness is handling all details and will mail out notices—mark the date on your calendar—and let's get together for a nice evening!
Bucky Allen lives at 89 Woodland Road, Chestnut Hill, presides successfully over Rivers School, 436 Heath St., Chestnut Hill—OttoTaylor & Cos., certified public accountants, operate at 50 Broadway, N. Y. C.—Juddy was hospitalized in spring, is taking it easy at his home at 339 Second St., Cloquet, Minn.—The Herb Wolffs vacationed at Lake Morey—Dinnie Pratt has entered the bronze business in Long Island City—Bill Tucker has his office in 40 Wall St., New York—Lester Moses has been appointed selectman in Lancaster, N. H.
It's fun to identify individuals in group pictures of an ancient vintage—and you don't have to stick beards on the faces to become puzzled—just try it and see how you come out —the now famous 1810-'11 combination dug from the garret by the learned professor, Nathaniel Burleigh, brought many helpful suggestions from the countryside, not the least being contained in one of the non-frequent communications from Hankus Haserot, Pineapple King and Inventor of Kornlet, setting us right on the Crafts, Irwins, Dunhams and Hatches, all of whom roomed in Faverweather.
To start the year properly we should have another ripe, group picture. Will someone kindly send us one clear enough for use in the MAGAZINE—one that specializes in the sartorial arts of nearly 40 years ago?

Jim Ingalls died suddenly on July 22—his passing was a great shock to those who knew him well—of fine mind and character, devoted to his family, possessing unusual civic responsibility, Jim was a member of the Class who merited much praise from the rest of us.

Larry Bankart's son-in-law, Roger Eddy, who was an officer in the Tenth Mountain Division, saw service from Kiska to northern Italy, won a Macmillan Centenary Award with his novel "The Rimless Wheel" recently published by that company—partially written abroad, some of the manuscript was lost in the Po River, re-writ ten later, completed while he was in a hospital in northern Italy—AT. Y.Times gave it a two-colunm review.
Tenners visiting Hanover during the summer months included Fletch Burton, BonesJones, Charlie Fay, the Russ Palmers and the Wes Hunts.
We are very appreciative of the beautiful silver tray which the Class presented to us in May—you don't do a job like this for silver trays but somehow when one is given unexpectedly to you, the heart strings beat a bit more rapidly and you realize once again that it's pretty fine to have a flock of old friends scattered around the country—emphasizing friendships that have lasted and grown through four decades.
Secretary, Canaan St., Canaan, N. H. Treasurer, 1 Weybosset St., Providence, R. I.
