1927
It doesn't seem possible that another month has passed, but here we are with another deadline to meet and very little news received. To be sure, you have not as yet read our pleading words in the October column, which words, we are still confident, will bring us enough news during the next month to fill this space for the balance of the year, we hope.
What with the return of the Harvard game to Cambridge, the Class will resume its annual cocktail party and luncheon the day of the game. This year it will be held at the Hampshire House, 84 Beacon Street, Boston, on October 25. The Hampshire House has recently opened under the management of a Dartmouth graduate, and it is hoped that this most attractive and well-appointed hotel may be the centre for many future Dartmouth gatherings. The Class of 1927 has the honor and privilege of holding the first Dartmouth party at the Hampshire House, and we have asked the Class of 1929 to join with us. The committee for the luncheon is headed up by Don Gardner, with Phil Fowler, Rog Salinger,Bob Williamson, Bill Cusack and CharlieBartlett. We also have a ladies auxiliary committee with Pal Fowler, chairman, Betty Cusack, Barbara Bartlett, Kay Gardner, Marie Arnold and Midge Salinger.
A nice letter from Frank Coulter informs us that his older child, Nancy, has enrolled this fall as a freshman at Wellesley College. Next year, his boy, Lee, will come on to Dartmouth, all of which should attract the senior Coulters back to the east coast on frequent visits, which will be much to our liking. Frank reports that he hated to miss the Twentieth, but that for reasons mentioned above he had to stick to the grindstone. The Coulters enjoyed a visit from Sykes and Helen Hardy when they were on the coast last spring. Frank is still representing the Frisco Line on the west coast and he's living in Los Angeles. He reports that golf is one of his major hobbies. We recently received the following unique announcement: ANNOUNCING THE WINNER!

Gordon Hope has returned to his native New England and is living at 100 South Pleasant Street, Hingham, Massachusetts, with his wife and daughter who is a grown up young lady. For 17 years, Gordon was Southern Representative of the Tennessee Eastman Corporation, subsidiary of the Eastman Kodak Company.

During the war he served as an officer in the Navy, first as Executive and later in command of an LST in the Pacific area. He now returns to Boston as an associate in the official family of Gilman Bros., Inc.—the largest wholesale druggists in New England, New York State and Pennsylvania. Gordon's father is president of Gilman Bros., Inc., and Gordon's title is—Assistant to the President.
Chuck Burwell has recently received a fine promotion as general agent of the Aetna Life Insurance Company in Portland, Maine. Pleased as we are with his promotion, we cannot help but regret that it means he and Olive and their three fine boys will soon be leaving Boston, for he takes over his new responsibilities on October 16. Upon graduation from college, Chuck went to work for the Aetna Casualty and Surety Company, spending a year in the Home Office Bond Department. Following that, he was in St. Paul for six months and then went to the branch office in Grand Rapids, where he served successively as Bond Special Agent, Asst. Superintendent of the Bond Department, and Superintendent of the Branch Office. In 1936, he decided to get into direct production and became a salesman for the Aetna Casualty Agency in Grand Rapids where, in addition to other lines, he began to write Life Insurance. By 1942, Chuck had decided to specialize in Life Insurance and joined the sales staff of the Herbert W. Florer Agency of the Aetna Life in Grand Rapids, where he remained until 1944. In ] 943, when Mr. Florer was made General Agent in Boston, he offered Chuck an opportunity to come on to Boston where he has been Assistant General Agent for the past three years. In 1945 he attended the school in Agency Management conducted by the Life Insurance Agency Management Association, and now he goes on to greater opportunity and responsibility. As Chuck puts it: "Judging from all I have found out about it, I will finally have to go to work."

An important piece of news which should have appeared in the October issue was announced last June shortly before Reunion. Larry Duncan, who has been practicing law in his native New Hampshire since graduation from Harvard Law School, has been made Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the State of New Hampshire.
Harvard Law School has recently proposed establishment of a "Treasure Room" as a memorial to alumni on the school Honor Roll. Among those listed for the Class of '30 is Bob Reinhardt. It is proposed that the Honor Roll, consisting of those who died in both World War I and 11, be engraved in marble about a memorial doorway to the room which will be constructed in Langdell Hall. The room itself is to be used for the preservation and display of ancient books, manuscripts, and incunabula which are now unique and irreplaceable.
Howie Mullin, who was back at reunion and looking as young as the day he graduated, is manager of sales in the St. Louis district for Carnegie-Illinois Steel Corp.
