1904
HARVARD GAME ROUNDUP
The renewal of this Class get-together after a six-year war recess was a highly enjoyed occasion with Johnson, Rollins, Sewall, Sexton, Mower, Brackett, Webster, Charron, Moulton, Maguire, Lampee, Edgerly, Hobbs, Robinson, Austin, Witham, and Uniac on hand. One of the Hobbs boys came with Perc bringing the total to eighteen. Tinker Gale had planned to join us but the continuous threat of forest fires kept him at home Friday. He was able to attend the game Saturday but returned home immediately. An engagement in New York kept Matt from our gathering and the Harvard game. It's my guess that he still holds the record for constant attendance at Harvard-Dartmouth Games. Woods, Hinman, Slayton, Bartlett, Hall, Nichols, Brewer, Bolster, Andrews, Torrey, Logan, Brennon, Leddy, Tubbs, Woodbridge, Wylie, Wing, Maynard, Perry, Davis, and Durgin sent their regards and regrets. Maynard went to Hanover for the Penn game, Sam Wing was planning to attend the Cornell game, and Charles Davis was to be installed as King. We'll have a crown next year for you, Charlie. When Sid and Mrs. Rollins arrived at the game in seats near us, Sid said "We're going to see a game between two good honest college teams, and that's something to enjoy but hard to find these days."
The November 3 issue of the New YorkJournal of Commerce carried an article saying that John Kirker had been retired as of Nov. 1, 1947, as treasurer of the Fidelity and Guarantee Fire Insurance Company. This information comes from Tub Besse, '05 who hasn't seen Jack for several months, at which time Jack thought he would stay in Baltimore after retirement—Besse says, and we agree, Jack isn't the type to remain idle long so you may expect to hear that he is in business or mischief, more likely both, after a short vacation period. We would nominate Jack andRosie Hinman as roving '04 delegates to all Dartmouth gatherings between '01 and '07 with a report of all such visitations sent to the Secretary for rebroadcasting in this column.
The Lampee grapevine service contributes this bit of good news from Elmer Brennon; "I was married on October 24 to Mrs. Adelaide Hall of Arlington, Mass. She has been a widow for twenty years, we are the same age and expect to be very happy together. I am retiring from school December i, and we shall then live at 47 Chester Street, Arlington, Mass. We expect to spend January, February, and March in St. Petersburg, Fla."
The Boston Herald o£ October 16, said "Arthur I. Charron o£ Wellesley, Clerk of the U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals here since 1916, will retire on pension October 31 upon reaching the age of 65. Mr. Charron has been attached to the Clerk's Office of this Court for the past forty years. Graduated from Dartmouth College in 1904 and Boston University Law School in 1907. He was named Deputy Clerk of the Court in 1907, serving in that position until his advancement to Clerk nine years later." We would suggest that Ike "write a book" of some of the interesting and unusual court occurences he has observed, spiced with his characteristic story telling ability of a commuter's first forty years.
