1919
Ed Fiske, sometimes known as "The Admiral," spent the Christmas holidays in Han- over. His two daughters are enrolled in the Hanover Inn Ski School and we suspect Ed found time for one of his special hobbies, Curling.
Batch, Chairman of the Alumni Council Committee on Class Gifts, has reported, through a bulletin to class agents, a fast-grow- ing Fund which reached a total of $257,695.01 on December 28, 1946. Many men are making gifts to the College in addition to regular Alumni Fund contributions, through the Dartmouth Class Memorial Fund.
The class of 1923 has made much progress in building a Memorial Fund and led all Classes with $38,823.38 as the '46 year closed. Our class, with $26,888.73, stood second on a list of twenty-nine classes.
Christmas Holidays brought greeting cards from many of you which are here acknowledged with warm thanks by the secretary. Nick Sandoe can be seen frequently these- days by those who lunch at the Dartmouth Club in New York.
Red Colwell and George Rand were very much in evidence with their wives at several egg nog and other parties that turned the holiday season into a fast-moving merry-goround.
A constructive Holiday activity, noted in Dartmouth-minded centers, took place, when selection committees interviewed promising applicants about to graduate from high schools and prep schools all over the country.
If Hanover can accept all the talented young athletes, musicians, actors and others who aspire to higher education midst the granite of New Hampshire, we can start placing small bets on Dartmouth teams of 1949.
We suspect that Hal Parsons of Brooklyn has a hot prospect or why would he ask for the exact addresses in Hanover of Messrs. McCarter, Larmon and Norton?
Bob Paisley has just returned from several months spent in India. He has been visiting the companies which the export concern, of which he is a partner, represents in this country. His older boy is a senior at Princeton.
Spider Martin has been appointed a member of the Advisory Committee of the New York State Institute of Applied Arts and Sciences. This institute was recently established by an act of the State Legislature of the State of New York.
We learned from Win Batchelder that at the height of the holiday season he ran into Bud Potter and Fat Jackson at the Dartmouth Club and helped them celebrate the opening of their new offices, lease for which had just been signed that morning. The new address is 59 Park Avenue, New York City, a few doors from the Dartmouth Club where they identify themselves as Russel H. Potter AssociatesPublic Relations Counselors.
Bud is planning to build a new home on a high-point of ground in Woodbridge, Conn., which overlooks the Yale Bowl and Long Island Sound Ray Adams was in New York in December and stopped in to see Batch for a while Chet Gale is busy raising money for two private preparatory schools of which he is a trustee.
Byron Long is at present way out in Vancouver, Canada, and sent holiday greetings to all his friends and classmates back here. Chet DeMond has joined the New England Society in New York. This venerable society, of which Batch is presently secretary and treasurer, was organized in 1805. Among other good deeds, the Society established Student Loan Funds at eight New England colleges, including Dartmouth. The Fund is administered by the Dean of the College. Membership in the Society is open to men of New England ancestry who are interested in perpetuating New England traditions and associations in New York City.
The Dartmouth of January 10, 1916, reported an easy victory over Goddard by the 1919 Basketball team. Among those who composed the starting line-up were: Bill McMahon, Art Palmer, Fred Laird, Hen Shields, and Bill Brown. Laird at center and Palmer at right forward led the freshman scoring, the former having six and the latter five goals to his credit. McMahon, the other forward and Webster, his successor, each showed fair ability, though neither had much success in foul shooting.
(Secretary's comment:—Have heard that neither of them have hunted quail, pheasant, or partridge since.) Shields was the best of the guards used in the game. None of the visitors displayed good form. Score, Dartmouth 45, Goddard 7. On January 22, 1916, the freshman line-up included Larmon, Pelletier, Carter and Hodgdon. The same paper, January 22, 1916, mentions the gym team and such names as Halloran, F.. B. Valentine, Lew Garrison, W. O. Lyon, Eastman and Stecher.
Winter Carnival opened February 10, 1916 and the show, "Kick In" was the attraction at Webster Hall. In the cast were: N. C. Bowles, Stewart Russell, D. L. Findlayson, W. Ruml Jr., and L. D. Milligan Jr. "Kick In" portrayed life in the underworld of Manhattan. (New York City still has one, according to the Daily Press.)
The freshman hockey teams were relying on Murphy, Paisley and Gale at goal to stop onslaughts of tough teams from around the Boston area.
