1911

The death of Dave Swain referred to in the death notices in this issue will come as a great shock to all of his classmates. There were few men in the class who were more loyal and interested to share in class activities than Dave. In the words of a classmate: "I really feel that our class has lost one of its noblemen, a thoroughly faithful friend—always simple, sincere, sound and secure—a spirit that will live on in lives made better by his presence."

Sympathy is extended to Gov Jordan whose wife, Betty, died early in February following a long and painful illness. We shall remember Betty pleasantly from our association with her on her visits to Hanover as one of our regular reuners.

Those of you who read (and all of you should have) Carl Groat's masterful story on journalism in the February issue of the MAGAZINE will be interested to know that he has received many letters from classmates and that it seemed good to hear from many with whom he had not been in contact for many years. His address, incidentally, should be changed to 3346 Jefferson Street, Cincinnati 20.

Under the name of Jack Ingersoll, rub out Seal Peel and put in Clark-Babbitt Industries, Inc. of 75 Federal St., Boston, Mass. Jack has taken over the northern New England territory including Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, and western Massachusetts, handling a number of items in their Building Materials Division. Jack will maintain his home at 112 Newbury St., Boston, but look for him enroute as he expects to be on the road most of the time.

Burt Burbeck was in this country on a brief business trip but had opportunity to join up with a few of the boys in New York and Boston. Burt, as sales manager of teas and what else have you, with the Lyons Company, London, was here with other officials from his company lining up customers for the famous Lyons teas. Dutch Whitman's son, Jack, who is in Tuck School, told of having dinner with him in Boston and reported that he was in fine shape and related many interesting experiences of the past few years.

Heinie Chase has settled down at Biloxi, Miss., to enjoy his retirement and may be addressed at Box 656.

Doc Wyman is still on the wing but has come through with a new address as follows: Special Services MARBO, APO 246, c/o P.M., San Francisco, Calif Rolfe Bond who is one of the more recent subscribers to the ALUMNI MAOAZINE has moved to Santa Rosa, Calif., and his post office box is 52.

Bill and Dorothy Gooding have taken a month off to go south as far as New Orleans for about the first real vacation that Bill has taken since joining Dartmouth College. The main object of this trip was to attend the wedding of his son, John, to Ethel Rogers in Lake City, South Carolina, on February 14.

A few classmates have thoughtfully kicked through with a few snapshots, so we shall have something at our masthead for a few months anyhow.

John Coggins sent one of himself gazing upon the Horace Greeley Statue, City Hall Park, New York, and also one of his attractive daughter, Marjorie, in her lieutenant's uniform. She and her sister, Barbara, are on the Nurses' Staff at the Veterans' Bureau Hospital in the Bronx. Jack Jr. is a sophomore at the University of Pennsylvania.

From Chuck and Emma Emerson comes this message:

If you can picture Christmas on the 4th of July that is us. It is very pleasant to have bananas, roses, orchids and many tropical plants in your yard, but for a couple of rugged New Englanders it takes a foot of snow and a howling wind to make Christmas the real thing. Here the Christmas period consists of a prolonged string of church festivals and many parades, and for the peon a continuous spree from a murderous type of home brew. All business is at a standstill from December 20 through January 7. We are going to be in the States during May, June, and July. For me it will be close to continuous trout fishing.

Doc Bond enclosed a few pictures of the Reunion, at least one of which will appear shortly and maybe someone will be surprised —just wait and see. With this came the information that lgners at the Dartmouth Boston Dinner were Beane, Briggs, Chamberlain, Josh Clark, Bond, Stucklen, Les Gibson, Farrell, Schell, Paul, Jordan, Crooks, Wilder, and Pendleton. That certainly is a good turnout for 1911.

Bostonians will recognize the "Tub Thumpers" as a notable local institution composed of public spirited citizens who are engaged in boosting business. Gay Farrell was honored by them last month in company with Director Koussevitsky of the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Gay's citation was in behalf of his outstanding accomplishment as president of the Perkins Institute for the Blind.

CARNIVAL ORIGINATOR Fred Harris 'll was one of the spectators at the slalom event at Oak Hill during the 37th Winter Carnival in February.
