1914

Early in September, Ed Leech received the appointment as Dean of Nichols Junior College, at Dudley, Mass. Charles E. Leech was connected with Jones MacDuffee & Stratton for 18 years, many o£ which he served as VicePresident, specializing in china ware for colleges. Ed, we understand, was the originator of the college service plate which has become so popular throughout the country. During the war he was a member of the Springfield Ordinance, Price Adjustments Board. Congratulations and a Wah-Hoo-Wah for Ed in his appointment, after one year's service as an instructor.

It seems a bit early to mention reunion, but let us be reminded that we do not have a reunion in 1949 which would be our normal thirty-fifth. Under the new plan, we reune again in 1950 with 1915 and 1916. Just do not get mixed, but start to plan now for 1950.

Bill and Mrs. Breslin recently announced the marriage of their daughter, Katherine Janet, to Mr. Robert George Sherding, on Tuesday, September 7 at St. Mary's Church, Rutherford, N. J.

Thorndike Saville represented New York University at the installation of the new President at Clarkson Tech. on October 8. We trust that trustee Sisson took care of all proper formality due a member of the class of '14, as well as several of the informalities for which Rufe is famous President Mart Remsen was laid up for a while this summer with an injured finger, which we trust is now healed

the Ernest Kivnballs spent their vacation at White Horse Beach in Plymouth JackConners was partially crippled with a bad back Charlie Batchelder enjoyed himself in the hospital during August, having an old hernia repaired Howard Potter attended the New England Water Works Convention at the Hotel Pennsylvania in New York last September, where detailed reports state that he seemed to be enjoying himself immensely the annual mid-summer gettogether of Drake and Potter somehow got washed out this year and-was greatly missed by the writer, who was so busy as a plumber, electrician, painter and carpenter that company was out.

The writer attended the foot-ball kick-off chowder dinner in late September at which Dartmouth and Yale Alumni were guests at The Harvard Club. He tried to uphold the honors of 1914 as its sole representative, along with a couple of '15ers and one '12er. It was a nice Harvard party, at which Tuss McLaughry spoke and later we sang one Dartmouth song. The rest of the evening was all Harvard with a smattering of Yale, except when Herman Hickman spoke, which was, perhaps, the real highlight of the evening.

A recent letter from Mrs. Pennell Aborn, asks that her appreciation be extended to the class for the book memorial created at the Library in memory of her brother, Ernie Sager. Similar replies have been received in the majority of these memorials but have not always been published.

A contribution was received in July from the widow of Phillips Haskell, to create a book memorial. Phil died in September, 1918, while serving with the Navy. The new'memorial book plan is working out very satisfactorily and is being copied by several other classes. It is still your privilege to send a check to the Class treasurer or secretary to establish a memorial for some close friend in the class who has passed on.

Among recent visitors at The Inn, have been Everett and Mrs. Barnard, Phil and Mrs. Coe,Bob Hopkins, Rufe Sisson, and Snatch Wilkinson.

Paul Applin is living at 2050 Hollywood Drive, Tallahassee, Fla. He may also be reached at Box 1233, his business address. You will recall that Paul is a geologist with the U. S. Geological Survey. Paul Howe is now connected with the Faraday Electric Corp., Adrian, Mich., and is living at Box 111, Sand Creek, Mich. Paul sure gets around, but we do wish that he would pay his rent and stay in one place. It is an awful job to keep up with these address changes.

A long letter was recently received from Col. C. A. Edson, now living at 807 Comstock Ave., Syracuse to, N. Y. "This has been a busy summer for the Edsons. To begin with, my younger daughter, Virginia, was married on July 31 in Brookfield, Vt., in the same balsam grove where Hazel and I were married. A lovely wedding. She had graduated from Syracuse University last year, after which she taught at the Gordon School, Providence, R. I. Her husband, Regis Deuel, a G.I., had just graduated from Syracuse and has a position with the Commercial Controls Corp., in Rochester. Dud Wheatley and Margaret were at the wedding." Immediately after the wedding, Carroll hurried home where his older daughter, Lucille, presented him with his second grandson, Andrew Edson Smith. "David, youngest of the children, has completed a two year enlistment in the army and has been admitted at Dartmouth, much to our delight. First reports from him were that he participated in the Freshman Outing Club trip to Mt. Moosilaukee and reports are enthusiastic." Aside from his Social Security work Carroll seems to be busy with church work and the reserve corps, but his special outside activity is collecting data for an Edson Geology which he hopes some day to write. He is President of the Edson Family Assoc. Ever since the war he has been working ardently for the strengthening of peace and freedom, through Federal Union of the civil liberty democracies. He is at present President of the Syracuse Chapter of Federal Union Inc. "I have done considerable speaking for Federal Union. Only through this program do I see a chance of giving Democracy a dynamic that will defeat Communism ideologically, and thus possibly avoid a third world war and only by such complete pooling of the strengths of the democracies can they effectively meet the ultimate challenge of the U.S.S.R."

As you look at the picture of Oscar and Mrs.Olson this month, can you picture those long white legs and terrific stride as Oscar flashed down the cinder path, 35 years ago? The picture was taken at the last reunion, shortly before Oscar's recent illness.

Have you started planning for the Sno-bird party? Already the reservation list is filling up with many old names and several new faces. Better get that order in now, in order that Sisson may know how much veal to purchase and that Conners can save out enough Rhode sland Reds to feed the crowd. They always bring along a little deer hair and a few pheasant feathers to complete the illusion. Rumor has it that Sisson, once a week, goes into the cellar and turns over a Potsdam cheese which has been curing since June for the occasion.

Hope to see you at the Columbia game. If you are there, be sure to drop in at room 312 at The Inn.
