1910

REUNION 2 wks, 2 days from this ist day of June—it's not too late to send your reservation to Don Cameron, Hanover, N. H.— Don't Delay, Do It Today!

April was a rough month on 1910—JackRyan, who spent his major undergraduate days with us even though graduating with 1911, died from cancer on April 7—HenryHarrison passed away on April 15, after an illness of a few months—Jim Lowell died April 25. Aside from Jack whose obituary will be in the 1911 columns, we have no details on Harry or Jim—we are trying to get them for the Necrology Section deadline.

All three of these classmates were real men from their undergraduate days, and as could have been foretold, developed into the type of citizen which the world needs so greatly today. Our sincere sympathy goes to those who are left behind—with whom we all share some fine memories which will remain with us for the remainder of our own time on this sphere.

This whole Dartmouth picture is a farflung brotherhood—on the way north we ran across one of the Lincolns at breakfast in Daytona Beach—couple of days later a former Dartmouth faculty member greeted us at a little town in the Smokies—while at a filling station in Asheville, N. C., who should drive in but Win Snow '14, famed athlete of yesteryear—in Washington we ran across a doctor nephew of Tom Uniac with whom and his 'O4 fellow classmate and baseballer, Tom McCabe, we visited at their Reunion in Hanover last June for the first time in several years—and that is the way it goes. About any noon you can see "Beef" on Dartmouth athletics of yesteryear or today with Harry McDavitt, Art Shoppelry and Jack Ingersoll at Boston's Parker House.

Shorty Stern lives at 981 Glencoe Rd., Glencoe, 111.—Sympathy of the Class goes to Sid Bull and two sons in the loss of their wife and mother on April 12— Bill Moe's wife is recovering from a shock—Frank Flemings home address is 5 Jasper St., Beverly, Mass. —and George Underwood can be found at 125 Pearl St. in Gardner—Scott Perry is due from Buenos Aires for the Reunion—it would be nice if his three-year roommate and wellknown educator, Julius Warren, could come on from Missouri.

"I usually drive to Hanover sometime during the summer," pens Ed Kenway, "and drift around the College and countryside. The things that have stayed with me most deeply are the memory of Dr. Tucker, one of the great men of our country, and those inspiring chapel talks on Sunday evening. Do you remember the day he drove away from College, never to return, and the great crowd that assembled to wish him well and do honor to that great personality?

"At the other extreme I remember most clearly a water fight in June, '08 when BillMurphy pin-pointed a rather pompous senior from the top floor of North Fayerweather with a large water bag. I see Bill, Mac Stanton and Ed Loring from time to time."

Ed who transferred to M.I.T. at the end of sophomore year, ought to come to the Reunion and bring Bill and Mac with himonce a Tenner, always a Tenner—once a Dartmouth man, always a Dartmouth man!

We saw quite a lot of Dr. Harold Winchester during the winter—he's a great guy in our book—and he stands high in his area—it was very pleasing to make up our Rotary attendance at the Dunedin club over which he presided very ably as president—during the late winter he ran into some tough luck and had an ear removed because of cancer—yet within a short time he was presiding at Rotary again, taking care of his patients and maintaining his cheerful self—that's a kind of a fellow "Winch" is!

"REUNION? You couldn't keep me away, Dear Man," says a message from Lew Williams, Big Shot Chicago advertising agency man. "I'm disgustingly healthy—weigh a bit over 180 which is a good 20 lbs more than you ever saw on the Williams frame. And I'm going strong!"

A good Class Treasurer is measured by the endearments, salutations and cabbages that come his way—1910's "Money Bags", incidentally, has been invited to appear before the Class Treasurers at Hanover in May, and tell how he extracts—that you may judge his standing, we are submitting the following evidence, for good or bad:

"Shylock!" N. Cushman.... "Pierco, You Win!" Joe Graves.... "Squitch, You Old Cruller!" Doggo ...."You're a Plucky Rooster", Allen Dorr ...."May you live to be 100!", Joe Kinney ...."Tempus Fugits", Ol' Man Pierce talking to himself as he counts the shekels.

Brown Cooper and wife, who are coming to the Reunion, attended Dartmouth Holiday in Chicago, saw Cap Hedges, Dick Hursh,Mac Kendall—he visited Washington later, visited by phone with Art Gow who is working in legal department of Government-young Cyrus Cooper is freshman in South Side High School, Fort Wayne, plans to enter Dartmouth.

While visiting Cypress Gardens during the winter, we inquired for young Jess Hawley who had been a Florida Collegiate star performer in the famous aquatic sports of the previous season—we were shocked to learn that last May he broke his neck during a performance, had been in a hospital at Tampa since then with his body paralyzed below his shoulders, that his mother was living in Tampa to be with him and that his spirits were wonderful with hopes of recovery.

Word has just been received that Easty with a party of five other rabid ornithologists finally succeeded in locating and seeing two of the supposedly extinct ivory-billed woodpeckers in the Apalachicola River Swamp of northern Florida. For two days in near-freezing rain the party chased call after call, and drummings, too, in an effort to see the rare bird. Success rewarded their efforts to give Easty the greatest thrill of his long ornithological hobby career.

One of the real assignments facing the Class before Reunion is to get the Alumni Fund Quota raised—$8,940 is a lot of dough but with a little more help Andy Scarlett can hit the Top—judging from the extremely conscientious way in which he has been working, he'll be ready for a Long Rest if we don't make it—please send in your con- tribution as soon as you can—don't delay, do it today.

Now—So Long until June 16—come early and stay late—come for a few hours if you can't come for three days.

ROLLO G. REYNOLDS '10, for many years principal of Horace Mann School in New York City, is now living in Burlington, in his favorite state, Vermont.
