1910

"Time marches on and takes its toll every year now," writes General Grant from Manchester, N. H., "and we are thankful for our own good health at this time." The truth of this is emphasized by the record since your new scribe took over. There have been five obituaries to prepare for the In Memoriam section and we have been thankful for HapHinman's file of answered questionnaires. Reference to these has helped provide correct information and make possible a more complete memorial note. No one knows the answers better than the man who completes the questionnaire. Then we have authentic information. This is another bid to Tenners who didn't give us the true story. Send for another blank to be filled out. Do it now.

Art Gow and Frank Fleming passed away recently. I£ you will look through your 1910 Aegis you will find Art's "ACG" on many of the illustrations. That was his hobby during college days. Frank Fleming was with us only until midyear as a sophomore when illness forced him to leave. He contracted rheumatic fever while working in the local laundry. Although with us so briefly, Frank was an enthusiastic Tenner. Both men's records, with that of Dick Vincens, appear in the In Memoriam section.

In his picturesque language that has made him a most successful and "highly awardable" Class Treasurer, Earle Pierce reports that about one-third of the Class have come through with checks in answer to his call. He says there's room for improvement. His "invoices" dig up news, and you Tenners who have yet to remit, please make use of Earle's "fee" paper to jot down an item.

Advertising specialist Lew Williams was advertised "for rent" in the August issue of Industrial Marketing. Headed by a true likeness of our Lew was the detailed story of his "connections" which prepared him for his rentability. Lew surely has had a broad experience in his field. Herb Wolff took part recently in the funeral service of his senior partner, Lawrence Greenbaum, paying tribute in a eulogy to the associate with whom he had been intimate for 40 years as "a fellow student, law partner and warm friend."

Harold Winship's sermon on "A Man's Life" was printed in the September issue of The Upper Room Pulpit, a national Methodist publication. Thayer Smith has one son in the Navy and two in the Army. Four of his five boys are graduates of Dartmouth, the youngest in the Class of '51. Ben Ames Williams is "seven fathoms deep in another novel." Jack Richmond, who was stricken with a coronary occlusion in June and hospitalized for 11 weeks is coming along well now. During the summer his son Jim, with five officers, was awarded the Legion of Merit by command of General Ridgway. Ned Loveland, our dairy specialist who believes in grass roots promotion, is undertaking the formation of a Vermont Dairy Council to develop wider use of milk in the home of the Green Mountain State. Clarke Tobin spent the summer a victim of virus pneumonia. He expects to be back on the job soon.

Ed "Dootsch" Dusham, head of the department of Zoology at Pennsylvania State College, retired August 31 with emeritus rank. Ed received his M.S. degree at Penn State and in 1924, his Ph.D. at Cornell. He spent over 40 years in teaching and administering research, 36 on State faculty. Owing to his wife's illness, his plans for the future are uncertain, but he "hopes to get down to Florida this winter where I can pitch horseshoes, do a little fishing or maybe join the baseball team composed of men over 80." Our congraulations on Ed's long and successful career and we hope he makes the ball team—in due time.

George Gonyer hasn't been much in evidence since graduation, as far as other Class members are concerned but he does see GuyPerry once in a while as Guy lives not so many miles away. George is in the Derby, Conn., branch of a Bridgeport investment banking concern. Bones Jones handled arrangements for 1910's part in the big alumni reunion night before the Harvard game. The Ed Lorings toured Vermont for vaction and topped off the tour with a stop at Hanover and a visit with the Scarletts. John Finn, retired teacher, is "still able to swing a hammer and push a saw and spend a lot of time repairing old buildings" on his place at Wallingford, Conn. Wilk Wilkinson as secretary-treasurer of the Dartmouth Outing Club of Northern California, recently reported to the association members that the cabin on Lake Mary is "habitable and ready for use." Wilk had a large part in designing this cabin and spent some time living in it during the summer. JackBates, the Tenner Oklahoma Kid, has finally reported to his old roommate Earle Pierce. He has another grandson, recently arrived, and this, says Jack, "makes a total of seven, both genders."
