1909

Short rations this month. Charlie Widmayer, the main stem of the ALUMNI MAG, says there's Alumni Fund matter to be covered in Class Notes, to brief the regular column as much as possible. That's easy. I can take a leaf out of Craven Laycock's book, the time he was the official representative of the College at the Chicago Alumni Association annual banquet, back in February, 1925. Russ Palmer '10, who was then president, was approached by some young Dartmouth guy, who had been on a bumming trip around the world, and who asked for a few minutes to address the gang. Russ agreed.

After the preliminaries, such as the election of the new slate of officers, and a rather late start in getting dinner under way, the evening was rather well along when Russ called on this guy. Instead of having anything interesting to say about what he saw and encountered, he merely gave an itinerary of his travels that went on and on for the better part of an hour. The audience was at full yawn when it came Craven's turn—just about 11 bells.

Craven got on his feet, looked at his watch, and said, "Gentlemen, I am fully aware of the hour. I thank you for the honor of being your principal speaker." Then he sat down, having made the shortest Dartmouth speech on record.

That Junket East

Sure enough, I was able to get away for a few days for that trip to New Jersey and a visit with my sister Mildred, son John and his fam- ily. Good weather the whole ten days, except for one day of rain the second day out. On the way home I thought I'd look up our class- mate Dutch Klopp, who hasn't been back to Hanover since we graduated. His address in the latest directory is Shillington, Pa., just south of Reading.

I arrived in Shillington about noon and went into a diner to grab off a feed bag. Not being familiar with street locations, I asked the manager where Wyomissing Ave. was and whether he knew anyone by the name of Valentine Isaac Klopp. He said, "Sure, he lives right next door to me. As a matter of fact, his wife keeps my books."

It turned out that Dutch works in Reading for the Berks County Trust Co., so I looked him up there. He's readily recognizable, snappy black eyes, a full head of hair, somewhat grey. He didn't recognize me until I identified myself. Dutch has one son, Fred, 32, a graduate of Lehigh in chemical engineering. He must be a whiz in his line for he's in charge of the chemical department of some big outfit in Princeton, N. J.

Dutch, who was 71 on November 27, was the oldest guy in our entering class. Later on, the two ministers who joined us beat him out in age. Al Hill, who'll be 85 next January to, retired, is living in Hartford, Conn. GeorgeGoodwin, who died in 1943, was born April 12, 1865. Dutch is the kind of a guy who'll live on forever and nobody'll be able to guess his age. That's the way it goes with those hardy Pennsylvania Dutch.

French-Morey Nuptials

From several different sources—PresidentBob Holmes, Doughty Al Newton, and an engraved announcement—comes news of the marriage of Lucy Mann French, daughter of Bertie and Hazel French, to Douglas Morey Jr. on Saturday, October 13. The knot was tied at St. John's Episcopal church in Sandwich, Mass. Lucy is a graduate of Boston University College of Music. She has been organist, choir director and church school supervisor in the church where she was married. The starry-eyed couple will make their love nest in West Medford, Mass., the home town of our distinguished classmate, N. RudolphCatharin.

Seventeen men, reports Bertie, gathered at the University Club the night before the Harvard game: Curly Blake, Dr. Wilbur Bull, EdChappelear, Cad Cummings, Mike Farley, Ingie Fearing, Bert French, Herb Hawes, BobHolmes, Sandy Hooker, Plum Leighton, Anson McLoud, AI Newton, Hal Pratt, Art Swenson, Gordon Weinz and Joe Worthen. After dinner President Holmes explained his new job as class representative on the Bequest Program. Chappelear and McLoud discussed the West Point-Dartmouth game, which they saw.

Ed Chappelear (he's going places and seeing things since his retirement), Cad Cummings,Al Newton, Art Swenson and Clark Saville were in Hanover for the Syracuse game; and these couples (the plutocrats) were reported as stopping at the Hanover Inn during October: Mr. and Mrs. Ben Dudley, Mr. and Mrs.Bob Holmes, Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Wing, and Dr. and Mrs. Bill Holzer.

Herm Dillingham was in Sandwich on October 6 to dedicate a plaque to the BostonSandwich Glass Co., which originated the idea of split molds for pressed glass which have made mass production possible. Mrs. Bertie French reports that he made a right nice speech.

Pastor Phil Rose, who was confined in the hospital during July and August with a coro- nary, had recovered sufficiently to take up preaching on October 7.

Phil Cole has temporary residence at 46 Main St., Bridgewater, Mass.

Art Sporborg and his little woman were last heard from as being busy with landscaping the grounds of their new home on Big Cove Pike, Huntsville, Ala.

Dick Lord reports that his wife Phyllis is in the hospital with a broken hip, and that he has another grandchild.

We're all sorry to hear about the death of Karl Hammond,—another gentleman of the old school gone to his reward.

Do your Christmas writing early, mates.
