1919
The annual Boston Alumni dinner took place on March 7 at the Copley Plaza. 1919 was represented by a fine crowd which included John Shelburne, Doctors Bill White and Henry Clay, Rowland Pollard, Herb Fleming, Al Googins, Jack Reilly, Spider Martin, Jim Stone, Morris Freedberg, Ray Hinds, Nock Wallis, Tom Reilly, Phil Bird and Rock Hayes. Further news from the Boston gang notes that Tom Reilly has been in Florida for
a month and that Mary and Jim Davis have been laid up with the prevailing bug, but are coming along fine. This doubtless accounts for Jim's not attending the above mentioned dinner, which he rarely misses. Versatile PhilBird, not content with the operation of M. T. Bird & Company at 39 West St., has written the lyrics for a new song entitled Puppet Love. In a note to the Sec. he .states—"Thanks very much for the annual gesture. Whether it is advisable to call these milestones to one's at- tention at this date and age, I am not sure, but realizing .. . the spirit intended, I cer- tainly tender my sincere thanks."
The Westchester County (N. Y.) Alumni Association staged a smoker on March 15 at the Apawamis Club in Rye, which brought out an excellent turnout of Dartmouth men, young and old, and was a credit to the new associa- tion. Sig Larmon 'l4 introduced President John Dickey, whose talk on both College and current affairs, was most enthusiastically re- ceived. 'lgers present included Harry Col-well,Win Batchelder, Bill Smith, Paul Halloran,San Treat, Dr. John Moore, Ray Legg (whom we all welcome back to New York) your Sec. and Ken Huntington, who has been secretary of the Association and a great help in getting the organization in shape. Ken and Marge, as these notes are being scrambled together, are at West Palm Beach and Ken writes about "a pleasant tour with stops at Richmond, Myrtle Beach, Charleston and Summerville.. ..
Stopped off at Ponte Vedra Beach and saw Norm Sterling's wife Elisabeth and daughter Barbara, who will be married in Jacksonville April 12 to a Jacksonville boy now in the Army at Columbia, S. C., Fred W. Burdick. Barbara attended Wheaton College—same class as our daughter-in-law. Norm has a very lovely ranch- type, Spanish design stucco house with a patio looking off on the ocean .. . built last Mav, located about six miles south of the Ponte Vedra Club." Thanks, Ken for the news of your trip and of Norm and Elisabeth.
Ax Warden's father, Oliver Sherman War- den, passed away at his home in Great Falls, Mont., on March 12 and the class hereby ex- tends, belatedly, its sympathy to Ax and the family. Mr. Warden was born in North Haver- hill, N. H., in 1865 and was a graduate of the College in the class of 1889. He was a key figure in the development of the West by reclama- tion, and as a publisher, public spirited citizen and Democratic National Committeeman, served his adopted state with great distinction up to the time of his death.
Jack Clark, insurance man of Concord, Mass., and Boston, writes (obviously before March 15),
"Am so confused trying to take all my deductions and stay out of jail at the same time that I decided to stop for a moment and drop you a note about Champ Clements. It seems that our good friends the Trumbulls who run the Country Store of Con- cord, with a couple on the Cape, decided to ex- pand further this winter and open another at Sara- ?a* Locke and his pretty wife Marv (Trumbull) run the store here, another daughter and husband run one in Aspen, Colo., and now we have good old Champ running the one in Sarasota. This is good news, for the Country Store is a sort of an Abercrombie and Fitch of Concord, and right up Champ's alley. I can see him now, all decked out in chamois vests, tartan plaid jackets and the rest of the super-stuff that they sell. I am sure he will do a swell job for them and was delighted to hear about it. ..
So are we all, Jack, with thanks to you for the letter and best wishes to the Champ in his new work.
Stan Mauk, the big lumber man of Toledo, refutes previous articles in the MACAZINE re- garding the Princeton game last fall, and that only Navy 'lgers made the grade. Incidentally, your Sec. has decided that the best way to get news out of you aging classmates, is to make a statement that no one went anywhere, and then let the protests come in,—"l was there," like Kilroy. Stan states, "I was certainly upset at the articles in the March ALUMNI MAGAZINE implying that only our ex-Navy classmates were successfully able to navigate to and from last fall's Princeton game. As a retired flying K. P. from the Army Air Corps, I had no trouble whatsoever in making the trip, and what is more, sat in the stands during the en- tire game, which is something." More from Stan in the next issue of the Smoke Signal, and it is assumed that Messrs. Fiske, Munro and Halloran feel properly taken down.
Bri Greeley notes that "the birthday card from the class is most welcome. It is a nice custom and whoever began it deserves a lot of credit for thinking it up Sorry that I had to miss the Westchester party but hear from Dr. John Moore that it was a bang up affair."
From Davidson, N. C., Prof. A. V. (Goldy) Goldiere writes that his teaching keeps him very busy, but it appears that he still finds time for outside activities being President of the local Lion's Club, and also president of the Men's Club of the Davidson College Pres- byterian Church.
A word from Norm and Ruth Jeavons, at long last, came through in the guise of a post card from Buenos Aires, Argentina, indicating that the Jeavons are on their annual tour. The message was brief, "This is a helluva long way from Hanover!!"
Other winter travelers were Jim and PollyWilson. Jim, as most of you know, is head of the Salem Tool Cos., Salem, Ohio, now entering its 50th year in business. "Polly and I enjoyed several weeks at Montego Bay, Jamaica, and want to recommend this spot to anybody seeking ideal weather, ideal bathing, good food and a lazy life. We had a perfect flight from Cleveland, and took only eight hours from Montego Bay back to Cleveland, with a one hour stopover at Miami. After a taste of the Caribbean Islands, we are already making plans for next year to see the rest of them by plane...."
Art Havlin, of the Boston Edison Co. and Weston, Mass., welcomes his new neighbors, Jim and Mary Davis. Jim's house is "only a stone's throw from mine." He also notes the appointment, previously mentioned in the MAGAZINE, of our own Dennie Sullivan as Commissioner of Insurance in Mass. All the Boston '19ers welcome Dennie back to Boston, and wish him the best of everything in his new job.
San Treat, as was previously reported, is back East permanently, and is re-establishing himself in the insurance field, after ten years in the beverage industry. He was a director of the Coco-Cola Bottling Cos. of N. Y., founder and president of Dr. Swett's Root Beer Cos. and the Squirt Cos. of Canada and latterly, distributor for Ballantine's Ale in Los Angeles. San's new office is at igi William St., New York City and he and Jane are living at 531 East 20th St. San's picture appeared in the Wall Street Journal of March 14, with a nice write-up of his new work.
The New York crowd, in lieu of the annual dinner, had a party on March 30, at the 7th Regiment Armory in New York, that, from all reports, was a great success. The class was represented by a really fine gang which included Ed and Jessie Fiske, Gordon and JanetMullen, Bill and Mrs. Smith, the DeMonds,Paul and Catlierine Ha'iloran with son Dick '5l and daughter Joan, Lou and HarriettMunro, Nick and Dot Sandoe, Harry and LilColwell, Tom Bresnahan and the new papa, Clarence Buttenweiser. From Harry Colwell's report, the old timers had a fine time for themselves.
