1908

At this point it may be well to remind the brethren that the manna for this MAGAZINE has to be in Hanover a month before issuance. So, to be on time you must send in spot news a month before it happens.

Charlie Walker, our leading representative of Portsmouth, N. H., admits that he left his fuel business long enough recently to enjoy a trip to Pasadena where he visited his daughter and family. He says that he has no intention of retiring voluntarily, at least and certainly not from Dartmouth football games and gatherings. Art Rotch writes of a fall visit to Hanover together with Larry Symmes and Chick Currier and respective wives. There, they were filled chuck full of pep and information about the Bequest Program which Art allows "looks purty good to me." The Class will be interested to know those of '08 who have already made bequests to the College in various forms, are listed as follows Howard Cowee, Chick Currier, Harold English, Don Frothingham, Fred Hodgson, BenKnox, Art Rotch, Robbie Robinson, LarrySymmes, Art Soule, Mike Stearns, LarryTreadway, John Thompson, Art Sides, ParkStickney and one modest soul named Anonymous—tint's right. As the man said who was about to be hung, "This'll be a good lesson to me."

With sorrow, we report the passing of Wallace G. Carr as another classmate leaves us. Wallace died at Ridgewood, N. J., on September 3. The following notice appeared in the New York Herald Tribune of September 4:

"Wallace G. Carr, 67, consultant architect-engi- neer for Epple & Seaman, Newark architects, died yesterday at his home 526 Summit St. Mr. Carr was also with the Albert Kahn Architectural in Detroit. He was graduated from Dartmouth in 1908. Surviving are his wife, two sons, a daughter and three grandchildren."

The Ralph Crowley mystery is all cleared up and Ralph hisself done it. It seems that he and Margaret were in Cambridge for ten months but returned to the Islands in May of this year. But let Ralph tell It.

"Margaret and I returned to Cambridge in July '52 after being in Honolulu for two years. May 1, '53, we returned to the Islands and are living twelve miles from Honolulu in Aiea Heights. From our glassed-in living room we look out over Pearl Harbor and the Pacific ocean. To any and all classmates who may have occasion to visit the Islands a royal Hawaiian welcome awaits them here. My best to all the boys."

Stacy Irish sends greetings to all classmates and dares any or all to call on the Irishes between October 15 and May 15 at their Daytona Beach home at 287 Boylston Ave. Record this, you Florida travellers. RoscoeFrame is now teaching at the Dudley School, Roxbury, Mass. Our Secretary's correspondence with the widows of '08 regarding the MAGAZINE has brought in welcome and interesting replies from Helen Marsden, LauraMorey, Harriet Griswold, Genevieve Elwell,Ethel Baine and Florence Lunt, who also adds the interesting information that the Dartmouth Women's Club of Boston, of which she is a director, gives an annual scholarship of $1000 to the College. Funds are raised through various activities. What about a wah-hoo-wah? Pop Chesley's back from Europe and the Utica Observer recently carried nearly a full column of his talk to the Utica Rotary Club. He covered his experiences in the various European countries and it was good stuff. I'm sending it to Art Rotch and if you want a copy of his talk, I'll bet you will be able to get one from Art. I'll wager that the Sage of Milford will reprint it in the Milford Cabinet. Rotarians should particularly note.

Incidentally, Pop has recently been elected president of the Utica Rotary Club which with his job as secretary of the National Association of Concert Managers doesn't leave Pop with much time for the ladies, except such as Lily Pons, Bida Sayou and other artists.

Big news from Mike Stearns. Their wonderful son John (adjective mine), Dartmouth '49, has completed his tour of duty with the Air Force in Japan and has returned to the U.S.A. to be discharged as a first lieutenant and with a bronze star for meritorious service. He now returns to Harvard Law School for his third year. Mike adds, "Please note all '08 men, wives and friends are invited to our home in Wilton for a drink after the Yale game." Gosh, Mike, you've covered a lot of ground here. We're printing your good invitation even though it cannot be received in time for acceptance. But there is always a rain check. Ralph Currier of Milford, N. H., hasn't been feeling too well since his return from Florida, but, happily, his wife Mary who was very ill in the spring is much better. Ralph says that he was much cheered during the summer by visits from Art Sides and LeoMarshall. Dick Merrill sends greetings to the Class but says that "news are scarce." Can't imagine news being scarce with Dick around but maybe it's the soporific climate. Our loyal historian and travelling information-gatherer Syd Ruggles reports a phone talk with RogerHill but was unable to see him. Roger is with the W. E. Wood Cos. at 4649 Humboldt St., Detroit. Tell us some more, Roger.
