Nate Sherman's 600-mile trip in one day, from Toronto to Boston in order to make the night-before-Harvard-game Tenner re union, shows what values some Tenners p upon an opportunity to be with some "that old gang 'o mine." Our reference ill the abbreviated Tenner Topics to the fact that nany Tenners who live in the Boston area Toanot move the few miles to the University club while several who are many times the number of miles removed do get there, seems have registered with Nate. First thing he said was, "See if you can beat that 600 miles in one day to get here." And he said it with a show of that old spirit of the cinder-path of years past when you just knew he was saying, "I'll show 'em!"
We had the best Tenner turnout in many years. Our 1910 group was one of the largest representations possibly it was the largest among: the classes of our time who make up this combination dinner group. The roll of those present: Maurice Blake, Henry Collins,Charlie Fay, Al Ferguson, Ted Hill, Bonesjones, Bert Kent, Art Lord, Russ Meredith,Roge pierce, Heine Reed, Slip Powers, JackShambow, Ed Shattuck, Nate Sherman, JessWilson and Herb Woods.
Ed Shattuck proved one of the surprises of the gathering. Ed has had to pass up such affairs for some time but he broke away for this one. He was looking like himself and appeared to feel quite able to stand the strain Henry Collins gave in to the urge and made the trip from Lawrence. Treasurer JessWilson journeyed down —or should we say "up" - from Maine. Herb Woods, our former "Washington correspondent," rolled in on the New Haven from Deep River, Conn., and that ever Green Tooter from Holyoke, who keeps things moving in that Holyoke Dartmouth bunch, Bert Kent, made that trip to get to his first Boston reunion in many years. Our experienced arranger Bones Jones carried on in his usual quiet and efficient manner, including all the preliminaries, such as getting Charlie Fay prepared to loosen up with some of his great fund of stories. Football seemed to be on Charlie's mind and he and Bert Kent dug into their memories to bring up happenings when they played the game on opposing high school many long years ago. Shing Sherwin used his post card to say, "Sorry, but it's my 39th wedding anniversary night and at this stage of the game I guess my duty is with my good wife. Best wishes to all the gang." Some sixty-odd Tenners used the post cards. Some sent greetings, some said they would be at the dinner. Some said "No" period. Howard Bushway, the Tenner who made that big shipment of ice cream to Hanover in place of himself for the 40th reunion in '50, sent in a "Yes" card, but a trip to northern Vermont proved too time-consuming and he did not reach Boston until Sunday morning.
From Don Bryant: "Hope to make it next year after I retire, May 31, '54- Have had my fourth operation (July 13) and every indication I am at last really riveted together. Regards to all." From Cuba, Ted Smith sent. "Hello, Bones, how's things? Slap yourself on tile back a couple of times for me and do the same to Charlie Fay. Sorry not to be able to go North this fall but give my best to all the boys." Chet Scott, far from good old New England, wrote from Walla Walla, Wash., "Want fish? a silly question. I sure would go for broiled lobster or Eastern scallops surrounded by a big bunch of Tenners. Have fun and best regards." Another Tenner in that far-off country, Dick Carpenter in San Francisco, sent this: "Judging by last year's party, any one should think carefully before turning down this invite! But I have now holed in at 3825 Scott St., and the local Dartmouthers, especially Winsor Wilkinson, are such able hosts that I think I had best stick close here for the time being. A big
Dartmouth Night here next Friday and Wilk is aiming at a table of at least five Tenners. We shall order at least one round of Ward Eights in honor of the Brahmins of Boston."
As to that Tenner table Carp mentions, it developed into a foursome: Wilk, Fletch Rogers, Mai Bissell and Carp. Robbie Robinson was invited but was unable to make the trip from Guerneville. Leave it to Wilk to round up any Tenners in the vicinity! Beezle Parker gave us this news, "Have just got out of the Exeter hospital where I was de-herniad. Operation complete success." That old campaigner and Class Treasurer, Earle Pierce, regretted in this way: "Terribly sorry but health and doctor will not permit. Please give my best to whole Class and remember me to all of them. I sure hope I can see them soon but now impossible, according to Doc.
Our retired barrister in New York, BillTucker, wrote; "Quite by accident, Ed Shattuck, Slip Powers and I had a rump reunion on a wharf at Lake Winnipesaukee Saturday October 9 which was very pleasant. Both of them looked well." Thayer Smith and FrankMeleney, two of our active doctors, gave us news of new grandchildren. Thayer's is a son's son and Frank's is a son's daughter. It is the first granddaughter for Frank. Thayer added that his daughter was married September 12. Herb Wolff wrote that their fifth child, Richard '49, was to be married within a few weeks, "so now Daisy and I have ten children and seventeen grandchildren, and as to the latter we are very much in production." Harold Washburn tells us that son Wilcomb '48 is working for a Harvard Ph.D. in England on a Reynolds Scholarship from Dartmouth. He and wife traveled last summer in a Nash through Germany, France, Italy, Greece, Yugoslavia and Austria. Son John '45 has left his position teaching Russian at Dartmouth to work for the Government in Washington.
A letter from Bill Taylor dated Biloxi, Miss., October 15, says, "Easty reported correctly that X would be following the sun. My wife and I have kept fairly close to the Mississippi in New Orleans and are now turning East to Florida.... Have had mid-summer weather from Chicago south... looks as though we shall be leading a gypsy life for the better part of a year." One of Rev. Harold Winship's church bulletins has been received. It is an autumn's greeting containing three poems, Our New England, The Goldenrod, and God's Garden, written by Pastor Harold. A note from Joe Downey says he has had a poor year, been in bed lately. He sent along one of his new calendars for '54 which will be a useful reminder of Joe.
Registered at the Hanover Inn in recent fall weeks: Bill Tucker and wife, Phil Brooks and wife and Gay Gleason and wife. The Gleasons returned September i from a threemonth trip abroad and are now looking forward to two months in Florida. Rev. BillMoe's address at the Commencement of Groton, N. Y., High School has been printed in booklet form. This was in honor of his 60th anniversary of graduation from the school.
Address changes: C. E. Allen, 2920 34th St. N.W., Washington, D. C.; William B. Knapp, P.O. Box 229, Pittsfield, Mass.
