1911

1911 Alumni Fund still needs to hear from some of you swell guys. Thanks for being so prompt and generous. Sec'y Prof. Nat Burleigh, returning in August, will take over. Have enjoyed hearing from and being with you all. Flash-do not forget Mary Dodge and the Mountain View, starting Sunday, Tune 14. Hope to see you there.

Harold Card's daughter, Marion, enrolls at Yale Graduate School in September, to work for a Ph.D. Congratulations! The Brad Pattens have had a 16-day vacation in Guatemala -good! Rev. Dr. Bob Barstow recently spoke in Westerly, R. I., on "The Situation in the Middle East" grand! Rev. Dr. John Scotford is reputed the foremost authority on Protestant Church Architecture, having been consultant in the renovation of about 400 - wonderful!

Dick Chase retired and is busy in the cellar of his Osterville, Mass., home repairing broken furniture. (Maybe he is looking for trade.) Burt and Lillian Cooper spent five weeks in Florida ("building pep and energy"), and whilst there, Rolf and Peg Norris joined them for four weeks. (Maybe we should all reune in Florida-??) Helen Troy (Spunk's wife) is to spend a year in Italy good vacationing! Rick Castle "hopes in the not too distant future to visit John Schaupp's Sporting Lodge." Maybe we all should look up Judge John - ? Bob Barstow (Rev.) is back from the Middle East, having made a visitation for the National Council of Churches. You name the place and he was there - marvelous work for Christian Democracy!

Forty Years Ago

A. "The story reads: Leaving College, I, of course, demanded a period of rest, for my nerves and health were somewhat impaired from close application to my books during the year. (Laughter will be considered out of place). After remaining at home for a few weeks, I bade good-bye to the policemen and other intimates in Gardner, which is my home town, and in the way of information, and also to show that I am not opposed to publicity, I will add that it is the largest chair town in the world, and went to Keene, N. H., to join the Keene baseball club for the summer. During my stay in Keene, I was fortunate in having a former Dartmouth man in the person of T. J. Leonard enrolled upon the roster (sounds big leagueish, doesn't it?) of the same Club. I managed to poll the pill every so often through the safety zone, and Tom was hitting them so hard that he manicured the nails on the fences. Keene finished runner-up for the pennant in the Twin State League, being nosed out for the Rag by a full game. After the close of the baseball season, I went back home, and there took up temporary work in a store where I had first labored when in knickerbockers, awaiting an opening in Boston. This particular opportunity came in December 1911, and so I betook myself to Boston to blaze a path to recognition in the business world. Allow me to add that the path is not opened to any startling dimensions as yet. My work is chiefly that of a private secretary, and I have found it very pleasant and interesting. I am looking forward with great pleasure to June 1914, when I expect and am determined to get back for the Third Year Reunion, at which time I hope it will be my pleasure to grasp the hand of every living member of the class of 1911."

B. "With the other four 'xi men now in the wilds of Cleveland, 0., I join in sending greetings to the boys. Jack Ingersoll, Bob Keeler,Harold Judd and that indefatigable laborer Charles Stebbins, are the four I refer to. Jack is picking slivers out of boards with a local lumber concern. Bob is licking stamps with a bond firm, and Juddie is revelling in the joys of the 'two as one' life. I am answering the buzzer in an office with the Sherwin-Williams Paint Cos., while the Hon. Stubbie, sojourning temporarily in our midst passing incognito as a traveling man, draws his salary and expenses every week. Not only the '11 men, but the rest of the Dartmouth men in town are mighty close together and the lunches Saturday noon, about a big round table, are just about the big event of the week with each one of us. Each man brings his little bull and ties it behind his chair ready to lead out before the assemblage, whenever he can slide into the conversation. For a fine spirit of brotherhood, college loyalty, general cohesiveness, and of course, Fatima cigarettes, a man will have to travel some distance before he can beat the Dartmouth Alumni Association of Northern Ohio. In order to get publicity for the College, and to push Dartmouth, the bunch has fixed it for Bob Keeler to write special articles for one of the big morning papers, while Hank Hasserot pushes the same stuff on the other. During the fall, Bob posed as an expert on Eastern football, and as a result, Dartmouth crowded Yale for news space in what is distinctively a Yale town. We have found this a much better method of getting the College name into print than depending on stray dispatches from Hanover. We are working hard on the prep school men here and are going to keep on lining up a fine bunch for each entering class. Well, I close with the assurance that if any of you lads hit anywhere near the old town of Cleveland, 0., that you will receive the warmest kind of a reception at the hands of the Dartmouth men of the vicinity. Wishing to all the most unqualified success in your domestic and business life.

C. "Since leaving the dear old Campus, I have been controlling the expense destinies of the Wm. Filene's Sons Company of Boston. I can now throw a dollar two miles and a half and get back two. Business cares have changed me from the careless, nonchalant guy of college days to a dignified business man, holding the cares of the world on one shoulder. I had to do this, as this is a women's outfitting store, and I was afraid that the women would fall on the other shoulder if I did not look like a human pickle. Consistency in this role has finally given me a chance to talk to the deadlier part of the species at first hand, as I am now about to roam the world's markets in search of coats for 'chickens.' In order to become proficient in this line, I will have to actively measure, fit, and sell all the squabs that need a covering. We beseech you not to worry about us, as our vows of celibacy are still in working order, and we never fall unless we are pushed. I certainly miss the dear old days in the dear old College on the damned old hill. 1911 is actively represented in Boston, and especially in Filene's as 'Hoot Mon!' Willie Henderson is on the same floor with me. I am looking forward to our third-year reunion and to seeing all the 'Best Class' again.

D."I am with the American Rubber Cos., at 140 Essex St., Boston, and like my work very well. I see a lot of the fellows every day here in the city— in fact we hold a meeting about every noon at the Adams House. It certainly does seem good to see the boys, too. Occasionally, we go out and tear things up a bit, but you know Boston is a pretty solid old burg, so it stands the attack well. Now that you fellows know my address, a card now and then would not be amiss. At the same time, please don't forget that there is a little contribution of about one hundred cents, I believe, due most any time now. Better get it off your minds at once; he who hesitates is lost."

E. "There are three members of our class taking law at the moment at Chicago, GeorgeMorris, Harry Butler and myself. George is a freshman, while Harry and I are juniors. The three of us often get together and talk over the good times enjoyed back East, and each time we become more firmly convinced that there is no place like 'dear old Dartmouth.' Let me here extend greetings to every member of the class of 1911, and wish best success to each and every one."

F. "Since I started working about August 1, I have been on the continual go endeavoring to sell coal. My first attempt was in Arkansas, in August, with the thermometer hovering about the 100 mark. I didn't see a Dartmouth man from July till along in November when I happened into Quincy and was given the glad hand by Rick Castle. However, my headquarters are Chicago now, and I spend most of my time in the more civilized regions between Chicago and Omaha on the 'Q.'"

G. "I am employed by Bond & Goodwin of Boston. Have been on rather an extended trip to the great Northwest since leaving Hanover. Great country! Saw Duke Dunning with a fair young lady at the Chicago-Minnesota game. Spent part of the evening of the same day with Jack Ryan in St. Paul. He is athletic director at St. Thomas' College there and turned out a 'ripping good' football team. As far as any engagement or marriage dope is concerned, I'm innocent and expect to be for some time to come."

H. "Well, the first year out finds me basking among the smiles and wiles of the tropical maidens. I am teaching chemistry and athletics at the University of Porto Rico."

I. "Best wishes to all. Of course, it can't quite equal 1911, for that was some year, but this year Chuck or Skeet won't have a chance to give us a call, except a few grafters like Moon Scanlon and Mac Rollins, who couldn't find a job, so went back for second year Tuck, so we can at least be happy on that account. Am amusing myself this year, and I guess for a few years to come, in the heavy hardware business, trying to apply the benefits of a Dartmouth education."

J. "You had the wrong dope. I am teaching at Whitman, Mass., and taking a couple of courses at Tufts besides. Expect to get back to medicine next year."

K. "My line of work is selling Williams Shaving Soap—undoubtedly the best soap on the market. If the boys want a clean, cool, refreshing shave, then insist on Williams. It is a little different kind of work than keeping tabs on the Common's hash slingers. I sincerely hope we can all be back at our reunions."
