1911

A letter from Mary Dodge Silk refers to the hectic days of a full house in the last days of the season, along with preparations to close for the winter and her return to join Tom at Cornell. The important word for all of us in this connection is her restated desire to have us join all the Dodges, as usual next June, but more about that later.

Word from Chuck Bush expresses his regrets at not having come to reunion, but explains that the man with whom he was coming changed his mind at the last moment, which left him high and dry. Chuck is living in South Yarmouth, Mass., where he says he leads an easy life, but must confess that he is enjoying it.

Chub Pease has written that he has moved into his new home, which at last word from him was just being finished, and he was enjoying helping getting the place in order. He reports a brand new granddaughter, born last April, bringing the number to two boys and six girls. His new address is 1712 North 82nd St., Seattle 3, Wash.

You will all be interested to know of the fine memorial which has been established for Ray Taylor. It is a memorial fireplace in the cabin of the Dartmouth Outing Club of Northern California at Donner Summit. On October 9, President Dickey was present to dedicate the memorial. Ray was the cofounder and first president of the club. Donner Summit is about a six hours' drive from San Francisco and one hour from Reno, Nev. The ceremonies consisted of the unveiling of the fireplace, the lighting of the fire, the placement of certain mementos, with the memorial plaque being set in place by President Dickey. The Haywire Orchestra, of which Ray was a member, rendered the selections. This fireplace was made possible by contributions from a few of Ray's friends, and any members of the class who would like to make a contribution to this fund, which still lacks the full amount necessary to pay for the memorial, may do so.

Another goodwill act on the part of 1910 was an offer from Ed Shattuck of a 1911 Aegis. In disposing of Slip Power's Dartmouth Library, he found a copy of the Aegis, which he has forwarded to me. I will be glad to send this to the first member of the Class, who has lost his copy, that gets the word to me.

On August 20, in Newton Highlands, Jean Ethel Macomber was given in marriage to Donald J. Phillips of Waltham. The couple will make their home in Framingham.

Art Stevens, who lost his wife a few years ago, in May married Mrs. Carolyn R. Chick, who is a Wellesley graduate. They are living at Art's home, 21 Ridge Road, Concord, N. H.

Fred Harris has continued his winning ways in sailing. Out of four regattas which he and his crew, including his wife, Helen, entered, they won the New Hampshire Championship on Spofford Lake, the annual Lake Winnipesaukee Championship, the State of Maine Championship on salt water at Portland, Maine; and in the New England Championship on Lake Bomoseen, Vt., he placed third, which qualified him for the International Lightning Championship at New Orleans, La. He gave up the Louisiana trip, however, as it was a long way to trail the boat. The Lightning Class Association is the second largest One Design Class in the world, as there are over 6000 boats in this class all identically alike. These nineteen-foot yachts carry a mainsail, jib, and spinnaker.

Mildred Rollins has sold her home in Pennsylvania and has moved to Greenwich, Conn., address, 89 Maple Ave. She had an interesting summer, having left San Francisco in June to fly to Hawaii with her old high school chum. She returned in July to prepare her home for sale and proceeded to break two ribs, which added to the confusion, but on September 1 she accepted the position of hostess for the Women's Club of Greenwich.

Here's a special plea to members of the Class who were here for reunion, to send me copies of any snapshots which were taken for use in the MAGAZINE, or other publicity for the Class. Also, I would appreciate knowing of any who have taken movies so that on the occasion of our next reunion we may have pleasure similar to that we had from the movies taken by Eunice Griswold at the June reunion. She showed her excellent pictures of the Class during the recent reunion.

The Class will be interested to know that Ken Clark's son, Marshall, has been made Advertising Manager of Scott Paper Company. Congratulations are certainly due him for this accomplishment.

We were all certainly delighted to have the fine visit with Walt Greenwood at reunion, but being the modest chap he was, we did not realize the great civic worker that he has been in Cleveland. An article in Properties, which Al Wheeler managed to snitch from him during reunion, tells of his backstage work in the development of the Chester Avenue Extension there. He, in an unofficial capacity, accepted the responsibility for getting the long-awaited Chester Avenue Extension, a much needed portion of Cleveland's highways. Walt is a real estate broker and consultant and property manager, operating under the name of Realty Administration, Inc. The article continues to say that over the years he has devoted time and energy to the vital civic problems of mass transportation and parking. He is a member of the Cleveland Building Owners and Managers Association, the Cleveland Real Estate Board, the Postwar Planning Council, vice chairman of the Transportation Panel, chairman of the Highways, Transportation and Parking Committee of the Real Estate Board and Building Owners and Managers. He has worked for many years to see the realization of a Cleveland Rapid Transit system. Walter and his wife live at 2257 Grandview Ave., Cleveland Heights. Their son, Walter Jr., who is married and lives in Los Angeles, is advertising manager for the Consolidated Machinery and Supply Company, Ltd.

Among the 1911 visitors abroad this summer were the Jack Steeves, who greatly enjoyed the Scandinavian countries; Jim andRuth Mathes, who took a hurried trip to Europe on the Queen Elizabeth in September, returned on the United States in October. This was styled as a business trip. MiriamMorris had a fine trip by plane to Europe, visiting the Azores, Portugal, Cypress, Italy, and then joined an archaeological survey group of sixteen people, visiting some of the ancient sites in Greece and the surrounding islands. She returned by boat in time to attend the Bar Association dinner at Philadelphia, where George was honored by resolutions and testimonials. Anna Swain writes of a two months' cruise of the Mediterranean with Dick and Nancy, visiting such interesting corners of the world as Morocco, Egypt, and Turkey. Nancy has a job in Boston, and Dick is with the C.A.A.
