1919
As these notes have a deadline of October 5 in Hanover, the account of the big weekend in Woodstock-Hanover cannot be recorded, but sometime in November your Sec. will endeavor to get out a "Smoke Signal" with all the news of our annual fall gathering. The latest from the Woodstock Inn indicates that a large group will be on hand.
Recent changes of addresses of various classmates are as follows: E. Clarke Ingraham, 29 Naval Air Station, Los Alamitos, Calif.; GreifRaible, 1656 Union Commerce Bldg., Cleveland 14, Ohio, or Pebblebrook Farm, Chesterland, Ohio; Clifford B. Belknap, H. B. Kimmey Co., Wholesale Heating and Plumbing, 863 New Scotland Ave., Albany, N. Y.; VernonH. Burke Jr., 13700 Fairhill Rd., #2O1, Cleveland 20, Ohio; Raymond Halliday, Box 4224, East Providence, R.I.; Raymond C. Pierce, Box 1878, Fargo, N. D.; and Robert H. Roland, 805 N. Forest Rd., La Grange, III.
At the Inn in Hanover during the early fall were the Howie Coles o£ Beverly, Mass., and Tohn H. Murphy of Edgewood, R.I
Bill Cunningham, well-known news commentator for the Mutual Broadcasting System, and columnist for The Boston Herald, was a recent speaker at the annual dinner of the Portland, Maine, Teachers' Association. Reg Miner, able secretary of the class of 1921, sent in a picture of Spider Martin, taken withbrother Joe, on their arrival at the Logan Air port in Boston, from the GOP National Convention. Those of you who watched the proceedings on television doubtless spotted Spider assisting his brother in keeping things moving. Walt Cooper of F. S. Smithers & Co., 1 Wall Street, New York, writes: "The birthday card was awaiting me on return from fine August at Martha's Vineyard. Thank you very much for the remembrance. I'd like to attend the gathering at Woodstock, but unless I can change business plans, I will be in Calgary, Alberta at that time." Al Googins, of the Home Savings Bank of Boston, notes: "I thank you very much for the very nice birthday card. It made me wonder how many years we have been receiving these very nice thoughts from the class and I wonder if perhaps, in the Smoke Signal, you don't want to see how many years these cards have been issued. There is no special personal news worthy of publication. I am still alive. Go to Newfound Lake each weekend. Work every day and look forward to retirement in 1962. I expect to see you and the other nice people at the football games in Hanover this fall."
Wilk Wilkinson, the travelling doctor, is on the move again: "And this time will be at So. Rim of Grand Canyon in charge of hosp. there for the first 2 weeks in June. Any of the boys going thru would be happy to buy 'em a drink. Permanent address until further notice, 271 Court St., Middletown, Conn., altho will not be there to get mail for indefinite period. Hollywood address or Phoenix merely send on to us wherever we are."
On the stationery of the Socony Mobil Oil Co., Marine Transportation Department, Eddie Fiske, the great curler, writes that: "It does not look now as though Jessie and I will be able to make the Hanover weekend because, once again, it comes at the time when I must make my annual fall trip to Chicago, the Great Lakes and upper part of the Mississippi River to inspect our floating equipment on these waters. However, have fun and think of me when you gather up in America."
After hibernating all summer at Winding River, Millboro, Va., Norm Jeavons finally came to as follows: "Down here all summer, six miles from a telephone, isolated from civilization, receiving only our rerouted first class mail (99% of which are bills), and the Cleveland Plain Dealer two or three days later after everything has happened. I am completely at sea concerning Dartmouth and the doings of the class of 1919. What are the plans for a class get-together this fall? Will there be the usual meeting at Woodstock and, if so, will it be over the weekend of the 20th when the Holy Cross game will be played? As soon as you read this, will you send me a card or something immediately addressed to the above? I say 'immediately' cause I'll just have barely enough time to make reservations at Woodstock" and send in for football tickets. If there is to be no get-together, we'll skip coming to Hanover this fall."
Lou Munro, president of Doremus and Co. and proud papa of three fine boys (with a bow to Harriet), comes through: "This is to acknowledge receipt of the Class of 1919 Birthday Card. As usual, Lou Garrison has produced an original and attractive card. Don't let anyone think that this didn't take a great deal of time and effort. Having passed the 60 mark, the day after my birthday I felt like an old man; but time is a great healer and after a little bit of the 'dog that bit me' I was again my usual 35. Some day when you have a free luncheon, how about giving me a buzz and I'll come uptown and we'll talk things over. I may get in a fishing trip, September 4-11, and will be taking the boys to New Hampshire the weekend of the 15th."
From Buffalo comes a note from Chet Gale: "Dartmouth has been very much in my mind lately for several reasons. Emily and I are looking forward to spending the better part of the week before the 1919 Reunion Party in Hanover to see how Freshman Dick Gale is doing. We plan to stay a couple of nights with the Larmons and then move over to Woodstock Friday. I hope we have the usual swell crowd signed up. We missed last year but hope to make up for lost time this year. While pleasantly anticipating all the fun ahead and wondering who will be back, I received your Class of 1919 Birthday greeting which is particularly welcome on my 60th. Thank you and all the Class very much. It is very interesting to put the bifocals on and pick out the names of so many old friends."
Keep the letters coming - what your Sec. doesn't know, he can't write about.
