1914

One of the dividends received from the completion of the Maine Toll Road through to Augusta was the presence of Hod Potter at the February dinner of the Boston Alumni Association. Hod said it was an easy three-hour drive from his house in Augusta to the Statler. He has now retired and is contemplating some travel before he takes on any new assignments. He suggests that the easy ride, over good roads, should increase the number of classmates stopping at his home to renew old acquaintance.

The dinner was a most successful affair even if the 1914 attendance won no prize for members present. Aborn, Austin, HaroldBrown, Drake, Gregg, Potter, and Saltmarsh showed up.

It is rumored that the Harold Browns are going to join the permanent residents of Florida. Rumor or no rumor, the fact is that they are enjoying the climate at Vero Beach until sometime in April. If they don't show up in these parts come April, we'll assume there's some truth to the rumor.

It has been reported that someone twisted Ducky Drake's arm and he is again a candidate for the School Committee in Weymouth. He is completing 21 years on this job, as well as some 25 years as Library Trustee.

The other day a letter came in from AlRichmond enclosing some pictures of the Tenth Reunion, which he had dug out of his desk in the process of cleaning house; Also enclosed was an announcement of the annual Tuck-Thayer football game. This one was November 7, 1914, after most of us had moved out into the world. This affair was entitled "H. S. Person's Tuckers vs. Bobby Fletcher's Thayers." In the line-up were included such famous classmates as "Certain Phases" Hazen,

"Business Cycles" Chandler, "Specificity" Farwell, "Esprit de Corps" Young, "Time Study" Harris, "Blackhand" Maddalena, "Gunman" Van Riper, "Sewer" Hands, "Skunk" Richmond, "Microbe" Foss, and "Wireless" Elkins. Included in the ambulance corps were "Diaphram" Deering, "Fracture" Flanders, "Wart'' Washburn and "Tetanus" Taylor.

According to the New York World Telegram, a certain member of an advertising agency (well known to most of you) was selected as one of the "Ten Best Dressed American Gentlemen." On the day of this announcement, he appeared in his office wearing one brown shoe and one black shoe. This person was NOT Sig Larmon who received such a citation this year.

John Knoop reports a nine weeks' trip to the Continent and the Holy Land, but no details. Says his farm out in Troy, Ohio, is doing all right, - feeds about one thousand cattle and five hundred hogs annually, so they manage to eat regularly, although there isn't much profit. How about more news of your trip? Ken Fuller is now Chairman of the Board of the County Bank & Trust Company, Paterson, N. J. He has been president of this bank for the past twelve years "and will continue as the bank's chief executive officer as chairman of the board of directors."

Just received an announcement telling of the new location of the Colgate-Palmolive Co. at 300 Park Avenue, New York 22. This is the new address of James M. Crow ell, who has been an executive of this company for many years. Jim Heenehcin should now be addressed at 1273 North Avenue, New Rochelle, N. Y. A change of address is in order also for Ed Osborn who is now living at 47 Village Road, Sea Girt, N. J. Ed is an engineer with the N. J. State Highway Department.

Some of you whose wives scan the social columns of the newspapers (as does mine) may have heard that Dartmouth's efficient and zealous Alumni Recorder, Charlotte Ford, is now Mrs. Hugh S. Morrison. Professor Morrison, long time member of the faculty, is a member of the Class of 1926. The best wishes of our Class have been extended by your secretary.
