1910

One of our retired tenners who has refused to be an inactive retired person is Rev. Harold Robinson. Having served for a long period in the mission field in China followed by several years as assistant pastor after his official retirement, he has taken up painting. Proof of his talent is evident in the attractive Christmas greeting of recent days. The picture, "Looking up the Valley from the Manor" was admired by friends in the Manor who like hills and the trees in the yard. So Robbie decided to make use of it for his greeting card. Incidentally, we learn that his friends at the Manor have dubbed him "Gramp Mose."

From Andy Scarlett we have a newspaper clipping from "Barre-Montpelier Times-Ar-gus" of December 7, 1968 showing the recollections of the old days in Montpelier written from memory by Pineo Jackson who, as you may recall, entered Dartmouth from the said Montpelier, Vt. The story covers a good half page of the paper. Pineo's father was a former managing editor of the paper. The present editor asked Pineo for this contribution and labelled it "Son of an Argus Managing Editor Recalls Boyhood in Montpelier."

All of us hear of the unusual delays in the delivery of mail. An item which has just come to our attention from we know not where tells about the grand party enjoyed on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of Ralph and Glenn Noyes in Littleton, N. H., in '64. On his return card sent with the Tenner Topics for the. Harvard game dinner last fall Ralph wrote "Nothing very much happens around our house but we both manage to keep well and plug along. Cannot drive a car so have to depend on friends."

One Tenner who gets real enjoyment out of our reminders like the '68 Christmas greeting to "Tenners of Dartmouth" is Thayer Smith. He makes regular comments such as "Many thanks for the very appropriate memo of freshman college days. Those 'Do You Remember When's' I suppose you must glean from college records, unless you have an attic full of Dartmouth memorabilia yourself." While it is a fact that the attic has a fair share of such accumulations, the scrapbook developed between 1906 and 1910 has furnished the greater part of the material used in these twice-a-year cards with some supplementary contributions from Hanover. As most Tenners will recall Thayer was born and brought up in Hanover. He knew all about Hanover many years before the rest of us even heard of Dartmouth. It is especially pleasing to find that these examples of our ancient history make it possible for him to get a real kick out of them.

Latest word from Burt Miller tells about another trip to the hospital, this time for a "hemstitching job." This was made necessary because the stitches in a previous operation for hernia could not take the rough life Burt seems to get into. Burt says he will see us in June in Hanover.

A newspaper item which has come to our attention tells how a teenager in Deshler, Ohio, carrying a placard with the words "Bring Us Together" caught the attention of President Nixon when his campaign took him to that town. This gave him the suggestion which he adopted as his inaugural theme, "Forward Together." 1910's interest in this item arises from the fact that one of the Tenner wives, mother of the little girl in the picture story "Time and a Little Girl who Went to Tenner Reunions just like her Dad and Mom," Harriette Barrett began life in Deshler, Ohio.
