1910

Although we are located nearly 200 miles from Boston we were fortunate to have echoes from the Boston Alumni Dinner. Hal Sprague found Harry Sandberg and his wife, Claire, at the dinner and they composed the 1910 representatives. From Bert Kent came a Boston Herald clipping telling about the "Bicentennial Portrait of Dartmouth by the Dartmouth Glee Club." This was the 106th annual dinner of the Boston Alumni. Of course the big feature was the opportunity to hear the newly chosen president of the college, John G. Kemeny. One of his suggestions - "Sabbaticals Urged for Business Executives" - must have been the cause of many later discussions among the alumni.

That active retired Tenner, Bert Kent, recently spoke to the students of the Intermediate School of South Hadley, Mass., presenting "the conservative point of view on the moratorium question feeling that we have enough unrest in this country already without adding to it. These so called peaceful demonstrations have a habit of developing into something else." Bert was so impressed by the excellent behavior of the students in listening to his remarks that he wrote a letter to the local newspaper to express his pleasure and congratulations.

Occasionally we receive requests for addresses of Tenners. One such request came recently from Leo Sherman asking for ArtLord's present location. We hope all Tenners will feel free to ask for information we may be able to give about other members of our Tenner family.

We missed Herb Woods When the roll was called at the Class Dinner in Boston the night before the Harvard game. A recent letter from Herb: "Thank you for the fine Christmas card. It brought back memories which long ago had escaped my mind. We are pretty well shut in these days and it becomes a high privilege to hear from old and valued friends. For days on end I have not been permitted to step out-of-doors.'

An item of news by way of Andy Scarlett's letter tells that Mac Kendall, Art Lord, and Andy made a good 1910 representation at the St. Petersburg alumni dinner. ... Andy writes "All seems well with the Clearwater Tenners, except that we are getting older each year. The Scarletts go on as usual, and we are so glad we moved to Florida. It hasn't been too warm here, but after the snow and ice storm in Hanover, they have had no day with temperatures above freezing. Perhaps the January thaw will hit there this week. The big surprise was to note, via TV, that Albany and Troy were almost as cold as Burlington, Vt. Hope you were able to get out each day."

As a matter of contrasting views on nature's productions Ted Hill in Maine writes "Everything O.K. here, a fine winter so far with very little snow and only three days of sub-zero weather. I'd rather be here than in Florida. Glad you were able to get to Charter Night. Now it will soon be June and our 60th. Sorry to have to enclose these clippings."

The clippings from Ted brought the sad news of the passing of Henry Reed and Olive Sprague. Henry's wife passed away in November. The great number of Ten- ners who became acquainted with Olive Sprague at many reunions will be saddened to learn of her death. Our sympathy as a class is extended to Hal Sprague. She had suffered several heart attacks in recent months. Henry Reed had experienced failing health over a long period. He and his wife, Marion, attended many reunions until poor health came to both.

June and reunion will soon be with us. Whether or not you plan to attend make certain to return to Ray Seymour, Reunion Chairman, the portion of Tenner Topics you received in March.
