1913

Spring has at last come to New England and we have been enjoying several days of beautiful warm sunshine. A nice thing happened to us. Last Tuesday Bernice and BillMason invited us to dinner, which, needless to say, was excellent. We then drove to Lexington and enjoyed a concert given by the Dartmouth Glee Club. Lending some color to the program was the Bedford Fife & Drum Corps which marched up the aisle, playing an old Continental tune, to the stage. Part two of the program featured a portrait of Dartmouth - a celebration of it's bi-centennial in song, picture and story. An excellent performance and we were glad that we went.

"Bart" Shepard and Renza attended the class officers weekend program in Hanover May 1-2 and we will no doubt have a report of that meeting.

A seminar held at Boca Raton, Fla., was held in April of this year and was concerned with common stock investment. The main speaker was Dr. Ralph E. Badger, a professor of economics, author and bank executive, who is a resident of Deerfield Beach. Badger was a professor of economics at Brown "U" until 1950 when he became interested in business. He is an associate with Standard Research Associates Inc., and is a former executive vice president of the Union Guardian Trust Co. of Detroit. He has also headed his own companies, Investment Council Inc., and Ralph E. Badger Associates. Badger is an expert on stock valuation and has written several books which are standard texts in college and advanced training courses.

The Herald News of Fall River, Mass., carried an article on "Dave" Morey which went on to say that Dave was still sharp and active at the age of 81, after 40 years of coaching. He carries the title of the oldest coach in New England. Oldest in the nation is Lou Little, who coached for many years at Columbia. During his colorful and extended career, Morey was associated with many of the great men in football coaching and always had connections with outstanding figures in baseball on all levels. Dave, as we all know, played on the football team and was captain of the baseball team and pitcher in 1913. He was named on Walter Camp All-American football teams in 1911-12. Dave's career as a football coach was an amazing one. In 1930 when he went to Bates College that institution hadn't won a game in three years but in his first year Bates won the Maine State championship. He stayed there until 1940. In 1932 he brought his team to New Haven and a scoreless tie resulted. Bates had only 350 students. As a result of his team's success against major opposition the name of the "Giant Killer" was given coach Morey by the late Grantland Rice. One of his boys expressed his opinion of Dave in these words: "Dave was a gentleman by every standard and an all-time All- American."

Mose Linscott sent a clipping from the Manchester Union Leader showing a picture of Harold McAllister with three other prominent 33rd degree Masons. They were attending the 106th annual spring reunion of Scottish Rite Masons of New Hampshire.

When the class officers met in Hanover on the weekend of May 1 and 2 1913 was represented by Bart Shepard, president; RobertConant, treasurer; T. Willard Towler, bequest and estate planning chairman and Milton Aronowitz, representing WilliamTerry, as class agent. They were especially pleased and proud when Bill Towler was honored by being chosen and named "Bequest and Estate Planning Chairman of the Year." This was announced at the luncheon of class officers in Alumni Hall. It is a great honor for Bill and 1913.
