Class of 1925
We sorta hoped the summer mail might do the right thing by us in the way of class news, but prospects for a bigger and better colyum are no brighter now than before.
If it weren't for helpful lads like Art Smith, who got himself married to Miss Dorothy Frances Vanderbrock on July 23, at Defiance, Ohio, just to contribute his share of news for the column (there's real class spirit)—we repeat, if it weren't for helpful lads like good old Art, things would look purty, purty black for your roving reporter.
Then, on May 5, "Bick" Bickford pledged his troth with Miss Ettie Gertrude Honeycutt, and we have received the formal announcement that the Bickfords will be at home at 1820 Napoleon Ave., New Orleans.
Bob Canfield was next in line, or rather, out of line. He and Miss Angelica Gibbs were married on June 8 in New York.
Ross Pearl is the fourth and last of the bewildered benedicts to desert the '25 ranks, at least, the last that we have a report on. He marched up the aisle on August 3, at LaGrange, Ga., and vowed the vows for Miss Louisa Leslie Dallis.
So much for the Love Interest Department.
Mil Hart was East this summer and spent several weeks communing with nature in New Hampshire and Vermont. Mil claimed he was taking a "much needed" rest from business—or vice versa—and returned to Evanston, Ill., a bigger and better man for his holiday.
Had a note t'other day from Dutch Learnard, who has been working with the Bureau of Entomology in Arlington, Mass., this summer. In the open season Dutch guides some of the wandering minds in Norwood (Mass.) High School. He reports that Stephen Learnard, aged two, is already beginning to show Dartmouth spirit, and complains (Dutch complains, not Stephen) of the few-and-far-between-ness of '25ers, as do we all.
Walt Vom Lehn is teaching manual arts in some of the elementary schools in Brooklyn, N. Y„ and history and community civics in an evening high school on the East Side—cosmopolitan classes ranging in ages from 18 to 50. Walt likes it a lot. He got his M.A. in history at Columbia last June, and has a young son with four teeth.
From Chicago comes murmurings of Cupid (in full armor). The Tribune of June 4 carried glad tidings of the betrothal of Tige Lyon to Miss Mary Sturtevant of Cambridge, Mass. It is interesting to relate that at just about that time the said Mr. Lyon, while cavorting about a golf course in Waukegan, 111., received a smashing brassie shot on the nose; in fact, it smashed the nose; in fact, the nose required several stitches. Mr. Dave Burner was with Mr. Tige Lyon at this trying time and will gladly furnish further details on receipt of a self-addressed stamped envelope.
From Cairo, Egypt, we received announcement of the arrival of Nancy Gile Dwinell, on July 30, 1932, to brighten the lives of Mr. and Mrs. Stub Dwinell, of that town.
Nate Bugbee is doing things in a big way these days. Not that that's anything new for Nate, but he seems to be breaking into print about it. Here's an Associated Press despatch from a current newspaper:
"Worcester Consolidated Street Railwaywas sold today at foreclosure sale on a bidof $1,500,000 to H. H. Ayer and Nathan E.Bugbee, representing a bondholders' protective committee. . . . A crowd of about350 persons assembled for the sale." No wonder!
The shocking news of the tragic death of Dune McDougall last May has just come in. Mr. and Mrs. Walt Innes, while abroad, spent several days with Dune, driving around and visiting flying fields, including his own field about ninety miles from London. The day after Dune's return to duty he was killed in an accident while practicing some flying formations in preparation for the air force annual display. Although comparatively new at flying, he was considered one of the best pilots in Great Britain, was wrapped up in his work and doing a lot of exhibition flying. However, the accident which caused his death was straight formation flying. Through some confusion another ship settled on top of his and they fell locked together. Both pilots were killed instantly.
