Class of 1916
3589 Avalon Rd., Shaker Heights, Ohio From a clipping sent to me by Charlie Everett, we learn that the control and management of Davidson Bros, of Sioux City has been transferred to Larry Davidson and members of his immediate family.
Your Secretary will spend the week-end of May 12 and 13 in Hanover at the annual secretaries' meeting. Also your worthy treasurer has but recently returned from a two weeks' rest period in Bermuda.
From the Alumni Office we have received the following changes of addresses: Cliff Herold is now in Elyria, Ohio, and is manager of Muir's drug store at 413 Broad St. Remember, you Down-Easters, when driving to the Century of Progress you go through this town—so an ideal place to stop to replenish the blade stock, cigarettes, and so on. Barrett Studley is out on the Coast as a member of the Patrol Squadron No. 7 of the Naval Air Station at San Diego, Calif. Spence Sully is dabbling in oil at Santa Fe Springs, Calif. Karl Zint is now with the Republic Iron and Steel Company in their Detroit office. Bob Thieme is Pacific Coast manager of International Filter Company and located in Los Angeles. Walt Morton is cost manager of Compo Shoe Machinery Corp. of Boston. Rup Perkins, engineer, lives in Jackson Heights on Long Island. John Saunders is turning over, we hope, real estate in Detroit. Ken Douglas, who used to center for the freshman football team, is vice-president of the Dexter Engineering Company of New York City. Charlie Jones is still with his first love, Ernst and Ernst of New York City.
Marty Linihan was the victim of an automobile accident last November, which resulted in a badly smashed hip. At present writing is all okay again and enjoying spasmodic trips across the Peace Bridge into Canada from Buffalo. Mentions meeting Dave Shumway in Buffalo and Eric Barbour in Syracuse.
Jack McEndy writes that he is still with Bird and Son, felt base floor covering manufacturers, with headquarters in New York City. Also gives me the information about Perc Burnham that I imparted to you last month, and in addition that Jake Mensel was in New York recently covering his trade on a cane.
Rus Leavitt is high school agent for the New Hampshire State Department of Education. This necessitates his traveling all over the state and keeps his home in Concord. His family consists of three boys and two girls. Rus furnishes the following items of others: Ralph George, alderman and senator, barely missed out as president of the Senate. Ben Moxon lives in Manchester, and we are glad to learn that his health is much improved. Les Leavitt is associate principal of the Preparatory Department of the American University in Beirut, Syria. Emery Lapierre still keeps the family business of clothing Concord's best going in great style, yet still takes time out to demonstrate just how a golf club should be swung.
And so your scribe ends his second year as your ALUMNI MAGAZINE correspondent. His final wish of this year is that the wolf will stay away from your door, that the 19th hole with the advent of 3.2 will be more enjoyable, that your vacation period will be a healthful and pleasurable one and that when all is over you will remember to write to me what you have done, because on your doing this depends the column for the October issue of the coming year.
As the last and most important thought of this current year, I hope that you will bear with Rog Evans and his agents in their attempts to gather in as much as possible for the Alumni Fund. You can readily see that the entire work has been passed over to the agents this year. Whereas, there has been no quota set for the class, and whereas, there is to be only one mailing piece sent out from Hanover, there still is the very urgent need of funds if Dartmouth is to carry on. The entire collecting of these funds is put up to the respective agents. Upon their backs falls the brunt of the work. If ever they needed your quick and generous co-operation, certainly this year is the one. You have had the one and only piece from Hanover together with a letter from Rog. Now if you have not answered that communication when you read this, just consider it another appeal to your better judgment and answer it by sending in that donation now. What that amount is to be is left entirely up to you. But make it something and send it in at once.
A last minute item just appeared in the mail—too important to let it go until the fall. Saturday, the 6th of May, was a big day in Jim Colton's life, for he and Mary Frothingham were married in Worcester, Mass. Congratulations and best wishes to the bride and groom.
Secretary,
