Class of 1911
The pre-Harvard-game class dinner at the University Club in Boston must go down in history as another successful 1911 get-together. These parties are always pleasant because there is opportunity to meet with members of 1909, '10, 'is, '14, and so forth, as well as with just the members of the class. The lgners at the party were: Bond, Burleigh, Butts, Josh Clark, Clute, Crooks, Les Gibson, Griswold, Harvey, Hawkridge, Ingersoll, Chick Jordan, Macomber, Malley, Mayo, Mullen, Learoyd, Lovejoy, Paul, Pearson, Pendleton, Sanderson, Dick Stevens, Stucklen, Whitman, Sherwin, Uline, Sprague, and Schell. These have proven so pleasant that it is suggested that the New York alumni start the same practice in connection with either the Yale or Princeton games.
In acknowledgment of the flowers sent
by the class to "Stew" Gibson, Mrs. Gibson wrote most feelingly of Stewart's fondness for the class and appreciation of what his college friends meant to him and the great disappointment it was to him not to be able to attend the 25th Reunion.
Since last month more letters have been received from those tough guys, that is, those gents about whom it is difficult to get any information. The best piece of news concerning these men is that in all cases they want to have a chance to read the ALUMNI MAGAZINE. We are sure that there is no way in which they can become more interested in the class and its present doings than by pursuing this method.

"Would love to get up for one of thebig games, but in view of my work amdoubtful. Regards."

"Wish we had a man like Roosevelt up here. Alberta has fallen into the hands of 'Social Creditors' party.

The 'Social Creditors' are fundamentally communistic and have everyone with much property worried."
Ben Livingston, still single, is now president of Livingston & Southard, Inc., exporters and importers, of 17 Battery Place, New York City.

Elt Norris says: "Had to leave the farmand goats, as I was all worked out with my1850 equipment. Have been doing someremodeling, both design and construction,and have just a little other architecturalwork, but no regular job." All power to Elt for still having his chin in the air. He surely has had some tough breaks during the pasj few years.
You will be interested in a letter from Mrs. Hildegarde Drane, formerly Mrs. Bob Shackford, who writes: "Bob and I have been divorced for eight years. I married again two years ago. At present Bob is in Mexico, and I hate to see him give up all his Dartmouth contacts—and especially with that wonderful class of 1911. I attended the 'Titanic Tenth,' and we had one very nice reunion in California near Palm Springs. I am still in hopes that some day Bob may renew all of this, as Bob's children are strong for Dartmouth and we never miss a chance of hearing all the latest regarding the college.

I feel that I want to do all I can to keep Bob as much in touch with the class as possible and will want to send the coming class report on to him."
