1908*
Roy Keith was a Hanover visitor, at the Hampden-Sydney football game. He was on his way back to Boston from a fishing trip up north, stopped for the game, and then went back to his job with the Massachusetts department of corrections. His job is purchasing for state institutions.
Larry Treadway was in Hanover the end of September with sons John and Dick. They attended the St. Lawrence game. Dick is now in charge of a large dormitory and eating hall at Canton, N. Y., and roots for St. Lawrence in all its games except the one with Dartmouth. Last winter he ran his father's hotel at Vero Beach, Florida, and after the Florida season made an extended trip in Mexico with his wife and her parents.
Met up unexpectedly with Art O'Shea on a train to New York. Art was going to the Big Town to meet his wife who had been visiting their daughter recently married and now living in Brooklyn. Art said it was just a coincidence that he was going down on the day the world series ball games opened in New York; the old Dartmouth second baseman hasn't lost interest in the national pastime, either of them. Says his older son, John, will probably join him in the Laconia store after graduation next June. Younger son, Jim, now in Dartmouth, shows signs of going into the medical profession.
Bill Knight came east from Rockford, 111., for the meeting of the Athletic Council in late September. Reports family and business satisfactory, and still some hopes for Dartmouth athletics.
Mr. and Mrs. Charles Walker of Portsmouth have been Hanover visitors this fall. Each has a nephew in the freshman class.
Larry Symmes is back in New York after a trip to the Pacific Coast. August 21 he attended the Dartmouth Club luncheon in San Francisco with his son, Larry Jr. Says he saw Web Evans and spent some time with him. Also called on Dick Danforth who has a new yacht and travels everywhere by water. Dick, by the way, has a fine boy in Dartmouth, prominent in Outing Club activities. The Junior Symmes, with a Harvard degree on top of his Dartmouth one, has now joined the faculty at the Martin School in San Fran- cisco.
Many classmates have had letters this fall from Art Lewis, whose efforts to put 'OB on the list of 100% MAGAZINE subscribers deserves support. Art is one of the best correspondents, but his letters don't give much news of himself.
Early in September in Mill Valley, California, the engagement of Miss Kathryn Symmes to Guernsey S. Buck of Scarsdale, N. Y., was announced at a party given by her aunt, Mrs. Ralston White. At the same party the younger daughter of Larry and Mrs. Symmes, Jean, made her debut. Kathryn Symmes is a graduate of Vassar in 1937, her sister is a sophomore at the same college. The wedding will take place within a year in Scarsdale.
The class reporter, who has been in Hanover most of the time for the past year and a half, now hangs his hat and gets his mail in the old home town of Milford, N. H. In October he sold his half of the Dartmouth Printing Company to his partner, K. W. Foley '24. The company, organized in April, 1938, took over the plant of the former Dartmouth Press. People in Hanover have been very kind, and a busiess that was pretty much on its back is now pretty well on its feet. It reached the point where your reporter had to relinquish his business and home in Milford and give all his time to the job in Hanover, or withdraw from Hanover and attend to business in Milford. Eighteen months in Hanover have been filled with plenty of hard work, and really delightful associations with the people here. Not least of the pleasures has been knowing many s6ns of classmates and men who were in college with us.
