1917*

WASECA'S SERVICE TEAM

EM AND VERA WARD'S warm hospitality more than offset the fourteen-below-zero weather of Southern Minnesota, February 15th, when your wandering photographer kept them up until all hours, talking about the Dawn Patrollers they'll see at 25th reunion in May.

Em was up to his neck registering men in the "father and son" draft that week-end. Appointed Chief Liaison Officer by Governor Stassen, he represents Minnesota's first Congressional District on the State Defense Commission and is Commander of the American Legion at Waseca. Mrs. Ward was busy as Chairman of Production for the Red Cross. Nancy, ten, was at home and Mary Ann is a freshman at Smith, her mother's Alma Mater.

Hm keeps his hand in farm management all the time, working with his tenant-partners on about 2900 acres producing principally wheat, corn and hogs, and he owns another farm in Montana. For many years he was a trustee of Shattuck Military Academy where he and Doc Walters prepared for College. A phone call to Rochester brought the report that Walt was away for a couple of weeks. When our Minnesota delegation arrives at Hanover after two days on the train, it's going to look funny if you gents right here in the east.... oh, well . . . .and Ho-hum!

In the race for the season's highest attendance record and the prize to be awarded at 25th reunion, Sam MacKillop revealed two scores for Boston in February, after seeing Holden's good start at the New York January Party, reported here last month. The annual Alumni Banquet attracted fifteen men: Houghton Carr, Bill Fitch, Al Dupuis, Guy Richardson, Roy Halloran, Howard Bartlett, Slatz Baxter, Errol Thompson, Spique Maclntyre, Ralph Sanborn, Pete Stockwell, Walter Ferguson, Pete Olds, Roger Stone and Sam MacKillop. Next the "New England" Patrol sent out a mess call to all New Engenders to appear at University Club on February 25th, to hear Whitey Fuller, Director of Athletic Publicity, and with the dual objective of practicing reunion drill and beating the New York Patrol's attendance record. Out they came, 25 strong: Andy Anderson, Pay Barber, Mott Brown, Walt Carr, Al Dupuis, Forry Emery, Phil Evans, Major Fitch, Hal Halloran, Jimmy Jones, Hank Loudon, Arthur Maclntyre, Squire MacKillop, Connie Murphy, Larry Nourse, Bob Paine, Don Richmond, Sunny Sanborn, Ray Sault, Win Scudder, Bill Spearin, Howie Stockwell, Nemo Streeter all the way from St. John, N. 8., Rog Stone and Errol Thompson. And as we go to press Mr. Holden in New York predicts a bigger March dinner than New York has ever seen. A report of point scores and per cent of attendance to April 1st will appear next month for both teams. Your scribe will hold all bets in escrow and pay off May 15th in Hanover.

A good picture of Don Aldrich in a recent issue of "The Villager" heads a story announcing that our former class president and present Princeton trustee had declined nomination as a candidate for Protestant Episcopal Bishop of the Long Island diocese, and will continue as rector of the Church of the Ascension, Fifth Avenue at 10th St., New York.

Charlie Wolff, who has been in the Army Reserve Corps several years, was called to active duty March Ist, commissioned Major, and assigned to the Under Secretary of War, at Washington, D. C.

An accountant by profession, Perne R. Hutchinson writes he is a Financial Agent of the U. S. Employment Service at Concord, N. H., is a member of the National Association of Cost Accountants.

George S. Montgomery, member of the law firm of Coudert and Cos., New York, is now devoting half his time to his interests in Nitralloy Corporation of which he is President. This company licenses its patents on a case hardening steel process which is important in production of many war materials. He and Mrs. Montgomery have one son, and live on Staten Island Burt Gale has been running the house-to-house end of the Red Cross drive m Buffalo.

At the 1917 table for the New York Alumni Banquet, February 19th, the following thirteen Dawn Patrollers were present to hear President Hopkins:—Don Aldrich, Don Brooks, George Currier, Arch Earle, Summy Emerson, Bunny Holden, Trott King, Karl Koeniger, Fred Leighton, Elliot Mudgett, Len Reade, Butch Sherman of Brattleboro and Buck Stewart. Butch and Trott are anticipating commissions in the Army Air Corps.

Al Emmons wrote Sumner Emerson from Kennebunk, Maine:

"The country squire is still struggling along. The town is much the same as when you knew it, a pretty good place to live for a chap like me who has really been a small town boy always even though I was in Boston sixteen years. While my practice is far from what I'd like, I have kept busy since last spring, first as county chairman of the U.S.O. Campaign, and for the last three months with Civilian Defense, somewhat to the detriment of my law practice. But this war makes me sick at heart and for a year and a half I certainly haven't been guilty of the complacency of which Justice Roberts accuses us. I'm going to try to be in Hanover this spring ifI have to walk for I think our reunion will give usa bigger lift and count for more than any loss oftime it may occasion."

Roy L. Johnson of Montpelier, Vt., is Purchasing Agent of National Life Insurance Co., with a number of additional duties. He writes:

"It is a relief to learn that another classmate is bald at 46. Luman Howe, whom I often see, defies the years with plenty of thatch on his dome and leaves me depressed by comparison Mrs. Johnson was Hazel Danyow, a chum from grade school years. Our oldest daughter is married, living at Springfield, Mo., and we have a grandchild! Charles is a student at Norwich University, and Geraldine and Martha are in the grades. Rotary and a local club of self-styled intelligentsia (Duke Howe is one) are among my interests. Vermont being one big playground, the only hobby one needs here is to act natural and enjoy what's around, like the view outside our sitting room window today,—the snow covered Worcester Mountains at the end of a valley, and the kids outside building snow houses."

Speaking of our SILVER JUBILEE, Fred Gee writes from Gee Block, Lawrenceville, Ill.:

"This will be the first time I have been in Hanover since we left in 1917, and the first opportunity I have had to renew acquaintance with the members since I left School, with the exception of one chance reunion I had with Freddie Husk in Detroit a few years ago. I am looking forward to being with you in May." Fred has been engaged in a general law practice since graduating from Chicago University Law School in 1923; was married January 1, 1923 to Thelma M. Beeson of El Paso, Texas; Greta is now 14 and Sylvester 10. Fred is a member of Rotary and Lawrence County Country Club, says his golf is indifferent; he is extremely concerned about national success of the Republican Party (Hap Mason please note) although presently pleased with its success in Illinois.

Recent word from Max Antrim for our records develops the fact that Max is Assistant Cashier and Director of the State Bank of Freeport (Ill.); he married Hazel Crooke, June 17, 1922 and daughter Margaret is 17.

John S. Ferguson's obituary appears in this month's Necrology Section.

Harry Defarrari writes he is teaching Romance linguistics at Catholic University of America, Washington, D. C., and remains single. He recently published a pamphlet entitled "Outline of a Theory of Linguistic Change," and has now finished the manuscript of a rather large book called "The Phonology of Italian, Spanish and French." Those of us who sat in his French classes in college will find no surprise and considerable satisfaction in this news.

Hank Bomgardner operates the Bomgardner Motor Company at Scottsbluff, Nebraska—the Ford line—and is also very much interested in Oil Purifier, Inc., a lumber business, is a distributor of Deepfreeze and frozen foods and operates two farms. He married Mabel E. Cooley at Oyster Bay, N. Y. on September 21, 1918. Their daughter Jane, 21, has a pilot license and is employed by Lincoln Flying School; Charles, 19, is a student at U. of Nebraska. Hank is President, Nebraska Motor Dealers' Association and was appointed by the Governor to the State Advisory Board, Motor Division; is a member of the Scottsbluff Board of Education and a Trustee of the Presbyterian Church. He belongs to the University Club at Lincoln, Denver Athletic Club, and Scottsbluff Country Club. Besides his golf, he bowls and says he never misses the weekly poker game. Regarding reunion Hank says, "Forty-nine employees on the payroll and the automobile business falling apart make it mandatory to stay on the job. I'll be too busy holding the car business together and raising sugar beets, corn, potatoes and beans for the war effort."

Merle E. Maynard is head of the Science Dept., Technical High School, Springfield, Mass., where he teaches Physics and is now preparing a new advanced course in Electronics. He was married in 1922 to Marguerite M. Huberty of Villerupt, France and they have three sons, Edmond, Richard and Donald, the first now attending Mass. College of Pharmacy. Merle says he takes time out from work for airplane spotting and has done some camping for the past several summers.

Don Brooks spends considerable evenings at his work as Air Raid Warden around Upper Montclair, N. J Dr. Bob Stickney says his practice is keeping him too busy most of the time but he is planning to join the '17 Sentries at Dawn Patrol Duty, come the JUBILEE on May 15th.

With ALUMNI MAGAZINE publishing costs soaring, space for all class notes has been drastically cut, effective with this issue.

Isn't it great to see the long list of Seventeeners who went on record last spring, in support o£ Dartmouth's present and future? A Wah-Hoo-Wah for 1917, Class Agent Maclntyre, and all his teammates who take time from personal interests to collect your contributions to the Alumni Fund.
