1926

There is quite a story behind the story of the children's Christmas book written by Bob May entitled Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, which is presented in an adjoining column along with these notes.

Johnny Manser writes that the DartmouthMichigan hockey game at Ann Arbor during the Christmas trip produced a turn-out of some 120 Big Green enthusiasts. Says John:

"At the end of the first period we were behind 3-2 and at the end of the second we were leading, 4-3. At this stage we were all very happy even though we did not expect to hold this lead, as the Michigan team should have been in much better condition than our boys (because of their opportunity for more practice). Instead of fading, however, our boys were stronger than ever in the third period and finally won 6-3.1 have never seen as happy a group of Detroit Dartmouth men. We have to take a lot o£ ribbing out here from the numerous Michigan alumni and after this we will have something we can really talk about. John and Ada Heavenrich were there and Ada just about ruined a good hat for John, pulling it down over his eyes after every goal, but John didn't mind. Larry Scoville brought his two boys along to see their first hockey game."

With his customary foresight Al Louer started last fall to line up a crew of Assistant Class Agents to head our various divisions for the coming Alumni Eund and now at this early date his organization is complete and ready to go. Here is the list of lieutenants the rest of us will be hearing from when the time comes and more power to them for their willingness to do this good work for the class and college:

Doug Everett in the North Country. Ran Cox in the Bean and Cod territory. Harry Fisher in Rhode Island and Connecticut. Holt McAloney and Less Talbot divide Metropolitan New York into two divisions. Van VanDuyn for New Jersey. Chuck Abbott in Up-State New York. Johnny Heavenrich carries on in Ohio and Michigan. Herb Harwood does likewise in Washington and the Southeast. Del Worthington takes over in Illinois. Bill Nigh gets back in harness on the Pacific Coast.

And last, but far from least, Jack Cannon is jumping into Red Merrill's shoes as Editor of the Class Bulletin. Much as it pains us to have to praise a rival rag we must say that we have always thought the Bulletin was a mighty interesting and colorful job and we are sure it will continue thus under Jack's guidance.

Notes and Comments:—Through newspaper clippings, backstairs gossip and various other devious channels the following bits of intelligence have come to hand Art Wollenhaupt has returned to civilian life and Poughkeepsie after three years in the Marines and has been appointed Promotion Manager of the Poughkeepsie New Yorker, a continuation of the newspaper work in which he has been engaged since 1926 Ed Dooley continues his multitudinous speaking and writing engagements in addition to his work with the Institute of Public Relations in New York. He recently addressed the Rotary Club of Stamford on the subject of corporate public relations and also talked about football to an American Legion meeting in Bronxville. The December issue of Pic carried a feature article by Ed entitled "What Football Has Meant To Me" in which he lists the football liabilities and assets on his personal balance sheet and finds the assets predominating, a not surprising conclusion considering the full and successful life Ed has built for himself and the importance of his football experiences in the evolution of it Hal Marshall, General Sales Manager of Kendall Mills, made the keynote speech at a recent convention of sixty-five sales executives of the company at Greenville, S. C Last fall some strange and rare tropical germ hit Doug Everett in the liver and he was in the hospital for quite a spell with a miserable sickness similar to jaundice, only worse and involving loss of considerable weight and strength. We are mighty glad to report that Doug is on the mend although recuperation has been a long haul

As we go to press the latest word from Herb Darling is that 240 of you gentlemen have sent in your class dues. That's purty good, but considering the size of the class you can see there is still need for wider participation.
