CLASS OF 1903
On March 17, fifteen men of the 1903 class gathered at the Hotel Bellevue for their annual dinner. Billy Keyes had sent out the notice to most of the men in New England, and it was a source of regret that more did not appear from outside towns.
H. D. Cushing was present after spending the summer at the border, where he was captain of Company C of the Eighth Infantry and much of the time acted as major in command of a battalion. He not only had the largest company in the United States sevice at the border last summer, but acted as major of the largest battalion.
Henry Porter was at the dinner, as he has been located in Beverly for some little time on special engineering work for the city. He expects within a few months to return to Yonkers, which has been his home the greater part of the time since leaving college.
Phil Brown also served at the border this past year, and for the first time in ten years lias been able to get out to a class dinner.
E. L. Brown kept up his perfect record for attendance at class dinners, in spite of his bad automobile accident this last fall. He is able to attend business now, and although he will always be lame exhibits the same cheerful optimism towards life that he has always had.
During the past month M. R. Brown has been elected treasurer of the Stevens and Daboil Mills, Fall River, Mass.
Those present were: Porter, Brown, E. L., Cushing, Brown, M. R.. Swan, Burbeck, Hammond, Kidger, Newell, Kenerson, Brown, Phil, Stockwell, Howard, Luce, Keyes.
On March 24, at Keen's Chop House, West 36th St., New York city, under the guidance of the New York committee, Wiley, Lewers, Cohen, and French, twenty-two members of 1903 gathered in one of the finest reunions which have occurred since the boys separated at Hanover. Pray Wadham was on from Kansas City; Avery was up from Washington: four men were over from Boston, Stockwell, Howard, Hanlon, and Kenerson; Whelden was down from Vermont; Chedel and Lovell from Connecticut: Crosse from Newark; and every man from New York city and Brooklyn was present, with the exception of Bob Davis, who was participating in a preparedness meeting and was down for one of the speakers, and so could not get away for the class round-up. Kenerson, who was just from the Secretaries' Meeting in Hanover, brought the news from the college. A meeting of the executive committee of the class was held on class business. Nat Hill, who had not seen any of the boys since he left college at Christmas time in the sophomore year, was present at this first meeting. It was a great reunion for all.
The roster was as follows: Wadham, Avery, Stockwell, Howard, Hanlon, Kenerson, Whelden, Chedel, Lovell, Crosse, French, Cohen, Lewers, Wiley, Patch, Neal, Farley, Walther, Rice, Dunn, Hill, Smith.
