The class will all grieve with Tom and Mrs. Remsen in the loss of their oldest son, William Kouwenhoven Remsen, 2nd, who passed away January 2, 1923, at the home of his grandmother at Hudson Falls, N. Y. Billy Remsen was born in Grand Falls, Newfoundland, and was soon to be fourteen years old, but at this early age he gave unusual promise of a life of unselfishness, devotion, and service. He was deeply beloved by his classmates and by his fellow Boy Scouts, to which movement he was most enthusiastically devoted. He had recently been advanced to first patrol, with highest honors for one of his age. At the Glens Falls Academy he was a diligent student, from which school he expected to graduate and enter Dartmouth, because he loved his father's college and so hoped he could reune at the same time his father did. The funeral services were conducted at the home of his grandmother, and Boy Scouts were in attendance. The interment was in Greenwood Cemetery, January 5. The loss of this loving and lovable son so soon after the death of a baby daughter is cruelly pathetic.

Rubber Thayer, the day before Christmas, climbed Mt. Baldy, a peak 11,500 feet high, near his home in Claremont, Cal., and reports he got back in good condition. All this in a note to Johnny Ward, and he asked John if he could do it. What does Rubber think we are in the East? He ought to be in Hanover in February, when members of the class spend a few days there, and see them enjoy the winter sports and delights of Hanover at that time of the year.
