$1000 REWARD PEARL NECKLACE

Positively no questions asked. Lost on Saturday, Nov. 24, probably in the shopping district. Return to ALLEN B. FARMER, 120 Tremont St., Boston. Tel. Main 2161.

In any case we hope if any of the class have such stuff they will be more careful with it. Makes the class appear plutocratic.

We noticed in a local paper this month that "as a result of complaints that patients at the Chelsea Naval Hospital were getting booze from outside sources, prohibition authorities made a drive to clean up that end of Chelsea yesterday." We do not just understand this. If inside sources are supposed to furnish them, it seems to us that Kelley ought to get on to his job. At last accounts he had charge there. This will stand investigation. Presume it would be all right for any of the class interested to send Kel their own private recipes, formulas, etc., anyway.

"KENERSON. In Winchester, December 12, 1923, Martha Moulton Kenerson, 4 yrs., 3 mos, 25 days, youngest daughter of Edward H. and Charlotte D. Ryder. Funeral from residence, 14 Brooks St., Winchester, Thursday, December 13, at 3 P. M. Services private and please omit flowers." Flowers had been ordered sent in the name of Dartmouth College, Class of 1903, before this notice was seen, and they were not canceled. Your Secretary received the following note from Winchester December 23: "My dear Mr. Luce—Will you please extend to the class of 1903, for myself and Ned, the thanks which I cannot half express. Those of you who had seen and known little Martha may realize somewhat the loss we have suffered. I appreciate more than I can tell the expression of sympathy from various members of the class and other Dartmouth friends. Sincerely, Charlotte R. Kenerson." Meat Hanlon, Mrs. Hanlon, and Prex Whelden went out to Winchester for the funeral. Tink Erwin called up Luce to tell him about it. Tink was under the impression that Ned and Charlotte were away, but they had been home several days,, called back from a trip to Atlanta, Ga. Hy Ruppel saw Ned at the Boston City Club with Karl Skinner on the Monday before.

Along about the middle there was a very serious illness in the family of E. L. Badger at Pittsfield, Mass. This information was gained accidentally and without detail. Here is hoping the outcome was fortuitous.

Received the following and am glad to print it. "Remember me to all my friends, and with holiday greetings from Mrs. B. and myself, Sincerely, Nat H. Batchelder." Suppose this means that from now on we shall have to reserve a place along with the other girls for Mrs. B. at all the class gatherings. Hope so. Nat tells us that "Dubsy" on his way to the Cornell game and returning also stopped in to see- him.

Hy Ruppel had a little New Year's present of a brand new enclosed Cadillac car this year. Or may be we should say Lillian Ruppel. Or may be neither. All we know about it, that we took our two older children into the arena to see Princeton lick Dartmouth at hockey, and while we were trying to keep them from getting lost we ran into Hy, who seemed a little excited. The way we got the story, Lillian was going shopping, and then they were to meet to go to the game. It seemed she shopped for a car, and when Hy met her she had this one, and the keys to it and everything. The salesman had showed her and driven her all around, then left her here to meet her husband. Hy knew he hadn't bought a car, and Lillian was certain she hadn't, so all I could figure out was a gift of some sort. Will find out later.

The Chicago Alumni Association held open house and invited the Cornell brethren in for the football game wire, and had much the same experience as did the Boston bunch last year. Kind of a bitter close, to have your guest give you the ha-ha with the Cornell cheers. May be a salutary thing at that. Another game was received over the wire and there was a smoker for Jess Hawley Decernber 17 at the University Club. The only '03 man seen around at either of these was Jack Crowell. Some of us in the East are called "professional" Dartmouth men. May be Jack is the professional '03 man in Chicago.

Under "Publications" in the January MAGAZINE, did you notice that Longmans, Green, and Company have recently published "Personality and. Social Adjustment" by Ernest R. Groves. The book is to be reviewed in a later issue.

We didn't have anything to do with putting Buck Lewers and Morton French on the class executive committee, thus making them our bosses in charge of '03 activities in New York, but we want to say right here that we expect them to function for the Cornell game next fall. If they don't, we think we shall call a Pow-Wow of '03 alone in New York some time before the 25th comes around, provided there isn't a national Pow-Wow there in the next few winters, in which case there will be a full class reunion any way. What is the use of favoring one small town with two of our executive committee (when there are only five any way, and the other three are scattered from Boston through Chicago to Denver), unless you can use them.

All of which is suggested by the fact that we do not find that there was much doing in New York the night before the Columbia game. Kid Cohen and Buck Lewers were not at the smoker. They saved their voices for the game, which they did go to. I haven't heard anything very complimentary of this night-before smoker at the Waldorf, although Ray Brown does claim there was a real Dartmouth gathering there. The New York alumni seem really to want this Thanksgiving Day game with Columbia; we understand there has been much regret over its loss in 1924. Ray went to the game with a party, and had seats on the roof, where they couldn't get down to mix with the crowd between the halves. He saw Mike Dunn with Chuck Johnson at the smoker. Presume these two had held a personally conducted dinner party beforehand. We know that Dog Cushing and Bowles French had (to violate no confidence), and that Molly Cole French went to the game with friend husband. And Decatur and his wife sat beside them. At least I suppose this was Mrs. Decatur; I go by the only class information I have, the Class Bulletin, and I find no wife listed there. Send us in a few vital statistics. Clary Morrison was seen at the game, the first time some of us have seen him since we graduated. Perhaps he had his boy with him; he has one nearly ready to graduate at Hanover now.

Besides these, Carroll Paul was at the smoker, looking 'for tickets. We hope he found them. Guess he holds the long distance record for '03 attendance at a football game this fall. And Haney was there, looking for trouble. We hope he didn't find it. Maybe we are wrong. This was the impression gained, anyway.

We called up Victor Cutter some time this month in connection with some class matter. Vic, you know, is the executive committee member from this section, and has charge of our Boston activities, etc. Mrs. Cutter at that time had been in the hospital some three weeks with a high fever, but was expected home soon, and seemed on the road to good health again. For fear that some of my flossy young New York friends may make some side remark about the "children's page," etc., I will not add that Vic had a teething baby on his hands, and that his second child had just come down sick with some malady which the doctors had not been able to diagnose. However, he-and I agreed that some of our classmates, even some of the married ones who have no children, know very little of the real joys, trials, tribulations, etc., of an old regular honest-to-goodness married man.

Jack Crowell met Ted Hale on La Salle St. in Chicago. When you meet anybody you know on the street there, it is an event to speak of and put in the papers. So he pulled him out of the traffic, and they stood and chinned for half an hour.

Furthermore, we have reuned with Bro. Avery—Maurice Hussey Avery. We just collected his dues (class dues—some of you fellows don't know there are such things, but there are) ; we take 'em alphabetically. Also in this case we picked 'em easiest. Maurice, so far as we know, was the only one, ourselves excepted, to pay his dues in full in advance for ten years, up to the 20th reunion. That noble action cost him fifty bones in 1913, and now he has paid them through to the 25th.

Well, anyway, Bro. Avery is the picture of health, fat, almost chubby, active, we would say handsome but for fear this might bring a howl from as far South as Georgia and Willy Woolverton. He had put in the holidays at Nashua, N. H., with his people, and also saw Charles Luce a few moments. Mous missed the Twentieth through no fault of his own, so we were the more glad to see him.

And now for the Chicago Pow-Wow. I am not going, for very good reasons, aside from any other, which I hope to give in our next issue. Ned Kenerson is expected to be there. We understand this is planned so our teachers and those interested in them can be there. M. B. French would like to go, and may. Minneapolis has promised all her members; this means Hoke. We expect Bill Grant; if our executive committee can't be there, who can? Schlatter is in the teaching game;. the N.E.A. meets then, and this means you are to be there, Eddie. If anyone else goes on from the East, I'd expect it to be Kid Cohen, and maybe General Jackson. Good chance, General, to see this side the Mississippi, and Jack Crowell will take care of you. This is an offer. Brat Wentworth will be there. I know he will, because he hasn't said he would. Bolster and Pierpont; Bolster because he was on to the 20th and Pierpont because he wasn't Of course all 'O3 men are to understand that they are cordially invited to attend the Pow-Wow. We couldn't call a regular class reunion at this time, since the 20th was so very recent, but 'O3 will be there, and there will be special things for the class members as a class.

Ted Hale and Hooker Haugan, you understand, are prominent citizens, and aside from any other reasons are on the general committee of the Pow-Wow. This leaves McEldowney, Hinckley, now at 257 Maple Ave., Oak Park, in business with Critchfield and Company, 223 West Jackson Boulevard, and good old Herb Follett. I trust they will call up Jack Crowell, and not wait for him just because he is our executive committee member there, and naturally will take the brunt in preparing for the 'O3 crowd that I feel sure will come to the Pow-Wow. Good chance for Chauncey Colton to see some of the old crowd. Carroll Paul I will bet will be there.
