CLASS OF 1903
"Dear John: "Last night you were paddling a canoe, clothed (you, not the canoe) in a bathing suit. I was in the stern of the canoe without a paddle, and also without the pants to my suit. The river was swift, but we landed safely, and were soon amid many old Dartmouth boys. All this is an excerpt from dreams . . . etc., etc.
"E. B. SCHLATTER."
"Sincere regards to you, and to the class through you. Though I am seldom able to get back, my thoughts and heart are with the crowd. Sorry to lose Henry Haugan.
"PBAY WADHAM."
"My dear John: . . . Susan is starting in algebra, and I suppose next fall will be tackling Latin. She hasn't asked me to help her yet, but the expose of pa's ignorance will have to come pretty soon now, I'm afraid. No Dartmouth news for you; I might as well be on a desert island. Your letter in the ALUMNI MAGAZINE is looked forward to each month, as it is about my only contact.
"AUBERT SMITH."
"Dear Demijohn: "Here's how . . . Last week Cornelia and I spent a day in Winchester and Boston with and Charlotte, and had a splendid time. It's good to see Kenie's nice home and family. There's no news with me. You can't get an item out of this if you print it twice. ('Zat so, Jake?) School runs smoothly and busily and matters at home are the same. Justin H. is a senior in high school, but won't try to make Dartmouth next year. I am thankful that I don't have to try to get in these days!
"JAKE SMITH."
"Dear John:
"I was glad to have your letter. lam going out to Cleveland next week to the N. E. A., and I am expecting to see some of the Dartmouth crowd there. No word has come from George Hoke in reply to my letter . . .
(Get busy, George.)
"KENTE."
"Dear John: "Have seen little of the boys this winter. Had a nice time with Buck at the alumni dinner. He sure is a nice fellow. Bolz and I talk on the phone now and then. He lives in Montclair, which does not make it so easy to see him. I spent a few days in Hanover in early September; just as fine as ever . . .
"KID COHEN."
And in the Tabor Log, weekly newspaper of Tabor Academy, one lamps that the two Mudge boys are on the editorial staff as well as the football team. Further, Bertram is captain of 1928 team, and class president of 1929. Edwin Mudge leads the scholarship team with a mark of 86. The paper states that this is the highest honor Tabor gives. Some-fine pair of boys, Oat.
Your Secretary's son, John, Jr., expects to receive his bachelor's degree next June from the University of Chicago, with something like a year's credit in the Law School under his belt. In addition, Mary Kerr Burchard, his granddaughter, is nearly seven months old, and is sporting two teeth.
Any of the rest of you guys want to brag about your kids, send in the dope. All is grist to the mill.
The estate of Henry Haugan was probated recently. According to an item in a Chicago paper, total assets aggregated approximately $1,500,000. Most of the estate was left in the will to the widow and son.
Mike Dunn passed through Chicago twice recently, on some kind of a buccaneering expedition to New Mexico. He called us on the phone on his way out, and again on his return. On the latter occasion he asked how to get hold of Dan Hinckley. Did you get him, Mike? And Dan, you might give me a ring sometime if not too busy. I've something I want to say to you.
Haven't heard a word from Ernest Brown since he called a month ago. Did you get by Montreal all right, Ernest? I've worried about you. But, if I stopped to worry about all the guys who don't take the trouble to reassure me about themselves, I'd be kept pretty busy.
The Weekly Bulletin issued by the College tells of the rousing welcome given by the students to the explorer Stefansson, who recently spent a week in Hanover lecturing. Present-day undergrads certainly get the cream in the way of entertainment.
