CLASS OF 1903

Maurice and Evelyn Avery came north from Washington, D. C., this summer to spend a vacation period in Maurice's old home town, Nashua, N. H. Maurice is reported to have in mind a trip to Europe for the summer of 1931. We hope and trust that he will page "Bob" Davis over in France, and inform him that his presence is requested in 1933 at our thirtieth reunion.

The Vermont Dartmouth Association meeting at Randolph in October elected as president Clayton Erwin of Bellows Falls. We extend our congratulations to the association as well as to you, Clayt.

Oscar Mechlin is in charge of construction of the new post office building of Boston, Mass. His family is still resident in Washington, D. C.

Frederick Watson, Dartmouth 1930, son of William H., is teaching in the chemistry department and working for an M.A. degree.

A letter from Paul McKee of Oconomowoc, Wis., reveals the fact that he has been far from idle since his days on the campus and his subsequent graduation from the University of Wisconsin in 1903. From country newspaper work to the practice of law and country banking business, Paul has risen to the position of vice-president and secretary of the Carnation Company of Oconomowoc, Wis., which does an international business in the packing and sale of evaporated milk under the "Carnation" brand and is engaged also in the manufacture and sale of cereal products on the west coast, operating the latter business under the name of the Albers Brothers Milling Company. The Carnation Company owns and operates several evaporated milk plants in continental Europe and through an export company is engaged in business in about seventy foreign countries. Paul's son graduated in June from the Graduate School of Business Administration of Harvard University.

The class is once more indebted to Morton French for his splendid work in raising the class quota of the Alumni Fund. Even if the dial system doesn't please the senators at Washington, it seems to work efficiently for "Bolz," for he always attains the 100 percent.

Speaking of records, Ned Kenerson broke his in securing the largest attendance ever at the class dinner following the Mass-Meetingof the Dartmouth-Fellers the night before the Harvard-Dartmouth game. Freddy Baker, the bachelor of the class, was down from Lancaster, N. H., "Babe" Grant was on from Denver, Paul from Marquette, Mich., and "Tute" Worthen came all the way from Los Angeles. The presence of "Tute" made attendance doubly worth while. To those who were not there let me say that "Tute" is still slender and hard of muscle, and has the same genial smile and twinkle of the eye as of old. With the rain pouring down outside, "Tute" sat there and openly boasted of the neverfailing sunshine of California, etc., etc., and what could New Englanders say in return? M. R. came to the rescue with "God bless you, Tute, it's the first rain we've had in months, and it's for your benefit."

The following were present: Baker, Bates, Brown, M. R., Bergengren, Burbeck, Cutter, Grant, Hall, Hanlon, Howard, Johnson, Keyes, Kenerson, Luce, Morrison, C. E., Morrison, C. F., Neal, Paul, Ruppel, Smith, O. W., Watson, and Worthen.

"Nat" Batchelder, "Al" Pratt, "Tubby" Edwards, Jim McManus, Laurence Swan, and Hamlin Bennett were sighted at the Water Carnival.

The family party held at the University Club following the Water Carnival was decidedly wet. The president of the class, hearing of the prospect, came over from New York and graced the occasion to the great pleasure of all present. Grant, on from Denver, brought his son William, class of 1930, and two charming young ladies from Smith College, Miss O'Connor and Miss Hart. The "regulars," and I record advisedly, were Amy and O. W. Smith, Helen and M. R. Brown, Edith and W. H. Watson, Charlotte and Ned Kenerson, Minnie and Alex Stockwell, Sue and "Meat" Hanlon, Edith and Ned Burbeck.
