RECIPE FOR A SPLENDID WEEK-END

Into your auto, Bantam Austin, or what means of conveyance have you, place your family. Add sufficient luggage, golf sticks, and other paraphernalia for a happy weekend.

Drive the car through the Central Adirondack region, past the Fulton chain of lakes, wild Racquet Lake, lovely Blue Mountain Lake, Long Lake with the higher Adirondack peaks blue in the distance, Tupper Lake, beautiful upper Saranac Lake. Saturate everybody well with the mountain air and scenery.

Then drive the auto through the northern Adirondack woods into the town of Malone. Turn left at the hotel, take the third left up a shady street to a beautiful old brick mansion on a knoll. There discover your genial class Secretary coming from his porch to greet you.

Accept Mac's generous hospitality. Admire his fine old family homestead. Partake of his viands. During a July evening, sit in front of his open fire (yes, the fire is lighted), talk of your respective families, their ambitions and accomplishments; of Dartmouth, past, present, and future. Look over Mac's collection of 1905 snapshots and photographs, note his class records and files. Reminisce of past enjoyable class reunions; discuss plans for future reunions.

Regretfully take your leave. The foregoing recipe has been thoroughly proven and is personally vouched for by the author, even though the embellishment of Mrs. Mac's and family's presence had to be foregone, due to their absence among her old home scenes at Portsmouth, N. H.

Henry S. Brintnall, who was with us in college for two years, is now a banker in Los Angeles. In a letter to C. C. Hills, "Brint" says, among other things, "My mother passed away last year at the age of 85. She had no particular illness but died of old age just gave out. Father died about nine years ago. Gus Ayers and his family of several children have been living across the street from me, but he has now gone to Boulder Dam, where he has some work lined up for the next six or seven years. I came near coming back to New England this summer but could not quite make it; maybe I will in a few years, but it sure is a long trip from here."

L. C. Grover called on the Hills family at their estate in the Norwich suburbs last summer. C. C. says that L. C. shows no signs of wear and tear and continues to flourish at North Dana, Mass. And L. C. says, "I am positive that I still have considerable vitality left in my old bones, although at times feel very positive that appearances are to the contrary."

Bob Clark and wife also called on C. C. in June. Bob spent one year in Dartmouth and then went to M. I. T., where he graduated. He has the old Dartmouth spirit, in spite of the fact that this was his first visit to Hanover since 1902. Bob says, "If there is an- other man in '05 who can equal my nonperformance along those lines, I can only say that he has my sympathy."

"Mary" Dillon, still a bachelor, in spite of his' letter, sent C. C. a good check this summer, and made the following offering, which we hope was not copyrighted: "Hope it helps to take the class out of the 'ruck.' Didn't feel as though I could do anything this year, and was about to write you to that effect when your last appeal reached me. I talked it over with the children and they agreed to stick to bread and water, with an apple a day, for the remainder of the month to make it up. You sure do send out the teariest appeals. Had idea I might be up there last Sunday and intended to give you the once over, but had to change my plans the last minute. Now it looks as though I wouldn't be able to make Hanover until fall, although I am thinking of taking in the summer session to see if I can pass off German I and Declamation. I think good old 'Craven' might pass me now, after taking one look at the absent hair and the good old vacillating paunch. I still think Jake Smith and myself were the best little declaimers he ever treated. Best of luck, C. C., to you and your family and the 1905 quota. Sorry I cannot do more, but pigs is pigs, and bears still persist in being bears. The proper authorities should den up some of them thar bars and clip 'em close, and give the sheared sheep a chance to fleece it up for the winter. With a long Wah-hoo-wah for the good old 'Whees,' I am Sincerely Yours,

"MARY"

Walter A. Conley, Jr., John E. Gilbert (0. B.'s son), John B. Gregory, and Halsey B. Loder, Jr., have entered Dartmouth with the class of '35. This gives us a total of 16 undergraduates and one graduate student in Hanover at the present time. We say this is a record, and we cordially invite other secretaries to establish that we are in error.

At the same time we humbly admit (because we have to) that we fell down a bit as to the freshman class this year. The class of '03 beat us out with their total of seven; and even 'OB trimmed us with a score of five, forcing us to tie with '09 for third place with a strong four. Five classes sent three each, and a couple of pairs and seven singletons make up the total of 46 for the year, which is seven less than in the class of 1934.

Mr. and Mrs. Randolph Frothingham toured Europe this summer, driving their own car. We are glad to learn this, and hope it will lead to our getting their present address, as our recent mail has not connected.

Remember the class round-up at the Boston City Club November 6, the night before the Harvard game. Write or 'phone Bob Harding, 40 Court St., Boston, Room 1017, that you will be there.

Did you like that picture of the executive committee? Good idea, wasn't it? Will be glad to furnish additional copies at any time; had a supply printed to be ready for the demand. That's the trouble today: too much supply and not enough demand. Hope our demand for news will meet an ample supply. Then success is sure and depression is ended, in this field at least.

By Airmail from Johnny R. Post, of Berkeley, Cal.: "In a couple of months Stanford will be tripping East to play Dartmouth at Harvard. I wish that I could give you some encouraging news, but I can't. Stanford will have a crackerjack team before the season is over. 'Pop' Warner always brings his team along slowly, and last season they played better in the Dartmouth game than in any other. So while you will have to support the Green, I wouldn't bet too much cold cash on the result. But I will give you the low-down later in the year."
