CLASS OF 1903
The addresses of two members of our class are particularly desired by your Secretary and by the Alumni Records Office at Hanover. The one address has been lost for years, that of Cyril A. Smith, formerly of Middleboro, Mass., and the other, that of Joseph A. McVicar, formerly of Brooklyn, N. Y., seems to be incorrect. If you know anything about either of these men drop me a line before you seek the downy couch.
We are indebted to Arthur E. McClary of Malone, N. Y., for the "'O5 News," published occasionally by the class of 1905. It tells particularly and in a happy vein of the Twenty-fifth Reunion last June and abounds in pictures taken in that period. To realize that our tender care of these Twenty-fivers through their verdant period in college has resulted so marvelously is perhaps more than you can appreciate without a special, showing of the pictures. Just visualize ten men together as Gilman, Vaughan, McCabe. Brown, Clough, Donnelly, Conley, Smith, Lillard, and Newick—all "D" men. Then appears a picture of the ten bald-headed men of the class, and '03 sighs "What a. shame." We thank you, Arthur, and congratulate you upon your entrance into the secretaries' field of effort.
The Journal of the National EducationalAssociation conducts a ranking of the five Journal articles each month best liked by its many readers, and for October "The Changing Family" by Ernest R. Groves, Dartmouth 1903, was tied for first place.
Gordon Bennett, son of Dr. Hamblin P. Bennett, is attending Hebron Academy in preparation for Dartmouth.
Victor M. Cutter's boy is down at Tabor Academy, likewise headed for the North Country.
"The Twenty-twoter," "The Workingman's Friend," or in translation the latest letter of the secretary to the class of 1922, is a welcome visitor on our desk and is deserving of much commendation. The letter proves very definitely that Francis H. Horart is a full-time secretary. It is not a far stretch of the imagination to think of a radio announcement in 1950, "The next half hour has been purchased by the secretary of the class of 1948 of Dartmouth College for his second annual report of the herculean efforts of its members in this busy world."
During this period of unemployment your Secretary would be glad to feel that he had given each of you at least a part-time job while writing him a word of encouragement, a bit of family news, the fact that you have been elected to the Hole-in-one Club at fifty years of age, or that you have pointed out to your son in the freshman class the wonderful scholastic record you made at Dartmouth.
Secretary, 198 Humphrey St., Marblehead, Mass.
