CLASS OF 1902
We learn with regret that Leland Griggs has not been in the best of health lately,— the result of overwork. In fact, he has been obliged to spend about eight weeks in Dick's House. We hope he will "ease up" a little and get into first class shape before that big reunion comes in June, in which he fills so important a place. We understand Leland and his wife have two fine little boys to display to the class at that time.
Howard P. Stone has made his home in Chicago for the past twenty-four years, and can pretty nearly qualify as a native son. As a member of the firm of Powers and Stone, publishers' representatives, with offices in the First National Bank Building, Chicago, Howard covers the Middle Western territory in search of the illusive advertising dollar. His job is to sell space in those magazines and newspapers which are represented by his firm. The "General" is going to make a strenuous effort to reach Hanover in June.
Edgar F. Cilley lives in Berea, Ohio, and is employed by the Cleveland Automatic Machine Company as supervisor of apprentices and time study. Previous to his present position, he took up productive engineering and traveled extensively through the West and Southwest for the International Harvester Company. Ed suggests that the continual striving for intensive efficiency which has characterized the recent industrial life of the nation is partly responsible for our present period of over-production. He and his wife usually spend their vacations in motor trips through the Alleghany Mountains.
Moses B. Perkins is the Milwaukee representative of the International Fire Equipment Corporation, dealing in all kinds of fire-fighting equipment, with offices in the Carpenter Building, Milwaukee. On Sundays he serves as "stated supply" for the West Granville Presbyterian church. Apparently Mose sees no inconsistency in preaching "fire and brimstone" on Sundays and then on week-days selling the equipment to combat them. It will be recalled that Mose married the daughter of Professor E. J. Bartlett. They have two children, a daughter Eleanor, whose engagement was recently announced, and a son Richard, who is employed by the Lindsay Automatic Refrigeration Company as salesman.
Charles H. Dudley and his wife are conducting the Interlaken Camp for Girls. It is a very attractive summer camp and school located at Croydon, N. H. It is three miles from George's Mills at the head of Lake Sunapee. The camp property, known as Interlaken Forest, consists of nearly one thousand acres of field and woodland completely surrounding the lake and commanding approximately seven miles of shore line. Of the Dudley children, the oldest boy, Charles M., graduated from Dartmouth three years ago; Herman is a member of the junior class; Robert is a freshman at the University of Wisconsin; Constance is in Smith College; and Bernard expects to enter Dartmouth in a couple of years. We congratulate "Dud" on having a family like this to educate, and we sympathize with him on the "dent" it must make in his pocketbook.
Members of the class who intend to travel to the reunion by rail can secure a reduced rate of one and one-half fares for the round trip. In order to obtain this rate it will be necessary to secure a certificate to present to the ticket agent when the ticket is purchased. One certificate should be presented for each member of the party, and they can be secured either from Sid Hayward, secretary of the College, or from the class secretary.
The class congratulates Bill Murray on the scholastic attainments of his son Donald. To obtain the distinction of a senior fellowship is a fine accomplishment and one greatly coveted by all Dartmouth undergraduates. Besides his son Donald, Bill also has a daughter, who graduated last June from Wheaton.
The Secretary has just returned from a most enjoyable trip to Hanover to attend the conference of class secretaries held each year in the early part of May. A very interesting series of meetings is arranged, to say nothing of baseball games, banquets, etc. Whoever is to be our next class secretary will find a real treat in store for him in this annual trip back to the old College. It would seem this year as though the town looked finer than ever, and certainly anyone who has not seen the College for the last year or two will be amazed at the strides it has taken. The sight today is one to fill the heart of any Dartmouth graduate with pride. Just to walk down the new Mall at the beginning of Tuck Drive, with the Baker Library at one end and the wonderful new buildings of the Tuck School at the other, is a soul-satisfying _ experience. We recommend unqualifiedly a trip to Hanover as a real privilege.
Secretary, 319 Stevens St., Lowell, Mass.
