Class of 1897

This is to introduce Mary Jane Folsom, only child of the late "Kid" Folsom 1897. An uncle, Henry Folsom 1892, is also dead. But the grandfather, Honorable Channing Folsom 1870, is one of Dartmouth's oldest and most vigorous graduates. Those who know Channing and remember "Kid" will see Folsom characteristics in the eyes of this charming maiden. Mary Jane is ten years old and lives with her mother in Ben Lomond, Calif. Last summer after a long automobile ride she visited her grandfather and was entertained by her father's friends Doc Towle, Jack Ela, and Jerry Simpson.
