Class of 1903
On Sunday, February 18, the Boston and Maine R. R. ran a special snow train to Hanover under the auspices of the Boston Alumni Association. The sole representative of 1903 was Ralph Neal, who thoughtfully sent me a postcard. He reported a most delightful trip, "and for the first timesince'graduation I have seen the whole college in town." The scene of today is greatly changed from that of our day, when winter was an endured period of the year. Thanks, Ralph, for the card.
Harold V. Palmer of Reading, Mass., has opened an automobile agency and garage at Stoneham, Mass., carrying the Chevrolet car. Title, The Palmer Sales Company.
A letter from Forrest Brown '92, principal of the Amesbury High School, with relation to the death of Cleland Neal, is of interest to you all. I quote in part. "Ipersonally knew Cleland very well andknew his family from infancy. I fitted himfor college. He was a likable fellow inschool. It so happened that on your twenty fifth anniversary I was at Dartmouth attending the graduation of my son. I am ofthe opinion that the College has a prettygood idea of Cleland's achievement sincegraduation. His father was among the earlycarriage builders of Amesbury and one timedid a flourishing business in the manufacture of the so-called phaeton under thefirm name of Neal ir Bolser. I knew all thechildren well, in fact I graduated them allfrom the high school." How often it is that our old teachers follow the careers of their pupils with pride in their achievements and admiration in the development of their characters.
He is at it again. Yes, sir. After last year's experience in attempting the telemark amid the peaks of the Sierras, Frank Wentworth of Berkeley, Calif., is reported in "Squeaks from the Golden Gate" as attending a Dartmouth party of Selden Smith's ('97) at the Ski Club at Norden and as being somewhere in a class by himself as a skier. Page Tute Worthen down in Los Angeles next winter, Frank. I warrant he hasn't forgotten all he used to know about fast traveling on the snowy surfaces.
On February 17, 1934, at Leslie Lindsey chapel of Emmanuel church, Miss Margaret Fitts, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Fitts of Newton, Mass., was married to Mr. Stephen Cochran Currier of Newton. The Rev. Frederic Whitney Fitts, cousin of the bride, officiated at the ceremony. After March 15 Mr. and Mrs. Currier will be at home at 24 Ivey St., Newton, Mass.
Meat and Sue Hanlon with Cliff and Ann Perry (Cliff of '06 vintage) have just returned from a three weeks' vacation in Florida, and report a most enjoyable trip. Stops were made in New York and Washington and '03 contacts made of which we shall hope to hear later. This is the first evidence shown by Meat that he has passed the fifty-year mark, and, believe it or not, he left his golf clubs at home.
George Reed, commissioner of public works of Montpelier, Vt., has recently written an interesting letter of his CWA, PWA, and XYZ problems, together with keeping the roads clear of forty inches of snow. George and Tute Worthen with their engineering experience ought to make a great team. Both of them thin as rails and short of stature, but with nervous and mental systems furnishing great driving power. George writes with just pride of his family, consisting of his wife, Lela H., his son, Sheldon Clark, Dartmouth '32, now studying at Harvard for a Ph.D., his second son Fay Ashton, Dartmouth '35, a daughter, Dorrit Genevieve, born May 12, 1925, and a second daughter, Arlene Winona, born May 16, 1928.
Secretary, 198 Humphrey St., Marblehead, Mass.
