Class of 1897

Charles Alden Tracy, for more than a generation principal of Kimball Union Academy, has now claimed for himself a year of rest and recreation. He has bought a house in Amherst, N. H., a town which surpasses all others in restful dignity. Tracy is trying to absorb thirty annual vacations running consecutively. Only three miles from Amherst is Wilton, N. H., where Barbara Ellen Tracy lives, the first grandchild, now three months old. Stephen Tracy, Barbara's father, graduated from Dartmouth in 1927.

Mrs. Dunklee, widow of Maurice, is living with her youngest son, John, in Meriden, N. H. The older son, Richard, a bovine tester in Vermont, married during the summer Marion Drake of West Lebanon.

Members of the class have read with satisfaction the list of Dartmouth sons in the freshman class of the College. 1897 has two representatives, and no other earlier than 1899 is honored in the list. One of the two sons of 1897 is John King Adams of Salamanca, N. Y„ only child of George A. Adams. Mr. Adams died in 1925, a lawyer who had rendered eminent service in his profession. The other son is Ralph Parker Folsom Jr. Ralph is one of six children, and our class looks forward to being represented six or seven years later by William and Richard. Dr. Folsom for a considerable number of years has been superintendent of the Hudson River State Hospital at Poughkeepsie, N. Y.
