Class of 1903
On October 25 fifteen men gathered at the Boston City Club to enjoy what proved to be one of the best round-ups we have had in a long time. These fifteen men quickly dropped the weight of years and were once more the boys of 1903. When the telephone rang and "Oom" Paul, just off the train from Marquette, Mich., asked, "Where areyou fellows secreting yourselves," visions of winning the trophy for distance traveled fled from the minds of the Granite Staters and the Vermonters. "Oom" reported not having seen a 1903 man for a year. His genial smile and enthusiasm introduced from the Middle West added much to the occasion. George Reed from Montpelier, Vt., with his quiet chuckle and concise repartee lamented the fact that he was unable to carry back the trophy mentioned above, but was delighted to hand it on to "Oom" Paul.
Again the entrance of that fine old soul, Hy Ruppel, turned loose the spigot of reminiscence and the yarn of the Montreal banquet of sophomore year, the battle with physics I and 11, the sophomore—freshman rush, yes, and even the comment on Hamp Howe's choice stable of equines kept all in a gale of laughter until a late hour. To have heard the debate between Vic Cutter and Hy on the subject of modern psychology would have proven to Dr. Home the value of his courses at Dartmouth. And so I could run on telling you fellows who missed this 1935 round-up how much you lost. In the words of Bob McGowan, who was present for the first time since graduation, "Neveragain will I miss a class function." Who's next?
Greetings from the New York members of the class were early received from Bolz French, incidentally asking if the Boston crowd really had any golf scores to exhibit.
The following "boys" were present: Prexie Whelden, Ralph Keyes, Meat Hanlon, George Reed, Harry Watson, Dick Brown, O. W. Smith, Oom Paul, Vic Cutter, Ned Kenerson, Hy Ruppel, Bob McGowan, Bucky Bates, Charlie Luce, and Ned Burbeck.
THE FAMILY DINNER
After the game on Saturday the 26th the family dinner was held at the Winchester Country Club and a most delightful evening spent. Here Ned Kenerson answered Bolz French's inquiry as regards golf scores by being presented with orders for two turkeys for scores in recent tournaments. Come on over, Bolz, and show your score cards. Those present: Marion and Horace Kidger, Charlotte and Ned Kenerson, Amy and O. W. Smith, Charlie Luce, Winifred and Charlie Hall, Edith and Harry Watson, and Edith and Ned Burbeck.
On October 14, at the home of Profesor and Mrs. Harold H. Scudder, Durham, N. H., occurred the wedding of their daughter, Elizabeth Hungerford Scudder, to Francis Edwin Robinson of Concord, N. H. Mrs. Robinson graduated in 1935 from New Hampshire University and Mr. Robinson in 1931. In 1933 he received his Master's degree from the same source. At present Mr. Robinson is secretary of the New Hampshire Farm Bureau Federation.
The official score cards for the football games bear the name of one of the sons of our classmates—Arthur J. Cohen Jr.
Secretary, 198 Humphrey St., Marblehead, Mass.
