Class of 1909

Curt Hilliard has been elected second vice-president of the Massachusetts Association of Boards of Health. Curt has been interested in matters of public health for some time, and his writings on the subject are authoritative and of high standing. His honors are well deserved.

Bob and Marj Burns took a United Fruit boat for a twelve-day trip to Jamaica early in January, and came back brown, rested, and happy. Both had been overworked and needed a vacation.

The Boston Dartmouth Alumni Lunch Club at the Parker House in Boston has been well attended and quite successful. While any Dartmouth alumnus is welcome at any time, the "preferred day" for 'OB, 'O9, and 'lO is Monday of each week. Make a practice of dropping in whenever you are down that way. You will find someone you know and will be glad to see and will go away with at least one good new story. The food is good and the prices are reasonable. We won't call it officially a weekly class luncheon, but it amounts to the same thing. Try it out, you'll like it.

The Tuttle and Sheldon babies are making fine progress. How are yours?

Kate Irwin came up from Porto Rico in December to transfer young Jimmie to a new school. Kate was the house guest of the Averys while in Boston and attended numerous Dartmouth dinner parties and other gatherings. Both Bunk and Kate are enjoying very much their stay in Porto Rico, which will be presumably for about three years. Bunk is with the 65th Infantry, but is assigned to special duty, i.e., he is in charge of the training of the Porto Rico militia, more particularly the militia officials. Kate and Bunk live at the army post, which is located on a small peninsula across which the trade winds blow almost continuously, so that the heat is not oppressive. They do lots of horseback riding, and Bunk plays golf nearly every day on the army post golf course, which is a good one. Bunk is back in first class condition and scoring in the low seventies again. No army officer has to sit up nights thinking out ways to spend his income (who does?), but his life certainly has many compensating features.

Art Graves came into Boston on a matter of an RFC loan for one of his clients, but we only had a few minutes with him be cause he had to finish the job in a hurry to be on his way to argue a case before the Circuit Court of Appeals. Art is not quite as slim as he used to be, but full of vim, vigor, and legal ability.
