Class of 1898
It is interesting to note that as the men of '9B and their college generation get older their sons and daughters take their place on the stage in college life. Recently Mary Elizabeth Stevens, daughter of Everett M. Stevens, secretary of the class of 1901, invited to be her guest at a house party at Smith College Dick Spring of Dartmouth. Dick is the son of our classmate Jack.
The annual meeting of the Boston Alumni Association went off very pleasantly at the Copley Plaza the evening of March 7. Ninety-nine invited '98 to share its table, as both classes were below their normal number in attendance. "Hoppy," as usual, took an advanced position as regards the place that Dartmouth should take in the education of young men. We are glad to learn from Joe Bartlett that Ich Crane is back from Florida and that his vacation there was of much benefit to him.
The Secretary now and then drops in and sees Charles Reuel Carter at the Employers Liability Insurance Company, where he holds a responsible position.
Charlie Littlefield is kept busy by his official duties as head of the Masons of Rhode Island.
Dave Macandrew and Mrs. Macandrew, with their two charming daughters, dropped in for a visit one Sunday afternoon on the Secretary. They had been out for a pleasure ride, and all looked radiant with health and good cheer.
After an emergency operation for appendicitis, Bob Marden died at St. Francis hospital, Miami Beach, Fla., March 12 at midnight. Bob and his wife had been in Florida since Dec. 18, and he had been in excellent health and playing golf every day. The funeral was held at his home in Lowell, Mass., Saturday afternoon, March 16. A more extended notice will appear in the May MAGAZINE.
Charlie Montgomery has been made faculty adviser in athletics at the Newburyport High School, a position that he has well earned by the keen interest he has taken in athletics ever since he has been connected with the school.
The Secretary recently called on Sibley in North Brookfield and found him happy and busy with his insurance work and, as usual, keenly interested in everything pertaining to Dartmouth.
E. W. Snow and family have been residing in Brookline for the winter, having leased their attractive home in Wellesley.
The Secretary is very sorry to report that Harry Goodall's return to his very useful life is being delayed som ;what by continued ill health. I am sure that all hope for a complete comeback for our genial and gifted president.
Secretary, 57 Grove Hill Ave., Newtonville, Mass.
