Class of 1903
"Last summer the class with families hada picnic at my farm on the shores of LittleSunapee Lake in New London, N. H. Thefifty-seven present did not stretch the abilities of the Cutter family either as cooks orwaiters. We want more this year. The classis hereby invited to a picnic at the sameplace on Saturday August 3, 1935. Weshare the cost of food at about fifty centsper person, and the Cutters do the rest.There will be blueberries to pick, accompanied by speech on economics byHaney. Swimming led by Fat Smith. Eating with Meat Hanlon presiding. Reunionsired by Ned Burbeck. Many other features.
"All classmates and their families areurged to come. The picnic will be held rainor shine, as the house and barn will holdus if need be. Ask directions of anyone inNew London and come without furtherinvitation. Return postcards will be sentout shortly before August 5."
Ernest and Elaine Brown of Wakefield, Mass., paid us the honor of an all too brief call recently. E. L. is in fine shape and as enthusiastic about Dartmouth and the class of 1903 as ever. He says that the report out of Lancaster, N. H., about Attorney Freddie Baker's having taken unto himself a wife is all buncombe. How rumors will spread!
Over in Wakefield is another classmate, O. W. Smith, who has found relaxation during a hard winter's wrestling with estate taxes, etc., in stamp collecting. Doubtless some of you fellows have the bug also and can sympathize with him in his effort to keep up with the Farleys. By the way O. W. told me a sad story, a joke he played upon himself. O. W. has a record of never having missed the Boston alumni dinner. This year he received notice of the dinner, laid it aside on his desk and a few days after the dinner sent in his check for a ticket. Procrastination is-etc.
Earle Wilson of Stamford, Conn., takes every opportunity to turn from his school duties to the farm in Corinth, Vt. He and his oldest son took advantage of the spring vacation to see how the sap was running in the sugar orchard. Plenty of snow in the woods is the report, but with weather conditions excellent for the best run of sap in years. Last summer Earle and his family thoroughly enjoyed the class gathering at New London, and we hope they will be with us this year.
"Beck" Johnson '04 of Pittsfield, Mass., has recently written that he attended the Berkshire County Dartmouth Club dinner in April and found both George Musgrove and Edward Badger of our class. It was mighty kind of "Beck" to report his find, for we have seen little or none of these two classmates for years. We wish they would set aside August 3 for a visit with the class at Vic Cutter's farm. It's worth all the riding from Pittsfield to turn back the pages of years in a visit with classmates.
Frank S. Perham, "Andy," has recently sent along a new address, 6951 Wisconsin Ave., Bethesda, Md.
This concludes the 1903 notes for the year, and I want to thank you fellows for telling me so often of all the great things you have done. I've actually only faked one write-up, and as luck would have it I was not far wrong. Such success rather tempts me to "write-up" a few of the fellows I never hear from. Such write-ups might be worth the price of a subscription. At any rate let's swell our class subscription list for next year. Adios.
