Class of 1903
James Francis Smith, principal of the Brigham Academy in Bakersfield, Vt., writes most encouragingly of his work this year, and when "Jake" writes more than two lines on any subject you may be sure he is not only interested but happy. "Jake" says that Bakersfield is "a quiet little townwith the Academy the chief item (then so absolutely characteristic of "Jake," adds), not that that is big." He describes in terms of greatest pleasure a recent visit which Ned and Charlotte Kennerson made upon him last fall, and urges other 1903 men journeying through northern Vermont to hunt him out.
D. Roy Hinckley of Nashville, Tenn., has been elected president of the Nashville Dartmouth Alumni Association, for which group he has served as secretary for the past few years. Dan is thoroughly enjoying his life in Nashville, although the old north country still brings forth most precious memories. At the time Dan wrote his children were out on skis, while we of the more northern clime hadn't seen more than a total of half an inch of snow. His boy is unquestionably headed for Dartmouth with a confirmed habit of attaining A's in his scholastic efforts and a love for the outof-doors.
Fred W. Baker of Lancaster, N. H., in speaking of Billy Grant's letter says, "Incidentally I learned more English historythan I did in a year's time in Hanover. Itis also wonderful to hear about the home ofJohnnie Walker and to know he is not afake. Hundreds of Dartmouth men are beingcheated out of something important unlessthis news is translated into the MAGAZINE.I can believe in Santa Clans now. After Billyhas had a well-earned rest, I for one,would appreciate his close-up on the NewDeal, which I infer is being mulled over inhis mind."
REPORT REQUESTED OF MR. GRANT
Eddie Schlatter of Madison, Wis., wrote just before Christmas, enclosing a snapshot of his "better half" seated before a loom upon which was a most intricate design of weaving and with Eddie doing the heavy commenting from the rear. Both Mrs. Schlatter and Eddie look well and happy. Many thanks, Eddie, for your thoughtfulness. Commenting upon Billy Grant's views, he says, "I think my ideas run with Billy'sin regard to other matters he happens totouch upon, especially about education."
Ernest L. Brown of Wakefield, Mass., dropped in the other night for a five-minute call and pronounced himself fit as a fiddle. E. L. says he has recently had his machine thoroughly overhauled and is now going on all eight cylinders with increased power and pep. How many of you fellows remember the exhibition of power and pep E. L. put on at the ball game down by the river at our tenth reunion? How E. L. could run toward the keg on second! No more ball games, E. L., but you might show our golfers.
Harry S. Blaisdell has changed his address from Gloversville to 79 N. Manning Blvd., Albany, N. Y.
Secretary, 198 Humphrey St., Marblehead, Mass.
