Class of 1906
Eric Kelly's leave of absence from the College has been extended for the next semester. Eric has been suffering from arthritis since last March, and although his condition is much improved, he still feels the need of spending more time in a climate warmer than Hanover's. Mail will reach him at Ojo Caliente, New Mexico.
Converse Chellis is finding his work as treasurer of Kimball Union Academy at Meriden most interesting. He has held this position since the reorganization of the Academy last summer.
Walter Powers and his family are living this winter at 330 Dartmouth St., Boston. Evidently Newton is too far out in the country for winter residence. In town, of course it would be Dartmouth Street.
Bug Gardiner writes from Seattle:
"I am very much in hopes that I will beat out thirtieth reunion, but I am in aposition of just about winding up one contract construction job and not knowingwhere the next one will find me. I surehope it won't prevent me from being withyou all, as I have only been to our tenthand twentieth and may not live till thefortieth comes along All the familyis fine Turtle and his wife spent afew days with us during the last week inAugust, and we certainly had a good timetogether. Every now and then I see HarryHigman and Lee Martin, but seldom manage to contact anyone else in the class.The Princeton-Dartmouth game was broadcasted on the Western coast, and the familyenjoyed listening to it, but I didn't get achance to and so missed all the comedy connected with the Dartmouth ringer whomade the Ail-American team by his unannounced appearance in taking on the wholePrinceton team. I did hear the last fewminutes of a play-by-play telegraphic account of the Yale-Dartmouth game whilein Portland and joined the rest of the crazygang, who like everybody else among thealumni, was glad to see the old jinx brokenat last."

The Northwest Alumni Association held its customary holiday gathering at the home of Henry Thrall, 1942 Humboldt Ave. S., Minneapolis, on December 29. The purpose of the gathering was for alumni and undergraduates to become better acquainted and to meet men who plan on entering Dartmouth next fall. The fathers of Dartmouth men were also invited.
Already men are beginning to promise that they will be present in Hanover in June to make our reunion the best ever. Brooks, Chellis, Bell, Eastman, Gardiner, Gray, Page, both the Mains—these are some who say they are coming. As Gott Brooks writes: "Thirty years backward aren't solong as forward, but plenty long eitherway."
