Class of 1903

In the work of gathering material for our class report an endeavor has been made especially to stir an interest in the coming 35th year reunion. Ernest Brown, of his own initiative, sent out postcards to every member of the class bearing a green ink impression of Dartmouth Hall and the Tower with the words, "1903—Let's go—1938." The response has been most gratifying both in terms of the number of letters sent forward for the report and in the number of positive declarations of intent to be on hand in June. A splendid representation of the class is assured at this early date. As the time approaches for the trek back to the college where we spent the best four years of our lives, other men are going to feel the urge, and the best reunion of all the years since graduation is going to take place. The following men have promised to be there: Freddie Baker, Nat Batchelder, Hamlin Bennett, Roy Bergengren, E. L. Brown, Dick Brown, Ray Brown, Ned Burbeck, Bucky Bates, Stan Cobb, Kid Cohen, Vic Cutter, Bob Davis, Charlie Dondero, Arthur Decatur, Tinker Erwin, Bob Follett, Bolz French, Babe Grant, Ernest Groves, Forrie Hall, Lewis Haney, Meat Hanlon, Harold Hess, Pip Howard, Andrew Jackson, Herbert Kelley, Ned Kenerson, Horace Kidger, Harold King, Leigh Kimball, Bucky Lewers, Doc Linnell, Brutus Luce, Bob McGowan, John McElroy, Clarence Morrison, Ralph Neal, Arthur Noyes, Ralph Pillsbury, Henry Porter, George Reed, Howard Ropes, George Sleicher, Eddie Schlatter, Aggie Smith, O. W. Smith, Sherm Smith, Alex Stockwell, Laurie Swan, Pray Wadham, Harry Watson, Prex Whelden, Dana Whipple, Earle Wilson, Mike O'Malley.

Count the names and look the list over. February ist and four months to go. Look for your old pals, and if their names are not there drop them a line and tell them you want to see them in Hanover. Aggie Smith has offered to transport anyone from Binghamton, N. Y., and return. That's the spirit, Aggie.

Roy Bergengren has written that on a recent trip to San Francisco he saw Bob Follett, who seemed to be happy and well and decidedly on the "up and up" in a business way. Bob, you know, has graduated from managing other people's business to carrying on stores of his own, and has taken his son, who graduated from Dartmouth last year, into the business.

Word comes from Frank Wentworth, Treasurer of Mills College, Calif., that he is contacting the Potholeskers on the Coast, dragging out of them letters for the report, and promises to join a special party headed for the reunion. Hamp Howe's old coach should meet those wild Westerners at the Junct.

Wynne Matteson, that builder of great highways, with office at San Francisco, has lately been pegged up a notch and called to Denver, Colo., to act as district engineer to U. S. Bureau of Public Roads. His office is now at 254 New Customhouse, Denver, Colo., where he will be tickled to death to see any of the 'O3 men. Wynne's daughter will graduate this year from the University of California, and consequently her mother will remain on the Coast until after her graduation.

Clarence Morrison, formerly of Ridgewood, N. J., has been hospitalized no less than three times in the past two years, having had a real battle with a desperate little germ which produces pneumonia. Clarence has finally won decisively, and is now located in Dumont, N. J., where he can be near to his new employment with a color printing firm—The Arrow Press—of New York City.

Andrew Jackson, attorney for the Securities and Exchange Commission at Washington, writes in a happy vein that by June his superiors will quite likely feel that a change of scene—for a few days only —will do him a world of good. He pleads for the presence of Doctor Schlatter, meaning Eddie, whom he says he hasn't seen in thirty-five years. Will somebody put the pressure on Eddie, for we all want him with us. The last word from Eddie stated that he was tuning up the car for the trip back.

Susan Hanlon, the best half of the Hanlon family, is just now vacationing in a Boston hospital, having undergone a delicate and unusual operation for the relief of her trouble of some five years' standing. Her many friends in the class family will be glad to hear of the splendid recovery she is now making and that she is definitely pointing toward the 35th year reunion as her real celebration.

William H. Conner's new address is R. F. D. 1, Franklin, N. H., just over the Tilton line, where he has bought an overnight camp proposition and intends to develop it in such a way as to satisfy all Dartmouth men and particularly those of 1903. Give Hayden a call when on the road to Hanover or points farther north. A loud 1903-up will raise the proprietor day or night.

Henry Dwight Cushing sends in his address for business as of 67 West 44th St., New York City. Classification—advertising.

Frank S. Drown still bothers the post office at Truckee, Calif., which offers to forward all mail bearing a three-cent stamp to his location. Today I received a letter and a snapshot of his Royal Highness from Texas. Tomorrow he may be in Philadelphia, but Truckee is his home address.

Daniel Roy Hinckley may be located at 161014 19th Ave., Nashville, Tenn.
