Class of 1887

Hardy and Winn were in the flood zone in California: Hardy escaped damage, no word from Winn. Cleaves reports a gloomy winter in San Francisco, with excessive rains, a bad winter for arthritis, from which he has suffered Morse employs his leisure in reading, mostly in the line of political history. He is an ardent supporter of President Roosevelt and his policies. Hoquiam, his home town in Washington, is on the coast, and has a very mild winter climate. He wrote that he had noticed ice but once Gage, Sanborn, Welch, White, and Rice met at Tampa, March 14, and with Corwin and wife enjoyed a brief get-together and dinner. Austin '85 and Kelly '86 were expected from St. Petersburg, but were detained. An amusing prelude was Sanborn's encounter with a stranger, a Wisconsin woman, to whom Frank was showing the layout for the dinner, explaining that it was a Dartmouth affair. "Dartmouth", she exclaimed; "what's Dart-mouth?" "Why, Dartmouth College, youknow." "Never heard of it; where is it?""It is in New Hampshire." "Where is NewHampshire?" "Why, between Maine andVermont, you know." "Oh, yes, I've heardof Maine and Vermont; they voted forLandon." .... Junkins recently called on Head at Hooksett, N. H., in connection with material for Dartmouth '87, and found him living in the old homestead, built on the site of the dwelling erected by the first of the name in 1636. He is one of the few who settled in his home town and became one of the town fathers, having served his community in the House of Representatives and Senate, and on the school committee for fifty years. . . . . On return to Boston the Secretary made the acquaintance of Sargent's son, Albert. He bears a close resemblance to his father. .... A call was made on Willey at Portsmouth. He has been confined to his room since January, and does not seem to gain.
