1898*

This is traveling time for a number of '98ers.

Ich and Mary Crane are leaving on the Lady Drake of the National Canadian Steamship Company, February 11, from Boston for a cruise in southern climes. This is the same boat that Ted Leggett and his wife took last October. The Cranes plan to get off at Port of Spain, Trinidad, and then pick up the Lady Drake on her return trip five or six days later.

Mr. and Mrs. William J. Witte of 81 Hillcrest Ave., Park Hill, Yonkers, N. Y., sailed on the SS Gripsholm on Tuesday, January 31, for a cruise around South America. They are going first to Havana, then Colon, down the west coast of South America to Lima, Valparaiso, Santiago, getting off at the Chilean lakes and flying from there to Buenos Aires, continuing up on the east coast of South America to Rio de Janeiro and the Amazon River, thence home. They expect to be away two months, returning the first of April.

Joe Carney and his wife are spending their usual vacation in Florida.

George Farley and his wife are spending three weeks on the Mississippi, arriving in New Orleans for the Mardi Gras. We all hope they will have one fine time.

One of our very much beloved classmates has taken that long journey from which no one returns. Dr. "Baldy" Walker passed away September 29. A necrology notice will appear in another column of this MAGAZINE.

At the Boston alumni banquet held February 2 at the Hotel Somerset there were present Buck Chandler, Charles Littlefield, Dennis Crowley, and the Secretary, and a good time was had by all. Bob Peck wanted to come to the banquet, but it came in the midst of the busy examination period and, like the faithful man he is, duty came first. I received under date of February 2 a friendly letter from our Chief Justice Sherman Moulton, expressing his regrets at not being able to attend.

At the recent complimentary dinner given to Governor Leverett Saltonstall by the citizens of Newton, the Secretary had the real pleasure of sitting next to the Rev. Edward T. Sullivan, D.D., who preaches in St. Paul's Cathedral in Boston in the summer time. When he learned I was a Dartmouth man, he said, "I saw in looking up the records of St. Paul's that an alumnus of Dartmouth, 1801, was on the building committee." I inquired who the gentleman might be, and he said, "It was one Daniel Webster." So '98 salutes the worthy member ]of 1801 who was making his life useful in the early part of the last century.

Secretary, 57 Grove Hill Ave., Newtonville, Mass.
