THE ANNUAL FAMILY gathering of the Dartmouth men in Florida, their wives, and friends, was held in St. Petersburg on February 24th. Mrs. Mary Frost (Mrs. Edwin B. Frost '86) continued the pleasant custom of entertaining us at tea in the afternoon at her home in that city. Mrs. Glenn Gould '16 and Mrs. Carrol Hill '20 poured.

Austin 85 presided and introduced several speakers, including Fred C. Cleaveland '95, John A. Muehling for 61 years on the Manchester Union, who spoke of the things about newspapers which most of us overlook, and A. E.
