1889*

Since notes were sent for the June issue of the MAGAZINE the Secretary has either seen in person or received letters from more than half the class. Bard, Blanchard, Miner and Wheat have called on him. Bard, Davis, Ferguson and Reynolds joined him in Hanover for an informal, interim reunion, June 13-16. We had a very enjoy- able time and give our hearty approval to the "experiment" of having the four youngest reuning classes gather in Hanover the week after Commencement. Hanover's facilities simply cannot expand sufficiently to accommodate, at one time, the large numbers which now return each June. The week following Commencement the Secrtary visited Dow and Earle at their homes in Woodsville and North Thetford Bard was in Boston in July to confer with a firm with which his own firm (in Akron, Ohio) is interested on a defense project. .... Miner also was in Massachusetts on a business trip in July and took time to look him up Wheat, as is his custom, spent most of July and August in Marblehead and called shortly before returning to his Court duties in Washington Blanchard made one of his occasional visits to his daughter, Mrs. Holden, in Newton, in early June and one evening the two spent an hour with us in our home in Brookline. Our vigorous senior member, with the assistance of another daughter, (he has five daughters you will recall) still carries the duties of Town Clerk and Manager of the New England Telephone Company office in Barre. He also preaches frequently as "supply" in neighboring churches. During warm weather he spends much time at his camp in Tyngsboro, Mass. He has been going there for thirty years or more and is the oldest member of the Lake Massapoag Rod and Gun Club.

"E. B." Davis, not only attended our interim reunion but spent the rest of the summer in Hanover, toiling in a cubicle in Baker Library over some obstruse (so it seemed to me) problem of ancient lanloges. He is a Professor Emeritus who seems happiest when hard at work.

Many years ago there was a Dartmouth club of Montana but it ceased to exist when its president moved out of the state and its secretary died. Last June Warden entertained at dinner, in Great Falls, 11 of the 43 Dartmouth alumni, residents of the third largest state in the Union, and the club was reorganized by the election of officers to serve until the annual meeting and dinner to be held in Helena, next winter. Warden was chosen president.
