1907*

The death of Fritz Luberger, reported elsewhere in this issue, will be a severe shock to his many close friends among our classmates. He had been in ill health and had retired from his professorship in the University of Cincinnati last July on that account. He died at his home in Cincinnati on September 35. A close friend and fellow member of the faculty of the University of Cincinnati, Francis H. Bird '09, writes,

"He was one of the finest fellows I have ever known. A man of few words, he always spoke with authority and he well deserved the respect shown him by his colleagues. Those who knew him as a friend were fortunate, indeed, for his friendship was genuine. Fred was a loyal Dartmouth man. The last talk I had with him was in regard to his plans for sending his son, Charles, to Dartmouth next year. I am glad that Fred was a Dartmouth man for the college could have had no better representative."

The sympathy of the class has been extended to Mrs. Luberger, the two daughters, Ellen and Jeanne, and their son, Charles.

The marriage of Willard Warren Cummings to Mildred deKoven on September so has been announced by Miss deKoven's brother. Mr. and Mrs. Cummings will make their home in Skowhegan, Maine.

It is reported that Harry McDevitt and George Grebenstein sang at a recent Hovey Commemoration meeting with their same old voices and charm.

An unconfirmed report states that Ray Brown of Fall River, Mass., took his initial matrimonial venture about two years ago. Ray is expected to confirm the report not later than next June in Hanover.

George Liscomb attended his 25th consecutive commencement at Hanover last June. George's present address is Sandwich, Mass.,—"under the town clock, where the flag flies, near where Daniel Webster drank." He is organizing a pre-game and pre-reunion meeting at the University Club in Boston on October 17, the night before the Dartmouth-Harvard game. Two years ago, fifteen classmates attended a similar meeting and a larger attendance is expected this year.

Fred Baldwin was chairman of the Defense Day Parade Committee of the Hyannis, Mass., Elks Club and received deserved compliments for the success of the August 31 pageant.

Interest in our Reunion is beginning to .evidence itself: Sam Barnes writes, "I have seen very few o£ our classmates since our Thirtieth Reunion. I am delighted that you are already planning on the Thirty-Fifth and you can count on my being present if it is at all possible!"

Harry Pelren is "most certainly looking forward to being present!"

Phil Chase wonders "whether the class treasury could stand the strain of having a new Class Directory compiled and printed." The class treasury can't stand even the suggestion of a strain but Phil's idea is excellent and will certainly receive consideration. Phil had a pleasant visit recently with Bill Cummings at the Lakewood Summer Theatre near Skowhegan, Maine.

Cully Pierce favors a series of luncheons during the coming winter preparatory to the Thirty-Fifth—another decidedly worthwhile suggestion which will be carried out if possible. He also produces the brilliant idea that toupees might be the most suitable class costume for the Thirty-Fifth. He thinks he might then be able to recognize McLane and McCoy.
