1889

Frank Reynold's splendid achievement this year as class agent for the Alumni Fund deserves to be recorded here, although already known by members of our class. It is a notable improvement over last year's fine showing and surpasses results accredited to him in previous years, all of which have been highly successful. The class of '89 at end of 1943 Alumni Fund Campaign stood as follows:

Ranking: 9; Living graduates: 20 (now 19): Contributors: 23; Objective: $300; Contributions: $750. Contributions include Memorial Gifts for Blakely, Curtis, Dow, and Wheat.

George Bard, from his home base in New York City, makes frequent trips to Washington, D. C., and industrial centers in Ohio, in his active participation in war work. Few men endowed with the capability he has have the energy, at his age, to undertake the important work he is doing.

Chester Flagg came East last May, visited Marblehead and Hanover, and on his return West spent a few days in Ithaca, N. Y., with his niece and her husband, President Day, of Cornell University. His visit in Hanover was with his sister, Mrs. Emerson, widow of "Chuck" Emerson, now in her 92nd year. Chester's description of his return trip, of four days and four nights in a common day coach on a fourteen-car train, crowded with men and women in uniform, mothers with young children and babes, and all space filled with luggage, the train arriving in Los Angeles at 4 A.M. six hours late, tells the story of present travel conditions while this country is at war.

PERSONS AND PLACES

Stanley P. Miner, Dartmouth '22, son of George E. Miner, our late classmate, is associated with the New York Telephone Co., with address at 140 West St., New York City. Also graduates of Dartmouth are his two brothers, Paul S. Miner '18 and Theodore R. Miner '33. Their mother died November 25, 1941. While in college "Gemmy" Miner and "Gov" Robie roomed together in Reed Hall. Each had the distinction of having sent three sons to Dartmouth, a record unequaled by any other classmate.

Harry Frost reports from his summer home at Crystal Lake in New Hampshire that on August 4 last his role as grandfather was increased by the birth of Susan Frost, daughter of his son Philip M. and Marjorie Frost, who reside at 5 Tedesco St., Marblehead, Mass.

Mrs. George B. Kingsbury. (Laura G, Kingsbury), widow of our late classmate, now resides at 25 Gillett St., Hartford 5, Conn.

OCTOGENARIANS

In September two members of our class entered upon that ten-year period which confers the distinguished classification of being an octogenarian: George Sparhawk, born Sept. 15, 1863; Clarence Moulton, born Sept. 29, 1863. Congratulations and best wishes. Within a few years all surviving members of our class will share with them this distinction.

Like one of his spectacular rushes on the football field in undergraduate days, Jabe Ellis at the very end of the Alumni Fund Campaign came forward and plunged through to the scoring line. Your Secretary was pleased to read what Albert I. Dickerson had to say about Jabe in his letter to Frank Reynolds at the close of the campaign.

Secretary, 108 Mt. Vernon St., Boston, Mass.
