1897

"Sport" Morse spent three weeks in Hanover in August; and Eddie Carr one week. The latter has promised the former to attend the next Reunion. They found some other old grads to play with.

Fred C. Smith 'oo, of Washington, D. C., has sent me a clipping from the Washington Sunday Star of October 9, 1938, which shows our '97 freshman football team and makes a humorous comment on "the heavy hair that distinguished the football man of that day from his feebler fellows." Few in this group are living, only twenty-nine per cent.

Of our whole class the percentage of graduates now living is 54.8%. As 54% is the average for the seven classes, '94-'oo inclusive, we are about .8% to the good. The three classes above us have 111 living out of 211 graduates, or 52.6% living. The three classes after us have 164 living out of 300 graduates, or 54.7% living. So our record is a little better than either of the other two groups.
