1900

The fact that "spot news" is not a specialty of the ALUMNI MAGAZINE is never more evident than in discussing Reunion plans. Although this is written early in May, it will not reach you until just before that event, now scheduled to be held at the Follansbee Inn, North Sutton, N. H., on June 22-24. So this note can only serve to remind you that if, by any chance, you have been so forgetful as to have neglected to notify the Inn that reservations are to be made for you, now is the time to carry out that obligatory task. Your absence from the gathering admits of no excuse that your classmates can imagine.

Jim Woodman was in Hanover for a brief period the other day, provided with new appendages in the form of a pair of crutches, which, he says, much improve his powers of locomotion without interfering overmuch with his daily surgical tasks.

The New York Times is the source of information in regard to the death of Elias Mayer, notice of which is found in another column. Zu was a prominent member of our class in his freshman year, playing on the class football team and winning the second prize in the Rollins oratorical competition. At the end of that year he transferred to Harvard, where he was a varsity debater and a Commencement speaker. For a period he kept in touch with his Dartmouth classmates and was a welcome visitor at our 20th Reunion. In recent years we have heard little from him.

A pamphlet issued on Aug. 24, 1944, by the Sandwich (N. H.) Historical Society contains a five-page appreciation of its deceased president, Joseph Wentworth, including an account of the memorial service held for him in the Methodist Church in Sandwich Center on June 25. At that service remarks of appreciation were made by George Weed, representing the Quimby Trust, of which Joe was Trustee; by William P. Hacker, Joe's successor as President of the Historical Society; and by James Rogers, who spoke for the town of Sandwich.

Fred Hadlock writes that he is very busy fixing up a neglected house in Piermont (N. H.), to become a comfortable home, and preparing a large garden. The latter, with the caution of one with large experience with erratic weather conditions, he "hopes" will be a good one.

Henry Teague is in New England again after a winter in Florida, and John Warden is also back—the latter having been away from his Hanover home for two winters and a summer.
