1893

The '93 men who reuned in June at Hanover this year, at the same time '95 was holding its Fiftieth, were Griffith, Martyn, L. Eaton, W. W. Brown and your secretary. "Jon" Child and Harry Metcalf both found it impossible to come on account of business. Harry is in the midst of disposing of the Newport, N. H., Argus Champion which he has owned for the last twenty-five years, and Jon had some Rationing Board matter to straighten out at Norwalk, Conn.

At the present writing it would appear that '93 will go down in Dartmouth history as the only class not to celebrate their 50th Anniver- sary. This is an odd distinction.

Word has come of the death in Germany of Rufus Baker's grandson, Bradley L. Baker Jr. on April 17. Details were not available at this writing.

Mrs. Aborn suffered a second thrombosis and passed away on June 16. For over sixtyfive years she had been your secretary's friend and companion and for forty-nine of them his faithful wife.

Walter Brown has been living with Mrs. Brown at the Hanover Inn this Spring but early in July transferred to Lake Sunapee where they have summered for many years. Walter is as entertaining as ever, and while holding his own recently is still badly handicapped by the attack of poliomyelitis sustained some time ago. Mrs. Brown was also laid up during the Spring with a broken ankle.

Two corrections in our records are necessary. (1) Harry Allen '92, of the Hanover Inn, calls attention to the fact that Kinney entered Dartmouth originally with the class of '92 but due to illness at home was forced to withdraw before the end of the year. He then in the fall of '89 entered with '93. Miss Ford at the Alumni Records Office confirms this, (a) All of our class records and the Alumni Records Office have had our "King of the Monitors" as born in Hartford, Conn. Correction: it was New Hartford, Conn.

We were glad to learn that "Steve" Martyn of Springfield, Vt:, (the King's son) is recovering from a serious attack of pneumonia.

Dr. Martyn is planning a vacation for the first time in forty-five years. He contemplates a New England tour visiting old friends, beginning the middle of July.

Judge Griffith's 'daughter, Katharine Hope Mower, with her daughter and husband Major Mower, would appear to have given up Burlington, Vt., and to have settled in Boston, since they have recently purchased a home at Waban, Mass. Major Mower is an attorney by profession.

A nice letter from Mrs. Goss tells of her removal for the summer to her colonial estate "The Powder Major's," and of her activities as chairman of the Dover and vicinity Red Cross War Fund Drive. This was her third year as chairman, and her twentyeighth year as treasurer of the Chapter (ever since its organization). She says she will be glad to see any '93 man driving into "The Powder Major's." Mrs. Goss enclosed a clipping from the ManchesterUnion of May 19, which states that one Samuel Hunt will address the Kiwanis Club on the subject of Why Men Prefer Blondes." How come, Sam ?

Our President has been honored again. The Board of Commissioners of Sinking Funds, City of Boston, of which Guy was a member beginning February 1929 and continuing until early this year, passed a resolution eulogizing his very useful service to the City and regretting his voluntary severance from the Board. A photostatic reproduction of the filed resolutions is deposited with '93's records.

Your secretary is couch-ridden for two weeks (so the Doctor says) due to an injury to his leg sustained while he was putting out his country's nag on the 4th of July morning.

Billy Jarvis" is still on the move; seems as though he were getting around as if he were 44 instead of 74 (almost).

Secretary, 795 Memorial Drive, Cambridge, Mass. Treasurer, 20 Albion Street, Melrose, Mass.
