1902

Forty-five years ago next June our class became part of the great body of Alumni of Dartmouth. I know the passing years have made each one of us ever prouder that we could claim membership in that distinguished group. Now let us, all who can, go back next June 20th and pay homage to OUT Alma Mater.

A letter from Sid Hayward says that we have been assigned June 20th, 21st and 22nd, 1947, as the dates for our Reunion. Engrave these days in your memory and make no other plans. At our age life jobs can not be so pressing but that anyone can take a few days off and we all want to see each other, not in uniforms and parades, but quietly and socially.

Out of 135 graduates in our class there are about 80 of us left and we want, including our many loyal non-graduates, an attendance of 70.

I suggest that each one of us right now contact the classmate he would most like to see and get him to go to Hanover. I want to see you all so I will contact you all.

It was good to see Julius Arthur Brown and Jack Cannell at our Boston dinner. Julius looks husky and good for many years. If he does as well as his mother he will attend our 70th Reunion.

We missed Percy Dorr greatly. Percy had to go through a second operation in two years but says he is on the way back.

We also missed Ralph Taylor who had another kick-up with duodenal ulcer last Christmas and almost bled to death, but blood transfusions saved the day.

A note from William Carroll Hill reports: "The old 'Elm House Gang' will be glad to know that Frederick O. Bradley is enjoying good health and is happily located in beautiful tropical Monrovia, Calif., near Pasadena. I visited with him on July 17, the first time the two of us had met since we all parted company at Hanover in June 1902. Fred was the same alert and snappy individual, the only drawback to his complete contentment being the illness of his wife, who suffers considerably from arthritis."

We'll see all these boys next June. Be sure and remember June 20th, 1947.
