1903

Eddie Schlatter sent a telegram to me at Reunion saying that the heated spell forbade his trying to make the trip from Madison, Wise. We regretted his absence, but we have no doubt of his wisdom. Eddie's son, who came to our '38 Reunion, returned from the war with the Bronze Star Medal and five battle stars. His daughter, Dorothy, and little son are temporarily living with Grandpa and Grandma because of housing shortage and while Dorothy's husband is back at Michigan State to complete his work for a Ph.D.

Harold Scudder writes that his son, Capt. James H. Scudder, fought in an infantry regiment through the Italian campaign from Rome, to the finish, and escaped without a wound. He received both Silver and Bronze Stars and his battalion won a presidential citation. He was in the gist Div. of the Fifth Army. On his return home he suddenly suffered appendicitis and was rushed to the hospital with very little time to spare. Happily he has entirely recovered.

Mrs. Carrie M. Wilson, widow of Earle E. Wilson, died of cancer on the 7th of October at the home farm in Corinth, Vt. At the time of Earle's death Mrs. Wilson was in the hospital at Stamford, Conn., but subsequently was able to make the journey to Corinth where her children were carrying on. Elaine, the oldest of four children, 19 years of age, has given up her college course to take charge of the three boys of the family and will live in Chelsea, Vt. We recall the little girl of the early years of Vic Cutter's picnics with the golden hair and tight little curls, extending our deepest sympathy and encouragement in the effort she is making.

Henry G. Porter, "Hank," is one of our classmates we haven't seen for a long time. In 1941-1943 Hank was at work in Philadelphia improving the water system. The war finally stopped his work and he went back to his home in Yonkers, N. Y. He took up work in a war plant to do his bit, a work a little foreign to his life's experience, but enjoyable because of being at home. Hank sends his heartiest good wishes to all the gang.

Harold M. Hess has sent his annual treasurer's report to the members of the class. I note that 77% of living graduates have paid their dues, and this is a splendid percentage. The 100% MAGAZINE subscription is paying off in terms of interest in the College and the class.
