1904

Paradoxical as it may seem, forty-two years out of College we are to celebrate our Fortieth Anniversary—lke Charron and Sid Rollins will have charge of the festivities in Hanover drafting such other assistance from others as may be necessary. Beck will have our past and 'current pictorial history and Squid's pithy Fund Sheet will carry to all the class Reunion . plans and a constantly growing list of men who will attend. Ned Bartlett is again providing an up-to-date address list that will stimulate the renewal of class associations and the planning of rendezvous on the road to Hanover.

"What is the relation between capital and labor? What is to be the outcome of the race question in the South? What is to be our future relation with the Philippines? What is to be our position in the far East? These are questions which must be met before we have left the stage of active life. I do not attempt their answer. They demand not hasty solution but careful unprejudiced thought." Who said it? Commentator? News analyst? Political Spellbinder? NO —The paragraph is from McKnight's Class Day Oration .... June 1904.

The December MAGAZINE cover is satisfying evidence that Fayerweather construction which was begun about 1900, has been recently completed and through the influence of the Bynum ('42) Hinton's and their neighbors the eider jugs and sunning athletic underwear have given way to ruffled curtains, begonias, and ivy in the windows. Sachem Village, currently under construction for the homecoming for some fifty undergraduate families, may well be the feature of this Reunion summer. Those innovations add emphasis to our class pride in this Editorial from the Manchester Union of January 5. "New Hampshire people are justly proud of the recent honor paid Col. Ruth Cheney Streeter upon her retirement as Director of the Marine Corps Women's Reserve, the first being that Col. Streeter is 'home folks,' daughter of the late Mrs. Mary Lyon Schofield of Peterborough, and wife of Concord-born Thomas Winthrop Streeter, New York broker and lawyer. Col. Streeter requested discharge because her sons, following military service of their own, were on their way back; and she says, 'I feel that I am needed at home.' " General Vandergrift USMC, Commandant, reluctantly contemplated Col. Streeter's leaving and spoke in detail of her achievements. He remembered that during nearly two years of Col. Streeter's administration the Reserve grew to a maximum strength of 831 officers and 17,714 enlisted women "The Marine Corps Women's Reserve under your outstanding leadership, met fully those high standards of dependability, efficiency and devotion to duty which are traditional in the Marine Corps. It is an organization in which the Marine Corps takes great and justifiable pride."

Lt. Sally Brewer, USMC(W) daughter of Bob and Mrs. Brewer, was married January 12 at the Church of St. John the Evangelist, Hingham, to Commander George Humphrey Fetterman USNR MC. Commander Fetterman is a member of the faculty of the University of Pittsburgh and director of St. Margaret Memorial Hospital, Pittsburgh.
