The effort to bring the class of 1903 back onto the Hanover Plain for the Reunion July 19 is meeting with satisfactory results. The letters which have come to me are full of enthusiasm over the prospect of getting together again, and one outstanding feature is the large proportion of wives who will be in attendance.
A most interesting letter has come from Bill MacLennan of Santa Barbara, Calif. Bill has not been idle during these past war years for he has been lecturing at a military camp near Santa Barbara in the Army Orientation Course, while Mrs. MacLennan did "projection illustration" drawing in perspective parts of the Lockheed Lightnings and other planes.
The winter of 1945 Bill and his wife went to southeast Missouri in the foothills of the Ozarks where Mrs. MacLennan made a series of sketches. Again in New Orleans, Mrs. MacLennan found a wealth of subjects for her sketching, as later in Santa Fe and Taos in New Mexico. Recently she has completed a series of paintings which will have their first showing at the Santa Barbara Art Museum on March 26.
Bill wishes to be remembered to all the boys and wishes he could be with us at Reunion.
On May 10, 1946, the classes of 1901, 1902, 1903, 1904 and 1905 will gather at Schrafft's Restaurant, West St., Boston at 6:30 P.M. for another of their Reunion dinners. These dinners have become immensely popular and there should be a large number present this year. Bob Harding as usual is Master of Arrangements and that fact alone assures a most enjoyable evening. To those of '03 who have never taken advantage of meeting their old campus friends let me urge you to attend.
Raymond W. Brown of 42-68 149 th St., Flushing, N, Y., calmly informs me that he was married last fall to Mary S. Lloyd and that fact accounts for his change of residence. Ray and Mary are planning to be with us July 19 and I assure Mary a most cordial reception into the class family.
The Boston Alumni Dinner on February 27 was certainly a treat—not the edibles but the intellectual menu following. Pip Howard, Dick Brown, Nat Batchelder, Chubby Edwards, Orvil Smith and your secretary constituted the 1903 representation.
BEFORE THEIR MARRIAGE on March 19, Peggy Sayre and Andrew Marshall Jr. ski over the hills near their future home. "Peggy," known to many Dartmouth friends who have enjoyed the Inn under her management, and Mr. Marshall, a Harvard graduate and son of Andrew Marshall '01, will live in Hanover.
