1905
Plans are going forward tor the Fortieth Reunion of '05 in Hanover on July 19, 20, and 21, 1946. The weather in Hanover is delightful in July. Plan to take a good vacation with your family on these dates. George Agry reminds us that there are at Hanover approximately 200 stereopticon slides depicting events of our entire college career—right up to our graduation procession in cap and gown.
George was commissioned by the class committee at the Fifteenth Reunion to accumulate this collection of views. He has been greatly helped by having access to and use of the entire collection of negatives taken by Prof. Morse, living in our college days. George is ready to take the slides out of the Archive files of Baker Library and show them for our entertainment. Thank you, George, for this fine offer.
The annual Five Classes Dinner will be held on Friday, May 10, 1946, at Schrafft's, West Street, Boston. We dine at 6:30 P.M. Set this date aside and be on hand. Bob Harding has kindly consented to be in charge again this year. Bob's sucessful direction of these annual dinners insures another fine gathering of the classes of '01 through '05.
Bob Harding reports that he is feeling better and is getting around again after an operation in December. Here's hoping that Bob has an early recovery of his pristine vigor.
Shirley Cunningham is off on a business trip for ten weeks in the South and West. He reports that Sliver Hatch was host at a luncheon in New York recently for Shirley, Stanley Besse and Sliver's "fine looking son and his attractive daughter-in-law."
Bill Knibbs was the '05 class representative for the Dartmouth Alumni Banquet at Hotel Commodore in New York on April 11, 1946.
Harry Boynton Preston of Keene Teachers College spoke recently on the subject, "Manchester's Contribution to New Hampshire" at the centennial observance of the Manchester Institute of Arts and Sciences.
The following '05 men attended the Boston Alumni Dinner: Judge Donnelly, Cliff Pierce, Harry Peyser and son, Elsie Grover, Doc Loder, Midge Reid, Cy White and Bourne Wood. Roy Parkinson reports that President Dickey, Meryll Frost '44 and Rt. Rev. Donald Aldrich '17, Bishop of Detroit, gave excellent speeches.
Roy reports seeing Bill Blatner in Boston recently. Bill and an associate are building state-wide business employer associations in many states. Bill has a prosperous farm on which he raises some crops but mainly hogs. Here's hoping that he can continue to get enough corn to feed them.
The engagement has been announced of Miss Jane Hazen Lillard, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. Huston Lillard of Cohassett, Mass., to Lt. Frederick Crosby Bartter, United States Public Health Service, son of the Rev. George C. Bartter and Mrs. Bartter of Baguio, Philippine Islands, temporarily residing in Boston.
Miss Lillard, whose father is in Vienna with the International Committee on Refugees, attended the Knox School and was graduated from Tabor Academy, of which her father was formerly headmaster, and from Smith College. She was employed by the Navy Department in Washington during the recent war and is now head of recreational therapy, Babies Hospital, New York.
Dr. Bartter was graduated from the Lenox School, Harvard College and the Harvard Medical School. He is doing research work in tropical medicine at the National Institute of Health, Bethesda, Md.
Felicitations of the Class are extended to Miss Lillard and Dr. Bartter.
The class mourns the loss of W. Leonard Sampson. Although he was with us at Hanover for only about a year, he was always interested in the Class and the College.
Secretary and Treasurer, 14 Holt St., Concord, N. H.
