1887

A friendly Cornellian was a generous contributor to the Dartmouth Alumni Fund, because he is an honorary member of the class, and the only person to have that honor. He credited his gift to the class of '87.

Doctor Sanborn has returned from his annual vacation at Ourmond Beach, Fla. He devoted several hours daily to golf, and carried home with him a silver cup, which he won in a putting contest.

He is now working hard as chairman of the committee in charge of our sixtieth anniversary. His efforts insure that the event will be most successful. It is hoped that most of our seventeen survivors will attend. There were only eight of us present at our 55th anniversary.

There have been several foregatherings of Dartmouth alumni in recent weeks. The annual dinner of "The St. Petersburg Dartmouth Club" (as it is now called) was attended by sixty (the majority being women) and as it was impossible to get any official representative of the College to speak, the president of the club asked sixteen alumni to make brief speeches. Their reminiscences of college days were most amusing. The club decided to have a monthly luncheon. The first was in March and there were 24 alumni present.

Eighty-seven's delegation was the largest present, including Gage, White and the secretary.

Gage will remain longer than usual in the apartment in St. Petersburg, which he owns. White will return to Concord earlier. The secretary will reach his summer home at Bath, N. H., late in May. Gage will be at his home at Atkinson Depot, N. H. He will not have a garden this year.

The secretary would be bereft without his garden. Last year his 47 varieties of vegetables (seven being squashes) provided 70 percent of all the family food for three and one-half months. The garden provided every kind of vegetable, even water melons. One year he raised twenty-five water melons.

A letter from our "class baby" Mrs. Harrison, Berkeley, Calif., (father Shaw '87) announces that she will be in Hanover, June 13. This is several days before our Sixtieth.

The secretary has been busy as assistant editor of the Clearwater Society of Arts and Sciences, preparing for the annual magazine. His contribution will be a short story —The Warwick of Skiffleville.

Secretary and Treasurer, Box 869, Clearwater, Fla.
