1905
Chandler Ladd has, as he puts it, "said good bye to the pulpit for a younger man." That does not mean that he is not a busy person, for he is a member of the Pension Board of the Congregational Church, in the department of Ministerial Relief. This involves the read- ing of hundreds of letters, study of the cases and making of recommendations for relief. Chandler's son, George, Dartmouth '41, gave his life in the war. His daughter, Mary, Smith '39, is with the Army Map Service in Washington.
Carl Getchell is still practicing law at his old stand in Lewiston, Maine, and is going strong. His son, Carl Jr., who attended Georgia Tech., was a Navy pilot in the war. His daughter, Elizabeth, has presented Carl with a grandson, Carl Nansen Blackstead, "who will lead the class of '64 at Dartmouth."
Mr. and Mrs. Walter H. Lillard Jr. are the proud parents of twin daughters, Marianne and Susan. Our "Lill" now has five grandchilalumni dren. Lill is still with the Intergovernmental Committee on Refugees in Vienna.
Our class was well represented at the New York Alumni Annual Dinner. The '05 men present were; Besse, Coley, Emery, Hatch, Hobart, Knibbs, and Preis.
Sliver Hatch, your Class Agent, and your secretary-treasurer will attend the meeting of class officers in Hanover the weekend of May 16th. This is a revival of the May meetings of class officers, which could not be held at that time during the war. C. C. Hills has been notified of our impending visit and no doubt a small reunion will be in order. Does the thought of Hanover in the middle of May bring to your minds beautiful pictures and fond recollections?
Sliver writes that subscriptions to the Alumni Fund are coming in with gratifying frequency. Even when you receive this copy of the MAGAZINE it will not be too late to do your bit for the College and the Class if you have neglected this duty until this date.
Roger Brown, via Bob Harding, is the source of a report that Shirley and Mrs. Cunningham will spend the summer in New England. What a life, winter in New Mexico and summer in New England! Fred Chase and Walt Conley have returned home after their sojourn in warmer climes, Fred from a winter in Florida and Walt after a long vacation in Arizona.
The five-class dinner in Boston was a great success and a glorious Reunion. This was especially true as far as 1905 was concerned as we had a grand crowd. President Dickey made a flying trip from Washington, D. C„ and as usual gave us a fine talk. Channing Cox '01 presided in his usual charming manner. Brief talks were given by representatives of each of the five classes. Your secretary spoke for 1905.
The following 1905 men were present: Brooks, R. Brown, W. E. Chamberlain, Clough and son Joe '31, Donnelly, Fall, L. C. Grover, Harding, Hatch, Loder, McCabe, Newick, Parkinson, Peyser, Cliff Pierce, Proctor, Reid, Weston and White. Great credit goes to BobHarding for arranging this very delightful dinner.
I regret to announce that the death of J.Winslow Peirce has just been reported. He died May 9, very suddenly of a heart attack. He had been in poor health for some time and we have all missed him at class functions. The sympathy of the whole class is extended to his family.
The following new addresses are reported: Robert C. Falconer, Sabbath Day Point, via Ticonderoga, N. Y.; Chester A. Grover, Box 207, Las Animas, Colo.; Waldo S. Palmer, 185 Huntington Ave., Boston, Mass.
Secretary and Treasurer, Centerville, Mass.
