1894

The boys who are going to have birthdays during January are as follows: nth, Colby (born 1872); 12th, Marden (1874); 20th, Curtis (1871); 22nd, A. W. Stone (1870); 27th, McGroty (1871).

Our main attention in this issue will be given to the past, present, and future meanderings of the men and women of our Class. As forecast in a recent issue, Bob Burnap has set up winter quarters in Florida: address is Town House Apts., Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.

Which leads to the following information about a permanent denizen of the Orange Blossom State (Eddie Grover), who wired us at the Matt Jones Round up that he was "back on the job after summer in our log cabin in North Carolina mountains."

Mrs. Pat Murphy writes that she has moved from the place on Route 1 not far from Scarboro, Maine, where she and Pat lived for so long, to 9 Huntress Street, Portland, Maine.

Which leads to a reference to the sojourn of Bert and Fred Smalley at their accustomed haunt in the Maine woods early in the fall. Their camp necessitated a hike of a dozen miles or so in and out, but the Smalley boys were up to it.

Coming down out of Maine into New Hampshire, leads to the note that John HenryBartlett has taken up his permanent residence in his old home at Portsmouth. The address is 317 Middle Street. He puts down his occupation as "banking, real estate, author." The Secretary had a chat with him one evening not long ago and found John in unusually comfortable surroundings and apparently still capable of going places in these several interesting pursuits.

Still staying in New Hampshire it can be reported that John Phillips after a summer in Franklin, returned from New Jersey later than usual and says John, "I expect to spend a quiet life during the winter with an occasional week-end in New York to vary the monotony."

Decker Field and Henry Howland. are already planning for the trip that they will make to our 55th Reunion in June 1949. Decker writes that he can hardly wait for the day to come and Henry is scarcely less patient. Well, the eighteen months will pass very quickly.

Elmer Tenney writes to ask a very pertinent question, namely,

as to"Why is it that Portland [Oregon] has so few Dartmouth men, and no Dartmouth Club. Seattle has quite a sizable club, and both San Francisco and Los Angeles have large ones. Since Jim VanHorn '93 (of Rood House fame) and WalterTaylor Sumner '98 died, I don't know of a single Dartmouth man in Portland. Why?"

Speaking of Elmer, one can't help quoting from one of his recent letters:

"I am able to walk about now, slowly, and with care going up and down stairs. Also my left ear was affected by the attack. Aside from the handicaps of locomotion, sight and hearing, I get along very well, and the hearing and locomotion may yet improve considerably; and with very good sight in one eye I should not complain. Very many persons do not have even that much."

ENTRY IN THE 1895 GRANDSIRES DERBY: Dr. Roland E. Stevens II '33, son of the 1895 secretary, and his family at their Rochester, N. Y., home. For family details see the adjoining 1895 column.
