1903

Once more let me remind you that our next reunion comes in June, 1949. This is in accordance with the new class reunion plan bringing '03, '04, and '05 back at the same time.

Wynne Matteson, engineer in the Public Roads Administration, Federal Works Agency, Div. 9, must be a busy man for in a recent letter he tells of his work in four states, Colorado, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming, and of similar relationships with the Park Service, Forest Service and Indian Service. His letter was written from Santa Fe, New Mexico, after an inspection at the Los Alamos Atomic Energy Plant for which his division engineers were doing some road work. His home and his headquarters are at Denver, but as he expresses it, he lives "out West—no where." This Division 9 has become quite famed and several engineers have been sent to the Philippines, Central America and even to Turkey to build roads. Wynne speaks of contacts with Billy Grant in Denver, Harold Comstock in Billings, Mont., Frank Wentworth, Herb Follett and Dave Bradley in California. Can't we bring all these men together in Hanover in June 1949?

David C. Gale, for years a resident of Proctor, Vt., has moved to 75 Greenleaf St., Maiden, Mass.

Michael H. O'Malley has left Berkeley, Calif., for San Rafael, Calif., 1518 Lincoln Ave.

Probably the worst night of the winter came on Feb. 4, and yet seven '03 men kept their date with the Boston Alumni Association and were well recompensed for the effort. VicCutter, the senior Dartmouth Trustee, NatBatchelder, Cherberk Edwards, Dick Brown,Otis Mudge, Pip Howard and your secretary enjoyed the treat.

There never has been any question about Horace Kidger's loyalty to Dartmouth, but just listen to this. A senior girl went to Horace to request the loan of a book from the classroom library. "I hesitated and told her she should get the book from her subject teacher. By the way, what is your name?" "Gretchen Wheelock," she replied. I remarked, "Eleazar Wheelock was a very pious man." She said, "I know it. He was my ancestor." I said, "Did your father go to Dartmouth?" "Yes," she replied, "Class of 1917." Needless to say she got the book on loan.

Horace is as busy as ever with his departmental supervision in the Newton High School, his teaching, his writings and in the summer he's another agriculturist up in New Hampshire.
