1903
The 5-Year-Class Dinner is to be held the 2ist of May at Schrafft's Restaurant, 16 West St., Boston. Thus reads the proclamation of our friend Bob Harding '05 arranger de luxe for the gathering of dyed-in-the-wool Dartmouth enthusiasts of the classes '01, '02, '03, '04, '05. The class of 1903 should have every available man present for none other than our own Billy Grant is coming on from Denver to talk with us. Billy has been a trustee of Dartmouth since 1931; he is president of the Denver Board of Education; he has been president of the Trustees of Kent School for girls for 20 years; he is a lawyer of the highest standing. Let us have a real turn-out of 1903 men to give the westerner a hearty reception. Remember the date, Friday the 21st, the time, 6:30 p.m. at Schrafft's.
Floyd O. Hale, "Teddy" to us, died in 1938 and his son, Robert, Dartmouth '31, has given his boy the name of his grandfather, thus preserving in the family the name Floyd. To us it was always "Teddy" Hale and possibly history may repeat itself.
There's a happy combination of talents going on down in Amesbury, Mass., which augurs well for the future welfare of two of our classmates, Charlie Hall and Otis Mudge. Rev. Charles Tabor Hall watches over the spiritual welfare of our friend, Otis, and Dr. Otis P. Mudge guards with care the physical condition of the Reverend gentleman. Indulgence over plates of baked beans and brownbread on Saturday nights furnish regular contacts. The hand and brain of Mrs. Hall are behind that idea.
Dr. Arthur P. Noyes of Norristown, Pa., has a rather intense Dartmouth interest worth recording. His brother, Frank H. Noyes, graduated in 1897; Mrs. Noyes' brother, her brother-in-law and her nephew are all Dartmouth graduates. Arthur's son David, now ten years old, is next fall entering Haver ford School to prepare for Dartmouth in 1954. Mrs. Noyes is a graduate of Skidmore. With such a family record, there is but one college for David, and we'll wager his scholastic record will place him there.
Mort French is already busy with his task of collecting coin for the Alumni Fund to provide our full share toward the desirable purpose of keeping the College out of the red. Expenses are mounting at Hanover just as in every other avenue of endeavor, but the keeping of Dartmouth in the front ranks of the liberal arts colleges is a desire of everyone of us, and we know that Mort will be successful in his quest. Help him by sending your check promptly.
