1903

CLASS REUNION JUNE it, 18 AND 19

That little address book presented by the class of 1904 reminding you that the classes of 1903, 1904, and 1905 are reuning this year is a most thoughtful contribution to a good cause. We thank you, 1904, and especially Dave Austin, who engineered the whole, idea.

The Reunion Committee is doing a fine job in arranging for your comfort and a program with not too much nor too little entertainment. Pip says, "Give us a good attendance record and we'll guarantee another fine reunion. If you haven't sent back your application for room card, do it now. Here's to your early arrival in Hanover on Friday, June 17.

The 5-Year Class Dinner at Schrafft's in Boston was held April 29 and proved another reunion of the fellows you knew in college. As the years go by this gathering seems to be increasingly appreciated. A common expression heard about the boards was, "I enjoy this Dartmouth gathering more than any other." Three factors are responsible—Bob Harding 'O5, Schrafft's, and the absence of formalities. Ned Kenerson, Dana Whipple, Chubby Edwards, Orvil Smith, Charlie Hall, Pip Howard,Bucky Bates, Horace Kidger, Victor Cutter,Harry Watson and your secretary were in attendance.

A letter from Edward L. Badger of Pittsfield, Mass. reveals the facts that he is a "retired gentleman" now, that he is the only one left of his immediate family, and that he has never attended a class reunion. His health is good except for a little difficulty with eyesight. He hesitates to think of attending reunion for fear of not knowing many of the fellows. Give us your presence Ed, and in 15 minutes you'll feel as tho' you belonged.

Last December 21 Bob Davis wrote me from Margaux, Gironde, France that he was planning to return to the good old U.5.A. in April, accompanied by his sister Mary, and that the Reunion was definitely on his itinerary. It has been many years since Bob has graced this occasion and his reception will be a hearty One.

George Patch of Shelburne Falls, Mass. is seriously considering coming back for reunion in order to renew his youth. He has discovered this year that in his orchard work he cannot climb trees as easily as he used to do and wonders if a few days lived in the midst of the "young fellers" would be the proper treatment. Page Tute Worthen for he showed the sophomore class how to climb at the time of their class pictures.

Fred Baker of Lancaster, N. H. is still the land-title king of the North Country and enjoys his contacts so much that the idea of retirement from the practice of law receives no encouragement from him whatsoever. Fred relates an incident at Commencement in 1903. "It so happened that X was in front of College Hall when the class of '7B returned from the President's Reception. Of course they were middle aged men, but as most of them had beards they seemed pretty old to me. They were unquestionably enjoying reunion in the old time way, and one of them remarked, 'He said he was glad to see us.' " Fred will be with us June 17 and will attend the President's Reception.
