1893
Dr. Harry Sanders of Claremont, N. H., passed away June 7. Studious and reserved, but always pleasantly helpful, he was one of '93's most respected members. His life has been one of much usefulness in his chosen profession. He will be greatly missed. (See In Memoriam.)
Of the seven '93 men who prepared for college at the Stevens High School of Claremont, John Ayer and Billy Jarvis are the only .survivors and they both now reside in Claremont. John has lived there most of his life, according to our records. Billy returned to Jarvis Hill, West Claremont, upon his retirement as vice-president of the Sullivan Machinery Cos. The Jarvis family for many years resided in the Pittsburgh, Pa., area.
The necrology of '93's Stevens High School men is Allen, Heywood, Plielps, Sanders and Stockwell.
Announcement has been received of the marriage on August 24 of Mrs. Lillian Barnett Bason and Mr. Lyall Julian Pinkerton at Grey Gables, East Northfield, Mass., the bride's summer home. After November 1 the Pinkertons will be at 110 28th Ave., North, St. Petersburg, Fla. All '93 men will wish them great joy and much happiness. She has always been a loyal member of the '93 family. The announcement was made by son Dr. Lester B. Mason '29 and daughter Mrs. Eleanor Phyllis (Mason) Eckley.
Ever-thoughtful Dick Pearson '2O, secretary of his class as was his father of '93 for many years "Skid" of blessed memory has sent in the following:
"In case you didn't happen to see the June issue of McCall's, you will be interested in the fact that George Dodge's daughter Adelaide heads the list of five on their annual Honor Roll of Teachers. The citation given her reads as follows: "Miss Adelaide Dodge, director of social studies, Central High School, Manchester, New Hampshire. Miss Dodge was one of the first teachers in New England to inaugurate down-toearth courses in the problems of democracy. Currently she is helping teachers throughout the state to adjust their social-study programs to the defense emergency."
Congratulations to our classmate's daughter Adelaide whom many of us remember very pleasantly!
In another letter Dick writes in part as follows:
"I wonder if you have ever made the tour of the Gymnasium trophy room and taken a careful look at the pictures of teams of your time. I did so, and was astounded to discover how many of the players in the pictures of the early Nineties were labelled 'unknown' or 'unidentified' or some such tag. It doesn't make sense to me. Surely you or Guy Cox or Billy Jarvis could clear up a certain number of the mysteries."
This would be an, interesting undertaking for those of us who get back to our 6oth next June.
The engagement of Grace Edward Griffith and David Garratt Hoag mentioned in '93's class notes of the April ALUMNI MAGAZINE was culminated by their marriage in the church at Manchester, Vt., May 10, Father Reilly officiating. The wedding reception was at the Orvis Inn, Manchester. Their residence is West Union St., Ashland, Mass.
The Aborns will be at Lang Hall, 326 3rd Ave., North, St. Petersburg, Fla., after October 25.
TRIBUTE TO WEBSTER: At the Daniel Webster Centennial in 1901, these four members of the Class of '93 tried to emulate Dartmouth's defender, in dress and deportment. They were (I tor): Willard Aborn, Frederick Runnells, Robert Maynard, and George Pender.
