1886

College Arms Apts., Winter Park, Fla.

The secretary wishes to acknowledge with thanks the receipt of Editor Widmayer's letter accompanying the copy of The DartmouthScene, the invaluable aid during the past year of Miss Eleanor Richmond, Pete's daughter, in preparing these notes and in getting out the annual letter to members and families of the Class. He thinks that the members of the Class and their friends have thus been kept pretty well informed.

The responses to the annual letter referred to have been many and generous. These are a few samples: "A very pleasing result of your (plural) painstaking." "It is nice to have this touch with the old associations. It is wonderful that the remaining members are so loyal." "I have enjoyed reading this, as the names of many of your classmates are familiar to me."

"Philosophy hidden by wit is found in Mrs. Frost's book, Fun in Verse," is one editor's comment on the little volume which Mary Frost, the widow of our classmate Ed Frost, has just issued. Here is a sample (disregarding the metrical line up): "The Skunk is not the punk that he is painted. He's just a flashy little Squirt. But when he came too near, I fainted." Or this: "Peace, Hand in Hand with Brotherly Love, needs no High Command." Mrs. Frost, now 81, came to Dartmouth as a bride while Ed was teaching astronomy, and is personally remembered by many of the men in the classes from '97 to 'OB, as well as by the faculty and townspeople of that period. Since coming to St. Petersburg with Ed the year before his death in 1935, she has been prominent in club and literary circles there. She resides at 2945 Third Ave. North, St. Petersburg, Fla.
