1889

It is the sad duty of your secretary to record the death of Arthur Chase. He died February 21 in New Haven Hospital following injuries from striking his head in a fall at his home two evenings before while picking up a newspaper. Arthur would have graduated with us at Dartmouth but for an unfortunate misunderstanding about a leave of absence, as a result of which he left College at the end of junior year and entered Trinity College, where he graduated in 1889. During the years since he has been a Dartmouth man in spirit, loyal to our Class, attended many of our Class reunions, and in recent years has rarely missed being present at the annual rendezvous of our class group in Hanover at Commencement time. He was with us last June and was looking forward to joining the group this coming June. The In Memoriam appears in this issue

A recent letter from George Bard from Birmingham, Ala., shows him to be as active and alert as ever. On New Year's Eve he and his son Robert and family left Birmingham in their new Buick and motored down through Alabama and across Georgia to St. Augustine, Fla., arriving there at 3 A.M. ready for a New Year celebration. Robert motored on to Orlando and Miami, leaving our classmate there meanwhile to relax with friends from Walpole, N. H., spending the winter in America's oldest city. The next day Robert returned, they all got into their Buick and rolled back into Birmingham on their trip covering- four days and one thousand miles of travel. How about it, contemporaries! Can any of you of the 86-year vintage beat this record?

Mrs. Sara (Duryea) Hazen, widow o£ our classmate Charles Downer Hazen died February 25 in North Andover, Mass., after a long illness.

A dedication of the carillonic bells and sound re-enforcement system in memory of Henry P. Blair was held at St. Mark's Episcopal Church in Washington, D. C., on Sunday, February 17. The sermon was delivered by The Rt. Rev. Karl Morgan Block, D.D., Bishop of California and a former St. Mark's choir boy.

The offering at this service was for the Henry P. Blair Memorial Fund. It will be used to purchase rolls for the automatic roll player and to maintain and insure the new installation. Upon the memorial plaque are inscribed these words:

"The Carillonic Bells in this Tower are Dedicated to The Glory of God, and given in Memory of HENRY P. BLAIR, whose kindness to boys and Great Service to this Church will long be Remembered."

Above the large clock overhanging the main entrance to the Metropolitan Building, 260 Tremont St., Boston, are the words in bold type "FROST, Advertising." It is a reminder that the Harry M. Frost Company, Inc., one of Boston's large advertising agencies, is at that location. The company was founded in 1915 by our classmate, whose name it bears. He retired from active business several years ago, and the company has since been, and now is, under the management, as president, of his oldest son Karl M. Frost, creator of the famed political slogan, "Had Enough?" which gained national reputation in 1946. The Republican State Committee of Massachusetts has recently announced its appointment of Karl M. Frost to handle its advertising for the coming political campaign.
