1899

With June and commencement come thoughts of our 55th Reunion a year hence, not too early to make tentative plans for the entertainment and comfort of the '99 clan. Suggestions will he welcome and referred to the committee in charge.

Back in Bradford are the Beats after more than four months spent in Florida and Georgia.

Sad news is reported in the In Memoriam columns of this issue. Gordon Gerould succumbed to various ailments with which he had been afflicted for five years and confined him for some time to a nursing home near the home of his daughter in Asheville, N. C. Cultured in voice and manner, his career as a teacher of English and English literature and as an author was outstanding among his contemporaries and truly distinguished. DaveStorrs, too, had long been ill but was in his store two days before his death. His loyal devotion and many services to the class, especially at reunion time, will be greatly missed. This writer will also miss him. In more than a hundred visits to Hanover he always enjoyed a visit and pleasant chat with Dave in his cubbyhole office at the rear of the bookstore.

The following tribute is from a well-known, long-time resident of Hanover: "Dave Storrs was one of the world's great people and was certainly with no dispute the grand old man of Hanover. I knew him my whole lifetime and there was no one whom I respected so highly. He is a great loss to the whole Hanover community."

With Phil Winchester, the Secretary attended the Alumni Officers meeting at Hanover, May 8-10. He will spend the month of July at his Ogunquit, Me., home where there will be, as always, open house for '99.

If you haven't already done it, don't forget to heed the call of our assiduous Class Agent, old reliable, tried and true, P. Winchester.
