1904

This issue of the MAGAZINE is given over to recording the story of the Alumni Fund and my notes are restricted. Again we, as a class, salute our Class Agent Squid for his splendid service to the College. We know that the College is grateful to every man in the Class for his part in the success of the Fund. Right now on a mailing list of ninety men, the oldest 80 and the youngest 70, with 35 men on the retired list, the figures of the class contributions are a testimony to the affection and solicitude we of 1904 feel for Dartmouth College.

A letter from Johnnie Fletcher speaks of the pleasure he and Augusta have had in the number of classmates coming to Chattanooga this year and visits with them. Bob Falconer and wife, Sally and Beck, Sara and Pen, and the Fletchers were looking forward to a visit from King Woodbridge, who was scheduled to speak at the University of Chattanooga in late October.

Had a card from the Walkers from Winslow, Wash. Jimmie had a chat with CapHardy and Kid Woodward while in Seattle. The Walkers are on visits to their children and will spend a month in Arizona before returning to Swampscott.

Perce Hobbs is going to have a lot of stockings to fill come Christmas. His nineteenth grandchild, John Percival Cobb, arrived during the summer. With the patter of many feet, may joy and laughter ring throughout the halls of the Cobbs.

The Witheys at present writing are now four touchdowns behind the Cobbs, as their fifteenth grandchild, Lisa Ellen, arrived August 8. Mose now boasts of being a great-grandfather with the arrival of Ann Marion. Mose has ambitions to spend a month in Florida this winter. Better come to Vero Beach, Mose.

Bringing up the rear are the Hinsmans with six grandsons. Burritt Havilah III arrived this summer. Dartmouth may be a man's college but there will always be a "Rosy" there.

Bill Roby writes that on September 30 he retired from the position of chief of the Hydro Power Branch, Civil Works, in the Office of the Chief Engineers, Army. He will, however, be a consultant for a study of the remaining power possibilities in the Columbia River Basin. At present Bill is in Oregon.

Pen, Carl, Sex, Rosie and Hay recently had a session at the Parker House in Boston. All still hold good hands and wear poker faces. Having spent last winter in Stratford, N. H., Rosy and Ellen plan to have a fine winter in Florida this year.

Received a nice note from Mrs. Bob Fiske from her home in Twenty-Nine Palms, Calif. Her interest in the Class of 1904 and the news of the men in the Class bring to her great pleasure.

Pat and Ann Manning had a busy summer entertaining friends, among them our old baseball friend, Dr. McCabe. The Mannings escaped the floods which hit the Rhode Island coast in September.

One of our best correspondents is Peacham. Your secretary is more than grateful to him for his follow-up of notes sent him. He forwards much additional news of members of the Class. Thanks, old dear!

Our headline this month is Bill and MarionSlayton's celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary. The congratulations and affectionate regards of the Class go to this grand young couple.

May I take this opportunity to wish to all Classmates of 1904 and to the members of their families a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from Sally and Beck.
