1901

The report from the Hathaway Ranch in Arizona for Christmas 1954 is certainly most interesting and inspiring, and there Dora and John have found happiness, peace and many good friends. Dora says, "We find every day full and though sometimes we remember the smell of salt water and the deep scent of the pines hot in the summer sun, we have only to raise our eyes to the everlasting hills, from whence cometh our help, and it is a real help, for how otherwise could we have our abundant water and warm winter sunshine?"

Last month we noted that although BillSykes had not been well all the fall, he was then better, but we have just learned that he has been in the hospital for an operation. We shall hope to hear he has returned to his "farm" and once more is his active self.

In checking through the list of men enrolled in our class, including those entering in the fall of 1897, and also those who transferred during our college course, we find a total of 191 men. Five of these we have not been able to locate for many years. However, of the total of 186 men, there are 85 living today, a percentage of nearly 46%, which is really a very remarkable record, after our being out of college nearly 54 years.
