1894

For our July birthdays, Billy Ames will celebrate his 86th birthday on the third of this month; and the 36th year (approximately) of his being the treasurer of the Class of '94. FredBushee followed Billy into the world by three years and eighteen days, making his birthday July 21.

The Hanover Inn reports that Philip J. Marden registered there, April 13. Since when, Phil have you changed your middle letter?

Mrs. Frank Griffin reports five granddaughters. Her daughter Barbara is moving to California, but her .son Robert remains in New Hampshire. Mrs. Griffin writes:

"I am still in Sharon where I live at Frank's physician-brother's office, acting as his assistant and secretary. I like my work and keep busy and happy."

Mrs. Bud 'Lyon has felt the pull of the ancestral Lyon home at Peru, Vt., and will settle there permanently July 1. She will be near her daughter Eleanor, whose husband, Sherman Baldwin '23, manages the century-old Orvis Inn at Manchester.

Correction: Mrs. Louise Claggett Gaines lives at 1165 Fifth Ave., New York, not at 1175 as given in the March column. For some strange reason, postmen in New York don't correct addresses when they are only ten numbers off.

It will be a fitting observance of the first anniversary of our 60th Reunion i£ we give to the world the poem which Eddie Grover gave to us on that memorable occasion:

The Last Man Out

Time's Ancient Clock has ticked For sixty years and more, Since first we coalesced and knocked On Dartmouth's open door. We came from hamlet, town and city. Some from God knows where! Called by a yearning for learning, And Hanover's mountain air.

We came, we saw, we fell in love With the Lady of Classic name, Whom now we call our Alma Mater. And ain't we glad we came! For four long years she wore us down, With this and that for knowledge, Until at last she tired of us And we said, "Good-by, College!

Then our dream of dreams came true. Some climbed the hills, some slid the skids. All fell in love with lovely girls, And fathered wonderful kids. It's been a grand and glorious time, And we've honored Dartmouth s name. Every friendship we shall cherish - To the very end of the Game.

We are the living remnant of those Who, sixty years ago and more, First coalesced and knocked On Dartmouth's open door. Now, as we near the Mystic End, I know what you're thinking about - You are thinking "How Jonely that man will be Who is the last man out!"
