1900

Hear ye! Hear ye! Hear ye, all members of the 1900 Family! Our 60th reunion is in the offing. Begin your plans now to be in Hanover on June 10, 11, 12, and help put over another splendid reunion. We are hopefully expecting you. If in any way possible don't fail us.

Betty Redington, widow of Paul Redington, is experiencing a most happy and longlooked-forward-to event. Her daughter, Mary Ann, is back in the United States. On Sept. 29, after three years spent on Army duty in France, Col. and Mrs. Church and their two sons arrived in this country by Army transport. Col. Church has been reassigned to Fort Lee in Petersburg, Va. As soon as the colonel is adjusted in his new situation and the boys are settled in school, Mary Ann flies out to Waukegan, Ill., to visit her mother. What a joyous reunion that will be, and what a talk marathon the two will havel Sometime after Christmas Betty is planning on moving to San Diego, Calif., where her son Edward and his family are now living. She wants to settle down in a small efficiency apartment. Betty has a great yen for a place of her own where she can be again surrounded by her very own household possessions which have been in storage for many years. In August Paul Jr. spent a two weeks' vacation from his duties with the Walgren Drug Co. in Waukegan with his brother in San Diego. During this time the two brothers had an invigorating five-day camping trip in the California mountains.

"Cut" Tirrell writes me that his wife is in very poor health. Much of the time she is confined to a wheeled chair. He gladly gives his wife constant attention and rarely leaves her alone except to do the necessary shopping. "Cut" reports himself in excellent physical condition. The class extends all good wishes to Mrs. Tirrell with the hope that she too may get back to a normal condition of well-being. "Cut's" flower gardens, one of his absorbing hobbies, have suffered severely during the past summer through lack of attention and because of a prolonged drought which hit eastern Canada. He is expecting his daughter and family to come back from England and to make their permanent home in Canada. For a number of years his son-in-law has been Assistant Treasurer of Sun Life Assurance Co. with headquarters in London. "Cut's" son, Donald, who lives nearby, is employed as Sales Manager for Shawnigan Chemical Ltd. of Canada. He is in charge of sales in both Canada and the United States which means that much of his time is spent on the road. He surely must cherish the times when he can be home.

A note from Jeannette L. Rich, widow of our D. B. Rich, announces the exciting news that she is now a great-grandmother. According to modern population trends, our "Greats" show the curve moving upward at a somewhat sharp angle. "D. B.'s" and Jeannette's daughter married Howard Milner '27 and their daughter, Elizabeth, is the mother of the great-granddaughter. Herewith the class extends warmest congratulations to Jeannette who has so recently become a member of that select and exalted group of Great-Grandparents.

"Chan" Sanborn's grandson, Wayne Comer, who graduated last June from Phillips Andover Academy, is now a member of the freshman class at Rice Institute in Houston, Tex.

We have news that Harry Davis' son, John, has recently become associated with the Brown Lumber Co., and has moved to Berlin, N. H.

Although Sept. 26 was a bit of a check to Dartmouth football expectations, it proved to be a delightful date for Charles and Alice Proctor. Their son Charles Jr. and his wife arrived in Hanover on the 25th for a visit of some days. They flew from California to Boston and drove up to Hanover in a U-Drive-It car. They have reached New England just in time to see the unfolding of the brilliant autumnal coloring. This is indeed a joy-filled occasion for Charles and Alice.

In early September the Goodhues spent several pleasant days in Rockport, Mass. The weather was most co-operative providing us with a number of clear, cool, lovely sunny days. It was a striking change of scene from the green clad woodlands and, in some lights, the violet and purple rolling hills of Vermont to the rock-bound coast of Massachusetts. For these few days we thoroughly enjoyed fishing fleets, lobster pots, quaint old houses, artist colony, jagged rocky promontories, white-capped swelling tides, and the almost sapphire blue ocean dotted here and there with the white sails of small boats. And, like most vacation interludes, we were quite content to get back to the "old home haunts again."
