1894

For the most important event in current '94 history members of the class will turn to the obituary section of this MAGAZINE. In next month's column further reference will be made to our loss in the passing of "B.Smalley" (as he liked to call himself). Thank you again, Phil Marden, for your incalculable cooperation in the work of this secretary.

Mrs. Billy Mann, as long as her husband lived (he died in 1930 after a perfect record of attendance at class Reunions) was right alongside him in class devotion; since then she has been constantly with us, her last appearance being at the fall Round-up of 1958. Her death took place at St. Petersburg, Fla., which of late years has been her winter quarters. The funeral was at Woodstock, Vt., on January 2, at which Arthur and Ann Stone expected to represent the class. She leaves three Dartmouth sons, to all of whom was given her maiden name as their middle name: William Dewey '22, Richard Dewey '26, Thomas Dewey '33.

Since 1926 Eddie Grover has been blessed in his home by the presence of his sister Eulalie who at the age of 85 died on Christmas Day. Miss Grover was the author of 27 books, the last five of which are still in print after 20 to 40 years of publication. Her last book, "Benjamin Franklin, The Story of Poor Richard," was published just before her 80th birthday. Her books have sold more than 4,000,000 copies. As a friend remarks, "For a woman to capture the spirit of childhood as she did, and never a mother, is unbelievable."

Extracts from letters read at the fall Round-Up:

Mrs. Bud Lyon: "We had a wonderful summer with ten grandchildren and great-grandchildren here to break up the monotony. Seven at one time! The countryside is beginning to glow with autumn color and nearly every day someone drops in on their way somewhere else, on a foliage tour."

Mrs. Curly Bartlett: "I am sure it will be a gala occasion and I wish I could be with you - but on that date my sister and I shall be in the State of Utah to visit Bryce Canyon, Zion Nat'l Park & then on to the Grand Canyon and all 'way stations' (as Rolla would say) meaning other points of grandeur and interest incident to the trip."

Mrs. Irving Read: "I hope you will have a goodly crowd and have a wonderful time "

Mrs. Gene Grow: "Warmest greetings to you, and the Boys and Girls of '94. Eugene could seldom join you, and only once was I privileged to meet the class. That year Mr. and Mrs. Stone gave a delightful garden party, which I shall never forget."

Mrs. Henry Hurd: "It would be very pleasant to again greet the old friends, but I will have to forego the pleasure this time."

Mrs. Aubrey Lewis (from South Carolina): "We have been watching the path of Helene anxiously for twenty-four hours. Last night it seemed we would get dangerous winds and rain. It is still cloudy and humid, but I believe we are out of danger. I hope she goes out to sea. ... Frances and family have moved to Raleigh. ... The two youngest girls spent two weeks with me this summer. The teenagers are too much for me."

Mrs. Harry Amey: ... "As for me, I could not be better. ... I am still busy with my fancy work. It takes up a lot of spare time and lonely hours."

Sixty-Fifth Notes: Arthur Stone is our "frater in urbe" that is, he is the member of the committee who handles local arrangements. Alfred F. Bremble Jr. ("Ted") '56, assistant to the Secretary of the College, is our liasion man with the College, and will see to it that we have good beds to sleep on and plenty to eat!
