1904

All members of the Class of 1904 and Dartmouth men of many other classes will be saddened by the news of the death of our beloved Sidney Rollins on December 21, 1959. Sid won the respect and affection from his classmates rarely given to any man. Always the leader in Class affairs and for the past five years President of the Class, he planned our reunions and round-ups. He was deeply concerned with the welfare and health of every man in the class. Gracious and sincere in all of his contacts with them. It will be impossible to disassociate his name from the class of 1904. No man of the class will be more sincerely and regretfully missed. It is with the deepest sorrow your Secretary records his obituary in another section of this issue of the Dartmouth MAGAZINE.

The Christmas and New Year season always brings to the Secretary greetings and messages from nearly every member of the Class as well as from many of the wives of classmates. This year has been no exception. To all he gives his sincere thanks for their expressions of appreciation for his service to the Class.

Louise Brayton, daughter of Bascom, our oldest member, reports B.B. is up and around and enjoyed so much our reunion in June. The Websters are now spending the winter in Florida. They write the Walkers are in Arizona until spring. Also on television they often hear the voice of Owen Burdett's son giving the news from Italy. The last of the Chicago gang, Frank Stowell, sends greetings from his suburban home, 1316 Maple Ave., Evanston, Ill. Child Lewis is spending the winter with his son at 3003 Fiddlers Green Road, Cincinnati, Ohio. From the weather reports out Montana way I judge it is too cold for the "Child" out there A really cheery note from Jerry Hatch from Santa Monica. Nice to hear from you, "Red."

All-American quarterback Jimmy Brother-hood is retiring from service at the Muskegon Michigan Sanatorium and going back to his farm in Grand Rapids, Mich. Being off the beaten path not many classmates get a chance to see Jimmie, drop a card to him.

Ike Torrey now resides at the Eastland Hotel in Portland, Me. He compliments the College on having graduated some fine men. "Bull" Turner says the dinner party given in his honor by the Dartmouth Club of St. Louis was a most happy occasion, and he thanks classmates, many of whom sent him messages of congratulation. "Bull," we all are happy and proud of you.

Bernie Boyle, pretty much confined to a wheel chair and crutches, sent a cheerful note from his home in Florida. Thanks Bernie, it was fine to hear from you.

Pen Mower will spend the winter in Nassau. Ike Charron has had a hospital now home. Send our ex-secretary a note at his home in Wellesley Hills, Mass. The Boston gang on the whole are in pretty good shape, all except Perce Hobbs. The old Tri Kappa never writes his brother. How come, old timer? Myron and Marie got down to Massachusetts and had a nice visit with Carl and Marion.

Speaking of Christmas cards all the girls from Maine sent the Secretary greetings - Mrs. Austin, Ames, Fling, Moulton and Sewall. As did those from California Mrs. Fiske and Favor, Perkins, from Maine to California and from Florida to Washington State thirty five sent Sally and the Secretary greetings — to all they send their most sincere thanks. One of the cards from Mrs. Lester Ames touched the Secretary deeply,, she wrote, "I miss Lester's calling me from his armchair, 'Find me a Christmas card and Beck's address. I must send him a card.'" I shall always keep that card, Belle.

It's not too late to wish you all "Happy New Year."

Secretary, 100 North St., Pittsfield, Mass.

Treasurer, Box 406, Morristown, N. J.
