1903

These are the last class notes until October. The July issue is always given over to Commencement and the reuning classes. Please don't forget the "sec" during the summer and have your items for October issue in by August 15.

Andrew "General" Jackson died April 9, 1960, in Washngton, D. C. No details are available at the moment.

Isabel Whipple, wife of our Dana, is hospitalized with a fractured hip. Healing has been satisfactory and she expects to be home shortly with good recovery. Good wishes to the Whipples.

One of the things which impresses "the sec" is the interest taken in the Class by others. Anne Perry of '06 affiliation was the first to write about the death of Sue Hanlon. Anne, hope your interest in the class will continue and that we may see you at reunions and sitting in for the Hanlons. You will always be welcome.

Pip Howard also wrote about the passing of Sue. The Howards seem to have become one hundred percent Floridians.

Stanley Besse '05 — Tubby to most of us, wrote kindly of Mort French and also of Kink Burnham. Ned Redman '06 a coresident at Ridgefield, Conn., also wrote about Mort.

Only a couple of letters have come in from the Class since the last issue. Was growling the other day about the poor response and my good wife asked, "and what sort of a letter writer were you?" Had to allow that a letter came from me about once each five years and then in answer to inquiry as to presence at approaching reunion. Guess I shouldn't complain. Class support has been good but it would be wonderful and helpful to get more frequent and newsy notes. You have no idea what a kick your "sec" got out of the post card which only said, "Brain's tired—want to say hello."

The editor with the blue pencil has helped often in making these notes more readable. For which, "thanks." But he got things a bit off balance in May notes in "see's" efforts to portray Carmel, where Bill MacLennan lives, as a bit old-fashioned by mentioning among other things that "chicksales continued in vogue." The blue penciller changed that to read "Chicken Sales continued in vogue." Good grief — not to have recognized the name given to the "one and two holer," the latter usually a sign of affluence when located with a south exposure and an interior which included a third station for a child and suitable racks for old newspapers and a Sears-Roebuck catalog.

A statement comes along regarding progress on the Alumni Fund. We have 47 grads and 16 non-grads. To date but four have responded. The drive is one-third along. No doubt contributions will speed up in the weeks ahead. These words will come to you early in June and in plenty of time to do your part if you have not already done so. Don't worry about the amount but be a donor. We Potholers used to pride ourselves on the high percentage of contributors. Let's not again be found in the low position in the C.G.C. where 1903 stood lowest in participation among the 10 Veteran Classes, 1900-1909.

Best wishes for a happy summer and safe motoring.
