1902

Memories of a delightful day at "Interlaken for Girls" on Lake Coniston in Croydon, N. H., are still fresh in the minds of those of us who were fortunate enough to be able to attend the class reunion in 1957. A recent letter from Charles Dudley reports that he and his wife are still active at the camp though many of the details are now handled by their son Bernard and his wife Anne. To quote from the letter, the camp "is recognized as one of America's leading educational summer camps." I can well believe this. They have girls from about 25 states each summer and have had them from 23 foreign countries in recent years. We wish you continued success, Charles and Ida Louise.

Burr Royce Whitcher is another member of the class who is still active. Although "retired" and suffering from arthritis which keeps him from making house calls, he cannot shake loose from his medical practice entirely. Good work, Burr.

E. B. Watson is also still going strong. He sent me a copy of an official minute of the faculty of Saint Paul's College which reads in part (I am quoting without his permission) "Resolved, that an expression of personal interest and of prayerful concern be extended to our fellow-worker, Dr. E. Bradlee Watson; that our constant prayers for a speedy recovery and a restful convalescence be assured; and that his presence among us is greatly missed.... (Signed) Earl H. McClenney, President."

Wattie was absent for a physical check-up and subsequent operation in Hanover and was expecting to return shortly to his work. He is a most enthusiastic booster for Saint Paul's and uses as correspondence cards many excellent photographs of life on that beautiful campus in Lawrenceville, Va. I wish I could share them with you all. If you would write to him, you might also be favored with copies.

M. B. Perkins used to be our long distance runner on the Varsity Track Team and still covers a lot of ground. You will remember that he married Harriet, daughter of Prof. Ed Bartlett of our day, and granddaughter of Samuel Colcord Bartlett who preceded Dr. Tucker as President of the College. Mose writes from San Jose, Calif., where he has lived with his daughter, Eleanor Mann, since his wife's death. He says he has become entirely rejuvenated by throwing himself whole-heartedly into the social work of his church. Anyone else, who is suffering from senescence? Mose heartily recommends the treatment.

Another report of interest to all of us is that Marion Irvin plans to continue to live in Evanston, Ill., and will not move to Florida as so many widows of classmates have done. You know that Marion has a double bond with the class through marriage first with Guy Abbott and then with Arba Irvin. You are truly one of us, Marion.
