1913

George and Helen Watts' trip to Europe was splendid throughout. They were too early for tulips in Holland so spent a week in Paris and took "side trips." Then to Geneva to be with friends and the lovely spring in the lovely Lake Geneva area. Then the Loreli express to Amsterdam for the spring flowers. Then to Paris, Rome, Florence, and Venice and in the San Giorgia a ten days' cruise of the Greek Islands, Athens, Istanbul, Izmir (old Smyrna), and Ephesus. After that they cancelled the trip to Spain and returned to Geneva, being often with former Davidson College boys and their families. They returned to New York on June 10 and on to Cape Cod, their summer home, before returning to Davidson, N. C.

On July 27 at Ernest Thomas' home at Rock, Middleboro, Mass., part of the 1913 clan gathered for their annual summer meeting: Ben and Marion Andrew, Edmund andGladys Freeman, the George Watts, and of course, Ernest. Ernest's daughter Marion and her husband, who were with us on our 50th reunion, served the dinner.

The fiftieth wedding anniversaries continue. Those in September which we hope to report with pictures in the Newsletters were: Grover and Elsie Fox on September 7; Bob and Mildred Mungall, September 16; Fletcher and faith Tilton, September 5. The next are in 1965.

Later we will have Jack Alden's account of the 200th anniversary year of Columbia Grammar School in New York. It will be up-to-date for the celebration is the year 1904-05, starting with the graduation last June.

As this becomes due at the MAGAZINE office the Secretary is in Athens, headed for Piraeus to board the Stella Solaris for a cruise through the Greek Isles to Istanbul and back to Athens.

Vic Dunbar went down to Boston with Donald when the latter returned to his teaching at Simmons, and visited Steam Town Museum and the Monadnock region en route. They left for Waterville Valley October 4 for a brief stay.

Dave Logan spent three months in the hospital last winter with a bad case of walking pneumonia. He is now completely recovered.

Clayt Fairbanks reports that he does not have much more leisure than before he retired - perhaps less.

Harold Ransom takes in many of the football games each fall. He plans to attend the Harvard game this fall in addition to those in Hanover. Bill Terry has been on two fishing trips this past summer, one to Labrador for salmon and one to Canada.

Harry French has been to Ann Arbor to visit his son, Arthur, and his family, and flew from there to Corvallis, Ore., to visit relatives. He reports a fine trip.

John and Laura Remsen were in Hanover recently after a sojourn at Boothbay. The only thirteener he found at home was Vic Dunbar. They visited in Pottsdam, N. Y., before returning home to Long Island. They expect to leave the middle of October for a trip to Pleasant Hill, Tenn., via the Blue Ridge skyway and the Great Smokies.

As you probably know, your Secretary left for Europe, Africa, and Asia on September 5. Full report later.

Please let us hear from you, as your classmates are always interested in your doings.
