1905

Along with the robins and blue birds, our Florida contingent is back in their winter abodes in New England. Besides C.C. Hills and Fred Chase, whose return we noted last month, Charlie and Ruth Good-rich and Roger and Jane Brown left the Southland in April. If the New England weather is like that of New Jersey, I'm afraid they may be sorry to be back so early.

Witb burnble apologies I rnust correct a careless mistake, a trick ok memory, wben in the April '05 column I mentioned Molly as the wife of John Bell. Molly died in 1955. John married Lucy Tweedy of his home town, Washington, N. H., some time later. Incidentally I hope that John will bring Lucy to our reunion in July.

Fred Weston and Herford Elliott with his wife had the pleasure of attending a Dartmouth Horizons gathering. C.C. Hills enjoyed chats with these three '05ers. A further word about C.C., he was impressed with our advancing years by the fact that he represented the next to the oldest class present at the annual meeting of the Dartmouth Club of Hanover in April. The oldest class was '02, represented by Charles Dudley and wife. I'll refrain from mentioning what tempus is well known to do!

After years of ill health, Allen Smith passed on March 19. We had missed him and his wife at our reunions during this period. Services were held at Bigelow Chapel, Mount Auburn Cemetery, Cambridge, Mass. Interment was at Westview Cemetery, Lexington. Allen had been a lifelong resident of that historic town.

The news in regard to the Alumni Fund drive continues to be very encouraging both from the standpoint of the College and our class. Keep up the good work in support of our agent, Roger Brown, and newsletter writer, S. B. Cunningham. Both are doing a highly commendable job.

We hope to see a lot of you in Hanover in mid-summer. Remember the date, July 10, 11, 12. Don't disappoint us!

As this goes to press, word is received that there has been a second death in our 'O5 family. Walter B. Small died on April 21 in Providence, R. I. Formerly one of our most regular attendants at reunions, he had been prevented from coming in recent years by increasing physical infirmities. He was very loyal and generous in his devotion to Class and College.
