1899

Thanks for the many Christmas cards! Here are more newsletter postscripts: - The Eleanor (Maurice Dickey) Drysdales of Randolph, Vt., sent out their annual Holiday newspaper broadside of family prints. One showed Maurice, Harvard '66, and Isobel, Smith '68, lugging heavy bags home for vacation. Florence (Mrs. Walter) Eastman is "bearing up very well as a prospective greatgrandmother" in Illinois, while in Massa- chusetts her grandson, Allen Eastman, graduates from Amherst in June. Two corrections: Alice (Mrs. Walter) Foss was born in California, not Colorado; and she and Walter spent some years in the Philippines, not Hawaii. Sorry, Alice.

Montie and Martha Fuller's granddaughter Nancy is in Madison, Wis., where her husband is teaching Math after receiving his doctorate from Penn State. Joe Gannon is having a steady stream of Dartmouth callers in West Cornwall, Conn., such as recently Elliot Brill '16 and Stuart Cleaveland '27, both from Torrington. And Joe's Alumni Fund appeals were in your mailbox before February 1. Bill Greenwood's son Jack and Peggy report daughter Mary Ann, Mt. Holyoke '67, is spending sophomore year in Ireland at the University of Dublin. Muriel (Mrs. Gus, or Mrs. "Spade") Heywood has been vacationing and swimming in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.

Jessica (Mrs. Willard) Hyatt and her librarian daughter Ruth now live right opposite Louis Benezet's daughter Genevieve Butterfield in Farmington, Conn. Ed Hyatt's son Allen reports his Army son Bill's July 18 son Scott is Dad Ed's first "great." Lena (Mrs. Clarence) Joy and daughter Polly Plumb in Malone, N. Y., had a surprise call last fall from Lillia (Mrs. Frank) Musgrove after Lillia had visited her granddaughter in Potsdam. Elizabeth (Mrs. Carl) Miller ate Christmas dinner in Stamford with daughter Mary-Lou Spang and the latter's daughter Elizabeth Louise. Virgil (Mrs. George)Rounds spent her holidays with George Jr. '42's family in New Jersey, and the Roy Rowans '41 in Connecticut. Daughter Helen Rowan's youthful sons (the "Four Nicks") turned up in a candid Christmas snap with the two older Nicks pushing the two younger ones in a wheelbarrow gathering leaves.

Dave Storrs' daughter Phoebe Stebbins and Jack have bought an eight-acre summer home on Georgetown Island near Bath. Me. An old cemetery on this property has headstones, mirabile dictu, memorializing some long-forgotten "Beals"! Jim Walker's granddaughter, Judy Decato, a Wheaton College music major graduate, is working in the N.E. Conservatory of Music library. WearyWardle's son Harry's son Roger graduates in June from Brown, while son Allen enters New England College in September; thus Lee, now ten, remains a hopeful Dartmouth prospect. Tom and Elisabeth Whittier's daughter "Ginnie" Warthin's son, Lt.(jg) Jonathan, is at sea as Reactor Control officer on nuclear submarine "John C. Cal- houn." Tom's daughter Lois Batten in Detroit reports son Bill in Olivet '67, and mother Elisabeth in Detroit with the Battens for the winter. Mabel (Mrs. Elmer)Woodman was ninety last October. "Still enjoys books, drives, picnics and, most of all, people."

Our last postscript is a sad one, just received. Grace (Howland) Sargeant, widow of M. Motley Sargeant, died January 18 in New Bedford, Mass. She had been ill for a year. She was a member of the Pilgrim United Church of Christ, and active in many local causes. Among these were the Y.W.C.A., the City Mission Board, the New Bedford Port Society, the New Bedford College Club, and the Association for the Relief of Aged Women of the city. Surviving are a son, Howland H. Sargeant '32, President of Radio Liberty Committee; two daughters, Mrs. Kenneth N. Packard of Oberlin, Ohio, and Mrs. Thomas W. Farnsworth of New Bedford; and six grandchildren. Before her husband's death in 1946 Grace and he had been among the most active members of the Class.
