1901

There is no change in the number of those planning to attend the reunion, since the May issue of the MAGAZINE.

From Dot, widow of James (Jim) StuartSmith, this letter was received: "The reunion announcement came the other day. I'm sorry but I shall have to pass that up. My beat these days is between Boston and North Chatham, which has been my summer home for sixty years. Since I no longer drive I am somewhat restricted. If I get off the beaten path this year it will be to attend a grandson's wedding on Long Island at the end of May. The family is trying to arrange things so they will be comfortable for Grannie.

"By the way my youngest son and only Dartmouth graduate, Steve, had twin boys at the end of January. Of course he's walking on air. As I already have two well-grown granddaughters, having new grandchildren makes me feel quite young and frisky."

A return card signed by Charles B. Dunnington reports that his mother Mildred, widow of Herbert E. Dunnington, is in a convalescent home and is not very well. The sympathy of the class is extended to her.

From George French: "I recently drove up to Westford, Mass., and had a nice visit with Alice and Charlie Hildreth. Of course they were very happy over the result of the town meeting. Alice was elected town clerk with a margin of ninety votes." Congratulations, Alice, you earned and deserve it. The town showed good judgment in keeping Alice in office as town clerk. Her successor will have a difficult time as it is a very demanding office and needs years of experience. George continues "I think Charlie is about the same in health and that as you know is not too good; his sight and hearing are both impaired. My attendance at the '01 reunion depends on my getting a room at the Inn. So there will be little need for walking. Our ranks have become thin in the past five years."

A note from Eleanor Prescott Gray, widow of Charles Irving Prescott, who died in 1932, says she has had her ups and downs the past two years, has been in the hospital but has been very lucky. She is now getting out quite a lot and is feeling much better. Her cousin is staying with her and she is a good companion so she is lucky on that score.

From James (Jim) S. Clark: "Your note of February 19 came to hand and I thank you very much for the birthday greetings also for including Winnifred in the message. She is a good girl and now she is working and very much interested in the 'Experiment in International Living,' the exchange of foreign students, citizens, etc.

"As to news I guess I am too much of a home body to come into contact with the big world. See Brother Robert about once a month. He is treasurer of '02 and he brings bulletins, etc., with the college news. Wish I could go to the reunion but I guess 89 plus years could not go the rounds of the wonderful old 1901's. The date you wanted is September 7. Jim."

Frank Cudworth attended the 28th Anniversary Masonic All-States Night here in the new Bayfront Center Arena. It is the largest Blue Lodge event held anywhere This arena seats over 6000 people; there were over 3100 men in attendance. Pennsylvania led with 466, followed by New York state with 455; Illinois with 392; Massachusetts with 222, etc. There was one represent ative each from Japan, England and Ire land.

It was an enjoyable evening to be lone remembered.
