1904

Bertha Edgerly writes that she suddenly changed her residence a short time ago. She fell in her apartment at the hotel in Manchester and although no bones were broken, her back was badly bruised and she was obliged to spend a week in the hospital, moving from there to the Hanover Hill Nursing Home in Manchester, where she was at the time her letter reached us. She writes that her walking seems to be as good as ever, but she is trying to make it better and she plans to go to her beach home for the summer, where her sister will be with her, as she has for the past few years. In the fall she will be in New Hampton, N. H., with her sister. Her address in New Hampton will be Box 305, 03256. For the present this is the one to enter in the Class Directory but if you wish to send Bertha a card at once it will probably reach her still at the Hanover Hill Nursing Home, Manchester, N.H.

Another new address to enter in the Directory is 26 Farragut Road, Swampscott, Mass. 01907 for the Walkers. This replaces the Florida address.

By the way, if anyone is moving about, has lost the copy of the Class Directory which was sent them about two years ago, Robbie can supply them with another, on request. He writes that there are a few copies left from the original printing. If you want another copy write to E. K. Robinson, 441A Elm Street, So. Dartmouth, Mass.

Marion Woods has just returned from her cruise to South Africa and she reports her experiences there with great enthusiasm. The flowers were unbelievably beautiful. The places were well kept and the enthusiasm of the cruise members who went on the voyage was such that many of them expressed the intention to return at some future date. We have learned that earlier reports which stated that Marion had circumnavigated the globe were erroneous. She merely went to South Africa, the Scandinavian countries, and a few other distant places.

Don't forget to keep June of 1969 in mind, as a very important date for the Class of 1904. It will be our 65th and our last formal reunion in Hanover. Please plan to be there if you possibly can.

As you know by announcements from Hanover, a campaign to raise $51,000,000 for the Dartmouth Third Century Fund is progressing this year along with the Alumni Fund. There have been wonderful responses from the Trustees and the Alumni Council members which we from our octogenarian rocking chairs greatly admire. Although the ability of our class to give has greatly diminished, we will enthusiastically do what we can.
