1913

Our president Milt Aronowitz joined his ancestors on August 8, almost exactly a year since the last '13er, William Bronk, crossed the great divide. The class of 1913 owes a debt to a most efficient officer. He was the only member of the class who was still active in the practice of his profession. But his devotion was recognized. At the suggestion of those in authority, he was awarded the Andrew J. Scarlett 'lO citation, which reads: "It is most fitting that the Andrew J. Scarlett award, honoring as it does the devotion and dedication of one who for many years was head agent for his class of 1910, be awarded to another who has worked long and hard for the Alumni Fund as head agent for the class of 1913. The Alumni Fund committee is very pleased, therefore, to present the Andrew J. Scarlett Award to Milton Aronowitz of the class of 1913."

John Remsen is the only member of the class who is still active as a class officer. He chairs the Alumni Fund committee, and he has been able to add $1,700 to the reserve, for which we are grateful. In a recent letter he complains because his ill health did not permit him to take an active part in a parade honoring certain of his ancestors who served in the Continental Army during the Revolution. John's cousin, Ellen Remsen 'BO, was invited to participate as a member of an American team in Australia this past summer. She had an enviable record in field hockey during her undergraduate years. She is now teaching in Connecticut.

Priscilla Page wrote your scribe that her father, Fred Page, was in the hospital suffering from circulation difficulties that affect his ability to walk. Up to that time, he had been living by himself from Monday to Friday, when Priscilla took over. Fred will be 92 on October 28, and until he entered the hospital he prepared his own meals, except for one, which was delivered by Meals on Wheels.

Gladys Freeman is living at Sunset House in Waterville, Maine, while she is recovering from a broken hip.

Gus Perry is still busy with his puzzles. It keeps him from climbing the wall during his retirement.

At the moment there are 16 of us who are able to come down to breakfast. The three who did not graduate are Crenner, Dent, and Tilton. Those who twisted the tassel on the mortarboard on a June day in 1913 are Baker, Davis, Dunbar, Forsaith, Foster, Frazier, Gumbart, Morey, Page, Perry, Remsen, Tucker, and Watts.
