THE CHATTERBOX 27 box. Please find enclosed thirty-five cents for the June issue of the Chatter- Yours for the future success of W. R. H. S. Dear Friends: Evelyn J. Ingram '29 Wells River, Vt. May 19, 1930 My hobby is still horses but I am sorry to say that the class prophecy of '29 did not run true to form in my case. However, I have had three per- fectly gaited saddle horses besides my own to exercise since mid-winter. The horses are especially fascinating as each has his own particular disposition and manners. Recently my work has been gardening. I like this and I have tried to learn to be able to distinguish each plant, its color, height, and the time in which it blooms. My goal continues to be a riding school with thorough-bred horses; I hope this will materialize some day. Sarah Martin '29 -----5---- OTHER CLASSES HEARD FROM 1903 Mrs. Eliza Wilson Dean, class of 1903, is Commissioner of Welfare in Putnam County, New York. She writes that she cannot be present at the banquet this year but will try to meet friends and classmates in 1931. -----§---- 1926 212 Wheeler Hall March 24, 1930 Dear Winston: You wrote me some time ago asking me to let you know at least what I am doing. I am very sorry to have neglected answering you in time for the report of 1926” in the Chatterbox. This is my present occupation and status: A Junior here at Dartmouth, a Chemistry Major” preparing for teaching. Now you have my brief his- tory. I received the Easter copy of the Chatterbox yesterday, and I have read it through. It is certainly very good, and I always enjoy it. I read the Woodsville paper in the reading room of Baker Library every week to see what our high school has been doing.

u THE CHATTERBOX 1917 2214 Carabel Ave., Lakewood, Ohio May 14, 1930 Dear Friends: There is nothing of special interest to write about myself. As 1 am urged to send a message, I’ll explain my whereabouts. f Being a teacher of first grade takes up a large part of my time. It s interesting and I enjoy the work. Lakewood is a pleasant city in which to live. It is a suberb of Cleve- land and located on Lake Erie. , However, at this time of year, I must confess a longing for the sight of a hill and a desire to see my old friends at Wells River. Sincerely, Lizzabelle Warden '17 ----$----- 1918 Wells River, Vt. May 20, 1930 I am with my father in the store. I enjoyed last year’s Alumni Num- ber of the Chatterbox very much. I hope many of the out-of-town Alumni will answer your letters and help to make this issue even more interesting than the one last year. Wendell B.

May 5, 1930 Dear Friends of W. R. H.

28 THE CHATTERBOX If any of the boys from W. R. H. S. want at any time to come down to any of our athletic contests, they are welcome to come and stay with me. My roommate and I keep open house.” Just let me know, and I’ll do my best to have you have a good time while here. Very best wishes for the continued success of W. R. H. S. Sincerely, Wendell J. Whitcher '26 ----§----- BASE BALL April 15, at Wells River Wells River 11—McIndoes 2 Mclndocs came to Wells River for the first game of the season and returned with her first defeat. Both teams were green, of course, and it showed up in the field and at bat. But Darling evidently had them guess- ing at some of his slants while his teammates piled up a decisive lead. April 29, at Wells River Wells River 5—Peacham 3 These were two evenly matched teams and both decided that the game should be theirs. But with Wells River’s new battery and a good eye in the box, we managed to hold our ground and come out on top. May 2, at McIndoes Wells River 5—McIndoes 3 Wells River seemed to keep her habit of 5-3 victories and altho it was plain that McIndoes was out for revenge with a three-run lead in the first, Wells River hit when hits counted and scored their third win of the season. May 5, at Wells River Wells River 3—Bradford 21 Bradford came to Wells River and easily took our scalp to the tune of 21-3. They both fielded and batted much better than we and a smooth path of errors paved them to victory. May 7, at Bath Wells River 4—Bath 3 Altho outhit 9-7, Wells River brought the runs in when they counted, and then at the last inning, staved off a rally to win 4-3. May 13, at Wells River Wells River 8—Bath 12 The thirteenth was Wells River’s unlucky day this time and with a three-run lead in the first, we were too sure and altho we for over half the game held the lead, finally we were covered.
