CLASS OF 1900
Mr. and Mrs. Cornelius J. Mahoney announce the birth of a son, John Regan, on June 20 at their home, "Witchfield", in North Andover, Mass.
Rev. H. I. Marshall has been elected president of the Christian Endeavor Society for all India. Marshall is also a member of the executive committee of the trustees of the Baptist College in Rangoon. He is now working in connection with the educational department of the Government of Burmah for the establishment of a university for Burmah. Harry writes that on the last trip which he made into the hills he used elephants for carrying his camp outfit.
The annual out-door round-up of the Class of 1900 was held at Hampton Beach on June 9, 10, and 11. Two large cottages were rented. In spite of rainy weather, twenty members of the class were present at different times during the round-up.
Dan Arundel was chairman of the entertainment committee, and it was largely due to his untiring efforts and intelligent planning that this was the most successful roundup the class has ever held. Two colored chefs were working constantly to supply the famished guests with sufficient sustenance. The party took care of most of the lobster catch of the Beach, and the produce of one large farm in the near vicinity.
A political aspect was contributed to the gathering by the presence of the Honorable Guy A. Ham. The only disappointment was the late arrival of Dr. William Stickney, who journeyed from Rutland, Vt., to reune, but missed a train, so did not arrive until late on the night of the 11th, when the guests had departed.
Special interest was given to the occasion by the announcement of the engagement of Julian W. Phillips of Framingham. Julian attended this party especially to make this announcement, although he was able to stay for only one night.
The local features were—wonderful surf, a stranded aeroplane, and a wrecked schooner. It is expected that every member of the class residing in New England will attend the next round-up because of the enthusiastic reports which were received from those who were present this year.
The following is a list of those who attended :
McDavitt, Rankin, R. T. L. Lewis, Merrill, Arundel, Mathes, Prescott, Emerson, Phillips, Davis, Boyd, D. B. Rich, Gibbons, Atwood, Buckley, Ham, Dolloff, Mahoney, Stickney.
Harry S. Fairfield has become assistant secretary to the Commissioners to Consolidate the General Law of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. This was a Civil Service appointment. The address is Room 481 of the State House.
Guy A. Ham has been elected a director of the Natick National Bank, which has a capital of $100,000 surplus and undivided profits, and more than $900,000 assets.
Harry Hutchins is now connected with The Kilby Frog and Switch Co. of Birmingham, Ala., in their Drafting and Estimating Department. His home address is 2506 35th Avenue, North Birmingham. On March 1, 1916, he was married to Elizabeth Roswell Moore of Birmingham. Mrs. Hutchins died on June 17, 1916.
1900 has enjoyed an enviable position in educational work in the more remote territories of the United States. In June, 1915, W. J. Colbert received the degree of A.M. for distinguished work in the Philippines. Another member of the class has almost rivaled Colbert's work, both in length of time and in efficiency. The following is a mere statistical outline of the positions held by L. R. Sawyer:
1900-01, principal at Sabana Grande (the first American principal appointed in the Island—assigned by Gov. Brumbaugh, Pa., then Commissioner of Education) ; 1901-02, superintendent of schools, Caguas; 1902-03, superintendent of schools, San Juan; 1903-06, field supervisor (general superintendent) for the Island; elected to the position of librarian in the Ateneo, the leading native literary society at the capital, for the last year and a half of his residence there; 1906-07, in Spain, France, and Cuba, attending the summer course at the University of Dijon; 1907-08, special assignment, Manila; 1908-10, supervising teacher, Daguapan; 1910-12, division industrial supervisor, Pangasinan; 1912—, industrial inspector, Bureau of Education; 1912-14, chief, industrial and publications division. Bureau of Education; 1915—, acting superintendent Philippine Normal School, 1915 , division superintendent of schools, Tayabas. Contributing editor to The Philippine Craftsman, 1912-14, 1915—; managing editor, 1914-15. Next year Sawyer will have completed ten years' continuous residence in the Philippine Islands, except for a month in Hong Kong last year. Sawyer writes that at the end of his ten years' residence he will be ready to leave the Philippines for good. He will probably spend a year at Columbia, working for the degree of A.M. As for the future, he says: "Somewhere in South America." The class of 1900 is proud of Sawyer's record. He is one of those who have contributed much to educational development, both in Porto Rico and in the Philippines. Our only regret is that continued residence in foreign countries has made it impossible for us to see him.
L. G. Hodgkins, who has been connected with the insurance business ever since he left Dartmouth, has been appointed general manager of the National Automobile Underwriters' Conference of New York city. His business address is 80 Maiden Lane. This organization is an association of those companies who deal in automobile insurance. Hodgkins' duties will be the studying of rates and the handling of this business as an expert for the various members of the association. It is a very responsible position, and covers a new field in insurance activity.
Henry N. Teague has been nominated for the office of state treasurer, on the Democratic ticket, of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Mr. Teague has been a lifelong-Democrat. His nomination to this important position on the ticket comes from the desire to select a strong man in the Berkshire section of Massachusetts. His nomination reflects credit on the college and class, and the Democratic party.
Harold W. Orcutt was a member of the Redistricting Commission of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. This committee is a very important one. Mr. Orcutt was one of three lawyers who were on the Commission to represent its interests in court. His independent and constructive attitude while on this Commission has contributed greatly to Orcutt's reputation as a lawyer and as a public servant.
Mr. and Mrs. Natt W. Emerson announce the birth of a son, John Hamilton, August 30, 1916.
Mrs. George Carter Coster announces the marriage of her daughter, Joan Cecil Holbrook, to Julian Wallingford Phillips, September 12, 1916, at Halifax, Nova Scotia.
