CLASS OF 1899

W. B. Adams had an unexpected and unwelcome call to his old home in Limerick, Maine, on November 19. The hundred-year-old house in which his mother and aged uncle lived was burned down. The inmates escaped with difficulty, and practically all the furniture was lost. Win's mother will be with him in Dorchester for a time

The Manchester Union of December 1 has a picture of four Hanover huntsmen, including F. A. Musgrove '99 and Charles R. Scott of Scotty's Cafe, sitting in front of an imposing string of eight deer.
