CLASS OF 1899

George M. Rounds, Jr., arrived in Detroit, Mich., September 7. George, Sr., will doubtless now have a personal interest as "social investigator" in other forms of motor vehicles than those produced by his boss, the head of the Ford Motor Company.

"Eddie" R. Skinner has changed his address in Southbridge, Mass., to Gardner St. Charles I. Risley writes from Pleasantville, N. Y., that "business is very quiet." Now that the election is over, Charles, we look for different news.

"Herb" Rogers and his family occupied a cottage at Green Harbor, Mass., during the summer. The cottage was next door to that of the Secretary's next-door neighbor in Melrose Highlands. There is more than one way for a hard-working class recorder to pick up news.

George L. Huckins, assistant engineer of the B. and M. R. R., rode in to Manchester N. H., from Henniker the other day with Herbert Rice. It looks as if Herbert must have partly converted George to the idea of a "back-to-nature" life, for what does he do on his return to Boston but pull down most of the North Station train shed. Sunshine and fresh air—and rainstorms and blizzards— are to have a free hand in the future in sweetening and toughening the health and the dispositions of northbound suburbanites.

Speaking of railroads, Walter R. Eastman is now general agent, Passenger Department, of the Central Vermont, Canadian National, and Grand Trunk railroads. His Boston office is in Room 206, Old South Building, instead of Room 510. Some time when you see Walter ask him if he had a good night's sleep on his return by boat from Yarmouth the night of November 2. Expert weather observers believe it must have been the unprecedented waves of Republican pluralities sweeping out to sea that made the "Georgia' roll so "like a log" that night.

One more railroad item. Philip H. Winchester has been promoted from the position of division engineer of the St. Lawrence Division of the N. Y. C. and H. R. R. to that of the Syracuse Division. His new residence address is 659 Allen St., Syracuse, N. Y.

Secretary, Kenneth Beat, 55 Botolph St., Melrose Highlands, Mass.
