CLASS OF 1889

Mary E. (Nickerson), widow of William M. Newton, died at their home in Hyannis, Mass., December 15, 1920. Their only son, William C. Newton, is a florist in Hyannis.

Ralph S. Bartlett gave a dinner at the University Club, Boston, on January 14, to the following eleven men of the class: Allen, Anderson, Blakely, Cutler, Doane, Ferguson, Flagg, Noyes, Ramage, Riley, Robie. After dinner "Prexie" gave us a really unique entertainment, which was a surprise, although we have come to expect something unusual whenever he does anything for his friends. For several months he has been collecting recent photographs of all the class, and from them has had lantern slides made. Byway of contrast, slides were also made from the photographs taken during our senior year at College, and the two series, thirty-two years apart in time, were shown together. While probably of very slight interest or value to others, to us who were present these pictures recalled many pleasant memories. We appreciated especially seeing the pictures of several men whom none of us had met since undergraduate days. In addition to these personal pictures were forty or fifty others, ineluding members of the faculty and various scenes at Hanover and vicinity, some taken in the late eighties and some at reunions or on occasional visits to the College. Letters of greeting and regret at their inability to be present were read from many classmates, and we felt that the evening had given us one of those delightful events, hard to describe to others, but of inestimable value in strengthening our affection for Dartmouth and for Eighty-nine.

Frank W. Philbrick of Lancaster, Mass., who has been more or less incapacitated by illness for the past few years, has so far recovered as to be able to resume active work. He has been appointed postmaster at Lancaster, and took charge of the office in January.

Secretary, Dr. David N. Blakely, 87 Milk St., Boston
