CLASS OF 1899

Herbert S. Rogers has sold his house in Newton Upper Falls, and is at home again in Newtonville. Address him at 144 Harvard St.

After three years' strenuous work with the Bethlehem Steel Corporation at the Fore River plant, Quincy, Robert E. Croker finished up his assignment last July. He took a short long-overdue vacation, and is now busy as salesman for a gas-lighting device. His present territory includes Cape Cod, and allows him still to reside at home with his mother in Quincy.

Among the speakers in Chicago last November at the National Academy of Sciences was Dr. Raymond Pearl of Johns Hopkins. Ray declares that pauperization and "hospitalization" are weakening the human race.

Last summer Frank M. Surrey and his wife took advantage of the long vacation to make a trip to South America. It is good to know that Frank's health has been so entirely recovered that he made the difficult trip through the Andes without suffering any ill effects. We hope to hear more details of the trip later.

George L. Huckins and his twelve-year-old boy Robert spent Columbus Day at the family cottage on Long Beach, Gloucester. The cottage is four miles from the railroad station, but Huck and Bob hiked the distance, with two bags and a gun for luggage, in fifty-five minutes. They bagged one duck, and expect to get the rest of the flock on the return migration in the spring.

When Edward B. Wardle left Grand Mere, Canada, last October, for a short vacation, he celebrated by taking in the big tent Dartmouth Night, and by calling at the "Farm" in Plymouth. Later he looked over Worcester Academy,—with his twelve-year-old boy Harry in mind- But he greatly disappointed Jim Barney by not showing up in Boston for a challenge golf match that Jim had tried to arrange.

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