Mrs. Anna Mossman of Cincinnati,' Ohio, has announced the marriage of her daughter, Anna Louise, to Arthur William Stone, on Wednesday, January 3, 1923. Mr. and Mrs. Stone will be at home after March 1, at the Hotel Seymour, 50 West 45th St., New York city. Stone has the heartiest congratulations of his classmates.

Twenty-seven members of the class made what, now may be considered their happy annual pilgrimage to the Executive Mansion of the New England Telephone and Telegraph Company, 50 Ledges Road, Newton Center, Mass,, on the evening of October 27. This is the largest number of '94 men that ever assembled outside of Hanover. Since last year's gathering was also the record up to that time, the chances seem to be that after a while the attendance will reach 100 per cent. Those present were: Adams, Allen, F. C., Ames, Bartlett, A., Bartlett, R. W., Berry, Burroughs, Colby, Duffy, Gifford, Griffin, Hardy, Hodgdon, Harris, Howard, Hurd, Jones, Knowlton, Lyon, Mann, Marden, Martyn, Parker, Sherman, Spooner, Smalley, F. L., Taylor. In writing to the Secretary about the gathering Jones says: "Seven of thesev had, I believe, never been at one of my round-ups before. In addition to these I had acceptances from Boyd, Nunc Norris, Lewis, and Ted Ruggles. Something came up rather unexpectedly to keep Boyd away. He called me up, saying that he would not be able to get over to the dinner, but would show up about eight o'clock. He did not put in an appearance, however. Lewis also called up late in the afternoon to say that he had been floored with the grippe and could not. come down; while Ruggles and Norris sent word at the last moment that business would prevent them from putting in an appearance. I was very sorry not to get the thirty that I had expected to, but the crowd appeared to have a good time, as many of them came early, and the party did not break up until around 10.30. Three or four knots of men formed around the room, visiting ardently with each other, and men moved from one group to another as the spirit willed them. Jim Townsend sent a telegram, and the unexpected occurred when Charlie Berry produced a telegram received yesterday from Antioch, 'Cal., signed 'Webster.'"

The class owes an increasing debt of gratitude to Mrs. Jones, as well as to her husband, for making these gatherings possible and making them delightful.
