CLASS OF 1899

Sam Smith's present address is Box 23, Centerville, Mass. He is only at Hatchville now and then.

The three children of Alvin B. Leavitt are all grinding hard in the educational gristmill: Norma is in junior high school; Bruce in high school; and Ronald—the Class Baby!—graduates from the electrical course at Pratt Institute, Brooklyn, in June.

Fred J. Crolius is engineering editor of The Blast Furnace and Steel Plant, published the first of each month by The Andresen Company, Inc., of Pittsburgh. In the December number Fritz has a six-page illustrated article in "The Sheet Steel Plant in Ashtabula."

There were ten members of the class at table together at the Boston Alumni Association gathering in Symphony Hall on January 25: Bill Atwood, Jim Barney, George Clark, Pitt Drew, Owen Hoban, Joe Hobbs, Warren Kendall, Tim Lynch, Herb Rogers, and Jim Richardson. Among the many others who would have been on hand that night if circumstances had permitted .was George Evans. As treasurer of the Massachusetts. Library Club, he had to attend an important meeting in Providence, R. 1., that same night.

The World To-Morrow for January contains an article by Professor Herbert A. Miller of Oberlin on "Nationalism and the Jews." Ped believes that the freshened nationalistic feeling's provoked by the war and also the ever-renewed struggle between the capitalistic and proletarian classes have both tended to cast a new and undeserved odium upon the race that has produced a Marx, a Rothschild, and a Jesus.

While Dr. Percy G. Drake spent the entire month of October visiting the doctors and branch offices throughout New York connected with the Travelers Life Insurance Company, Mrs. Drake made a visit upon her mother in Baltimore.

During that same month James L. Barney of Dorchester, Mass., spent a week as foreman of a criminal jury. Jim these more recent days has been helping put the big annual Y.M.C.A. drive over in Boston.

Luther S. Oakes has changed his residence from 417 Holly Ave., St. Paul, to 1905 James Ave., South, Minneapolis. The move brings Lute nearer to his office, which means incidentally a doubly warm welcome to any passing Ninety-Niner.

Dr. Neal L. Hoskins took part in two informal round-ups with classmates during the fall. One was with Bob Johnston, George Clark, and Jim Walker at the Rochester (N. H.) fair. The other was in mid-October in Detroit with Henry Berger, George Rounds, and "Weary" Wardle.

A Christmas letter from Horace H. Sears says: "The Cabin Home by authority of U.S. P.O. is now 137 South Broadway, Hastings-on-Hudson, town of Greenburg, county of Westchester, N. Y. Our P. O. service is part of Yonkers delivery." If anybody goes looking for Horace and can't find him after that set of directions, we shall certainly never send the inquirer into the Canadian North-west as director and guide of one of Walter Eastman's Grand Trunk touring parties.

One other change of residence address: Henry J. Berger is now at 504 West 143d St., New York city.

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