Class of 1899

Dr. Everett V. Hardwick has removed his office from 430 Marlboro St., Boston, to his ■new home at 168 Mt. Vernon St., Dedham. Here he will in the future do work only in consulting and operating. Of this new home he says : "Our little home is a dream, and if there is any modern improvement which I have not been stung for it is yet to be placed on the market. However, we old fellows must have comfort and cozy nooks."

At the Dartmouth-Vermont game in Burlington, October 20, H. O. French of St. Johnsbury was present. One thing that impressed him was the strong support given the college team by the business and professional men of Hanover, who seemed to have made the trip in large numbers and who showed in every way a marked spirit of loyalty. "Franko" also was on at the Cornell game.

Dan Ford and his wife gave their Buick a rest last summer, and spent the money needed for repairs in a trip to Europe instead. Leaving Montreal on June 23 on the "Doric," they arrived at Liverpool July 1. After visiting the English lakes and London, they traveled to Dieppe and Paris for three weeks. Grenoble and Geneva were followed by England again. Among the many places they visited were Harrow, Bournemouth (partly because of Hardy's "Tess"). Stonehenge, Isle of Wight, Dartmouth. Gloucester, Oxford (eight days), Stratford, and Llangollen. They reached the United States in the "Montcalm" on September 14, and were back in Lake Forest ready for registration on September 16.

The first two weeks in October found Dr. Percy G. Drake and Mrs. Drake vacationing by a thirteen hundred mile drive up through New York state. The Million Dollar Highway to Niagara Falls was balanced by a trip back to Hartford through the Catskills. To top off, they took in the World's Series in New York city.

One. of the most interesting items of recent news is that from Albert Tootell, principal of the Blackfoot Indian High School in Browning, Montana. "Toot" is a grandfather! The happy event occurred on August 25, 1923, and the youngest and most distinguished member of the '99 family goes by the name of Everett L. Balyeat, Jr. The mother, formerly Dorothy Tootell, herewith receives our heartiest congratulations.
