Class of 1899

The men who sat in the '99 section of the Yale Bowl on October 16 with their families were N. Brown, Benezet, Greenwood, Hoban, Leavitt, Parker, Smith, and Storrs.

At the time of the Harvard game the Secretary was out West making a speech to an Indiana teachers' association, and no report has reached him of the number of '99 men who "re-uned" at the Stadium.

'99 was well represented at Hanover at the game with Brown on October 31. Hoban, Donahue, Clark, Jordan, Richardson, Musgrove, Storrs, Benezet, Barney, Jim Walker, and a number of the old standbys were in attendance.

The Democratic nominee for secretary of state in Massachusetts was none other than Major Francis W. Cavanaugh. Cav ran ahead of his ticket, but the Fuller vote carried in the others on the slate.

By the way, Cav's Boston College Eagles, at time of writing, (November 10), are among the three important teams in the East who have neither been beaten nor tied.

Pap Abbott, Jr., is the only one of the sons of '99 who has joined his father's fraternity. The others have strayed into strange camps.

Pap, Sr., is no longer with Payne-Webber and Company. A rival firm has evidently offered him greater inducements.

Jim Richardson was among the representatives who were re-elected to the New Hampshire legislature, and he will undoubtedly again be the bell-wether of the House.

Peddy Miller has been good enough to send two or three of his classmates copies of the letters which he wrote his wife from Moscow and Leningrad during his long visit there last year. They are most fascinating. Peddy thinks that what is going on in Russia is so important that a hundred years hence the Great World War will mainly be remembered as the prelude to the Russian Revolution. '

A Hartford man whom the Secretary met at the Yale game was loud in his praises of the splendid engineering work done by the firm of Greenwood and Noerr, whom he pronounced at the top of their profession in the state.

Maurice Sherman '94 has left the Springfield Union to become managing editor of the Hartford Courant. This leaves Maurice Dickey as the big boss at the Union office.

Jim Barney and his wife recently returned from a lengthy trip out West. Mrs. B's health is reported as greatly improved.

Secretary, Public Schools Office, Manchester, N. H.
