Class of 1899
At the Harvard game on October 22, seated in the '99 section, were Bill Atwood and Martha, Mot Sargeant and Howland, Frank Musgrove and Richard, Hale Dearborn, Mr. and Mrs. Barney, Mr. and Mrs. Rowe, Mr. and Mrs. Benezet, George Clark, Mr. and Mrs. Hopkins, and Mr. and Mrs. Johnston. Dr. and Mrs. Parker and the two girls were seated in section 14, as the management refused to let Dave have four tickets in the '99 section. And it is a safe bet that Charles Donahue, Pitt Drew, Tim Lynch, Herb Rogers, and other privileged characters had special seats reserved for them.
The Secretary recently took a trip to Hanover to look up the members of the entering class whom he had sent there. He called upon the two sons of '99 who have just entered, Robert M. Dickey and Joseph G. Huckins. Robert rooms in Wheeler Hall, while Joseph is in College Hall. Robert fooks very much like Maurice except for his dark brown eyes. Joseph is over six feet, slight and wiry. Both boys have made a good start, and '99 will undoubtedly have occasion to be proud of their records.
The "Sons of '99" delegation now in college includes Herbert Ezra Adams, Kenneth Malcolm Beal, Alson Morgan Abbott, Wendall Barney, and Robert Winchester. Among those planning to enter next year are James Abbott, Roger Benezet, David Cavanaugh, Edward Hodgkins, Robert Huckins, William Hutchinson, Jr., William Kendall, Robert Nye, and Howland Sargeant.
On October 8 Silver, Speare, Joy, and Benezet staged a little '99 round up at a schoolmen's conference at Manchester, Vt. Clarence is doing very well at Proctor. The Secretary recently talked with George Mann '94, who told of the excellent work that Clarence had done in Hartford and White River Junction, and how the district missed him.
'99 was represented at the Brown game at Providence by the Benezet and Sargeant families. The Dartmouth cheer leaders had a hard time leading the old grads through the new yells. The old boys insisted on sticking in the T-I-G-E-R.
Peddy Miller is the first man to state definitely that he is going to have trouble in getting to the Thirtieth Reunion. In June, 1929, he is planning to leave for a trip across the Pacific to Vladivostok, thence across Siberia. He arrives at Beirut about the first of October, and teaches in the University there with Julius Arthur Brown '02, until the end of the first semester. This may necessitate his leaving the United States before our reunion. Peddy has been at every single one of the reunions except the Fifth, and it would be too bad to miss him on this occasion.
Secretary, 88 Lowell St.,. Manchester, N. H.
