CLASS OF 1905

There were fourteen members of the class and one son present at the supper at the City Club in Boston on October 26, the night before the Harvard game. Bill Clough showed up late after a speedy trip over the road from Hanover, and it took at least three desserts to fill him up. We were all ears for Jim Donnelly's story of his scouting Harvard and instructing the team in Hanover during the last few days. Rufus Day, Tubby Besse, and Walter Emery were there from New York, and had a lot to say about A 1 Smith. Hersam brought his oldest son, not the one who is now in college. Si White was present from Portland and Jake Smith from Detroit, and the Boston men attending were Bourdon Bedell, Lafayette Chamberlin, Chase, Wilkins, and Harding. Greetings were received from a number of the absent members of the class, including Fletcher Hale, who could not be present as he was scheduled for two political speeches that evening in New Hampshire. Fletcher and his wife did attend the game, however.

Mrs. Charles F. Goodrich writes that Charlie is in Denmark, but for how long she does not say.

Ed Newdick reports a change in his address in New Haven, Conn., to 349 Elm St.

The entire Loder family is interested in sailing. Halsey's daughters, Elizabeth and Mary, took part in the races for the Bancroft Cup at Cohasset in September.

Charles S. Borden's home address is 6920 Chappel Ave., Chicago.

The Secretary would not be human if he failed to be pleased at the many enthusiastic acknowledgments which have come from members of the class and from others, on the receipt of the sixteenth report which was sent out in August, and he wishes to express his grateful appreciation for each and every one. One member of the class states that he stayed up half the night reading it and will contribute to the next one. Several say they have read it frdm cover to cover, while others have to take it gradually, perhaps to avoid an overdose of joy! One voices the thought of all of us, when he writes: "It certainly was good to hear from the fellows—wish they had all written."

Harry W. Taplin reports a new home address at 3273 Enderby Road, Shaker Heights, Cleveland, Ohio.

Bill Clough's younger boy, William P. Jr., is a student at Tabor Academy, and played fullback on the team this fall.

In the chinning season this fall George N. Proctor 3d was pledged Theta Delta Chi, and Joseph Clough, Beta Theta Pi. Now, there is no pledging allowed until Sophomore year.

Charles E. Estes of Robert College, Constantinople, spent the summer in Austria, and did some tramping in the mountains of southern Austria. In July he was present in Vienna at the huge "Musikfest," where 180,000 singers assembled from all over the world.

John B. Whittier is district representative of the Leonard Refrigerator Company in Chicago, and lives at 240 Wisconsin Ave., Oak Park, 111.

From the geographical index in the class report it is interesting to note that the class is represented abroad by the following men: Alexis D. Pelletier in Canada, Arthur J. Ela in Alaska, George R. Colson in Panama, E. Percy Noel in France, Edward C. Richardson in Japan, Charles E. Estes in Turkey, and Fletcher Hatch in Colombia, South America. With 4 men in the State of Washington, 3 in Oregon, 3 in Ohio, 1 in North Carolina, 4 in Minnesota, 2 in Florida, 3 in Texas, 2 in Colorado, 10 in California, and 13 in Illinois, not to mention 16 in New Hampshire, 19 in New York state, and 59 in Massachusetts, and the rest of the class scattered through twelve of the other states and the District of Columbia, the entire country is pretty well covered.
