Class of 1900
The Daily Dartmouth in its issue of April 28 has the following advertisement for the Dartmouth Dining Association:
"Self-service means that you receive finer food served more quickly and cheaper than you can have it at establishments where there is a large corpse of waitresses."
We did not have any Dining Association in our day. The medical house had its specimens for anatomical study. Rough as we were, we never made a practice of taking our meals there. This exhibit that the Dining Association advertises even makes men of the rough nineties feel a bit squeamish. I wonder if times really change as much as we think they do. Anyway, waitresses seem to be holding their own.
Announcement has just been received of the marriage of Virginia Romfh to Roland Grosvenor Eaton. The marriage took place on February 18 at Palm Bay, Fla. After June first Mr. and Mrs. Eaton will make their residence at Danvers, Mass.
News from Hanover and vicinity contains the startling announcement that Buster Fairfield has had to give up baseball at Kimball Union Academy this year and be operated upon for appendicitis. The operation was entirely successful, but the K. U. A. baseball team is in despair. Buster was captain of the football team at K. U. A. last fall, although he was a junior, and the team won second place in the central New Hampshire preparatory school league. He is captain again for the coming year, and in addition is one of the leading amateur golfers of the state. Buster Fairfield, as you may surmise, is the son of the Honorable Perry Fairfield of Hanover, N. H.
The annual meeting of the New York 1900 contingent was enlivened by the presence of Dago Phillips and John Redington. Dago is now situated at Newark, and is a permanent member of the New York group. John Redington happened to be in New York on the evening of the meeting. By the way, John's son is about to take up his work in an airplane plant at Bristol, Pa. He has always been very much interested in flying and in the development of this industry. Major Redington is now 89 years old and in comparatively good health. He is looking forward to being in Hanover for his seventieth reunion. Paul Redington is planning to make a trip to Alaska this summer, and. that completes the news about the Redington family.
Bob Jackson sailed several weeks ago for a three-months trip to Europe. Bob is no longer interested in trans-Atlantic flying. He was one of the first to promote this proposition, and certainly through his efforts a great deal of interest was aroused.
Judge Sidney F. Stevens of Somersworth, New Hampshire, died at his home on Thursday afternoon, May seventeenth. Early in the year he underwent a very serious operation in a Boston hospital and there was no chance of recovery. A more complete account of his career will follow.
Secretary, 10 State St., Boston
