Ellis Briggs, back in the United States on a vacation after two years at the American Consulate at Lima, Peru, joined the steadily increasing ranks of '21's married men on Saturday, May 26, when he married Miss Lucy Barnard, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Everett Larkin Barnard of New Rochelle, N. Y., at the bride's home. Joe Bruning '23 was Rollo's best man, and Ned Price, over from Reading, Pa., just for the occasion, was among those present. Ellis and Mrs. Briggs visited Hanover on their honeymoon. They sailed for Lima from New York on June 21. Ellis was promoted during his stay here, and he returned to Peru as a secretary of the American Embassy at Lima. He had been a vice-consul during his previous stay there.

The record for the largest family to date, according to the secretarial statistics, is now held by Roland Batchelder, who is the proud dad of four youngsters. The youngest, a girl, was born in February, and Miss Batchelder has three big brothers. Batch, who is principal of Public School No. S at Perth Amboy, N.

According to latest reports from the Hub, Bill Owen is steadily gaining fame for himself as a banker. He is connected with the Boston office of Lee, Higginson and Company, having entered the employ of that firm soon after graduation. In the intervening seven years Bill has worked his way up from one of the lowliest rungs on the company's ladder to the post of right-hand man to the comptroller of the firm.

Joe Folger is spending the summer in Spain studying, whether the latest tangoes as danced by the lovely senoritas or the language of the country, our informant failed to state, but as Joe is teaching Spanish at Dartmouth we'll give him the benefit of the doubt and say both. Incidentally, at a recent meeting of the board of trustees Joe was appointed a member of the Dartmouth faculty for the coming year. In case you have forgotten, Joe left the Huntington School in Boston at mid-years last winter to become a member of '2l's colony of teachers in Hanover.
A traveler from the Mid-West reports that Homer Cleary is teacher, being a member of the faculty of the University School in Cleveland. We wonder if he still pounds out such mean tunes from a piano as he used to back in the Golden Era.
