CLASS OF 1905
John H. Bell was in July elected principal of Pinkerton Academy at Derry, N. H., and entered upon the duties of his office at the opening of the school year in September.
Joe Gilman is now established with his china and glassware in his new store at 367- 377 Boylston St., Boston. The first broadside from the firm, Jones, McDuffie, and Stratton Corporation, states that one of their wall papers is a copy of paper in an old Hanover homestead.
Mrs. Eliott P. Frost has a second volume of poems, recently published by Harper and Brothers, entitled "Hovering Shadow." In addition to the expression of her own emotions, as in "The Lost Lyrist," Mrs. Frost gives here fascinating portraits of some of the picturesque Nantucket folk, together with a frontispiece etching by Emerson Tuttle.
Harry Preston this summer returned to his old profession of teaching English at the summer session of the Normal School in Keene, N. H. This was his first teaching in seven years, since he went back to Henniker to care for his parents. The six weeks' experiment led to his appointment as a regular member of the staff. He keeps Ms hdme and permanent address at Henniker, carrying on his work at Keene during the week.
Mrs. C. C. Hills was severely injured in an automobile accident near Hanover in August, and was forced to spend several weeks in the Hitchcock Hospital.
Bill Clough's older boy, Joseph, was in July appointed permanent major of the Third Battalion of the Citizens' Military Training Camp at Fort McKinley. The Manchester Union carried his picture at salute, and stated that he was high ranking man among 120 New Hampshire boys in the regiment. He is entitled to wear three medals, having qualified as a sharpshooter on the rifle range, as an expert swimmer, and as a first-aid expert. Two years ago, he qualified as the best "red student" in camp, the color signifying the year of service. Joe is a junior at Dartmouth. Bill's other son, William P., Jr., is at Tabor Academy, where he is playing half-back on Lil's football team this fall.
Viv Knight's daughter, Ruth, graduated from Radcliffe a year ago, and is now secreary to Rev. Vaughan Dabney, minister of the Second Church in Dorchester at Codman Square (Boston).
Judge Ralph W. Reeve recently sold his estate at. 139 Atlantic Ave. in the Phillips Beach section of Swampscott, Mass. It is one of the show places of the beach, with rare trees, grape vines, formal flower gardens, pergolas, and a lily pool.
The class contributed $2,512 to the Alumni Fund, which is 75 per cent of the quota of $3,334. The contributors numbered 91, or 71 per cent of our living graduates. In all, we have given to the fund since 1906, the sum of $23,662.91. A comparison with 1904 or 1906 is quite satisfactory to 1905, but if with 1902, 1903, 1907, or 1908, it's not so good, as each of these latter gave this year 100 per cent of their quotas, or more.
Ernest N. Worthen's son, Merrill, is a member of the freshman class. So far as known at the present writing (October 1), he is the only son of a member of the class of 1905 to enter Dartmouth this fall.
