Henry Teague breezed up from Miami, arriving in Boston the last week in April. He was looking fine, feeling fine, and was fine. He lias had a very good season, and left Boston to get his hotel in shape in Williamstown. Henry's genius for entertainment was never more in evidence and the secretary of the class is a witness to this statement.
Fred Atwood has been very, very sick. Nurses and doctors and nurses and doctors were hovering around his home in West Roxbury. He had a form of blood poisoning which it took him a long time to throw off. It was extremely painful and very dangerous. However, he is well again, at least enough so to sit up, read the papers, and telephone the office. It is pretty hard that Chelsea has had to go through all of this, and he certainly has our deepest sympathy.
F. C. Lewis reports that Ms health is greatly improved. He will not, however, take up active teaching work again. The last letter we had from him was mailed from Hotel Huntington in St. Petersburg, Pla. F. C. reports that Mrs. Lewis too is better, although still a great sufferer from neuritis. The older daughter, Beatrice, was married on February 2 to Martin Donald Billstone, a Columbia graduate and a member of the advertising staff at McCreery's. Mrs. Billstone is now in Europe buying merchandise in France, Germany, and Czecho-Slovakia. F. C.'s other daughter, Madeleine, is a first grade teacher in Rye Country Day School. That is all that we know about the Lewis family.
John Long writes that he has resumed work, although only on a part time basis. He feels that he will soon be in first class shape.
Clarence G. McDavitt, secretary of the class of '67, reports the engagement of his son, Clarence, to Miss Emily Mansfield of Lynnfield, Mass. The bridegroom-to-be is deserving and the bride-to-be is wonderful- so say all admiring friends.
After a lingering illness, Mrs. Harry Jenkins died at the Newton Hospital on Friday night, April 12. Several operations were performed, but proved of no benefit. The funeral was held on Sunday, April 14, at the home at 230 Melrose St., Auburndale. Dr. Boynton Merrill of the class of 1915 conducted the service. The house was filled with loving friends who came to pay their tribute to Mrs. Jenkins. The class was represented by the secretary and Dr. Butterfield. Mrs. Jenkins was a wonderful mother and a fine helpmate for Harry. We are glad that she is released from the severe pain of her illness. We imagine that the house on Melrose St. will never seem the same to Harry and the children.
Secretary, 10 State St., Boston
