CLASS OF 1894
Jack Allen's class report is a delight. Perhaps it is well for him to discard ad interim the solemn and portentous mien of the jurist, and give his classmates a thriller, full of stimulating and happy things—as this report was.
The Secretary has received announcement of the marriage of Matt Bushnell Jones, Jr., to Abbie Louise, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Prince Spear, at Brookline, Mass., September 30, 1930. They will reside at 16 Chauncey St., Cambridge, Mass., after November 1.
Jim Townsend's existence just now is more hectic than ever. He is the generalissimo of the organization that is staging the round-up at San Francisco November 26-29, at the time of the game.
Major Elmer Seth Tenney goes to Honolulu on a new assignment December 1. He had the chance to go to Denver, but the Hawaiian Islands made the stronger appeal.
The Secretary reports being in Washington and seeing the fellows, except Sunapee Bartlett. He was inaccessible except by telephone, and was unable to attend the service when C. C. preached, which is Sunapee's loss.
Walter Merrill is anchored in the federal city, but it is hoped he will drift northward for the next reunion. He is making a home for his mother, who is over eighty and in good health. All the rest are "going strong." Billy Wallis and Tenney talk of retiring, but few are disposed to let go while they can carry on.
The sympathy of the class goes out to Frank Hodgdon, whose son Kendall has died. For several years he lived in Arizona, making a brave fight against tuberculosis.
Letters under date of September 25 from Matt Jones have been received, reminding us of the Harvard game, and more particularly of the night before when we are invited to his home for dinner. Another landmark in life, and another evening of fragrant memories. No one has done so much to keep our class loyalty intact.
On August 3 the Congregational church of Meriden celebrated its 150th anniversary. The writer attended, and was rewarded with a reunion, comprising Rossiter, Penniman, Dutton, and himself.
Secretary Merrill has forwarded a copy of the "Wrangler," reciting the activities of Jim Townsend in bringing about the Dartmouth round-up in San Francisco, November 2629, 1930. He suggests making the vacation period in November or taking a second vacation then.
