CLASS OF 1893
The big news of this instalment is the fact that Dr. Herbert S. Martyn of Cuttingsville, Vt., has been elected to the legislature of the Green Mountain State and will spend most of the winter in Montpelier. If the man they elect speaker is wise he will appoint the Doctor as one of the tellers, for not even Tom Reed himself could beat the King of the Monitors at counting a quorum.
Our other Vermont M.D., Dr. L. W. Burbank of Cabot, was a prominent legislator in that state about 20 years ago. Ted Weston came to the New Hampshire legislature from Derry in 1909, and President Cox was a leader in both branches of the Massachusetts legislature before he got tired of politics. But as a general thing members of our class do not seem to have hankered much for public life.
When you '93 folks see Captain Bobby Rolfe of the Dartmouth varsity baseball team doing things on the diamond next season, you will be interested to know that and his great-great-grandfatherand thegrandfather of Bill Mann of our class were one and the same man, "Squire" Bill Gage of Boscawen, one of Daniel Webster's pals. It is our prediction, by the way, that before Captain Bobby gets through playing baseball he will have put Penacook on the map as nobody but Hannah Dustin ever did before.
Julius Irving Read got his diploma in 1894, but all of '93 will be interested to know that the directory of the Dartmouth Association of Northern California has him listed as a teacher in the Sonora Union High School.
Sam Hunt talks for a living in the interests of the Public Service Company of New Hampshire, but for the fun of it, to Kiwanis clubs and such like, he discourses on how to climb mountains, and tells "an interesting story," according to press reports.
We hear, also, from Manchester, that the Junior Associates of the Eliot Hospital, Miss Adelaide Dodge, treasurer, netted $1,000 for their pet charity by a recent special edition of the TJnion-Leader newspaper.
A card from Caswell indicates that he is still in charge of the educational melting pot at Milford, Mass.
