CLASS of 1900
John Moody called to see the Secretary on his way to Maine. He is making a tour, and visiting all the 1900 men possible on the way. John looked well, and said that things were going very well with him. He is still at Haines City.
Clarence McDavitt and Mrs. McDavitt had a very interesting trip to Canada. They took one of the ocean liners to Montreal, and spent some time visiting important points in eastern Canada, then returned on another liner to Boston.
The last class report failed properly to record the honorary degrees which Harry Marshall has received. The first was the degree of S.T.M. (Master of Systematic Theology) from the Newton Theological School. He also received a D.D. from Colby College. Harry writes quite a lot about the Gandhi movement in India, but what he says is not for publication, so I will not quote it at length.
Fred Jennings won the cup for the second flight at Kennebunk Beach this summer. He played wonderful golf and succeeded in defeating in the finals a seven-handicap man. The papers contain no information of Lem Hodgkins's prowess, but I suppose he was trying to get Fred in shape.
Clarence McDavitt has been made vicepresident of the Telephone Company. It is a recognition of long years of wonderful service. His duties still continue the same. His son Clarence has just finished building a - house in Winchester. More important than that is the birth of a son, Edward Mansfield McDavitt, so Mac is a proud grandfather.
The out-door round-up was held at Landlords' Inn at Templeton with Henry Teague as host. There is not enough space to recall all the happenings. The most dramatic event was the blossoming of Harry Sampson as a golfer of real worth. We understand that Harry Hutchins had a number of mathematical puzzles which caused a headache among all the less gifted of the class. Another event was a visit from Owen Hoban, whom you
will remember as connected with one of the classes immediately preceding ours. We think it does these '99 men a lot of good to attend 1900 gatherings, and they will always be welcome.
There isn't space to record all the activities of Henry Teague. Suffice it to say that he has purchased and is running the Mt. Washington House in addition to the Landlords' Inn and is the Pooh Bah of the railway, and is, I gather, pretty much a part of everything connected with that particular New Hampshire hill. He commutes between Templeton, Boston, and Mount Washington, making very frequent calls on Perry Fairfield. Henry has had a very busy summer and has done well under very trying circumstances. It does not seem to have reduced his weight a bit, but perhaps later on when the railway has stopped running and he has to walk up the mountain, there will be a visible decline in avoirdupois.
Secretary, , Room 903, 10 State St., Boston
