CLASS OF 1909
Bob Burns' father passed away December 81. He was often present with Bob at affairs attended by members of the class and had that rare faculty of being companionable with a younger crowd, not usually found in men of his age. His geniality and keen sportsmanship endeared him to all of us who had the good fortune to know him, and we regret his loss, not only on Bob's account but on our own.
A well deserved honor has been conferred upon Mrs. Albert R. (Emma Fall) Schofield, in her appointment as a judge of the Municipal Court by Governor Allen, marking the first appointment of a woman to the bench in the history of Massachusetts. AL and the two boys were present at the first session of the Maiden court over which she presided. It is said that the two boys, while attentive, impressed, and well behaved, were not so overawed that they were unable to smile at mother even when she was presiding with all of the dignity of judicial robes. Mrs. Schofield resigned her position as assistant attorney general of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to accept this appointment. She has long been prominent in Massachusetts business and political organizations, and her appointment is an official recognition of her position as a leader of the women members of the bar of the state.
We have received the following letter from Sawney Reagan:
Dear Bob Undoubtedly, you have heard more or less about the recent Stanford-Dartmouth game, and I will not attempt to discuss it in any detail. It was, however, a bang-up affair, and it was nobody's game up to the last minute.
The game was made the occasion of a national Dartmouth "get-together," and there were representatives from most of the larger cities throughout the country. It was a real round-up for the Pacific Coast alumni, and at a dinner held the night before the game nine of the 1909 crowd got together, which included most of the crowd on the Pacific Coast. Ashworth, Barney Dreyfus, Merrill Follansbee, Ed Martin, Bob Mower, Bill Patterson, Claude Simpson, and Gene Stark were among those present. In all, there were probably 150 at the party. The occasion was not one set for securing individual or personal notes, but the whole crowd appeared to be prosperous, and I know they all enjoyed the week's program as well as the game itself. Most of us are looking forward now to dropping in on the Boston crowd next year when the Stanford game is played in the Harvard Stadium.
With kindest regards and best wishes, I ana Cordially yours, SAWNEY REAGAN
Slim Cummings is in the real estate busi- ness at Great Neck, N. Y., and lives at 268 Ridge Road, Douglaston, N. Y. We haven't been able to persuade Slim to break away for a class party for quite a long time, but we have an able-bodied delegation that proposes to have him present at the next one, dead or alive, with no questions asked or answered.
