Class of 1893
The classes of 1891 and 1892 having won the attendance cup at the Commencements of 1931 and 1932, it seems to be up to the class of 1893 to continue this 40-year record run by rallying 'round the flag in unprecedented numbers in June, 1933. As a first step to this desirable end let us have more subscribers from this class to the ALUMNI MAGAZINE, SO that information about the reunion can be easily and thoroughly disseminated.
One death and one marriage have been added to the vital statistics of the class since the last issue of the MAGAZINE. The death was that of Harry Hilliard, and is reported in the department of necrology. The wedding, which served as a class reunion, inasmuch as the bridegroom and the two officiating clergymen were members of the class, was that of Dr. Elam R. Wright of Alton and Mrs. Minnie Nelson Prescott of Natick, Mass. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Byron F. Gustin of Amherst, Mass., assisted by Rev. Frank N. Saltmarsh of Derry. Doctor and Mrs. Wright, who were classmates at Gilmanton Academy, 43 years ago, were attended by their children by former marriages, Miss Marion Wright of Newmarket and Winston Prescott of Cortland, N. Y. They will live in Alton, where the Doctor has practised his profession since completing his medical studies.
Another '93 reunion of the summer had President and Mrs. Guy W. Cox entertaining at their Chichester Brook Farm in Pittsfield, Judge and Mrs. Frederick N. Chandler of North Andover, Mass., Mr. and Mrs. Charles B. Gordon of Newton Center, Mass., and Mr. and Mrs. George E. Greeley of Marlboro, Mass. The Secretary was privileged to hear the voices of the company over the telephone, but regretted that he could not be present in person and hear the whole story of that celebrated case in which Gus Sonnenberg, the wrestler, was tried in Judge Chandler's court for reckless operation of an automobile. The event "made" the first pages of all the Boston papers except the Christian Science Monitor, but Zack sternly refused to agree to a proposition to have the trial put on the radio from the court room.
The new address of Rev. Willis T. Sparhawk, as reported from the College Alumni Records Office, is 295 North Main St., the Granger Homestead, Canandaigua, N. Y.
John D. Ayer, since August, 1903, continuously in the service of Uncle Sam as rural mail carrier on Route Number One out of Claremont, was retired by age limitation this year; and his fellow employees of the Claremont post office presented him with an easy chair and bridge lamp.
At a meeting of the Rockingham County Bar Association at the court house in Portsmouth, in the course of a memorial service for deceased members of the association, Judge Edwin B. Weston of Derry paid an eloquent tribute to the late Judge Benjamin T. Bartlett of the same town.
Next month we will cover the '93 field from Maine to Minnesota, viewing political, military, social, athletic, literary, dramatic, and hygienic fields. If you don't believe it, subscribe to the MAGAZINE and see if we make good.
