CLASS OF 1890

John E. McDonald attended the celebration of the 150 th anniversary of the surrender of Cornwallis at Yorktown, as the special ambassador of Governor Ely. Mac delivered the governor's message from Massachusetts, one of the thirteen original states. He met many very prominent people, including Gen. Pershing, Gen. Petain, and descendants of Lafayette, De Grasse, Steuben, and Rochambeau. They were the invited guests of the United States as descendants of Europeans who helped us in our great struggle. The Massachusetts delegation was quartered in the Hotel Chamberlain, and lived in regal style as guests of Governor Pollard and the state of Virginia.

Mrs. Dora Clark Odlin, widow of the late William Odlin, died December 30 at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Harold E. Abbott, at Andover, Mass. She was a frequent visitor at the home of Miss Mildred Crosby in Hanover in our undergraduate days, and it was there that she first met her future husband. Mrs. Odlin has been the victim of an incurable malady for many years, but in recent months had grown rapidly worse. She was an unusually bright and attractive person, and in her younger days was the life of any party where she was. She had many warm friends among the members of our class, who greatly admired her courage and fortitude and her ability to keep cheerful in the trying condi- tions attending her own ill health and the loss of her beloved husband.

Perley R. Bugbee endured quite a long siege of illness during the first half of 1931, but is now restored to his former good health. During his absence from the Dartmouth National Bank, of which he is president, he secured the services of Dan Richardson '91, who chanced to be at leisure at his home in Concord at the time, and Richardson has continued in the bank since.

Senator Moses devoted his brief vacation from his exacting duties in Washington, during the holidays, to campaigning in his usual effective manner, for the election of John H. Bartlett '94, as successor to the late Fletcher Hale, as congressman from the First New Hampshire district. The Senator for once admitted that he was tired. His is certainly a strenuous life.
