CLASS OF 1900
George Boyd has just been made treasurer of the Worcester Bleach and Dye Works. Located only a few minutes ride from West Boylston, George is able to stay at home and carry on his new duties. By the way, the Captain is feeling very fit after quite a long vacation. He has lost considerable weight, but has gained in strength and feels just ready to tackle a hard job during these very difficult times.
Clarence McDavitt has just been made a member of a very important committee appointed by the mayor of the city of Boston to raise $3,000,000 for unemployment relief. It is a very distinguished list of men with whom Mac is associated, and we all know that he will do a splendid job.
The Secretary has just received a report from Paul Redington as chief of the Bureau of Biological Survey. If you want to know anything about the life of birds and animals and what is being done for their preservation, this report will tell you. It certainly is very interesting work, and we know how well Paul is doing.
Homer Keyes is in the finest of health after spending the summer in Europe with Mrs. Keyes. He is enjoying his work even under the strain of present-day conditions. Mrs. Keyes makes frequent trips to Hanover, but Homer does not get there as frequently.
Doc Morse's new address in Boston is 311 Allston St., Brighton. The old anaesthetist has not been in the best of health during the spring and summer, but is now feeling much better, and is resuming his old work with vigor and enthusiasm.
You may have seen the announcement of the appointment of Howland Sargeant as a Rhodes student at Oxford. Perhaps you do not know that he is the son of Mott Sargeant of the class of '99. He is a very brilliant scholar and a fine representative American student to send to England.
The Board of Education of the city of Nashua recently paid a very fine tribute to Doctor Arthur L. Wallace, who has just completed twenty-three years of continuous service as a member of the Board. At a meeting held at the City Hall, he was presented with a pen a nd pencil set by Judge Frank B. Clancy, chaii-man of the Board. Judge Clancy paid tribute to the faithful service which Arthur has rendered and especially for the remarkable strides that have been made in the Health Department of the schools, of which Doctor Wallace was chairman. Arthur replied with a brief resume of the changes which have been instituted during his long period of service.
Robert Jackson has been selected as candidate for secretary of the national forces of the Democratic party who are backing Franklin Roosevelt for President. Undoubtedly Robert will be elected without any opposition. He will succeed the late Charles Greathouse of Indiana. It looks as if this were a very responsible position, and Robert will be a very busy man up to the time of the convention, which will be held in Chicago. We congratulate our classmate on his prominence in Democratic circles.
Secretary, Room 903, 10 State St., Boston
