CLASS OF 1900

Paul R. Atherton has just announced the marriage of his daughter, Ruth Kingsley, to Mr. Dickerson B. Tyler. The wedding took place at Miami on March the ninth.

Clarence McDavitt has been appointed by President Hopkins to a committee which w-ill consider very carefully the method of allotting tickets for athletic events. The chairman is E. K. Hall, and Charles Proctor is also on the committee, representing the faculty, so 1900 has two representatives on this most important bit of work. Mac has been in Hanover for several conferences. His long experience with athletic affairs, both while he was in College and later as a member of the Athletic Council, qualifies him above almost any one else for this most important position.

The newspapers every day contain pictures and interviews with Robert Jackson, the executive secretary of the Franklin Roosevelt campaign. The success of the Democratic ticket in New Hampshire under Bob's leadership is one of the first triumphs to be scored. Bob is certainly active and especially well equipped for this most important job.

L. B. Richardson is enjoying a sabbatical year, which we suppose he is spending in literary research. Hanover must miss him very keenly, for he is one of the most important members of the faculty in administrative work.

The Secretary was in Hanover when the news came of the sudden death of Frank Musgrove. Almost every member of 1900 knew Frank Musgrove. We extend to the class of '99 and to his family our deepest sympathy for his loss. We are also sorry indeed to learn of the serious illness of Pitt Drew and Neal Hoskins.

News from Plymouth indicates that the Davis family is in fine shape. The Judge's oldest daughter, Mary, is doing some very interesting work for the Telephone Company. John has an active job, while Bob is a sophomore in College. The Judge's health has materially improved, and we suppose that this summer he will devote the proper amount of time to the game of golf.

Len Tuttle reports that 1900 has been very active in New York city, first the regular meeting of the members of the class, then a special reception to Ben Prescott and Dan Arundel, who had returned from Mexico and Cuba. Our correspondent, Len Tuttle, states that in every case he left on the 10:15 train because of living in the suburbs. Since the most interesting events occurred after that time, our report seems meagre. The class gathering was rudely interrupted by an alumnus who insisted on making a long exposition of the principle that a pun may not ;per se be the lowest form of wit. We cannot divulge the class to which this imitator of Congress belongs. All we can do is to schedule our reunion next year when his class has one of its own.

There is no long report of the Judge Prescott-Arundel trip. That can only be made by the Judge in his own langauge. We cannot subject him to the limitations of the printed space and written word. Neither can we include in this note the news item which appeared in the Milford Cabinet. It is full of such things as bull fights, races, and the questionable recreations afforded in recreational centers like Mexico City and Havana. We had better stop right here and leave the rest to the Judge.

Ray Firth's new address is the Masonic Home, Beach St., Manchester, N. H. We are certainly glad to see Ray in such a splendid home where he will have every comfort and convenience. When going through Manchester be sure to see him.

Mr. F. E. Atwood, who is known to some members of the class, has now embarked on a coin business. Needless to say, it was purchased at a receiver's sale. Chelsea estimates that the number of suckers possible to get in this game is very nearly equal to the stamp fiends on whom he has preyed for so many years. You will be interested to know that Chelsea is serving his last term as president of the West Roxbury Men's Club. In order to keep up her end of the family's activities Mrs. Atwood is going to Seattle to attend the general meeting of the Federation of Women's Clubs.

Secretary, Room 903, 10 State St., Boston
