Class of 1889

We have recent news of the three children of Ozora and Mrs. Davis. Elizabeth was married October 8, 1932, to David Burford of New York city. Alexander received his medical degree last June and is spending this year at Johns Hopkins on a research scholarship. Wilfred is a first-year student in the Chicago Theological Seminary and is living with his mother at the old home on Blackstone Ave. All three are graduates of Chicago University.

Fred Smith, because of impaired health, has been obliged to resign his position as deputy superintendent of public instruction in South Dakota. He has left Pierre and is now living in Dutton, Mont. It is interesting to note that three of our class live in the big state of Montana. Warden has been there 44 years, "Fush" Hazen 36 years, and now Smith has joined them. Our classmates live in 15 states, but only three of them contain more than three '89ers. In Massachusetts are eleven, in New Hampshire nine, and in New York seven.

O. S. Warden, chairman State Highway Commission, Montana, attended the eighteenth annual convention of the American Association of State Highway Officials held in Washington last November. Evidently the members of the Association went in a body to Mt. Vernon on November 15, when the Mt. Vernon Memorial Highway, constructed as a part of the celebration of the two hundredth anniversary of the birth of George Washington, was formally dedicated. The January issue of AmericanHighways, a quarterly published by the Association, contains an article by Warden entitled "Road Planning as Carried Forward by the State Highway Departments." The author has sketched in a clear, concise way the "organized road story of America," which begins with the formation of the Association, in December, 1914—less than 20 years ago—although there had been a few isolated attempts to establish state highway departments during the preceding 20 years.

The Secretary heard, a few weeks ago, that Warden was present at an economic conference of the intermountain states at Colorado Springs. Also, that the newspapers in Great Falls continue to be published with unfailing regularity. And, finally, but not the least important, is the word that there are now five Warden grandchildren. *
