Class of 1900

The teaching members of the class seem to be having all the privileges during these days of depression. L. B. Richardson spent almost a year in Europe, and now we learn that Arthur Roberts spent last winter in Paris, the Riviera, Italy, and England. Arthur reports that if he had his own way he would divide his time equally between Paris and England except during the summer months.

Ben Prescott has certainly been both unlucky and lucky. While driving from Lowell to Andover, Ben's car skidded on the wet pavement just a few hundred feet from where Herbie Trull lives in North Tewksbury. He hit a large rock by the side of the road and the car rolled completely over. All the glass was smashed and the body of the car practically wrecked. Mrs. Prescott had a very badly strained neck. Ben had a slight cut on his wrist and a bad muscle bruise on his thigh, but both escaped serious injury. Ben feels that the good Lord was certainly with him.

John Moody seems quite happy at Dead River, Me., where he is conducting a camp. Of course he did not have a very good year in 1932, but still it was not so bad. John's car took a tail spin and broke some of his ribs, but there was no serious aftermath. This makes the second automobile accident to men of 1900 within a short time.

Roger Dunlap is very active in the North Country town of Lancaster. In six years his church has had a gain of 28 per cent in total membership and 59 per cent in male membership. Roger is head of the DeMolays, organist of the Masonic Blue Lodge, orator of the Lodge of Perfection, grand prelate of the Knights of Pythias, and member for Lancaster of the Boy Scout Daniel Webster Council. He is also secretary of the Kiwanis Club. That certainly is enough to keep any one very busy. In addition he is studying advanced harmony and the theory of music. His elder daughter, Esther, Mrs. Philip Gould, is living in Maiden. Her husband is assistant manager of the Tremont St. Kresge Store in Boston. They have two little boys. His other daughter, Catharine, is a senior at New Hampshire University and is engaged to Paul Blaisdell of Concord, N. H.

Fred Jennings has just been elected president of the Everett Trust Company. Fred is very active in the civic life of Everett and is a most valuable citizen. In addition he finds a great deal of time for Masonic activities. Of course in the summer time he has to devote a little of his leisure to golf, in which we must admit he really excels.

Pete Fletcher, as you know, spent a year doing graduate work in education at Boston University. This gave him a degree of Ed.M., which he can now attach to his name. Pete's activities are many. He is on the board of directors of the local Kiwanis Club and chairman of the program committee. He also plays second tenor in their male quartette. He is president of the Oshkosh Civic Male Chorus of 45 voices, as well as publicity chairman of this organization and of the Community Chorus. In his leisure time he sings, plays volley ball, and toys with jig-saw puzzles. Of course Pete's real enjoyment is connected with his camp at Stinson Lake, N. H. He has two cottages on an abandoned farm of some forty acres. The camp is situated at the south end of a mountain lake with an elevation of 1,330 feet. So Pete leads a pretty interesting and complete life and certainly one of great usefulness. *
