Class of 1911
At a recent meeting of the Phi Beta Kappa Society at Dartmouth, Bob Barstow was elected to full standing in the society as a graduate member.
Aubrey Butler, florist, has become college lecturer. He addressed the class in botany at Dartmouth on the subject of growing roses and gardenias. The lecture was accompanied by moving pictures which Aubrey has taken in his greenhouses. These pictures portray everything from the preparation of the soil and the raising of the plants to their delivery to the Smith College graduates. This gave Aubrey and Lou an excuse for making a visit to Hanover and introducing their son Parker to the place, preparatory to his entrance to college next fall.

Judge Theriault, if you please! This is the result of Tate's recent appointment by Governor Wilson as judge of the Montpelier City Court.
I expect Mrs. Ted Stafford has received a larger share of publicity than any other 1911 wife. Her latest has had to do with her trip last summer to Cape York in northern Greenland, where she took her two sons to dedicate a memorial erected in memory of her father, Admiral Peary. She recently spoke over the radio in Boston, telling about her trip and recalling some of the experiences of an earlier trip to the Arctic with her father. This was followed by a special feature story in the SundayHerald.
