Class of 1899
The front page of the December 30, 1933, Plymouth (N. H.) Record carries a picture of Guy Speare and a display story of his life history and accomplishments. This is one of a series of stories of the notables of that section of the state.
In Arlington (Mass.) town hall recently there was a very successful rendering of the "Messiah." The chorus of fifty voices, assisted by Boston Symphony artists, was organized by Mrs. Ed Allen.
Hear ye! The new title of K. Asakawa in Yale's history department is "Research Associate." He has published various articles of late in periodicals in England, France, and Czechoslovakia, as well as collaborating with the editors of the Annales d'HistoireEconomique at Sociale. But you would never dig this information out of him personally.
Changes in business and profession are commonplace matters these days, and Ninety-Nine naturally has its share. Theodore Chase has now at 12 Main St. in his own Hanover an office as counselor in life insurance and annuities. Bill Wiggin has moved to Exeter, where he has his son-in-law as an associate in business. Teaching is also a thing of the past with Albert Tootell. Toot is studying in Minnesota Chiropractic College in Minneapolis. Many will remember that he had one year in Dartmouth Medical College.
Dan and Amy Ford have moved from Des Moines back to Sarasota, Fla. They may make the South their permanent residence. It is reported that Rodney and Margaret Sanborn are or have been vacationing in Miami.
A year or so ago Bob Rowe acquired a farm in New Hampshire. His purpose in so doing now appears. For more than thirty years Robbie has faithfully served his Uncle Sam, but last summer he went on the retired list. The family are still living in Portsmouth, but the farm is beckoning.
All along the firing line the young people of the class push forward to take their places. Recent news includes the following: Arthur Sewall is in the third year of his pre-medical course at the University of Pennsylvania; Gratia Wardle is teaching in Westbrook Junior College at Portland, Me.; Robert Winchester is now, like his father, in the maintenance department of the New York Central; Elmer Woodman is in the United States Hydraulic Laboratory at Vicksburg, Miss. Elmer is in charge of some of the work connected with measuring the flow of the Mississippi river. He was married on November 11, 1933, to Miss White of Rolla. And be sure you did not overlook the quotation from Howie Sargeant's Oxford letter under the MAGAZINE notes from 1933 on page 61 of the Januar) issue.
