Class of 1899
Word has just been received of the death of "Ted" (James Dwight) Child in Strasbourg, September 16. A fuller notice appears elsewhere in this issue.
"Peddy" (Herbert A.) Miller went on the air from Williamstown on Tuesday evening, August 27, to speak of his experiences in Russia during recent months.
"Booth Tarkington's favorite Frenchpoodle came from the kennels of Mrs.Frederick Sanborn on the Mountain Road,not far from Ossipee." So reads the NewHampshire Troubadour for September. It continues: "We've just come from the place,where we patted fourteen of the lovableanimals. The Sanborns, whose winter homeis in New York City, have pine-paneledrooms in their house that make the eyesof a lover of old wood glisten. And youshould see the old furniture. No wonderDr. and Mrs. Sanborn are planning to livepermanently in New Hampshire. Perhapswe should also have said at least one kindword for the champagne cider made on theplace."
Among recent visitors at the Sanborn home have been Joe Gannon, Willis Hodgkins, Mrs. Warren Kendall, and Mrs. Dave Parker.
Willis has been visiting with the Kendalls at Kennebunkport; and Joe and Mrs. Gannon's married daughter Genevieve and the granddaughter made a four weeks' visit with them in New York before returning to Burlingame, Calif., in mid-September.
The good news about Jim Richardson comes successively from the Mary Hitchcock Memorial Hospital, Dick's House, home on Choate Road, and the college classroom.
Entered upon this mundane scene and upon the '99 class reports as of August 22, 1935, Bill and Helen Atwood's granddaughter, Sandra Sherman. While Martha, the mother, was at the hospital, Helen was in Belfast, "keeping the apartment open lor Richard and the cat."
News from New Hampshire could be quite extensive, but space demands brevity. Young Louis Benezet, after counseling at a camp in Dummerston, Vt., owned by Miller 'OB, helped organize mountainclimbing trips with the directors of the Dartmouth Outing Club for sixteen freshmen. Whom should he find one of the biggest of the" freshmen to be but Bones Woodward's boy Robert!
Dave Parker's older daughter, Frances, has gone to Bronxville, N. Y., to teach art in the elementary grades of the public schools. She graduated from Mt. Holyoke last June with high honors in art. Mary, Dave's other daughter, did some verypromising work in dramatics this summer at the vacation school at Vassar.
Rab Abbott's daughter Mary has been teaching in a nursery school; John is with his father in the business; Bud graduated from high school a year ago and is now a sophomore at St. Anseim College.
Secretary, 31 Parker St., Gardner, Mass
