Class of 1900
Henry Teague had a splendid year at Mount Washington. At the time of writing he has only been in Hanover for one of the games. Nat Barrows had a little setback early in the summer, which was a warning that he must lead a less strenuous life than he has in the past. We are all getting pretty well convinced of the fact that we are not as young as "we used to was." Charlie Proctor is the head of the new Outing Club, a well-deserved honor, for he has been the leader in winter sports both at Hanover and in the country at large for many a year. The College is most fortunate to have him at the head of this very important committee.
Ben Prescott has a weird tale about a friend of his who ran his car up what is called Crazy Hill, located in New Brunswick or Nova Scotia. When he came to go down the other side, Ben states that his car stopped and then went backward. The explanation Ben gives is the presence of very powerful magnetic mines, which make it impossible for a car to make headway against their force. You can either decide that Ben is a candidate for Charlie Dolloff's Hospital or else someone has been handing him out some pretty weird stories. Ben has attended all the Hanover football games, and his friends around here are beginning to wonder just what is the matter with him.
Regular visitors to Hanover this fall have been Jim Woodman and Ben Prescott, with Hen Teague, Dana Sears, Clarence McDavitt, and Lem Hodgkins present at one or two contests. Jim is getting a real kick out of having his son in College. Mac is, of course, busy as can be with the Athletic Council affairs and hasn't a spare moment while he is in Hanover.
Almost every mail brings a letter from Harry Hutchins, who objects to our addressing him at Main St., Lancaster. He persists in stating that his address is "Black Acre," R. F. D. 1. This doesn't sound to us dignified or hospitable. Harry has been reading quite a lot about Buchmanism and is already an authority on that subject.
L. B. Richardson is working strenuously on the biography of a former New Hampshire statesman. As we previously reported, he spent the summer in Washington going over the material, and he won't be happy until the work is completed. We anticipate a product that will be a delight to all who know L. B. or have any previous knowledge of his subject.
The annual class dinner will be held at the Hotel Bradford in Boston the night before the Harvard game. We could almost report accurately the number who will attend, because that varies so little from year to year. We will not give an account here of the speeches or of the subjects which will be actively discussed. A 1900 dinner is a 1900 dinner, never lacking in interest or failing to give a thrill which lasts until the outdoor round-up in June.
Here's some real news for you. Arthur Wallace has moved to Boston and has his office at 465 Park Drive, telephone, Kenmore 0772. We supposed that Nashua would be Arthur's address for the rest of his life. Well, we will see a lot more of him now that he is in Boston, and we certainly wish him a most prosperous career in the great city.
