Class of 1899
Fuller details are now available about the wedding of Warren Kendall's daughter, Roberta and Rolfe Mason Kennedy of West Hartford, Conn. The ceremony was performed in the Chevy Chase Presbyterian church by Rev. Daniel R. Kennedy of Suffield, Conn., father of the bridegroom, assisted by Dr. J. Hillman Hollister, minister of the Chevy Chase church. Mrs. Guy E. Beardsly Jr. of Hartford, Conn., sister of the bridegroom, was matron of honor, and the brother of the bride, William H. Kendall of Wellsville, Ohio, was best man. Gordon Kendall, the other brother of the bride, was one of the ushers. The reception was held at Warren and Mrs. Kendall's home in Chevy Chase, where also, the night before, out-of-town guests were entertained at a bridge party. Mr. and Mrs. Kennedy have been at their new home on Bonny View Road, West Hartford, since January 1.
Nor is the above the only wedding news in '99 circles, for Bill and Mrs. Hutchinson of Cecil, Pa., have seen one of their young people leave the family fireside also. On October 6, 1934, their son, William Loveland Hutchinson Jr., married Miss Helen Buckwalter, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Boyd Buckwalter of Scranton. This ceremony was performed in Jones Memorial chapel, Elm Park church, Scranton, with Rev. Henry H. Crane, pastor, officiating. The brother of the bride, Roland Buckwalter, was best man, and the sister of the bridegroom, Miss Aileen Hutchinson, was maid of honor. Both the bride and her husband were graduated from Pennsylvania State College in 1931. After a motor-trip honeymoon, the young people returned to Scranton to make their new home.
Another pairing off—not matrimonialin '99 circles occurred on December 17 when Tim Lynch left his afternoon duties at the Woodrow Wilson Intermediate School in Dorchester to act as one of the judges in the Boston University debate with the Springfield Y. M. C. A. College The "pairing" effect was produced by the fact that K. Beal's youngest son, George, is manager of the B. U. debating team, and except for Tim's co-operative spirit might have had to leave the debate unjudged. No, there is no significance to the fact that B. U. won.
This next item of news may be regarded as mildly precautionary in nature. Try not to get into trouble in Worcester county, Mass., at present, for the '99 secretary has been at last duly inducted into office as the district attorney of this particular county.
George H. Evans, librarian of the Somerville (Mass.) Public Library, is the author of a monograph entitled "The Burning of the Mount Benedict Ursuline Community House," recently published by the Somerville Public Library as one of a series of Somerville historical monographs. The event which is thus recalled occurred one hundred years ago, August 11, 1834, and for nearly that length of time has been a subject of sharp controversy. George handles it with great skill from every angle, and paints a clear picture of a tragedy which resulted from misdirected propaganda. There are three appendices and an extensive bibliography.
To no one of our classmates at present do we owe more than to Montie Fuller in the way of a friendly, steady, uniting influence. His messages of cheer and uplift sent as the spirit moves him to one and another of the fellows are like rays of sunshine in these days that seem often to be unduly darkened by the prolonged period of economic uncertainty.
Secretary, 31 Parker St., Gardner, Mass.
