Class of 1900
The 1900 out-door round-up, held on June 19, 20, and 21 at the Folansbee Inn on the shores of Lake Kezar at North Sutton, N. H„ is now ancient history, but, to keep the record clear, something should be said of it. The following were in attendance: Atwood, Arundel, Balkam, Barker, Bigelow, Brooks, Butterfield, Chesley, Corson, Cristy, Dolloff, Fairfield, A. P., Firth, Goodhue, Hodgkins, Jenkins, H. M., Jennings, Mahoney, Manion, Merry, Prescott, Rankin, Richardson, L. B„ Rogers, Sampson, Sanborn, Sears, F. D., Trull, Tuttle, D. D., Wallace, Woodman. Thirty-one attendants from the surviving members, now widely scattered, of a class never large, thirty-six years from graduation, is not a bad record. Golf, swimming (for the juvenile element, like Rogers and Cristy), walking (not very far), cards, talk (participated in by all), and eating (also general) made the time pass quickly and agreeably. Jennings and Hodgins came early, found that they had left behind the one indispensable item of a gentleman's luggage (golf clubs), and departed early to one of the numerous caches which they seem to have in New Fngland, where they have stored supplies for such emergencies. Contract was indulged in by Chelsea, Perry, the Baron, and Ben Prescott. Chelsea seems to be slipping in this sport for conversation could be carried on in the room the third door down with only occasional interruption from his outbursts. He is still efficient as a collector, however, being dazed only by Don Tuttle, who, apparently having read Mark Twain's story of the Million Pound Bank Note, appeared with a bill of something like those dimensions as his only asset, and who departed, happily, with his asset unbroken. Several ideas of considerable value were advanced by some members present, while others, including the Secretary, advanced ideas. A picture was taken which seems worth perpetuation. The Secretary, being green, does not know how one goes to work to get such pictures to appear in the Alumni Notes, so he just sends it along and trusts to luck. If it is not published, it is because the editor is tight-fisted and does not recognize features which would make his magazine bright and attractive. If he does, a word of explanation is necessary. Arthur Wallace took the picture, so he could not appear in it. The reason why numerous others of the men present are not to be seen is not what you think it is. The Secretary does not know what the reason was, but he can aver that it was not that.
Everyone will be glad to know that Charles Proctor, after an unpleasant period of ill health in the spring and early summer, is much recovered, so that eighteen holes of golf has again become his daily routine.
The news from Henry Teague is all good. The Mt. Kineo House has a prosperous appearance, with Henry, now in immaculate white, now in faultless evening dress, now in what that unveracious publicity agent, Don Tuttle, calls an admiral's uniform, plays to perfection the part of host. The much-to-be-pitied victims of the New Deal come to him in droves, he tells them what they can do and what they cannot do, and they like it and clamor to come again. The trains on the Mt. Washington Railroad make so many trips daily that their smoke has converted the mountain into something closely resembling Vesuvius. Gilbert Balkam's boy Gilbert is clerk at the Summit House, and John Warden's boy, John Douglas, is also working for Henry.
Harry Marshall writes that his new work includes the oversight of ninety Karen churches in Burma, and the superintendence of a high school of three hundred pupils.
A note from Whitefield, N. H., in one of the Boston papers reveals that Mr. and Mrs. Harry Sampson were tied with another couple for first prize in a special tournament at the Mountain View Golf Club, with a score of 88. Congratulations go to Harry that Mrs. Sampson is such an excellent golfer.
D. B. Rich's boy Harold was recently married to Barbara Palmer of New Haven, Conn. After two years in the Chicago retail store of the Denison Manufacturing Company, he has now been made manager of the store.
John Redington, connected with the United States Printing and Lithographing Company of New York, has been engaged for the last year in the production of an elaborate colored chart of American history, called "History on Parade."
Perry Fairfield's daughter Ruth received her master's degree from Columbia University in May. She has an excellent position in the kindergarten branch of the schools at Scarsdale, N. Y.
Announcement has recently been made of the engagement of Edward L. Richardson, son of the Secretary, to Miss Julia Foster of Beverly, Mass.
