Class of 1900

The record for this month is a bit scant, with spectacular events and doings in the class, upon which the Secretary has learned to rely, not so abundant as usual. However:—

The younger generation shows some activity. Gilbert Balkam is a grandfather again. Barbara Ann, daughter of his son Stephen, was born on August 13. Gil's youngest boy, Bob, was so unfortunate as to break a leg this summer; while Gil himself is flourishing around in a way unbecoming to an elderly grandfather as secretary of his local Kiwanis Club, director of the Men's Club in his church, and, when he has time, as a banker.

Harry Marshall announces the marriage of his oldest son, John, to Miss Nancy Brown at Columbus, Ohio, on August 15.

Dana Sears is renewing his youth. Councilor this summer at North Woods Camp on Lake Winnepesaukee, he played baseball on the same field where he played forty years ago, and, it may be judged, equally well. Few other big leaguers have lasted so long as Dana.

John Moody is now living at Redding, Me., and has a warm welcome for all 1900 men who pass through that place.

Mrs. Walter Rankin is well over an operation for appendicitis which she was compelled to undergo this summer.

Walter Blair's daughter, Betty, is secretary to the executive secretary of Wellesley College.

Summer callers at the home of the Secretary were Charles Rogers from his summer home in Washington, N. H., looking as fit as in the days when he was the best football center in New Hampshire, if not the world; and Harry Hutchins, who emerged from his lair in Lancaster, with his usual fund of stimulating conversation.

The sympathy of the class goes out to Atwood, whose mother died early in September at Chelsea, Vt., at the age of ninety.
