Class of 1904

Another birthday! Never mind—l know which one it is, but I'm still here and thankful for that, and for many other things both on and off the record. I beat Abraham Lincoln by 24 hours, but that's the only event I won Chick Weston favored me recently with a letter of truths which I hope may have a real value in our coming National Campaign. I would enjoy printing it here with my approval but for the fact that these columns are too valuable to be Uttered up with political rumblings. ....

Delbert L. "Buddy" Jackson Jr. is nursing a cracked leg which he acquired in a two day school excursion to Laconia about the middle of January. Buddy was here over New Year's, skiing well at that time on two good legs Harry Boit Morse, you know, the chap who balanced the Common's piano on his toe at a reunion, has been temporarily lost, but is now reported as living at Victorville, California. Sounds like he had conquered the west and now lives in the big house on the hill. I was right with him in a Tufts game freshman year when Harry made a touchdown, and, at the same time, a Tufts' head flattened the Morse nose like an elephant stepping on an apple, only the juice was red and the conversation redder Boston members of the class were rounded up recently by the cry "The Bull's loose again," and sure enough, MAJOR Rosie Hinman was roped and fed by Carl, Squid, Ike, Robbie, Sex, Pen, Babe, and Hay; a good time which disclosed the welcome news that Rosie hopes to be located in New England before long This note from a recent hotel paper, "I'll be seeing you at theSportsman's Show—Gil Moulton is goingto do a little fly-casting there."

The MAGAZINE makes its usual midwinter offer to interest new subscribers, sending the March, April, May and June numbers for $1.00. Some of you may wanto send a few subscriptions to non-subscribing members of the class.

There is, in the making, an item of news that will be of more than ordinary interest to the class. I hope it may be ripe for the next number.

GRANDFATHER'S COLUMN

Here's happy news from the Woodbridge family.

M. and Mme. Jeanneney, with their young son, Jean Roger, of Paris, France, are visiting Mme. Jeanneney's parents, Mr. and Mrs. C. K. Woodbridge at Washington Square, New York City.

M. Jeanneney is in America attending the 100% Club Convention of the International Business Machines Corporation, of whose French company he is Assistant Manager.

The Jeanneneys will return to Paris at the conclusion of this business trip.

Mr. and Mrs. Charles Irving Lampee of Winchester have announced the engagement of their daughter, Miss Carolyn Lampee, to Nathan William Hawkes Jr., son of Nathan W. Hawkes of Belmont, and the late Mrs. Hawkes.

Miss Lampee was graduated from St. Margaret's School in Waterbury, Conn., and attended Hollins College in Virginia.

Mr. Hawkes prepared at Phillips Exeter Academy and was graduated from Dartmouth College in 1932, where he was a member of Delta Kappa Epsilon and the Sphinx Society. He is associated with the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad in Atlanta, Ga.

Reading between the lines, it looks as if Dragon and Sphinx has buried the hatchet.
