Class of 1906
Things have been happening lately in Bill Bell's family. On April 6, Bill became a grandfather, a son being born in Madison, Wis., to Mr. and Mrs. John E. Conway {Barbara Bell). And the following week Bill and Mrs. Bell announced the engagement of their younger daughter, Elizabeth, to Mr. W. Albert Rill of Syracuse, N. Y. Elizabeth is a senior at the Lesley School, Cambridge, Mass., and Mr. Rill is a senior at Harvard Law School, having previously been graduated from Yale.
The engagement has also recently been announced of Miss Margaret Oakes of Newton Highlands, Mass., to Jesse Horace Gove of Allston, Mass. Jesse, who is connected with the Merchants National Bank of Boston and who was educated at Northeastern University, is the son of Dana B. Gove, a member of our class during freshman year.
Business has taken Charlie Main to Danville, Va., where he expects to be located for the next two or three months—possibly until fall. He hopes to be able to break away for a few days to attend the reunion.

Everybody is now all set to attend the THIRTIETH on June la to 15. It looks as though it would be a banner year for 1906, with from 60 to 70 members of the class in attendance. With them will come, according to present promises, between 30 and 40 wives and over 30 children. Here's seeing you!
