Mrs. John C. Gray has been visiting her son Harry '07 at Katonah, N. Y., but is to make her home with her daughter at 16 Wellington St., Springfield, Mass.

Mrs. Charles S. Caverly and Mrs. Walter H. Small, who have done their best to fin their husbands' places at recent class reunions, promise to grace our 60th with their presence. We hope their good example will encourage more of our girl friends to join our parade.

Mrs. J. B. Gerould has been visiting and touring in California, but expected to return home to North Attleboro, Mass about this time.

Geo. I. Harvey has again shifted his residence to 1179 Lyons St. That he moves about so briskly in Carthage, Mo., lends hope that such mobility may extend as far as Hanover next June.

One of Hayt's letters received many moons ago anticipated the Boston Herald's citation of President Hopkins for high political honors; so when the bandwagon gets up speed, Hayt will have a seat up in front.

Telle Smith called on Parkhurst on his way to Maine, just after warning Parkinson by phone that he was coming back soon and would hail again. But no return has been heralded, and there is fear lest Telle may have got bogged in that unhappy state where casualties are high among visiting hunters; potato growers are trying (and sadly need) to learn improved merchandizing methods; and Passamaquoddy is falling down like London Bridge. But doubtless Telle will reappear. He is strong on reappearances.

Parkinson sat in at the Council meeting in Boston, and at the luncheon was glad to find himself sitting opposite Fletcher Andrews ('16), son of our Addison. And now comes Harlow with a newspaper cut of Cleveland society dignitaries at the opening of Metropolitan Grand Opera, with Mr. and Mrs. Andrews as central figures.

Harlow reports a visit from his daughter Dorothy (one of the two who accompanied him to our 50th) and her husband and daughter, returning his summer-long visit at their home in Chatham, Mass.

Bouton reports his great-grandson as still on the danger list.

Secretary, 321 Highland Ave., Fitchburg, Mass.
