Class of 1909

Sam Bell sent in a contribution to the class treasury, to help overcome the deficit, and says that he will be at his new place in Osterville all winter.

Dickie Lord bounced in, full of zip and energy and enjoyment of his survey work for the Whiting Milk Cos., to express best wishes for the coming year to the members of the class as a whole, with pleasant reference to me. He reports that Phyllis is running the Wagon Wheel with continued pleasure and success, with Jerry leading the orchestra.

Bob and Marj Burns held open house Christmas and New Year's. Their Christmas party was well attended, but, due to the severe storm, there were only about thirty or forty there when I dropped in on New Year's. However, I was able to stay only a short while and probably missed as many more. I think Bob mixed the best eggnog that I tasted during the whole period.

The Worthens entertained thirty or more New Year's Eve. Tommy and Palmer Worthen are really good junior skiers, while Joe himself stays vertical on skis most successfully.

Reggie Bankart has been confined to his home in Newt.onville for some weeks, and probably will not be back at work before the first of February. Reggie has been overworking for years with resultant difficulties, but is recuperating rapidly.

Eddie Stone came home to Winchester during the Christmas holidays and evidently enjoys life at Hanover. Eddie shows no promise of development as a poker player (in fact we cannot find that he plays at all), but is a good man outdoors and on the water. Bob and Dorothy have been regular Hanover commuters.

Harriet took the twins into Filene's for luncheon during Christmas week. Harry Floyd was casting an eagle eye over the restaurant at the time, and, with his usual kindliness, took the twins all over the "Salad Bowl," etc., with the result that they have been talking about it ever since. It takes a good man to sell himself to sevenyear-olds at their first meeting, Salad Bowl or no Salad Bowl.
