Class of 1886

A note from Karl gives the good news that, in spite of some chronic "puffs and huffs," he faces March in fairly good health. Mrs. Jenks wrote that she was to be home the first of March after a visit of three months to her sister in California and to her daughter and four grandchildren in Mt. Carmel, Calif. She said: "Ihave tnuch to keep me busy in doing whatis possible to contitiue and to fortify mydear husband's work. He seems very closeto me in thought at all times." And to some of the rest of us in '86, we gratefully say.

In December last, Rochester, N. H., celebrated the 25th anniversary of the local Visiting Nurses' Association, which was founded by the Rochester Women's Club of which Mrs. Snow was then president. She has also been active in the Nurses' Association for the whole 25 years, as vice president for the first 15 years and as president for the last 10 years. In addition to the present work of two full-time nurses, the Association has helped to establish a full-time school nurse, baby clinics, clinics for children of pre-school age, T. B. clinics, and immunization for diphtheria and whooping cough. Good seed was sowed in good ground 25 years ago, and we are glad to learn that Mrs. Snow has taken a winter rest trip to Bermuda.

It is reported that Newton and Burley were the only men from '86 who attended the annual Dartmouth dinner in Boston, and there were no men from '84, '85, '87, or '88.

Newton has been well this winter, but misses the contacts he has previously had with members of the University Club in Winter Park, Fla.

The Secretary ought to keep track of the birthdays of all '86 men, but he is not systematic. Information has, however, been thrust upon him that Pete was 77 January 10, Newton 75, February so, and he himself 77, February 28. Perhaps, Pete, if we work together we can henceforth boss our young president. Still, on the basis of age, at least Rose, Wood, and Wizzie are older than we are, and may decide in turn to boss us. I suggest that each of us who are at least 77, write a limerick with the first two lines something like these;

I'm told there's luck in number sevenEleven times more luck in seventy-seven.
