1900*

The death of Chesley, recorded in another column, takes from us one of our quieter and less assertive members, who, for thirty-five years, had carried on faith-fully and well a medical practice in a single locality. The high service which such a man renders to the community of which he is a part can never be properly valued.

UNDEREMPHASIS ON FOOTBALL

The annual fall dinner of the Class was held at the Algonquin Club, Boston, on the evening of October 27. Twenty-one were in attendance, as follows: Atwood, Balkam, Butterfield, Fairfield, H. S., Hadlock, Hodgkins, Howe, Jenkins, H. M., Jennings, McDavitt, Paddock, Prescott, Rankin, Richardson, L. 8., Sampson, Sanborn, Sears, F. D., Teague, Tirrell, Wallace, Wentworth. The dinner was good, the conversation better. President Rankin presided with his usual urbanity; Wallace read a letter from Harry Marshall giving some account of the latter's recent work in Burma; Harry Jenkins made a startling announcement which will be heard from later; Cut Tirrell told of recent developments coming from the war situation in Canada; while Clarence McDavitt gave some account of his recent experiences in Geneva. The Secretary made the surprising announcement that 1900 would hold its fortieth reunion next Commencement. When the festivities were all over, someone made the observation that, on the eve of the Harvard game, no one had mentioned that contest nor made any other reference to football. That indicates—well, what does it indicate? You can make your own diagnosis.

Changes of address to be noted. Robert Jackson is now to be reached at Room 3811, 40 Wall St., New York. Victor Salinger records himself as in charge of all Monahan and Murphy, and Dan Murphy mining properties, 1929 Fletcher Ave., South Pasadena, Cal. E. J. Jonakowski has shaken off the dust of more than sixty Brooklyn years from his shoes and is now at 8 Brookwood Ave., Baldwin, N. Y. Joe Manion has not moved so far, changing his address in Arlington, Mass., to 57 Adams St.

There seems to be something of an exodus to Florida this winter. John Warden is at 1475 13th St., St. Petersburg: Dana Sears is to be reached at Anna Maria (an astonishingly feminine place for Dana to visit); while Perry Fairfield is at Miami. Harry Hutchins will have none of this; the north-wind and granite of New Hampshire are good enough for him and so, for the first time in a number of years, he plans to remain at Blackacre, Lancaster, N. H., for the winter.

With a dignity befitting his new status Harry Fairfield announces: (1) Born in Los Angeles, Cal., on June 17, 1939, a son, William Dunbar, to Mr. and Mrs. Wallace Morton Fairfield. (2) Born in Los Angeles, Cal., on August 37, 1939, a son, David March, to Mr. and Mrs. Donald Stanley Fairfield.

Grew Up with Motors

Notice has been received of a complimentary luncheon at the Roosevelt Hotel, New York, on November 15, tendered by the Automobile Merchants Association of New York to Arthur Newton on the occasion of his fortieth anniversary in the automobile retail trade. It is doubtful if anyone else has been in the business so long and so continuously, certainly none has been more generally efficient and respected. His classmates join with his other friends in congratulations upon this occasion.

Betty Blair, Walter's daughter, is now an executive with the Camp Fire Girls organization at Worcester, Mass.

The Secretary has just returned from, the fall meeting of the Alumni Council in New York, where he was required to- use his powers of protest but once. This was when the President of the Council, Warren Kendall, '99, made reference to. the "Class of '99 Outing Club House." A menacing growl from the Secretary brought him to order. To do Warren justice, it is probable that his expression was inadvertent, but still it is well to be on the guard against the grabbing tendencies of these '99 fellows.

And now please turn back and read again the surprise announcement of the Secretary at the fall dinner of the class.

Secretary, Hanover, N. H.

Treasurer, 212 Mill Street, Newtonville, Mass.
