Victoria Cornish and George Merriam, February 6, 1937, at Everett, Massachusetts.
Congratulations to them all.
Walter Lillard is chairman of the executive committee of the International Schoolboy Fellowship. Walter Nourse has recently been appointed principal of the Edison Junior High School of Los Angeles.
The latest Class Granddaddies are Karl Oliver, whose grandson, Karl W. Oliver, was born July 20, 1938; and Solon Cornish, who also has a grandson, Victor G. Merriam, born September 6, 1939.
In October, Cornish attended a medical conference in New York City. He visited the World's Fair for a day or two, then continued on to Baltimore to see the Navy game. Percy Noel returned to France last summer. His present address is 8 Place Jean-Baptiste Clement, Paris, France. He is undoubtedly there in connection with his work in journalism.
TUGK INN, for lodging and breakfast, was opened by the John Tucks in August, at Auburn, Massachusetts, just a few miles south of Worcester. Those who enjoyed their hospitality at the outing in October a year ago can appreciate the advantages that this spacious home provides with its magnificent view of the surrounding countryside.
The best of success to them in this new venture.
In driving this golden spike John has welded the last link in the chain of '05 H—l—T—S (Hotels—lnns—Taverns-System) under the personal supervision of our own. We now have complete Harlem to Hanover facilities where the itinerant may slumber in safety on the bosom of the brotherhood.
Start from the Metropolis with the repose and refreshment offered by Bill Knibbs' Dartmouth Club of New York,- club in name but hotel in fact. Midway, make the pause that refreshes at John's, where he dispenses Tuck's white lightning from his faradic farm at a quart. Thence on to Lyme,—just beyond the campus,—where Bob Merriam stands ready to overcome your travel fatigue.
Patronize your pals!
As other units are added, you will be notified.

Another Class Outing was held October twelfth at the invitation of Bill and Mrs. Clough, at their home in New London, New Hampshire. The attendance was rather under average owing to shorter notice than usual. Previous plans had been made by many who otherwise would have been delighted to join the group. Those present were the Ashworths, Greenleafs, Hills, and Walter May. A luncheon was given by the genial hosts at the Twin Lake Villa on Lake Sunapee. The high spot of the afternoon was making the acquaintance of William P. Clough III, who stole the show.
Fifteen attended the Class Dinner, October twenty-seventh; namely, Brooks, Chamberlin, Clough, Donnelly, Emery, Harding, Hatch, Keady, Laing, Lillard, MacMillan, Proctor, Reeve, Reid, and Vaughan.
It was a real pleasure to have Vaughan and Laing with us, and to get from Jim some first hand information concerning the team, which he had seen practise earlier in the week; and from Laing some interesting facts regarding the Union trouble and situation on the west coast.
John was in Washington and New York on business the preceding two weeks, and took time out to come to Boston for the dinner and the game.
While at Hanover, Jim was invited by Coach Blaik to meet the team to whom he was introduced as one of the original team that dedicated the Stadium in 1903.
Reunion plans for next year were discussed at the dinner, and it was the unanimous opinion that the outing at that time should be held near Hanover rather than at any distance away. Later details of this event will be forthcoming during the winter.
