1888*

Bodwell, E. After 18 years as principal of high schools and 30 years as superintendent of schools, he is still able to pen an interesting note to the class secretary with his typewriter. Make a note of his address—3921 Walnut St., Oakland, Calif. He said not a word about his current capacity in throwing the hammer, but duty compels me to record that his success in his chosen profession has been noteworthy.

Clark, John Lew, and Mrs. Clark send season's greetings with a poem, the first line of which is "Lord, give our hearts their youth at Christmastide." John Lew's heart is still strong and in the right place.

Dunlap, Fred T. and wife—Fred's Christmas card comes from Daytona Beach. The impression is, even without the help of Sherlock Holmes, that the Dunlaps are spending the winter in Florida, thus confirming the wisdom of a suggestion made two years ago that we have our next class reunion in Florida, where most of our men seem to hibernate.

Ely, Richard S— Dick expresses with his Christmas greetings the hope that the year 1939 will be a good year for living. Wish he could have said "expect." Nelson, Sam B— Sam's Christmas note carried a suggestion that '88 institute a progeny contest, limited at present to grandchildren. He asks the Secretary to record his score on Dec. 25, 1938, as eighteen. Any one with a higher score should report to this office.

Pattee, Fred Lewis—has been notified that any New Year's message which the President (that's Pattee) has for the class will be duplicated by some cheap process and mailed to all our men. May it be a soothing "fireside chat!" Watch your mail.

Secretary, 11 Oak St., Belmont, Mass.
