1903*

If silence lends consent, then the class subscription plan for ALUMNI MAGAZINE is working to the satisfaction of 1903. Only one comment has been handed me to date in answer to my last month's request for comment, and that one implies artistry in the efforts of our treasurer, Harold Hess. Here it is, Harold, and the more power to you. "The gang ought to support the class orchestra,—and I think they will." Page Jim Cresswell and start a swing.

Last winter Bolz French threatened to reform. He went to Bermuda and spent a month or more in learning the art of quiescency. He became so adept that this winter he had "a call," as Charlie Hall might say, to return and add to his proficiency, and hence the card from Bolz: "Just to let you know that I meant what I wrote in my class letter. Just completing a month's stay. Like as well as ever and shall hope for many returns."

The presence of Arthur Smith, "Fat," by way of designation, at the Boston dinner brought to mind the fact that there are in our class three of a kind—best story tellers. Take "Fat" with his yarns of football games back of those days when Bill Cunningham imagines the birth of a real football team, and "Doc" Linnell with his fishing yarns, and Bob Davis, who can tell anything from a Vermont tale to a Spanish war story and you have enough side-aches to last an entire evening. Bring on Ned Kenerson and Chauncey Colton with an occasional jab from Meat Hanlon and Bucky Lewers for accessories, and what a feature for a reunion would be in the bag.

Twenty-five years as rector of St. John's church of Arlington, Mass., is the record of the later years of Charles Taber Hall. On February 8 the anniversary of his rectorship was most enthusiastically celebrated by the members of his parish in the form of a reception tendered Charles and Winifred in the parish hall of the church. A gathering of over 300, representative not only of the parish but of the community, showed the esteem in which the rector and his wife are held, and "the love and friendliness that has grown during the 25 years." In token of such feeling a silver dish heaped high with silver dollars was presented the rector. Special reference was made to the outstanding accomplishment of the erection of the splendid church edifice and the adequate financing of the same in these years of depression. Congratulations, Charlie and Winifred. The class wishes you continued success for many years to come.
