1900*

The class will miss Channing Sanborn. A constant attendant at our gatherings, he was never especially talkative, but his utterances, when made, were always marked by timeliness and good sense. He spent his life in effective service to the school system of New Hampshire, where he was recognized as among the most competent of its executives.

The annual fall dinner of the class, held at the Algonquin Club in Boston on October 25, was not so largely attended as some of its predecessors, but, a real family party, it lacked nothing in cheerfulness and good fellowship. The following were present— Atwood, Brooks, Fairfield, H. S., Hadlock, Howe, Jenkins, H. M., Jennings, McDavitt, Merry, Prescott, Rankin, Richardson, L. B., Sampson, Sears, F. D. Colonel Teague was also present early in the evening but was obliged to depart before dinner to attend the gathering of the Henry Teague Alumni Association—made up of many men who are serving or had served under him in his various activities—which was held the same evening. After the excellent dinner, President Rankin, now in his fortieth year as presiding officer of the class, discussed matters of interest to the group, while Clarence McDavitt gave an interesting talk centering around the discussions of the Alumni Council at its meeting held previously in the day. Harry Sampson then showed a eries of lantern views of the fortieth reunion of the class, as well as a number of colored slides showing in attractive and natural tones mountain views, flower scenery and autumn foliage. All present were impressed with Harry's skill as a photographer. The meeting broke up earlier than such gatherings were wont to do in our younger days, but there has been no dimunition in good fellowship in the lapse of years.

Fred Hadlock reports that he has changed his residence in Mansfield to 47 Union Street.

Philip, son of the late R. T. L. Lewis, was a graduate of the Massachusetts College of Osteopathy in June. Mrs. Lewis is still engaged in teaching school.

A complimentary dinner was tendered at the Winnisquam House, East Tilton, by his professional associates in Franklin and elsewhere to Dr. James B. Woodman on the occasion of his election to the presidency of the New England Surgical Society. Jim was presented with what the newspaper account described, a bit vaguely, as a "substantial gift," which, from this description, might range all the way from a gold brick to a second-hand elephant, but which probably was composed of neither of these articles. More concretely the report tells of his non-medical activities in Franklin during his long residence there—including membership in the City Council and the School Board; directorships of the Building and Loan Association and the Majalaki Country Club; trusteeship of the Franklin Savings Bank. He is also a 32d degree Mason and an Elk.
