1894*

Word from the Rossiter homestead at Claremont gives a good report about the gradual gain toward health of our classmate Charles Timothy. His wife intimates that the gain is slow and he thinks it very slow but nevertheless he is really getting stronger. The assurance of the doctor is that he will come all right and will be able to get about comfortably.

The salutatorian of our class with entire appropriateness, recently accepted membership on the Scholarship Committee of the Phi Beta Kappa Alumni in New York. Paul writes that after the big dinner of last year, when three thousand were in attendance, it is up to him and his confreres to do something to further the ideals for which Phi Beta Kappa stands.

The committee appointed at the last reunion reports through Paul Jenks that they have written to the absentee classmates. Replies have come from Eddie Grover, Jim Townsend, Fred Bushee, Edgar Hodsdon, and Frank Balch. Says Paul:

"These replies were in themselves ample repayment for the time and effort I put into the assignment, and most of them said they planned to come in 1944. So far so good."

Billy Wallis is spending the month of February on a trip to Guatemala.

Another Billy (Ames) is on his annual hike to Florida. It will be interesting to learn how many of his oranges were not frozen. Here's hoping that he gets over to Winter Park and makes it a foursome with Victor Spooner, Herman Lovejoy, and Eddie Grover.
