1899*

Peddy Miller reports that the regulations as to age limits place him on the retired list at the end of this school year but as he has been appointed Visiting Professor at Temple University in Philadelphia for next year his active teaching is not quite over. He expects to commence his autobiography this summer and it should make most interesting reading as he has had such varied experiences and has taught in eight different colleges and universities.

Bill Wiggin is rejoicing in the addition to his family of a son, Arthur William Wiggin, born at Exeter, N. H., March 30, 1940. Your Secretary recently met the youngest ninety-niner personally, and also inspected the wooden heel factory under the guidance of Bill.

Louise E. Musgrove has been principal of the Lafayette School at Portsmouth, N. H., for the last five years. Frank R. Musgrove has been acting as a census enumerator checking up the present residents of Hanover, N. H.

Benny has now become an Assistant Professor in the Department of Education, his promotion having been announced only a short time ago.

Weary Wardle returned from his vacation in Florida about the middle of April and is now back at Grand Mere much improved in health and courage.

Your Secretary and his wife took a short vacation recently, visiting Washington, D. C., where we enjoyed the hospitality of Helen and Warren Kendall. They arranged a ninety-nine party for us and among the guests were the Frank Staleys, the Howland Sargeants, Mrs. Edna Johnston and our daughter Mary. Frank and his wife plan to spend his summer vacation motoring across the continent visiting one son in the middle west and two at San Francisco, incidentally calling on a few ninety-niners on the way. We were unable to make connections with the Pearls as Ray was too deeply involved in convention appointments in addition to his usual teaching assignments. While in Washington I attended a weekly luncheon meeting of the Washington Association of Dartmouth Alumni and was shocked to discover that I was the oldest alumnus present. On the way home we called on the Greenwoods at Hartford and found them about the same as usual. Mary was digging in her rock garden.

The writer hopes this paragraph will serve as a special request to any ninetyniner who has not already done so, to forthwith write him a letter for the coming class report. Under the usual order of publication of the MAGAZINE this will have allowed a fair time to have replied to my letter making the same request, and as we are paying for a 100% subscription I would like very much to check up on the response I can get from a note in this column.

Secretary, York Village, Maine

Class Agent, 659 Allen St., Syracuse, N. Y.
