1899*

The Washington Sunday Star of August 17th had an article about the work of Warren Kendall in directing the efforts of the railroads in "the battle of the freight cars" as a part of the defense program. We remember that he held a similar position during the world war.

Miss Frances M. Parker, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. David W. Parker, was married September 27th to Mr. William Otis Faxon ad, son of Dr. and Mrs. Nathaniel Faxon of Chestnut Hill, Mass. The wedding took place at noon in the Franklin St. Congregational Church in Manchester, and a reception followed at the home of the bride's parents. Mrs. Faxon was graduated from Mt. Holyoke College in 1935 and received her master's degree at Columbia in 1937. Mr. Faxon was graduated from Harvard in 1932 and received his master's degree from Harvard Graduate School of Engineering. They will make their home at 165 East 83d St., New York, N. Y.

Alaska seems to be growing in popularity with '99ers as the Walter Eastmans and the Leon Woodmans were there during the summer vacation. The Eastmans were entertained by Bones and Mrs. Woodward at their country estate on Lake Washington. As several '99ers have been to Alaska beginning with Frank Staly and Montie Fuller who were real "sour doughs" the Secretary would like a report of all who have been there and perhaps a '99 Alaska club might be formed.

Mr. Justice Charles H. Donahue, senior member of the Supreme Court of Massachusetts, Judge Nelson P. Brown, senior member of the Superior Court and District Attorney, Owen A. Hoban were among the members of the Massachusetts judiciary participating in the first "Red Mass" celebrated in Massachusetts at the Church of the Immaculate Conception in Boston. The "Red Mass" is an ancient European institution asking for divine blessing upon those in authority dispensing justice. It got its name from the rich red decorations of the high altar and the red gowns worn by the high members of Foreign Courts.

A son of '99 entered Dartmouth this fall Robert C. Joy ig4g who lives at 104 Ripley. Rab Abbott and son who attended the DartmouthAmherst Game at Hanover reported that it seemed quite like old times.

Paul Osgood called on the Secretary during the summer but I was sorry not to be in.

Secretary, York Village, Me. Treasurer, 18 Stoneland Rd. Way, Shrewsbury, Mass.
