1904*

Our representation at the Boston Alumni Dinner Feb. 4 was high in quality and spirit but very low numerically. The opposite should be true for we are moving up each year nearer the speakers rostrum and this change should guarantee fewer next-morning headaches. Robbie—Pierce Hobbs—and Gene Sewall kept our banner in the air and, before retiring, their spokesman chided the Secretary in language both emphatic and quite understandable, for his absence. I hope Uncle Isaiah will tell his nephew it won't happen again.

SECOND ANNUAL "HUDDLE"

Plans are in the making, and you may receive the details before reading this notice, of another get-together meeting of the first five classes of the century, on some March evening, in Boston. Last March, the first of these occasions was attended by a dozen of our class, and a grand total of about fifty. That evening will be well remembered by all who were present. Lets increase the pleasure of the occasion by increasing our attendance. If you haven't already done so RESERVE YOUR SEAT.

Another address change—this time its that pee-wee quarterback of freshman year, Jack Belknap changed to Route 1, Lakeport, California. You know thoughts of Jack bring memories of the fall of 1900 and comradeship with Jack, Harry Morse, Jim Elderkin, Fred Poor, Dondero, Tick Andrews, Nut Sayles, Louis Perry. Jack could do more with his fighting football weight of 122 pounds than any footballer of that weight I can remember.

Word has recently been received of the death in January, at his Brooklyn home, of Dr. Walter S. Bennett. Bennett went to Colgate for his senior year, then to Medical School. April Necrology columns will have an account of his life.

The annual report of the Hooker Electrochemical Company of which Ned Bartlett is executive vice president, speaks volumes for the business skill and success of this busy classmate. In Ned's early days with the company they manufactured and sold two products, caustic soda and bleaching powder. Last year they manufactured and sold ninety-one different chemical products.

Sue Norton writes that their son Russell —Dr. Russell Capron Norton—was married on January 24 to Miss Janet Wadhams of Torrington, Connecticut at the Center Congregational Church in that city. The bride, a graduate of Skidmore was art teacher at the Withersfield. Connecticut High School. Russell graduated from Middlebury and received his medical degree at University of Rochester. Members of the class will be glad to know that Dan's son has chosen the profession in which his father was so skillful and so favorably known. Dr. and Mrs. Norton will live in Binghamton, New York where he is a senior interne at the Binghamton City Hospital.

My open request to Spike Sanborn for iV£FFS was misunderstood. He sent a onehundred-page Sunday edition of the Saint Paul Pioneer Press printed January 25th which I haven't been able to finish yet. Thus far I have reached the conclusion that his home city is quite different from the town of Epsom, N. H., population 678 (1939), where the house of Sanborn was originally established. There was a bit of home-town pride in this gesture of Spike's for the paper described the Twin City winter carnival and parade that was attended by 250,000 persons. Thanks, Spike, for telling us about the other quarter of a million. Now some REAL Twin City news of yourself.
