During the past two months, since the last Class Notes appeared, we have heard from a number of our classmates and have seen others.

"Fred" Morrill of the Custom House, Boston, writes cheerfully, "of course we do feel middle age approaching at times." "Frank" Pelton of Miami comments, "hard to believe that in April I was 70 years old but records prove it." Says he hopes to get up to our 50th Reunion, and ruminates on the in- teresting developments which have come during our span of life.

Boutelle seems to be the same cheerful "Bob" "Dayton" Miller is still very active in Civic affairs at Dayton, and writes of the great warair activities in and around his native city.

under considerable strain due to the ill health of Mrs. Boutelle.

Mrs. Mason ("Roller" being away) writes that they hope to be at their East Northfield, Mass., summer home for August and September. Their permanent home is at St. Petersburg, Florida, Dr. Mason having retired last October from his important school work in New York City. Mrs. Mason broke her ankle in March and was, at time of writing, on crutches. Their second grandson was born last October.

As planned, Judge Griffith, Dr. Martyn, Dr. Eaton and your Secretary "re-uned" in May at Hanover. Fortunately Dr. Eaton arrived in Boston about the right time to take along your Secretary, who at that time was not allowed by his doctor to drive, due to a slight angina attack in April. On the way up we called on Dr. Pitt Joyce at Derry Village, and on "Skid" at Concord. Pitt Joyce and "Lill" Eaton are the only members left of that famous baseball team of '92.

We found "Skid" just about the same; much interested in everything going on and, as his daily column "Granite Chips" shows, an omnivorous reader of newspapers and current literature. H. C. P. is recognized as an authority on New Hampshire history and personalities, past and present.

At the Reunion, both Griffith and Martyn appeared in good spirits and health although the "King" was worried about Mrs. Martyn who was at that time under a nurse's care. We hope she is much improved.

"Woody" tells of the intense war activities of his daughters and himself. Calls on Calef, Sam Hunt, Rufus Baker and George Pender found them busy and well. George Dodge has not been in the best of health during the past few months although lately he has been at his place of business. Last reports from "Billy" Mann were that he was in a serious condition at the Concord, New Hampshire Hospital.

Last but far from least, President Guy Cox's name appears often in the newspapers in connection with various important functions.
